net: b44: set pause params only when interface is up
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit e3eb7dd upstream.

b44_free_rings() accesses b44::rx_buffers (and ::tx_buffers)
unconditionally, but b44::rx_buffers is only valid when the
device is up (they get allocated in b44_open(), and deallocated
again in b44_close()), any other time these are just a NULL pointers.

So if you try to change the pause params while the network interface
is disabled/administratively down, everything explodes (which likely
netifd tries to do).
