The first two patches in this series are bug fixes and should be backported to stable. They fixes a number of issues with the use of the rhashtable API in mac80211. First of all it converts the use of rashtable walks over to a simple linked list. This is because an rhashtable walk is inherently unstable and not meant for uses that require stability, e.g., when you're trying to lookup an object to delete. It also fixes a potential memory leak when the rhashtable insertion fails (which can occur due to OOM). The third patch is a code-cleanup to mac80211 while the last patch removes an obsolete rhashtable API.
