Hi,
This patch doesn't appear to do anything? The increased length is not actually used, is a part of the patch missing? ps: superficial reading, i am not hampered by any specific knowledge of this driver. On 2019-10-19 21:02, Larry Finger wrote:
In commit 8020919a9b99 ("mac80211: Properly handle SKB with radiotap only"), buffers whose length is too short cause a WARN_ON(1) to be executed.
