wifi: mac80211: increase scan_ies_len for S1G

2025-09-25T09:13:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e2f3213e85eba00acb4cfe6d71647892d63c3a1 ] Currently the S1G capability element is not taken into account for the scan_ies_len, which leads to a buffer length validation failure in ieee80211_prep_hw_scan() and subsequent WARN in __ieee80211_start_scan(). This prevents hw scanning from functioning. To fix ensure we accommodate for the S1G capability length.

wifi: mac80211: Set n_channels after allocating struct cfg80211_scan_request

2025-05-22T12:29:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 82bbe02b2500ef0a62053fe2eb84773fe31c5a0a ] Make sure that n_channels is set after allocating the struct cfg80211_registered_device::int_scan_req member. Seen with syzkaller: UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/mac80211/scan.c:1208:5 index 0 is out of range for type 'struct ieee80211_channel *[] __counted_by(n_channels)' (aka 'struct ieee80211_channel *[]') This was missed in the initial conversions because I failed to locate the allocation likely due to the "sizeof(void *)" not matching the "channels" array type.

mac80211: fix user-power when emulating chanctx

ieee80211_calc_hw_conf_chan was ignoring the configured user_txpower. If it is set, use it to potentially decrease txpower as requested. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241010203954.1219686-1-greearb@candelatech.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: use kmemdup_array instead of kmemdup for multiple allocation

2024-08-27T08:28:56+00:00

Let the kmemdup_array() take care about multiplication and possible overflows. Using kmemdup_array() is more appropriate and makes the code easier to audit.

wifi: mac80211: chanctx emulation set CHANGE_CHANNEL when in_reconfig

2024-07-09T09:29:09+00:00

Chanctx emulation didn't info IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL to drivers during ieee80211_restart_hw (ieee80211_emulate_add_chanctx). It caused non-chanctx drivers to not stand on the correct channel after recovery. RX then behaved abnormally. Finally, disconnection/reconnection occurred. So, set IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_CHANNEL when in_reconfig.

wifi: mac80211: remove DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP

2024-06-28T07:56:30+00:00

This flag is annoying because it puts a lot of logic into mac80211 that could just as well be in the driver (only iwlmvm uses it) and the implementation is also broken for MLO. Remove the flag in favour of calling drv_mgd_prepare_tx() without any conditions even for the deauth-while-assoc case. The drivers that implement it can take the appropriate actions, which for the only user of DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP (iwlmvm) is a bit more tricky than the implementation in mac80211 is anyway, and all others have no need and can just exit if info->was_assoc is set.

wifi: mac80211: disable softirqs for queued frame handling

2024-06-26T08:23:50+00:00

As noticed by syzbot, calling ieee80211_handle_queued_frames() (and actually handling frames there) requires softirqs to be disabled, since we call into the RX code. Fix that in the case of cleaning up frames left over during shutdown.
