[PATCH 3.12 042/113] mac80211: Fix adding of mesh vendor IEs

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Thorsten Horstmann <thorsten@xxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit da7061c82e4a1bc6a5e134ef362c86261906c860 upstream.

The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.
