wifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom

2026-04-18T08:31:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit deb353d9bb009638b7762cae2d0b6e8fdbb41a69 ] Since upstream commit e75665dd0968 ("wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails. However, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being full. This causes the code to flush the buffer, put the skb back at the head of the queue, and immediately retry the same skb in a tight while loop. Because wlcore_tx_work_locked() holds wl->mutex, and the retry happens immediately with GFP_ATOMIC, this will result in an infinite loop and a CPU soft lockup. Return -ENOMEM instead so the packet is dropped and the loop terminates. The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

wlcore/wl12xx: Fix wl12xx get_mac error if device is in ELP

2021-07-19T07:44:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 11ef6bc846dcdce838f0b00c5f6a562c57e5d43b ] At least on wl12xx, reading the MAC after boot can fail with a warning at drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/sdio.c:78 wl12xx_sdio_raw_read. The failed call comes from wl12xx_get_mac() that wlcore_nvs_cb() calls after request_firmware_work_func(). After the error, no wireless interface is created. Reloading the wl12xx module makes the interface work. Turns out the wlan controller can be in a low-power ELP state after the boot from the bootloader or kexec, and needs to be woken up first. Let's wake the hardware and add a sleep after that similar to wl12xx_pre_boot() is already doing. Note that a similar issue could exist for wl18xx, but I have not seen it so far. And a search for wl18xx_get_mac and wl12xx_sdio_raw_read did not produce similar errors.

wlcore: Fix buffer overrun by snprintf due to incorrect buffer size

2021-05-14T07:50:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit a9a4c080deb33f44e08afe35f4ca4bb9ece89f4e ] The size of the buffer than can be written to is currently incorrect, it is always the size of the entire buffer even though the snprintf is writing as position pos into the buffer. Fix this by setting the buffer size to be the number of bytes left in the buffer, namely sizeof(buf) - pos.

wlcore: Fix command execute failure 19 for wl12xx

2021-03-07T11:34:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb88d01b67383a095e3f7caeb4cdade5a6cf0417 ] We can currently get a "command execute failure 19" error on beacon loss if the signal is weak: wlcore: Beacon loss detected. roles:0xff wlcore: Connection loss work (role_id: 0). ... wlcore: ERROR command execute failure 19 ... WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1552 at drivers/net/wireless/ti/wlcore/main.c:803 ... (wl12xx_queue_recovery_work.part.0 [wlcore]) (wl12xx_cmd_role_start_sta [wlcore]) (wl1271_op_bss_info_changed [wlcore]) (ieee80211_prep_connection [mac80211]) Error 19 is defined as CMD_STATUS_WRONG_NESTING from the wlcore firmware, and seems to mean that the firmware no longer wants to see the quirk handling for WLCORE_QUIRK_START_STA_FAILS done. This quirk got added with commit 18eab430700d ("wlcore: workaround start_sta problem in wl12xx fw"), and it seems that this already got fixed in the firmware long time ago back in 2012 as wl18xx never had this quirk in place to start with. As we no longer even support firmware that early, to me it seems that it's safe to just drop WLCORE_QUIRK_START_STA_FAILS to fix the error. Looks like earlier firmware got disabled back in 2013 with commit 0e284c074ef9 ("wl12xx: increase minimum singlerole firmware version required"). If it turns out we still need WLCORE_QUIRK_START_STA_FAILS with any firmware that the driver works with, we can simply revert this patch and add extra checks for firmware version used. With this fix wlcore reconnects properly after a beacon loss.
