wifi: brcmsmac: Fix dma_free_coherent() size

2026-04-07T10:34:03+00:00

dma_alloc_consistent() may change the size to align it. The new size is saved in alloced. Change the free size to match the allocation size.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

wifi: brcmsmac: phy: Remove unreachable error handling code

2026-02-03T12:11:12+00:00

wlc_phy_txpwr_srom_read_lcnphy() in wlc_phy_attach_lcnphy() always returns true, making the error handling code unreachable. Change the function's return type to void and remove the dead code, similar to the cleanup done for wlc_phy_txpwr_srom_read_nphy() in commit 47f0e32ffe4e ("wifi: brcmsmac: phy: Remove unreachable code").

wifi: brcmsmac: Remove const from tbl_ptr parameter in wlc_lcnphy_common_read_table()

2025-07-18T12:11:18+00:00

A new warning in clang [1] complains that diq_start in wlc_lcnphy_tx_iqlo_cal() is passed uninitialized as a const pointer to wlc_lcnphy_common_read_table(): drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/phy_lcn.c:2728:13: error: variable 'diq_start' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer] 2728 | &diq_start, 1, 16, 69); | ^~~~~~~~~ The table pointer passed to wlc_lcnphy_common_read_table() should not be considered constant, as wlc_phy_read_table() is ultimately going to update it. Remove the const qualifier from the tbl_ptr to clear up the warning.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index

2025-06-24T13:19:27+00:00

Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on its requirement. To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX, to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed. Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio attributes identified are: NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.
