+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: always allocate struct ieee802_11_elems
+
+As the 802.11 spec evolves, we need to parse more and more
+elements. This is causing the struct to grow, and we can no
+longer get away with putting it on the stack.
+
+Change the API to always dynamically allocate and return an
+allocated pointer that must be kfree()d later.
+
+As an alternative, I contemplated a scheme whereby we'd say
+in the code which elements we needed, e.g.
+
+ DECLARE_ELEMENT_PARSER(elems,
+ SUPPORTED_CHANNELS,
+ CHANNEL_SWITCH,
+ EXT(KEY_DELIVERY));
+
+ ieee802_11_parse_elems(..., &elems, ...);
+
+and while I think this is possible and will save us a lot
+since most individual places only care about a small subset
+of the elements, it ended up being a bit more work since a
+lot of places do the parsing and then pass the struct to
+other functions, sometimes with multiple levels.
