Subject: [PATCH v3] nl80211: take RCU read lock when calling ieee80211_bss_get_ie()
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 08:12:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180115071215.GA2639@light.dominikbrodowski.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1515969647.26804.33.camel@sipsolutions.net>

As ieee80211_bss_get_ie() derefences an RCU to return ssid_ie, both
the call to this function and any operation on this variable need
protection by the RCU read lock.

Fixes: 44905265bc15 ("nl80211: don't expose wdev->ssid for most interfaces")

OK, done that (and updated the commit message), and testet it.

Thanks,
	Dominik
