<id>177fbbcb4ed6b306c1626a277fac3fb1c495a4c7</id>
<content type='text'>
We recently added some validation that we don't try to
connect to an AP that is currently in a channel switch
process, since that might want the channel to be quiet
or we might not be able to connect in time to hear the
switching in a beacon. This was in commit c09c4f31998b
("wifi: mac80211: don't connect to an AP while it's in
a CSA process").

However, we promptly got a report that this caused new
connection failures, and it turns out that the AP that
we now cannot connect to is permanently advertising an
extended channel switch announcement, even with quiet.
The AP in question was an Asus RT-AC53, with firmware
3.0.0.4.380_10760-g21a5898.

As a first step, attempt to detect that we're dealing
with such a situation, so mac80211 can use this later.

A probe response from a transmitting AP in an Multi-BSSID setup will
contain more than one Multi-Link element. Most likely, only one of these
elements contains per-STA profiles.

The comment was referencing the wrong section of the documentation and
was also subtly wrong as it assumed the rules that apply when sending
probe requests directly to a nontransmitted AP. However, in that case
the response comes from the transmitting AP and the AP MLD ID will be
included.

cfg80211_update_known_bss will always consume the passed IEs. As such,
cfg80211_update_assoc_bss_entry also needs to always set the pointers to
NULL so that no double free can occur.

Note that hitting this would probably require being connected to a
hidden BSS which is then doing a channel switch while also switching to
be not hidden anymore at the same time.

cfg80211_bss_update is expected to consume the IEs that are passed into
it in the temporary internal BSS. This did not happen in some error
cases (which are also WARN_ON paths), so change the code to use a common
label and use that everywhere.

This is a more of a cosmetic fix. The branch will only be taken if
proberesp_ies is set, which implies that beacon_ies is not set unless we
are connected to an AP that just did a channel switch. And, in that case
we should have found the BSS in the internal storage to begin with.
