2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> commit b51aff057c9d0ef6c529dc25fd9f775faf7b6c63 upstream. Under memory pressure, the mac80211 mesh code may helpfully print a message that it failed to clone a mesh frame and then will proceed to crash trying to use it anyway. Fix that.
