4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 67bd52386125ce1159c0581cbcd2740addf33cd4 ] hwsim_new_radio_nl() now copies the name attribute in order to add a null-terminator. mac80211_hwsim_new_radio() (indirectly) copies it again into the net_device structure, so the first copy is not used or freed later. Free the first copy before returning.
