[ 25/82] mac80211: Only process mesh config header on frames that RA_MATCH

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Nov 14 2012 - 00:54:12 EST


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

------------------

From: Javier Cardona <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 555cb715be8ef98b8ec362b23dfc254d432a35b1 upstream.

Doing otherwise is wrong, and may wreak havoc on the mpp tables,
specially if the frame is encrypted.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: we have a large block conditional on
IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH rather than a goto conditional on the opposite,
so delete the condition]
