wifi: mac80211: check tdls flag in ieee80211_tdls_oper

2026-03-13T13:51:38+00:00

When NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK is called, the code only checks if the station exists but not whether it is actually a TDLS station. This allows the operation to proceed for non-TDLS stations, causing unintended side effects like modifying channel context and HT protection before failing. Add a check for sta->sta.tdls early in the ENABLE_LINK case, before any side effects occur, to ensure the operation is only allowed for actual TDLS peers.

wifi: move action code from per-type frame structs

2026-03-06T09:36:26+00:00

The action code actually serves to identify the type of action frame, so it really isn't part of the per-type structure. Pull it out and have it in the general action frame format. In theory, whether or not the action code is present in this way is up to each category, but all categories that are defined right now all have that value. While at it, and since this change requires changing all users, remove the 'u' and make it an anonymous union in this case, so that all code using this changes. Change IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE to take an argument which says how much of the frame is needed, e.g. category, action_code or the specific frame type that's defined in the union. Again this also ensures that all code is updated. In some cases, fix bugs where the SKB length was checked after having accessed beyond the checked length, in particular in FTM code, e.g. ieee80211_is_ftm().

wifi: mac80211: pass frame type to element parsing

2025-11-10T09:39:02+00:00

This will be needed for UHR operation parsing, and we already pass whether or not the frame is an action frame, replace that by the full type. Note this fixes a few cases where 'false' was erroneously passed (mesh and TDLS) and removes ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc() as it's unused.

wifi: mac80211: reject TDLS operations when station is not associated

2025-07-18T12:11:27+00:00

syzbot triggered a WARN in ieee80211_tdls_oper() by sending NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK immediately after NL80211_CMD_CONNECT, before association completed and without prior TDLS setup. This left internal state like sdata->u.mgd.tdls_peer uninitialized, leading to a WARN_ON() in code paths that assumed it was valid. Reject the operation early if not in station mode or not associated.

We still have ieee80211_chandef_rate_flags() and all that, but all the users seem pretty much broken (deflink, etc.) Remove all the code. It's been two years since last anyone even vaguely entertained the notion of looking at this and fixing it.

wifi: mac80211: call rate_control_rate_update() for link STA

2024-10-23T14:43:27+00:00

In order to update the right link information, call the update rate_control_rate_update() with the right link_sta, and then pass that through to the driver's sta_rc_update() method. The software rate control still doesn't support it, but that'll be skipped by not having a rate control ref. Since it now operates on a link sta, rename the driver method.

wifi: mac80211: remove TDLS peers only on affected link

2024-03-04T13:34:03+00:00

If a link does CSA, or if it changes SMPS mode, we need to drop the TDLS peers, but we really should drop them only on the affected link. Fix that.
