Subject: [PATCH 3.16 205/254] nl80211: take RCU read lock when calling
 ieee80211_bss_get_ie()
In-Reply-To: <lsq.1519831217.271785318@decadent.org.uk>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

commit 7a94b8c2eee7083ddccd0515830f8c81a8e44b1a upstream.

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")
