Johannes Berg 8af596e8ae wifi: mac80211: clear frame buffer to never leak stack
In disconnect paths paths, local frame buffers are used
to build deauthentication frames to send them over the
air and as notifications to userspace. Some internal
error paths (that, given no other bugs, cannot happen)
don't always initialize the buffers before sending them
to userspace, so in the presence of other bugs they can
leak stack content. Initialize the buffers to avoid the
possibility of this happening.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
