[patch 2/2 v2] Staging: rtl8192e: pointer math bug in rtllib_rx_DELBA()

Show all headers | View raw

The pointer math here was totally wrong so we were reading nonsense
information from beyond the end of the buffer.  It could lead to an oops
if that memory wasn't mapped.

The "pReasonCode" pointer is assigned but never used so I deleted it.

v2: Mateusz noticed some more pointer math bugs on the next lines.
