6 dayswifi: mwifiex: use the subframe length when parsing A-MSDU TDLS framesZhao Li1-1/+1
mwifiex_11n_dispatch_amsdu_pkt() splits an A-MSDU with ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() and walks the resulting subframes. For each subframe it passes the subframe data pointer to mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(), but pairs it with skb->len, the length of the A-MSDU parent, instead of rx_skb->len: rx_skb = __skb_dequeue(&list); rx_hdr = (struct rx_packet_hdr *)rx_skb->data; if (ISSUPP_TDLS_ENABLED(priv->adapter->fw_cap_info) && ntohs(rx_hdr->eth803_hdr.h_proto) == ETH_P_TDLS) { mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(priv, (u8 *)rx_hdr, skb->len); } The parent is not a valid description of that buffer, and may not be valid memory at all. ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() ends with if (!reuse_skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb); and it only sets reuse_skb when the parent is linear, is not a head_frag, and is being consumed as the *last* subframe. So when the parent does not qualify for reuse it has already been freed, and the read of skb->len is a use-after-free. When it is reused, skb->len is the length of the last subframe, applied to every earlier subframe, which over-states the buffer whenever an earlier subframe is shorter. The callee cannot absorb a wrong length, because it derives its own ceiling from the value it is given. Each frame type computes ies_len = len - sizeof(struct ethhdr) - TDLS_*_FIX_LEN; and the element walk is then bounded entirely against that ceiling, for (end = pos + ies_len; pos + 1 < end; pos += 2 + pos[1]) { u8 ie_len = pos[1]; if (pos + 2 + ie_len > end) break; so a too-large len moves end past the end of the subframe and the walk reads and copies beyond it. The A-MSDU layout is chosen by the sender, which makes the difference between the last subframe and a shorter earlier one remotely selectable. Reaching this requires TDLS support in firmware and the TDLS ethertype on the subframe. The other caller, mwifiex_process_rx_packet(), is correct: it passes a pointer and a length that describe the same region of the RX buffer. Pass rx_skb->len, the length of the subframe actually being parsed.

13 dayswifi: mwifiex: fix NULL dereference when the AP has HT-cap but no HT-operDoruk Tan Ozturk1-1/+1
mwifiex_tdls_add_ht_oper() gates its follow-the-AP-bandwidth path on bss_desc->bcn_ht_cap being present, but then dereferences a different pointer, bss_desc->bcn_ht_oper: if (ISSUPP_CHANWIDTH40(priv->adapter->hw_dot_11n_dev_cap) && bss_desc->bcn_ht_cap && ISALLOWED_CHANWIDTH40(bss_desc->bcn_ht_oper->ht_param)) bcn_ht_cap and bcn_ht_oper are populated independently while parsing the associated AP's beacon in mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie(): an AP that advertises an HT Capabilities element but no HT Operation element leaves bcn_ht_cap non-NULL and bcn_ht_oper NULL. Setting up a TDLS link to a peer while associated to such an AP then dereferences the NULL bcn_ht_oper and crashes the kernel. Every other bcn_ht_oper user in the driver NULL-checks it first. Guard on the pointer that is actually dereferenced. Found by 0sec automated security-research tooling (https://0sec.ai).

13 dayswifi: mwifiex: bound uAP association event IEs to the event bufferHE WEI (ギカク)1-2/+22
mwifiex_process_uap_event() handles EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC by exposing the (re)association request IEs that the firmware copies into the event: sinfo->assoc_req_ies = &event->data[len]; len = (u8 *)sinfo->assoc_req_ies - (u8 *)&event->frame_control; sinfo->assoc_req_ies_len = le16_to_cpu(event->len) - (u16)len; event->len is supplied by the device firmware and is never validated, and the subtraction is unchecked. assoc_req_ies points into adapter->event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE], a fixed-size array embedded in the kmalloc()'d struct mwifiex_adapter. On the ap_11n_enabled path mwifiex_set_sta_ht_cap() walks these IEs with cfg80211_find_ie(), whose for_each_element() loop dereferences each element header. A firmware-reported event->len larger than the bytes actually received makes assoc_req_ies_len describe IEs that extend past event_body, so the walk reads out of the adapter slab object, a slab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie). An event->len smaller than the header instead makes the int subtraction negative, which wraps to a huge size_t when stored in assoc_req_ies_len. The same length is handed to cfg80211_new_sta(), so a more modest over-claim can also copy stale event_body bytes into the NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification. A malicious or malfunctioning mwifiex device (USB/SDIO/PCIe) can deliver such an event while the interface is in AP/uAP mode. Validate event->len before use: reject a length that underflows the header or that would place the IEs outside the event_body[] buffer the event was copied into. event->len here is struct mwifiex_assoc_event.len, a payload field internal to this event, not the transport frame length, so it is validated in this handler rather than at the generic MWIFIEX_TYPE_EVENT receive path, which only sees the event cause and the transport frame length. The bound is against event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE] rather than the actually-received length because the transports store the event differently (USB and SDIO leave the 4-byte event header in event_skb, PCIe strips it via skb_pull), whereas event_body is the single fixed buffer all of them copy the event into. This is the event-path analogue of the receive-path bounds checks added in commit 119585281617 ("wifi: mwifiex: Fix OOB and integer underflow when rx packets").

13 dayswifi: mwifiex: fix freeze for 60 seconds caused by request_firmwareGeorgi Valkov1-6/+8
Fix regression in rgpower table loading, caused by using request_firmware(): when the requested firmware does not exist, e.g. nxp/rgpower_WW.bin does not exist on OpenWRT builds for WRT3200ACM, request_firmware() falls back to firmware_fallback_sysfs(), which expects the firmware to be provided by user space using SYSFS. No such utility is provided in this configuration, so the entire system locks up for 60 seconds, until the request times out. During this time, no other log messages are observed, and the device does not respond to commands over UART. The request_firmware() call is performed in the following context: current->comm kworker/1:2 in_task 1 irqs_disabled 0 in_atomic 0 Fixed by using request_firmware_direct(). This prevents fallback to SYSFS, and avoids delay. The rgpower table is optional. The driver falls back to the device tree power table if the firmware is not present. The error code is printed for debugging and returned to the caller, which only cares for success or failure, so there are no side effects.

2026-07-06wifi: libertas: fix memory leak in helper_firmware_cb()Dawei Feng1-0/+1
helper_firmware_cb() neglects to free the single-stage firmware image after a successful async load, leading to a memory leak in the USB firmware-download path. Fix this memory leak by calling release_firmware() immediately after lbs_fw_loaded() returns. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in the current wireless tree. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have compatible Libertas USB hardware for exercising this firmware-download path, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

2026-07-06wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter()Maoyi Xie1-1/+1
lbtf_free_adapter() calls timer_delete(&priv->command_timer), which does not wait for a running command_timer_fn() callback. lbtf_free_adapter() runs on the teardown path right before ieee80211_free_hw() frees priv, both in lbtf_remove_card() and in the probe error path. command_timer is armed by mod_timer() in lbtf_cmd() whenever a firmware command is sent. command_timer_fn() dereferences priv. If a command times out as the device is removed, command_timer_fn() runs concurrently with teardown and dereferences priv after it has been freed. This is the same use-after-free that commit 03cc8f90d053 ("wifi: libertas: fix use-after-free in lbs_free_adapter()") fixed in the sibling libertas driver. The libertas_tf variant has the identical pattern and was left unchanged. Use timer_delete_sync() so any in-flight callback completes before priv is freed.

2026-07-06wifi: mwifiex: fix permanently busy scans after multiple roam iterationsRafael Beims1-1/+0
In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes like this: EVENT_SLEEP -> adapter->ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -> sleep-confirm -> SLEEP -> EVENT_AWAKE -> AWAKE. Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed. mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight, ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed, and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is never sent. A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY. After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412 the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication / association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response even after extended periods of testing using the loops described below (>12hours). On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur when the driver is outputting debugging information (debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and the issue was not reproducible running the same test. The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running. Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths that are related to powersave event handling and on the main workqueue for correct sleep confirmation. The following loop tests were performed (with debugging output enabled): 1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s between iterations. 2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s between iterations. Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

2026-07-06wifi: mwifiex: fix roaming to different channel in host_mlme modeRafael Beims1-1/+1
When host MLME is enabled, mwifiex_cfg80211_authenticate() transmits the authentication frame on a remain-on-channel (ROC) reservation so that the frame is sent on the target BSS's channel. The ROC is only configured when priv->auth_flag is zero. priv->auth_flag is set to HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING when the auth frame is queued and advances to HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE once authentication completes. It is only cleared back to zero on a disconnect, deauth or timeout path; nothing clears it when an association succeeds. It therefore stays at HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE for the whole connected session. When the station later roams to a BSS on a different channel, the next authentication finds auth_flag != 0, skips the ROC setup, and the auth frame is transmitted on the currently-associated channel instead of the target's channel. Authentication times out on the new AP and the device stays connected to the original AP. Gate the ROC setup on HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING instead of on auth_flag being completely clear. This re-arms the remain-on-channel for every new authentication attempt, while still suppressing a redundant ROC during the multi-frame SAE exchange, where auth_flag stays PENDING between the commit and confirm frames. This change was tested in 3 different devices: Verdin AM62 (IW412 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p142) Verdin iMX8MM (W8997 SD-SD) - (16.68.1.p197) Verdin iMX8MP (W8997 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p137) There following loop tests were performed: 1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s between iterations. 2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s between iterations. Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

Introduce the extended feature NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_ROC_ADDR_FILTER as a capability gate so that cfg80211 rejects the request if the driver does not advertise support for address filtering. Extract the address from the NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute when provided in the netlink message and update the tracing infrastructure to include the address in remain_on_channel trace events.

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().

Currently key installation is only supported for netdev. For NAN, support most key operations (except setting default data key) on wdevs instead of netdevs, and adjust all the APIs and tracing to match. Since nothing currently sets NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SECURE_NAN, this doesn't change anything (P2P Device already isn't allowed.)

Currently, a station can only be added to a netdev interface, mainly because there was no need for a station of a non-netdev interface. But for NAN, we will have stations that belong to the NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface. Prepare for adding/changing/deleting a station that belongs to a non-netdev interface. This doesn't actually allow such stations - this will be done in a different patch.

2026-03-02wifi: mwifiex: fix use-after-free in mwifiex_adapter_cleanup()Daniel Hodges1-1/+1
The mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() function uses timer_delete() (non-synchronous) for the wakeup_timer before the adapter structure is freed. This is incorrect because timer_delete() does not wait for any running timer callback to complete. If the wakeup_timer callback (wakeup_timer_fn) is executing when mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() is called, the callback will continue to access adapter fields (adapter->hw_status, adapter->if_ops.card_reset, etc.) which may be freed by mwifiex_free_adapter() called later in the mwifiex_remove_card() path. Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback has completed before returning.

2026-03-02wifi: mwifiex: Fix memory leak in mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt()Zilin Guan1-0/+1
In mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt(), skb_aggr is allocated via mwifiex_alloc_dma_align_buf(). If mwifiex_is_ralist_valid() returns false, the function currently returns -1 immediately without freeing the previously allocated skb_aggr, causing a memory leak. Since skb_aggr has not yet been queued via skb_queue_tail(), no other references to this memory exist. Therefore, it has to be freed locally before returning the error. Fix this by calling mwifiex_write_data_complete() to free skb_aggr before returning the error status. Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool and code review.

2026-02-23wifi: libertas: fix use-after-free in lbs_free_adapter()Daniel Hodges1-2/+2
The lbs_free_adapter() function uses timer_delete() (non-synchronous) for both command_timer and tx_lockup_timer before the structure is freed. This is incorrect because timer_delete() does not wait for any running timer callback to complete. If a timer callback is executing when lbs_free_adapter() is called, the callback will access freed memory since lbs_cfg_free() frees the containing structure immediately after lbs_free_adapter() returns. Both timer callbacks (lbs_cmd_timeout_handler and lbs_tx_lockup_handler) access priv->driver_lock, priv->cur_cmd, priv->dev, and other fields, which would all be use-after-free violations. Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback has completed before returning. This bug was introduced in commit 8f641d93c38a ("libertas: detect TX lockups and reset hardware") where del_timer() was used instead of del_timer_sync() in the cleanup path. The command_timer has had the same issue since the driver was first written.

2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds1-2/+1
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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 <kees@kernel.org>

If a second call occurs while the URB is still active (e.g. during rapid firmware loading), usb_submit_urb() detects the active state and triggers a warning: 'URB submitted while active'. Fix this by enforcing serialization: call usb_kill_urb() before submitting the new request. This ensures the URB is idle and safe to reuse.

2025-11-11wifi: mwl8k: inject DSSS Parameter Set element into beacons if missingPawel Dembicki1-5/+66
Some Marvell AP firmware used with mwl8k misbehaves when beacon frames do not contain a WLAN_EID_DS_PARAMS element with the current channel. It was reported on OpenWrt Github issues [0]. When hostapd/mac80211 omits DSSS Parameter Set from the beacon (which is valid on some bands), the firmware stops transmitting sane frames and RX status starts reporting bogus channel information. This makes AP mode unusable. Newer Marvell drivers (mwlwifi [1]) hard-code DSSS Parameter Set into AP beacons for all chips, which suggests this is a firmware requirement rather than a mwl8k-specific quirk. Mirror that behaviour in mwl8k: when setting the beacon, check if WLAN_EID_DS_PARAMS is present, and if not, extend the beacon and inject a DSSS Parameter Set element, using the current channel from hw->conf.chandef.chan. Tested on Linksys EA4500 (88W8366).
