From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Ilan reported that sometimes nl80211 messages weren't working if the frames being transported got very large, which was really a problem for userspace-to-kernel messages, but prompted me to look at the code. Upon review, I found various places where variable-length data is transported in an nl80211 message but the message isn't allocated taking that into account. This shouldn't cause any problems since the frames aren't really that long, apart in one place where two (possibly very long frames) might not fit. Fix all the places (that I found) that get variable length data from the driver and put it into a message to take the length of the variable data into account. The 100 there is just a safe constant for the remaining message overhead (it's usually around 50 for most messages.)
