From d811b3d5566f1441b321a1219c260124b209e0bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2012 19:57:28 +0300 Subject: mac80211: fix invalid band deref building preq IEs The function building probe-request IEs does not validate the band is supported before dereferencing it. This can result in a panic when all bands are traversed, as done during sched-scan start. Warn when this happens and return an empty probe request. Also fix sched-scan to not waste memory on unsupported bands.
