wifi: ath11k: fix peer resolution on rx path when peer_id=0

2026-06-01T15:43:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2a2451a34afdf563b3102d36a4b6cf335cf813e2 ] It has been observed that on certain chipsets a peer can be assigned peer_id=0. For reception of non-aggregated MPDUs this is fine as ath11k_dp_rx_h_find_peer() has a fallback case where it locates the peer based upon the source MAC address. On an aggregated link, the mpdu_start header is only populated by hardware on the first sub-MSDU. This causes the peer resolution to be skipped for the subsequent MSDUs and the encryption type of these frames to be set to an incorrect value, resulting in these MSDUs being dropped by ieee80211. ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: data rx skb 000000002f4b704d len 1534 peer xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 0 ucast sn 3063 he160 rate_idx 9 vht_nss 2 freq 5240 band 1 flag 0x40d1a fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0 peer_id 0 first_msdu 1 last_msdu 0 ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: data rx skb 0000000038acd580 len 1534 peer (null) 0 ucast sn 3063 he160 rate_idx 9 vht_nss 2 freq 5240 band 1 flag 0x40d00 fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0 peer_id 0 first_msdu 0 last_msdu 1 Remove the null peer_id checks in ath11k_dp_rx_h_find_peer() and ath11k_hal_rx_parse_mon_status_tlv(), allowing peers with an assigned ID of 0 to be resolved.

wifi: ath11k: clear shared SRNG pointer state on restart

2026-06-01T15:43:07+00:00

commit f51e4b3b5574ad8cb5b16b11f8a1452147ece87a upstream. LMAC rings reuse the shared rdp/wrp pointer buffers without going through the normal SRNG hw-init path that zeros non-LMAC ring pointers. After restart, ath11k_hal_srng_clear() can therefore hand stale hp/tp state from the previous firmware instance back to the new one. Clear the shared pointer buffers while keeping the allocations in place so restart still avoids reallocating SRNG DMA memory, but starts with fresh ring-pointer state.

wifi: ath5k: do not access array OOB

'ts->ts_final_idx' can be 3 on 5212, so: info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx + 1].idx = -1; with the array defined as: struct ieee80211_tx_rate rates[IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES]; while the size is: #define IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES 4 is indeed bogus. 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). Note: The effect of the OOB write is negligible. It just overwrites the next member of info->status, i.e. ack_signal.

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

2026-04-27T13:23:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit d5ad6ab61cbd89afdb60881f6274f74328af3ee9 ] 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: ath11k: Pass the correct value of each TID during a stop AMPDU session

2026-04-11T12:19:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit e225b36f83d7926c1f2035923bb0359d851fdb73 ] 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: ath11k: Use dma_alloc_noncoherent for rx_tid buffer allocation

2026-04-11T12:19:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit eeadc6baf8b3dcd32787cc84f0473dc2a2850370 ] Currently, the driver allocates cacheable DMA buffers for the rx_tid structure using kzalloc() and dma_map_single(). These buffers are long-lived and can persist for the lifetime of the peer, which is not advisable. Instead of using kzalloc() and dma_map_single() for allocating cacheable DMA buffers, utilize the dma_alloc_noncoherent() helper for the allocation of long-lived cacheable DMA buffers, such as the peer's rx_tid. Since dma_alloc_noncoherent() returns unaligned physical and virtual addresses, align them internally before use within the driver. This ensures proper allocation of non-coherent memory through the kernel helper.

wifi: ath11k: skip status ring entry processing

2026-04-11T12:19:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c2b796be3a12a11ab611917fafdabc9d3862a1d ] If STATUS_BUFFER_DONE is not set for a monitor status ring entry, we don't process the status ring until STATUS_BUFFER_DONE set for that status ring entry. During LMAC reset it may happen that hardware will not write STATUS_BUFFER_DONE tlv in status buffer, in that case we end up waiting for STATUS_BUFFER_DONE leading to backpressure on monitor status ring. To fix the issue, when HP (Head Pointer) + 1 entry is peeked and if DMA is not done and if HP + 2 entry's DMA done is set, replenish HP + 1 entry and start processing in next interrupt. If HP + 2 entry's DMA done is not set, poll onto HP + 1 entry DMA done to be set. Also, during monitor attach HP points to the end of the ring and TP (Tail Pointer) points to the start of the ring. Using ath11k_hal_srng_src_peek() may result in processing invalid buffer for the very first interrupt. Since, HW starts writing buffer from TP. To avoid this issue call ath11k_hal_srng_src_next_peek() instead of calling ath11k_hal_srng_src_peek().

wifi: ath10k: fix lock protection in ath10k_wmi_event_peer_sta_ps_state_chg()

2026-03-04T12:20:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 820ba7dd6859ef8b1eaf6014897e7aa4756fc65d ] ath10k_wmi_event_peer_sta_ps_state_chg() uses lockdep_assert_held() to assert that ar->data_lock should be held by the caller, but neither ath10k_wmi_10_2_op_rx() nor ath10k_wmi_10_4_op_rx() acquire this lock before calling this function. The field arsta->peer_ps_state is documented as protected by ar->data_lock in core.h, and other accessors (ath10k_peer_ps_state_disable, ath10k_dbg_sta_read_peer_ps_state) properly acquire this lock. Add spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() around the peer_ps_state update, and remove the lockdep_assert_held() to be aligned with new locking, following the pattern used by other WMI event handlers in the driver.
