    mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookies · 3b79af97
    Johannes Berg authored
    Even if the pointers are really only accessible to root and used
    pretty much only by wpa_supplicant, this is still not great; even
    for debugging it'd be easier to have something that's easier to
    read and guaranteed to never get reused.
    
    With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the
    mgmt-tx path this becomes possible, only the client probe method
    needs to also allocate an ack_skb, and we can store the cookie in
    that skb.
