commit 05aaa5c97dce4c10a9e7eae2f1569a684e0c5ced upstream.
In a very similar spirit to commit c470bdc1aaf3 ("mac80211: don't WARN
on bad WMM parameters from buggy APs"), an AP may not transmit a
fully-formed WMM IE. For example, it may miss or repeat an Access
Category. The above loop won't catch that and will instead leave one of
the four ACs zeroed out. This triggers the following warning in
drv_conf_tx()
wlan0: invalid CW_min/CW_max: 0/0
and it may leave one of the hardware queues unconfigured. If we detect
such a case, let's just print a warning and fall back to the defaults.
Tested with a hacked version of hostapd, intentionally corrupting the
IEs in hostapd_eid_wmm().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
