wifi: cfg80211: cancel pmsr_free_wk in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down

2026-03-06T11:41:59+00:00

When the nl80211 socket that originated a PMSR request is closed, cfg80211_release_pmsr() sets the request's nl_portid to zero and schedules pmsr_free_wk to process the abort asynchronously. If the interface is concurrently torn down before that work runs, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() calls cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() directly. However, the already- scheduled pmsr_free_wk work item remains pending and may run after the interface has been removed from the driver. This could cause the driver's abort_pmsr callback to operate on a torn-down interface, leading to undefined behavior and potential crashes. Cancel pmsr_free_wk synchronously in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() before calling cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort(). This ensures any pending or in-progress work is drained before interface teardown proceeds, preventing the work from invoking the driver abort callback after the interface is gone.

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

wifi: nl80211/cfg80211: support operating as RSTA in PMSR FTM request

2026-01-27T12:40:38+00:00

Add an option to operate as the RSTA in an FTM measurement request. When requested, the device will dwell on the requested channel until the peer starts the FTM negotiation. This option is only valid for trigger-based/non trigger-based measurement with LMR feedback which will allow the RSTA to receive the results of the measurement.

The FTM result includes some of the periodic measurement negotiated parameters (like the burst duration and number of bursts), but it doesn't include the burst period. Add it to the FTM result notification.

wifi: nl80211/cfg80211: clarify periodic FTM parameters for non-EDCA based ranging

2026-01-27T12:40:30+00:00

Periodic FTM request attributes are defined based on the periodic parameters used in EDCA-based ranging negotiation. However, non-EDCA based ranging (trigger-based/non-trigger-based) does not include periodic parameters in the negotiation protocol, even though upper layers may still request periodic measurements. Clarify the semantics of periodic ranging attributes when used with non-EDCA based ranging.

wifi: cfg80211: define and use wiphy guard

Define a guard for the wiphy mutex, and use it in most code in cfg80211, though not all due to some interaction with RTNL and/or indentation.

In NDP ranging, the number of NDP exchanges is not negotiated and thus is not limited by the protocol. Remove the limit on FTMs per burst for trigger based and non trigger based ranging.

wifi: cfg80211: pmsr: use correct nla_get_uX functions

2024-05-29T13:23:54+00:00

The commit 9bb7e0f24e7e ("cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM initiator API") defines four attributes NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_ {NUM_BURSTS_EXP}/{BURST_PERIOD}/{BURST_DURATION}/{FTMS_PER_BURST} in following ways. static const struct nla_policy nl80211_pmsr_ftm_req_attr_policy[NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_MAX + 1] = { ... [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_NUM_BURSTS_EXP] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 15), [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_BURST_PERIOD] = { .type = NLA_U16 }, [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_BURST_DURATION] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 15), [NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_ATTR_FTMS_PER_BURST] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U8, 31), ... }; That is, those attributes are expected to be NLA_U8 and NLA_U16 types. However, the consumers of these attributes in `pmsr_parse_ftm` blindly all use `nla_get_u32`, which is incorrect and causes functionality issues on little-endian platforms. Hence, fix them with the correct `nla_get_u8` and `nla_get_u16` functions.
