The following patch series adds and implements two new cfg80211_ops that
allow to query the content of the mac80211s mesh proxy path table via
netlink.

v2 changes:
* split the original patch into separate cfg80211 and mac80211 part

v3 change:
* change of commit messages, added signoff

v4 change:
* another change of commit messages

Henning Rogge (2):
  cfg80211: add ops to query mesh proxy path table
  mac80211: implement cfg80211_ops to query mesh proxy path table

This doesn't seem to be concurrency safe?

Neither is the existing mesh_paths_generation++, I think, so maybe it's
not something we really need to worry about?

Uhh... I must admit I am not completely sure... this is just my third
kernel patch, so I am still learning about all the arcane locking/RCU
systems of the kernel.

I think it should be reasonable safe. The variable is only increased
(never decreased) and is used as a "information version number" for
the dumps via netlink to the userspace. I think the current userspace
tools ignore the variable completely.

Fair enough. I'll apply it. If an update is lost, it's likely that
userspace saw a previous value anyway.

Both applied.
