From: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com> When the driver callback returns that it's out of space for new stations, the mac80211 IBSS code still keeps the station so it doesn't try to add it over and over again.
Since the rate scaling algorithm is separate in mac80211, it also invokes the rate scaling algorithm for such stations. It doesn't know that our rate scaling algorithm is tightly integrated with the MVM code and relies on those data structures, and it cannot as the abstraction doesn't allow for it. This leads to crashes when the rate scaling algorithm tries to use uninitialized data, notably the mvmsta->vif pointer. Protect against this in the rate scaling algorithm. We cannot get good rates with such peers anyway since the firmware cannot do anything with them. This should fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93461 CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reported-by: Richard Taylor <rjt-ker...@thegrindstone.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumb...@intel.com> --- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c index efa9688..078f24c 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c @@ -1278,6 +1278,9 @@ static void rs_mac80211_tx_status(void *mvm_r, struct iwl_mvm *mvm = IWL_OP_MODE_GET_MVM(op_mode); struct ieee80211_tx_info *info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(skb); + if (!iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211(sta)->vif) + return; + if (!ieee80211_is_data(hdr->frame_control) || info->flags & IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK) return; @@ -2511,6 +2514,14 @@ static void rs_get_rate(void *mvm_r, struct ieee80211_sta *sta, void *mvm_sta, struct ieee80211_tx_info *info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(skb); struct iwl_lq_sta *lq_sta = mvm_sta; + if (sta && !iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211(sta)->vif) { + /* if vif isn't initialized mvm doesn't know about + * this station, so don't do anything with the it + */ + sta = NULL; + mvm_sta = NULL; + } + /* TODO: handle rate_idx_mask and rate_idx_mcs_mask */ /* Treat uninitialized rate scaling data same as non-existing. */ @@ -2827,6 +2838,9 @@ static void rs_rate_update(void *mvm_r, (struct iwl_op_mode *)mvm_r; struct iwl_mvm *mvm = IWL_OP_MODE_GET_MVM(op_mode); + if (!iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211(sta)->vif) + return; + /* Stop any ongoing aggregations as rs starts off assuming no agg */ for (tid = 0; tid < IWL_MAX_TID_COUNT; tid++) ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(sta, tid); @@ -3587,9 +3601,15 @@ static ssize_t iwl_dbgfs_ss_force_write(struct iwl_lq_sta *lq_sta, char *buf, MVM_DEBUGFS_READ_WRITE_FILE_OPS(ss_force, 32); -static void rs_add_debugfs(void *mvm, void *mvm_sta, struct dentry *dir) +static void rs_add_debugfs(void *mvm, void *priv_sta, struct dentry *dir) { - struct iwl_lq_sta *lq_sta = mvm_sta; + struct iwl_lq_sta *lq_sta = priv_sta; + struct iwl_mvm_sta *mvmsta; + + mvmsta = container_of(lq_sta, struct iwl_mvm_sta, lq_sta); + + if (!mvmsta->vif) + return; debugfs_create_file("rate_scale_table", S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR, dir, lq_sta, &rs_sta_dbgfs_scale_table_ops); -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
