What exactly do you want to test? Whether this issue is present in a
specific device for which you do not have source code for to verify
whether it was fixed? If so, it's probably easiest to open the Wi-Fi
Direct window to start device discovery and use a test tool (e.g.,
another device with modified wpa_supplicant in P2P listen state) to
reply with a 255-octet long SSID element. If the issue is present in the
Android device, the segmentation fault for the wpa_supplicant process
should be visible in the logcat output.
