wifi: rtl8xxxu: Don't claim USB ID 07b8:8188

2025-10-12T11:01:00+00:00

commit ec0b44736b1d22b763ee94f1aee856f9e793f3fe upstream.

This ID appears to be RTL8188SU, not RTL8188CU. This is the wrong driver
for RTL8188SU. The r8712u driver from staging used to handle this ID.

wifi: rtw89: fix use-after-free in rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait()

2025-10-12T11:01:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3e31a6bc07312b448fad3b45de578471f86f0e77 ]

There is a bug observed when rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait() tries to
access already freed skb_data:

It is a consequence of a race between the waiting and the signaling side
of the completion:

            Waiting thread                            Completing thread

rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait()
  rcu_assign_pointer(skb_data->wait, wait)
  /* start waiting */
  wait_for_completion_timeout()
                                                rtw89_pci_tx_status()
                                                  rtw89_core_tx_wait_complete()
                                                    rcu_read_lock()
                                                    /* signals completion and
                                                     * proceeds further
                                                     */
                                                    complete(&wait->completion)
                                                    rcu_read_unlock()
                                                  ...
                                                  /* frees skb_data */
                                                  ieee80211_tx_status_ni()
  /* returns (exit status doesn't matter) */
  wait_for_completion_timeout()
  ...
  /* accesses the already freed skb_data */
  rcu_assign_pointer(skb_data->wait, NULL)

The completing side might proceed and free the underlying skb even before
the waiting side is fully awoken and run to execution.  Actually the race
happens regardless of wait_for_completion_timeout() exit status, e.g.
the waiting side may hit a timeout and the concurrent completing side is
still able to free the skb.

Skbs which are sent by rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait() are owned by the
driver.  They don't come from core ieee80211 stack so no need to pass them
to ieee80211_tx_status_ni() on completing side.

Introduce a work function which will act as a garbage collector for
rtw89_tx_wait_info objects and the associated skbs.  Thus no potentially
heavy locks are required on the completing side.

wifi: rtw89: mcc: stop TX during MCC prepare

[ Upstream commit 182c7ff8b87e4edbb2227ede39ae0952da7a0f4a ]

Stop TX during the MCC configuration period to prevent packet leakage.
The stop time is defined as 'start_tsf - tsf', which means the duration
from when MCC configuration begins until MCC starts.

wifi: ath11k: fix NULL dereference in ath11k_qmi_m3_load()

commit 3fd2ef2ae2b5c955584a3bee8e83ae7d7a98f782 upstream.

If ab->fw.m3_data points to data, then fw pointer remains null.
Further, if m3_mem is not allocated, then fw is dereferenced to be
passed to ath11k_err function.

Replace fw->size by m3_len.

wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: fix byte count table for some devices

2025-10-02T11:48:39+00:00

commit a38108a23ab558b834d71d542d32c05ab0fb64d4 upstream.

In my previous fix for this condition, I erroneously listed 9000
instead of 7000 family, when 7000/8000 were already using iwlmvm.
Thus the condition ended up wrong, causing the issue I had fixed
for older devices to suddenly appear on 7000/8000 family devices.
Correct the condition accordingly.

commit 586e3cb33ba6890054b95aa0ade0a165890efabd upstream.

For devices handled by iwldvm, bc_table_dword was never set, but I missed
that during the removal thereof. Change the logic to not treat the byte
count table as dwords for devices older than 9000 series to fix that.

wifi: wilc1000: avoid buffer overflow in WID string configuration

2025-09-25T09:16:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit fe9e4d0c39311d0f97b024147a0d155333f388b5 ]

Fix the following copy overflow warning identified by Smatch checker.

 drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan_cfg.c:184 wilc_wlan_parse_response_frame()
        error: '__memcpy()' 'cfg->s[i]->str' copy overflow (512 vs 65537)

This patch introduces size check before accessing the memory buffer.
The checks are base on the WID type of received data from the firmware.
For WID string configuration, the size limit is determined by individual
element size in 'struct wilc_cfg_str_vals' that is maintained in 'len' field
of 'struct wilc_cfg_str'.
