+Subject: [PATCH v2] cfg80211: initialize sinfo in cfg80211_get_station
+
+Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize
+sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled",
+which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified
+by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits
+in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can
+then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by
+cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations).
+
+cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to
+zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not
+filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In
+batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput
+may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may
+switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.
