Subject: pull-request: mac80211 2015-07-17

Hi Dave,

We've accumulated some wireless fixes, please pull. Arik's fix is a bit
bigger than I might like, but it fixes a real locking issue and we
didn't really see a good way to make a smaller version.

Let me know if there's any problem.

johannes

  cfg80211: use RTNL locked reg_can_beacon for IR-relaxation (2015-07-17 15:02:02 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Some fixes for the current cycle:

 1. Arik introduced an rtnl-locked regulatory API to be able
    to differentiate between place do/don't have the RTNL;
    this fixes missing locking in some of the code paths

 2. Two small mesh bugfixes from Bob, one to avoid treating
    a certain malformed over-the-air frame and one to avoid
    sending a garbage field over the air.

 3. A fix for powersave during WoWLAN suspend from Krishna Chaitanya.

 4. A fix for a powersave vs. aggregation teardown race, from Michal.

 5. Thomas reduced the loglevel of CRDA messages to avoid spamming
    the kernel log with mostly irrelevant information.

 6. Tom fixed a dangling debugfs directory pointer that could cause
    crashes if subsequent addition of the same interface to debugfs
    failed for some reason.

 7. A fix from myself for a list corruption issue in mac80211 during
    combined interface shutdown/removal - shut down interfaces first
    and only then remove them to avoid that.
