wifi: mac80211_hwsim: Limit destroy_on_close radio removal to netgroup

2025-11-24T09:29:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit c74619e7602e88a0239cd4999571dd31081e9adf ] hwsim radios marked destroy_on_close are removed when the Netlink socket that created them is closed. As the portid is not unique across network namespaces, closing a socket in one namespace may remove radios in another if it has the destroy_on_close flag set. Instead of matching the network namespace, match the netgroup of the radio to limit radio removal to those that have been created by the closing Netlink socket. The netgroup of a radio identifies the network namespace it was created in, and matching on it removes a destroy_on_close radio even if it has been moved to another namespace.

wifi: radiotap: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

2024-12-09T09:31:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 57be3d3562ca4aa62b8047bc681028cc402af8ce ] -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it, globally. So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the middle of multiple other structs, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to create a new tagged `struct ieee80211_radiotap_header_fixed`. This structure groups together all the members of the flexible `struct ieee80211_radiotap_header` except the flexible array. As a result, the array is effectively separated from the rest of the members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structure. We then change the type of the middle struct members currently causing trouble from `struct ieee80211_radiotap_header` to `struct ieee80211_radiotap_header_fixed`. We also want to ensure that in case new members need to be added to the flexible structure, they are always included within the newly created tagged struct. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct is the same after any changes. This approach avoids having to implement `struct ieee80211_radiotap_header_fixed` as a completely separate structure, thus preventing having to maintain two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door to potential bugs in the future. So, with these changes, fix the following warnings: drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/txrx.c:309:50: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/intel/ipw2x00/ipw2100.c:2521:50: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/intel/ipw2x00/ipw2200.h:1146:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/intel/ipw2x00/libipw.h:595:36: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/radiotap.h:34:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/radiotap.h:5:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/mon.c:10:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/mon.c:15:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim.c:758:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] drivers/net/wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim.c:767:42: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

wifi: virt_wifi: avoid reporting connection success with wrong SSID

2024-08-03T06:53:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit b5d14b0c6716fad7f0c94ac6e1d6f60a49f985c7 ] When user issues a connection with a different SSID than the one virt_wifi has advertised, the __cfg80211_connect_result() will trigger the warning: WARN_ON(bss_not_found). The issue is because the connection code in virt_wifi does not check the SSID from user space (it only checks the BSSID), and virt_wifi will call cfg80211_connect_result() with WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS even if the SSID is different from the one virt_wifi has advertised. Eventually cfg80211 won't be able to find the cfg80211_bss and generate the warning. Fixed it by checking the SSID (from user space) in the connection code.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: avoid calling nlmsg_free() in IRQ or IRQ disabled

2023-08-22T19:40:40+00:00

The nlmsg_free() ends up calling kfree_skb(), and kfree_skb() is not allowed to be called from hardware interrupt context or with hardware interrupts being disabled. Replace the mistaken usage of nlmsg_free() by dev_kfree_skb_irq(), which is safe in both cases.
