A drive-by comment, not related to the patchset, but rather the ieee80211 driver itself.
Shift expressions with (1 << NUMBER) can be subtly broken once the NUMBER is 31 and the value gets silently cast to a 64bit type. It will become 0xfffffffff80000000.
I've checked the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_* defintions if this is even remotely possible and yes, IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_EXT == 31. Fortunatelly it seems to be used with used with a 32bit types (eg. _bitmap_shifter) so there are no surprises.
The recommended practice is to always use unsigned types for shifts, so "1U << ..." at least.
Ah, good catch! I think just using BIT() is the right replacement here, yes? I suppose that should be a separate patch.
I found definition of BIT in vdso/bits.h, that does not sound like a standard header, besides that it shifts 1UL, that may not be necessary everywhere. IIRC there were objections against using the macro at all.
3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO") moved it there from linux/bits.h, and linux/bits.h now includes vdso/bits.h, so it is still ever-present. :)
