[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 5/8] mac80211: fix possible sta leak

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-08-29 10:52:42
Also in: linux-wireless, lkml, stable
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 5fd2f91ad483baffdbe798f8a08f1b41442d1e24 ]

If TDLS station addition is rejected, the sta memory is leaked.
Avoid this by moving the check before the allocation.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 7ed5285396c2 ("mac80211: don't initiate TDLS connection if station is not associated to AP")
