wifi: mac80211: don't increment crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt twice

2026-02-11T12:41:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3f3d8ff31496874a69b131866f62474eb24ed20a ] In reconfig, in case the driver asks to disconnect during the reconfig, all the keys of the interface are marked as tainted. Then ieee80211_reenable_keys will loop over all the interface keys, and for each one it will a) increment crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt b) call ieee80211_key_enable_hw_accel, which in turn will detect that this key is tainted, so it will mark it as "not in hardware", which is paired with crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt incrementation, so we get two incrementations for each tainted key. Then we get a warning in ieee80211_free_keys. To fix it, don't increment the count in ieee80211_reenable_keys for tainted keys Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Miri Korenblit Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260118092821.4ca111fddcda.Id6e554f4b1c83760aa02d5a9e4e3080edb197aa2@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

wifi: mac80211: fix key tailroom accounting leak

2025-10-20T11:57:10+00:00

For keys added by ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add(), we assume that they're already present in the hardware and set the flag KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE. However, setting this flag needs to be paired with decrementing the tailroom needed, which was missed.

wifi: mac80211: don't require cipher and keylen in gtk rekey

2025-07-22T08:43:19+00:00

ieee80211_add_gtk_rekey receives a keyconf as an argument, and the cipher and keylen are taken from there to the new allocated key. But in rekey, both the cipher and the keylen should be the same as of the old key, so let ieee80211_add_gtk_rekey find those, so drivers won't have to fill it in.

wifi: mac80211: don't mark keys for inactive links as uploaded

2025-07-15T09:00:39+00:00

During resume, the driver can call ieee80211_add_gtk_rekey for keys that are not programmed into the device, e.g. keys of inactive links. Don't mark such a key as uploaded to avoid removing it later from the driver/device.

wifi: mac80211: set key link ID to the deflink one

2025-01-13T14:34:09+00:00

When in non-MLO mode, the key ID was set to -1 even for keys that are not pairwise. Change the link ID to be the link ID of the deflink in this case so that drivers do not need to special cases for this.
