wifi: ath10k: fix station lookup failure during disconnect

2026-05-23T11:08:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9a34a59c6086ae731a06b3e61b0951feef758648 ] Recent commit [1] moved station statistics collection to an earlier stage of the disconnect flow. With this change in place, ath10k fails to resolve the station entry when handling a peer stats event triggered during disconnect, resulting in log messages such as: wlp58s0: deauthenticating from 74:1a:e0:e7:b4:c8 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: not found station for peer stats ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: failed to parse stats info tlv: -22 The failure occurs because ath10k relies on ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() for station lookup. That function uses local->sta_hash, but by the time the peer stats request is triggered during disconnect, mac80211 has already removed the station from that hash table, leading to lookup failure. Before commit [1], this issue was not visible because the transition from IEEE80211_STA_NONE to IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST prevented ath10k from sending a peer stats request at all: ath10k_mac_sta_get_peer_stats_info() would fail early to find the peer and skip requesting statistics. Fix this by switching the lookup path to ath10k_peer_find(), which queries ath10k's internal peer table. At the point where the firmware emits the peer stats event, the peer entry is still present in the driver's list, ensuring lookup succeeds.

wifi: ath12k: Fix legacy rate mapping for monitor mode capture

2026-05-23T11:08:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 616217a989e09c55398db8555e5ef0c64504cb66 ] The current implementation incorrectly reports legacy CCK and OFDM rates in monitor mode radiotap headers. The rate field displays wrong values, for example showing 11 Mbps when the actual rate is 1 Mbps. This occurs because the HAL layer uses a unified enum for both CCK and OFDM rates without distinguishing between long/short preamble variants and proper rate mapping to hardware rate indices. The root cause is threefold: 1. The hal_rx_legacy_rate enum conflates CCK and OFDM rates into a single enumeration, making it impossible to differentiate between 802.11b CCK rates (with long/short preamble variants) and 802.11a/g OFDM rates. 2. The L-SIG-B parsing function maps hardware rate values to the wrong enum values. For CCK rates, it incorrectly combines long and short preamble cases (e.g., cases 2 and 5 both map to 2 Mbps), losing preamble information critical for proper rate identification. 3. The mac layer's rate-to-index conversion function does not properly handle the precedence between long preamble, short preamble, and OFDM rates when matching hardware rate values. Split the hal_rx_legacy_rate enum into two separate enumerations: hal_rx_legacy_rate for CCK rates with explicit long preamble (LP) and short preamble (SP) variants, and hal_rx_legacy_rates_ofdm for OFDM rates. This separation allows proper identification of rate types and preamble modes. Introduce a new mapping ath12k_wifi7_hal_mon_map_legacy_rate_to_hw_rate() that converts HAL CCK rate enums to hardware rate indices defined in ath12k_hw_rate_cck. This ensures the rate field in ppdu_info contains the correct hardware rate index that matches the mac layer's expectations. Update the L-SIG-B parsing to map each hardware rate value (1-7) to its corresponding CCK rate enum with proper preamble designation: - Cases 1-4: Long preamble (1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps) - Cases 5-7: Short preamble (2, 5.5, 11 Mbps) Update the L-SIG-A parsing to use the new OFDM-specific enum values, maintaining the existing rate mapping for 802.11a/g OFDM rates. Refactor the mac layer's ath12k_mac_hw_rate_to_idx() function to implement proper matching precedence: 1. First match OFDM rates using the IEEE80211_RATE_MANDATORY_A flag 2. Then match CCK short preamble rates 3. Finally match CCK long preamble rates as fallback Add helper macros ATH12K_MAC_RATE_A_M and ATH12K_MAC_RATE_B to improve readability of the rate table initialization and ensure the mandatory flag is set for OFDM rates. This fix ensures monitor mode captures display accurate rate information in the radiotap header, correctly distinguishing between 1 Mbps and 11 Mbps, and properly identifying preamble types for CCK rates.

wifi: ath12k: account TX stats only when ACK/BA status is present

2026-05-23T11:08:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1635ecc61a24597f893d057d004051a535c1c643 ] The fields tx_retry_failed, tx_retry_count, and tx_duration are currently updated outside the HTT_PPDU_STATS_TAG_USR_COMPLTN_ACK_BA_STATUS flag check. In certain scenarios, firmware delivers multiple PPDU statistics for the same PPDU, first without BA/ACK information, and later with BA/ACK status once it becomes available. As the same PPDU is processed again, these counters are updated a second time, resulting in duplicate TX statistics. To address this, move the accounting of tx_retry_failed and tx_retry_count under the ACK/BA status flag check, and similarly gate tx_duration on the same path. This ensures that each PPDU contributes to these counters exactly once, avoids double counting, and provides consistent reporting in userspace tools such as station dump.

wifi: ath11k: fix memory leaks in beacon template setup

[ Upstream commit ff49eba595df500e4ddccc593088c8a4ab5f2c27 ] The functions ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_ema() and ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_mbssid() allocate memory for beacon templates but fail to free it when parameter setup returns an error. Since beacon templates must be released during normal execution, they must also be released in the error handling paths to prevent memory leaks. Fix this by using unified exit paths with proper cleanup in the respective error paths. Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool and code review.

Set this 'idx = -1' sentinel only if the array index is less than the array size. As mac80211 will not look at rates beyond the size (IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES).

wifi: ath12k: Pass the correct value of each TID during a stop AMPDU session

2026-03-24T13:44:00+00:00

With traffic ongoing for data TID [TID 0], an DELBA request to stop AMPDU for the BA session was received on management TID [TID 4]. The corresponding TID number was incorrectly passed to stop the BA session, resulting in the BA session for data TIDs being stopped and the BA size being reduced to 1, causing an overall dip in TCP throughput. Fix this issue by passing the correct argument from ath12k_dp_rx_ampdu_stop() to ath12k_dp_arch_peer_rx_tid_reo_update() during an AMPDU stop session. Instead of passing peer->dp_peer->rx_tid, which is the base address of the array, corresponding to TID 0, pass the value of &peer->dp_peer->rx_tid[params->tid]. With this, the different TID numbers are accounted for.

wifi: ath11k: Pass the correct value of each TID during a stop AMPDU session

2026-03-24T13:44:00+00:00

During ongoing traffic, a request to stop an AMPDU session for one TID could incorrectly affect other active sessions. This can happen because an incorrect TID reference would be passed when updating the BA session state, causing the wrong session to be stopped. As a result, the affected session would be reduced to a minimal BA size, leading to a noticeable throughput degradation. Fix this issue by passing the correct argument from ath11k_dp_rx_ampdu_stop() to ath11k_peer_rx_tid_reo_update() during a stop AMPDU session. Instead of passing peer->tx_tid, which is the base address of the array, corresponding to TID 0; pass the value of &peer->rx_tid[params->tid], where the different TID numbers are accounted for.

wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure

2026-03-18T08:09:58+00:00

ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the fragmentation check both do. Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent, and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76, mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free. Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

wifi: ath12k: fix station lookup failure when disconnecting from AP

2026-02-26T15:18:32+00:00

In ath12k_wmi_tlv_fw_stats_data_parse() and ath12k_wmi_tlv_rssi_chain_parse(), the driver uses ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() to look up the station associated with the incoming firmware statistics. This works under normal conditions but fails during AP disconnection, resulting in log messages like: wlan0: deauthenticating from xxxxxx by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) wlan0: moving STA xxxxxx to state 3 wlan0: moving STA xxxxxx to state 2 wlan0: moving STA xxxxxx to state 1 ath12k_pci 0000:02:00.0: not found station bssid xxxxxx for vdev stat ath12k_pci 0000:02:00.0: not found station of bssid xxxxxx for rssi chain ath12k_pci 0000:02:00.0: failed to pull fw stats: -71 ath12k_pci 0000:02:00.0: time out while waiting for get fw stats wlan0: Removed STA xxxxxx wlan0: Destroyed STA xxxxxx The failure happens because the station has already been removed from ieee80211_local::sta_hash by the time firmware statistics are requested through drv_sta_statistics(). Switch the lookup to ath12k_link_sta_find_by_addr(), which searches the driver's link station hash table that still has the station recorded at that time. This also implicitly fixes another issue: the current code always uses deflink regardless of which link the statistics belong to, which is incorrect in MLO scenarios. The new helper returns the correct link station. Additionally, raise the log level on lookup failures. With the updated helper, such failures should no longer occur under normal conditions.
