wifi: Add SPDX ids to some files in the wireless subsystem

2026-03-06T09:54:23+00:00

Add SPDX-License-Identifier lines to some files where they are missing in the net/wireless directory. Remove licensing text from individual files headers (where present) to canonicalize the library references. Use (mostly) either GPL-2.0 or ISC, depending on the license wording (or not) in the files. radiotap.c does not mention which BSD variant it intends for the license. My selection of 'OR BSD-2-Clause' for radiotap.c was based on research into this code's history and its licensing elsewhere. In OpenBSD, radiotap code (which likely either derived from this code, or this code was derived from) has the BSD-2-Clause license. Very similar code in the radiotap library user space tool, by the same authors Andy Green and Johannes Berg, has an ISC license. Also the ISC license is used by Johannes for other contributions in the Linux wireless system. Since the radiotap.c license text here mentions BSD, but not a specific version, I chose the closest BSD variant to ISC, which is BSD-2-Clause.

wifi: radiotap: reject radiotap with unknown bits

2026-02-23T08:23:44+00:00

The radiotap parser is currently only used with the radiotap namespace (not with vendor namespaces), but if the undefined field 18 is used, the alignment/size is unknown as well. In this case, iterator->_next_ns_data isn't initialized (it's only set for skipping vendor namespaces), and syzbot points out that we later compare against this uninitialized value. Fix this by moving the rejection of unknown radiotap fields down to after the in-namespace lookup, so it will really use iterator->_next_ns_data only for vendor namespaces, even in case undefined fields are present.

Merge net-next/main to resolve conflicts

2024-10-09T06:59:22+00:00

The wireless-next tree was based on something older, and there are now conflicts between -rc2 and work here. Merge net-next, which has enough of -rc2 for the conflicts to happen, resolving them in the process. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

mac80211: Use flex-array for radiotap header bitmap

2021-08-13T07:58:25+00:00

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. The it_present member of struct ieee80211_radiotap_header is treated as a flexible array (multiple u32s can be conditionally present). In order for memcpy() to reason (or really, not reason) about the size of operations against this struct, use of bytes beyond it_present need to be treated as part of the flexible array. Add a trailing flexible array and initialize its initial index via pointer arithmetic. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "David S.

mac80211: radiotap: Use BIT() instead of shifts

2021-08-13T07:58:25+00:00

IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_EXT has a value of 31, which means if shift was ever cast to 64-bit, the result would become sign-extended. As a matter of robustness, just replace all the open-coded shifts with BIT().
