[PATCH 2/5] Staging: rtl8187se: Fix oops and memory poison caused by builtin ieee80211.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 27 2009 - 17:51:44 EST


From: leandro Costantino <lcostantino@xxxxxxxxx>

when modprobe and removing rtl8187se ( just for testing, i do not have
that card , and oops and a memory poison error happens on the builtin
ieee80211 of that driver. I dont know if they will port it to the
current ieeee80221 instead of the builtin ones, but just in case i
attach a proposed fix for that problem.

- Change for loop on ieee80211_crypto_deinit for list_for_each_safe to
remove items. Is there an spinlock needed here?
- Call ieee80211_crypto_deinit after exiting all registerd crypto protocols.
