commit 73e1a65d3c4a013f6fa56e47133be95143a75fe3 Author: Zhu Yi <yi....@intel.com> Date: Thu Jan 8 10:19:58 2009 -0800 iwlwifi: remove CMD_WANT_SKB flag if send_cmd_sync failure In function iwl_send_cmd_sync(), if the flag CMD_WANT_SKB is set but we are not provided with a valid SKB (cmd->meta.u.skb == NULL), we need to remove the CMD_WANT_SKB flag from the TX cmd queue. Otherwise in case the cmd comes in later, it will possibly set an invalid address. Thus it causes an invalid memory access. This fixed the bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11326.
