On 2021-07-30 syzbot reported the following bug in net/wireless/scan.c:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Hillf Danton proposed a patch, which I can’t find on lore but is available here:
https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/c/fhfh_VqZQkI
As you can see at the end of that thread, syzkaller has automatically closed this bug because it hasn’t seen it in a while. However, the proposed patch appears to be a valid bug fix. Can you re-evaluate it for consideration?
Thanks,
zzy

That's not a proper way to submit patches, see the wiki link below how
to submit wireless patches.

It didn't really look like that to me. Explain why you think so?
