Hi Dave,

Unfortunately I neglected to send you a pull request last week,
so it's here now. We gave a number of fairly important fixes
(two found by KASAN, the wext thing that for some reason people
have started seeing issues with) so it'd be good if these can
still go into 4.5.

Let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes

  cfg80211: stop critical protocol session upon disconnect event (2016-02-23 10:41:24 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Another small set of fixes:
 * stop critical protocol session on disconnect to avoid
   it getting stuck
 * wext: fix two RTNL message ordering issues
 * fix an uninitialized value (found by KASAN)
 * fix an out-of-bounds access (also found by KASAN)
 * clear connection keys when freeing them in all cases
   (IBSS, all other places already did so)
 * fix expected throughput unit to get consistent values
 * set default TX aggregation timeout to 0 in minstrel
   to avoid (really just hide) issues and perform better
