3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Biggers <ebigg...@google.com>
commit 814596495dd2b9d4aab92d8f89cf19060d25d2ea upstream.
wiphy names were recently limited to 128 bytes by commit a7cfebcb7594
("cfg80211: limit wiphy names to 128 bytes"). As it turns out though,
this isn't sufficient because dev_vprintk_emit() needs the syslog header
string "SUBSYSTEM=ieee80211\0DEVICE=+ieee80211:$devname" to fit into 128
bytes. This triggered the "device/subsystem name too long" WARN when
the device name was >= 90 bytes. As before, this was reproduced by
syzbot by sending an HWSIM_CMD_NEW_RADIO command to the MAC80211_HWSIM
generic netlink family.
Fix it by further limiting wiphy names to 64 bytes.
