From 0dbd09e6284dc7c3de1470e2f1a3c83e0a0fc591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:55:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: zero arvif memory on add_interface() The private memory area in vif provided by mac80211 isn't guaranteed to be zeroed. This patch should fix issues when switching between STA and AP interface types. The tim_bitmap could become polluted by STA bssid field (since it's a union), wep_keys array could also become polluted with invalid pointers and probably much more.
