From 69687a0b9934942e61bf8148c242adea87183a5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luis Carlos Cobo Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 12:29:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix access to null skb Without this patch, if xmit_skb is null but net_ratelimit() returns 0 we would go to the else branch and access the null xmit_skb.
