Subject: mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation.
X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.0.0-8.9~18596^2~16^2~115

mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation.

Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the
mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent
that value from changing between table allocation and copying.  We have
observed crashes that might be caused by this.
