From a948f713842ad5c23f125efc61dee6951893219c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis Kenzior Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2018 15:05:48 -0500 Subject: nl80211/mac80211: allow non-linear skb in rx_control_port The current implementation of cfg80211_rx_control_port assumed that the caller could provide a contiguous region of memory for the control port frame to be sent up to userspace. Unfortunately, many drivers produce non-linear skbs, especially for data frames. This resulted in userspace getting notified of control port frames with correct metadata (from address, port, etc) yet garbage / nonsense contents, resulting in bad handshakes, disconnections, etc. mac80211 linearizes skbs containing management frames. But it didn't seem worthwhile to do this for control port frames. Thus the signature of cfg80211_rx_control_port was changed to take the skb directly. nl80211 then takes care of obtaining control port frame data directly from the (linear | non-linear) skb. The caller is still responsible for freeing the skb, cfg80211_rx_control_port does not take ownership of it.
