[ Upstream commit a64b6a25dd9f984ed05fade603a00e2eae787d2f ]
If the userland switches back-and-forth between NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB and
NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), there is a
chance where the cleanup cfg80211_leave_ocb() is not called. This leads
to initialization of in-use memory (e.g. init u.ibss while in-use by
u.ocb) due to a shared struct/union within ieee80211_sub_if_data:
struct ieee80211_sub_if_data {
...
union {
struct ieee80211_if_ap ap;
struct ieee80211_if_vlan vlan;
struct ieee80211_if_managed mgd;
struct ieee80211_if_ibss ibss; // <- shares address
struct ieee80211_if_mesh mesh;
struct ieee80211_if_ocb ocb; // <- shares address
struct ieee80211_if_mntr mntr;
struct ieee80211_if_nan nan;
} u;
...
}
Therefore add handling of otype == NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB, during
cfg80211_change_iface() to perform cleanup when leaving OCB mode.

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 Restructured Text 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.
