3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit da7061c82e4a1bc6a5e134ef362c86261906c860 upstream.
The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.
Fixes: 082ebb0c258d ("mac80211: fix mesh beacon format")
