3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 51a1aaa631c90223888d8beac4d649dc11d2ca55 upstream.
When creating a new radio on the fly, hwsim allows this
to be done with an arbitrary number of channels, but
cfg80211 only supports a limited number of simultaneous
channels, leading to a warning.
Fix this by validating the number - this requires moving
the define for the maximum out to a visible header file.
Reported-by: syzbot+8dd9051ff19940290931@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: b59ec8dd4394 ("mac80211_hwsim: fix number of channels in interface combinations")
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Test chans intead of param.channels
- GENL_SET_ERR_MSG() is not available
- Adjust context]
