Subject: [PATCH 2.6.34] mac80211: fix blockack-req processing
Date: Sun, 30 May 2010 14:52:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1275223978.3599.0.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)

Daniel reported that the paged RX changes had
broken blockack request frame processing due
to using data that wasn't really part of the
skb data.

Fix this using skb_copy_bits() for the needed
data. As a side effect, this adds a check on
processing too short frames, which previously
this code could do.

Ok so maybe this patch is better than the
linearize one after all since we only ever
process this type of control frame anyway,
and unlike skb_linearize() skb_copy_bits()
cannot fail (unless the bits didn't exist
in the frame to start with).
