If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f3bb889be252b0616f7f3db82e07214ccb1646b9 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 20 15:40:05 2021 +0200 mac80211: mesh: fix potentially unaligned access [ Upstream commit b9731062ce8afd35cf723bf3a8ad55d208f915a5 ] The pointer here points directly into the frame, so the access is potentially unaligned. Use get_unaligned_le16 to avoid that.
