wifi: cfg80211: init wiphy_work before allocating rfkill fails

2025-04-10T12:44:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit fc88dee89d7b63eeb17699393eb659aadf9d9b7c ]

syzbort reported a uninitialize wiphy_work_lock in cfg80211_dev_free. [1]

After rfkill allocation fails, the wiphy release process will be performed,
which will cause cfg80211_dev_free to access the uninitialized wiphy_work
related data.

Move the initialization of wiphy_work to before rfkill initialization to
avoid this issue.

wifi: cfg80211: cancel wiphy_work before freeing wiphy

2025-03-07T08:57:39+00:00

A wiphy_work can be queued from the moment the wiphy is allocated and
initialized (i.e. wiphy_new_nm). When a wiphy_work is queued, the
rdev::wiphy_work is getting queued.

If wiphy_free is called before the rdev::wiphy_work had a chance to run,
the wiphy memory will be freed, and then when it eventally gets to run
it'll use invalid memory.

Fix this by canceling the work before freeing the wiphy.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2025-01-28T20:25:12+00:00

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

saner replacement for debugfs_rename()

2025-01-15T12:14:37+00:00

Existing primitive has several problems:
	1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference
that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...);
in both cases no refcount changes happen.  Inconvenient for users and
bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on
failure.
	2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have
ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely
to happen in the future.  What's more, any such caller would have fun
issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal.  It also makes
the calling conventions clumsier...
	3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way
to deal with that.
	4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few
callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable
boilerplate.

Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...).  All callers
convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally.

IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for
cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way
to handle that.

wifi: cfg80211: clear wdev->cqm_config pointer on free

2024-10-25T15:53:40+00:00

When we free wdev->cqm_config when unregistering, we also
need to clear out the pointer since the same wdev/netdev
may get re-registered in another network namespace, then
destroyed later, running this code again, which results in
a double-free.

wifi: cfg80211: add option for vif allowed radios

2024-10-23T14:44:10+00:00

This allows users to prevent a vif from affecting radios other than the
configured ones. This can be useful in cases where e.g. an AP is running
on one radio, and triggering a scan on another radio should not disturb it.

Changing the allowed radios list for a vif is supported, but only while
it is down.

While it is possible to achieve the same by always explicitly specifying
a frequency list for scan requests and ensuring that the wrong channel/band
is never accidentally set on an unrelated interface, this change makes
multi-radio wiphy setups a lot easier to deal with for CLI users.

By itself, this patch only enforces the radio mask for scanning requests
and remain-on-channel. Follow-up changes build on this to limit configured
frequencies.

wifi: cfg80211: check radio iface combination for multi radio per wiphy

2024-10-08T19:52:11+00:00

Currently, wiphy_verify_combinations() fails for the multi-radio per wiphy
due to the condition check on new global interface combination that DFS
only works on one channel. In a multi-radio scenario, new global interface
combination encompasses the capabilities of all radio combinations, so it
supports more than one channel with DFS. For multi-radio per wiphy,
interface combination verification needs to be performed for radio specific
interface combinations. This is necessary as the new global interface
combination combines the capabilities of all radio combinations.
