I'm seeing this in refresh_scan():
network_info = &last_scanned_shadow[i];
if (!memcmp("DIRECT-", network_info->ssid, 7) && !direct_scan)
continue;
freq = ieee80211_channel_to_frequency((s32)network_info->ch,
NL80211_BAND_2GHZ);
channel = ieee80211_get_channel(wiphy, freq);
rssi = get_rssi_avg(network_info);
bss = cfg80211_inform_bss(wiphy,
channel,
CFG80211_BSS_FTYPE_UNKNOWN,
network_info->bssid,
network_info->tsf_hi,
network_info->cap_info,
network_info->beacon_period,
(const u8 *)network_info->ies,
(size_t)network_info->ies_len,
(s32)rssi * 100,
GFP_KERNEL);
Looking further into cfg80211_inform_bss():
-> cfg80211_inform_bss_data()
-> cfg80211_get_bss_channel()
-> cfg80211_find_ie()
-> cfg80211_find_ie_match():
while (len >= 2 && len >= ies[1] + 2) {
if ((ies[0] == eid) &&
(ies[1] + 2 >= match_offset + match_len) &&
!memcmp(ies + match_offset, match, match_len))
return ies;
len -= ies[1] + 2;
ies += ies[1] + 2;
}
