wifi: cfg80211: Add missing lock in cfg80211_check_and_end_cac()

2025-12-01T10:41:52+00:00

commit 2c5dee15239f3f3e31aa5c8808f18996c039e2c1 upstream. Callers of wdev_chandef() must hold the wiphy mutex. But the worker cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk() never takes the lock. Which triggers the warning below with the mesh_peer_connected_dfs test from hostapd and not (yet) released mac80211 code changes: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 495 at net/wireless/chan.c:1552 wdev_chandef+0x60/0x165 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 495 Comm: kworker/u4:2 Not tainted 6.14.0-rc5-wt-g03960e6f9d47 #33 13c287eeabfe1efea01c0bcc863723ab082e17cf Workqueue: cfg80211 cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk Stack: 00000000 00000001 ffffff00 6093267c 00000000 6002ec30 6d577c50 60037608 00000000 67e8d108 6063717b 00000000 Call Trace: [<6002ec30>] ? _printk+0x0/0x98 [<6003c2b3>] show_stack+0x10e/0x11a [<6002ec30>] ? _printk+0x0/0x98 [<60037608>] dump_stack_lvl+0x71/0xb8 [<6063717b>] ? wdev_chandef+0x60/0x165 [<6003766d>] dump_stack+0x1e/0x20 [<6005d1b7>] __warn+0x101/0x20f [<6005d3a8>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0xe3/0x15d [<600b0c5c>] ? mark_lock.part.0+0x0/0x4ec [<60751191>] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x0/0x16 [<600b11a2>] ? mark_held_locks+0x5a/0x6e [<6005d2c5>] ? warn_slowpath_fmt+0x0/0x15d [<60052e53>] ? unblock_signals+0x3a/0xe7 [<60052f2d>] ? um_set_signals+0x2d/0x43 [<60751191>] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x0/0x16 [<607508b2>] ? lock_is_held_type+0x207/0x21f [<6063717b>] wdev_chandef+0x60/0x165 [<605f89b4>] regulatory_propagate_dfs_state+0x247/0x43f [<60052f00>] ? um_set_signals+0x0/0x43 [<605e6bfd>] cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk+0x3a/0x4a [<6007e460>] process_scheduled_works+0x3bc/0x60e [<6007d0ec>] ? move_linked_works+0x4d/0x81 [<6007d120>] ? assign_work+0x0/0xaa [<6007f81f>] worker_thread+0x220/0x2dc [<600786ef>] ? set_pf_worker+0x0/0x57 [<60087c96>] ? to_kthread+0x0/0x43 [<6008ab3c>] kthread+0x2d3/0x2e2 [<6007f5ff>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x2dc [<6006c05b>] ? calculate_sigpending+0x0/0x56 [<6003b37d>] new_thread_handler+0x4a/0x64 irq event stamp: 614611 hardirqs last enabled at (614621): [<00000000600bc96b>] __up_console_sem+0x82/0xaf hardirqs last disabled at (614630): [<00000000600bc92c>] __up_console_sem+0x43/0xaf softirqs last enabled at (614268): [<00000000606c55c6>] __ieee80211_wake_queue+0x933/0x985 softirqs last disabled at (614266): [<00000000606c52d6>] __ieee80211_wake_queue+0x643/0x985 Fixes: 26ec17a1dc5e ("cfg80211: Fix radar event during another phy CAC") Signed-off-by: Alexander Wetzel Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250717162547.94582-1-Alexander@wetzel-home.de Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg [ The author recommends that when porting to older kernels, we should use wiphy_lock() and wiphy_unlock() instead of guard(). ] Signed-off-by: Alva Lan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking

2025-03-13T11:58:26+00:00

commit 59b348be7597c4a9903cb003c69e37df20c04a30 upstream. Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be rejected. While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory: reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases, there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons. 1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain. For instance, greek letters will also be considered upper/lower letters and for such characters isalpha() will return true as well. However, ISO-3166-1 alpha2 codes should only hold latin characters. 2) While processing a user regulatory request, between reg_process_hint_user() and regulatory_hint_user() there happens to be a call to queue_regulatory_request() which modifies letters in request->alpha2[] with toupper(). This works fine for latin symbols, less so for weird letter characters from the second part of _ctype[]. Syzbot triggers a warning in is_user_regdom_saved() by first sending over an unexpected non-latin letter that gets malformed by toupper() into a character that ends up failing isalpha() check. Prevent this by enhancing is_an_alpha2() to ensure that incoming symbols are latin letters and nothing else.

wifi: cfg80211: fix regulatory disconnect with OCB/NAN

2023-06-19T10:05:29+00:00

Since regulatory disconnect was added, OCB and NAN interface types were added, which made it completely unusable for any driver that allowed OCB/NAN. Add OCB/NAN (though NAN doesn't do anything, we don't have any info) and also remove all the logic that opts out, so it won't be broken again if/when new interface types are added.

wifi: cfg80211: fix regulatory disconnect for non-MLO

2023-06-19T10:05:29+00:00

The multi-link loop here broke disconnect when multi-link operation (MLO) isn't active for a given interface, since in that case valid_links is 0 (indicating no links, i.e. no MLO.) Fix this by taking that into account properly and skipping the link only if there are valid_links in the first place.

The locking was changed recently so now the caller holds the wiphy_lock() lock. Taking the lock inside the reg_wdev_chan_valid() function will lead to a deadlock.

wifi: cfg80211: call reg_notifier for self managed wiphy from driver hint

2023-02-14T11:37:39+00:00

Currently the regulatory driver does not call the regulatory callback reg_notifier for self managed wiphys. Sometimes driver needs cfg80211 to calculate the info of ieee80211_channel such as flags and power, and driver needs to get the info of ieee80211_channel after hint of driver, but driver does not know when calculation of the info of ieee80211_channel become finished, so add notify to driver in reg_process_self_managed_hint() from cfg80211 is a good way, then driver could get the correct info in callback of reg_notifier.
