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. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
