Johannes Berg c87905bec5 mac80211: set bss_info data before configuring the channel
When mac80211 changes the channel, it also calls into the driver's
bss_info_changed() callback, e.g. with BSS_CHANGED_IDLE. The driver
may, like iwlwifi does, access more data from bss_info in that case
and iwlwifi accesses the basic_rates bitmap, but if changing from a
band with more (basic) rates to one with fewer, an out-of-bounds
access of the rate array may result.

While we can't avoid having invalid data at some point in time, we
can avoid having it while we call the driver - so set up all the
data before configuring the channel, and then apply it afterwards.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
