Subject: mac80211_hwsim: check HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME length

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ff4dd73dd2b4806419f8ff65cbce11d5019548d0 ]

Unfortunately, the nla policy was defined to have HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME as an NLA_STRING, rather than NLA_NUL_STRING, so we can't use it as a NUL-terminated string in the kernel.

Rather than break the API, kasprintf() the string to a new buffer to guarantee NUL termination.
