Kernel oops in code added by "cfg80211: allow userspace to control supported rates in scan"

Hello!

The current wireless-testing.git has a problem. I'm trying to run wpa_supplicant on an interface created by carl9170 (with nl80211 driver), and it oopses in nl80211_trigger_scan(). It turns out it oopses here:

for (i = 0; i < IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS; i++)
      request->rates[i] = (1 << wiphy->bands[i]->n_bitrates) - 1;

Here's the self-explanatory debug output I added:

[  460.190157] IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS = 2
[  460.193636] request = ffff8801246dc500
[  460.197373] request->rates = ffff8801246dc520
[  460.201748] wiphy = ffff8800b78b84e0
[  460.205317] wiphy->bands = ffff8800b78b8590
[  460.209489] i = 0, wiphy->bands[i] = ffffffffa00a80a0
[  460.214559] i = 1, wiphy->bands[i] =           (null)

wiphy->bands[1] is NULL, so wiphy->bands[1]->n_bitrates is invalid.

Likewise, if I run "iwconfig wlanX scan", I get an oops in cfg80211_wext_siwscan() on line 866:

for (i = 0; i < IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS; i++)
     creq->rates[i] = (1 << wiphy->bands[i]->n_bitrates) - 1;

Both pieces of code were added by:
