wifi: cfg80211: stop PMSR before P2P and NAN teardown

2026-08-02T17:06:33+00:00

PMSR request teardown must abort active measurements while the
wireless_dev is still present in the driver. cfg80211_leave_locked() and
cfg80211_stop_pd() already do this before invoking the driver's stop
callback, but cfg80211_stop_p2p_device() and cfg80211_stop_nan() do not.

Those helpers are also called directly by nl80211, rfkill shutdown, and
wireless_dev unregister paths. If one of these paths stops a P2P device
or NAN interface with a pending request, it removes the mac80211
subinterface from the driver first. Subsequent request cleanup cannot
reach the lower driver's abort callback, but cfg80211 frees the request
regardless. Driver state can then retain a stale request and use it when
it later reports a result.

Call cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() before stopping the P2P device or NAN
interface. This keeps lower-driver request state and cfg80211 request
ownership in sync for all of the helpers' callers.

wifi: nl80211: clean up color-change beacon data on errors

2026-08-02T16:23:27+00:00

nl80211_color_change() calls nl80211_parse_beacon() for the beacon_next
template, which can allocate params.beacon_next.mbssid_ies and .rnr_ies.
A parsing failure returned directly instead of using the out: cleanup,
leaking any allocations completed before the error.

Allocate the nested attribute table before parsing beacon_next. Its
allocation failure can then return before beacon data exists, while a
later parsing failure uses out: to release the parsed data.

wifi: nl80211: send frame tx status event only for non-zero cookie

2026-08-02T15:40:08+00:00

The cookie value assigned by cfg80211_assign_cookie() is guaranteed to be
non-zero. So the zero cookie value has special use in tx_control_port where
userspace can indicate dont_wait_for_ack, ie. not interested in status. The
wil6210 driver also uses the zero cookie when wil_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() is
invoked from debugfs api the driver provides so the event is also redundant
in that scenario.

wifi: cfg80211: convert tx_control_port cookie to input parameter

2026-08-02T15:40:08+00:00

The tx_control_port op was excluded from the previous commit because
a NULL cookie was affecting different behavior, ie. signalling that
no TX status is wanted.

Since cfg80211_assign_cookie() guarantees a non-zero value, cookie value
0 can be used instead. So pass 0 when dont_wait_for_ack is set, otherwise
pass value returned from cfg80211_assign_cookie() call.

wifi: cfg80211: convert cookie output to input parameter

2026-08-02T15:40:08+00:00

The remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, and probe_peer ops previously used
a u64 *cookie output parameter. Now that cfg80211 pre-assigns the
cookie value before invoking drivers, the parameter conveys a value
from caller to driver, not the other way around. Convert it to a
plain u64 input parameter across the ops struct (cfg80211.h),
rdev-ops.h wrappers, nl80211.c/mlme.c call sites, mac80211, and
all driver implementations.

The tx_control_port op is excluded: its cookie pointer is nullable
(passed as NULL when dont_wait_for_ack is set), so the nullable
pointer semantics are still required.

Internal mac80211 helpers ieee80211_start_roc_work() and
ieee80211_attach_ack_skb() still take u64 *cookie because they
assign to the pointee; their callers now pass &cookie to take the
address of the local value parameter.

wil6210's internal wil_p2p_listen() is also updated to take u64
cookie since it is called directly from the remain_on_channel
callback.

wifi: cfg80211: pre-assign cookie for driver callbacks

2026-08-02T15:40:06+00:00

Having a single place for cookie assignment and keeping that
responsibility in the cfg80211 subsystem is a logical choice as it
handles the userspace nl80211 API. add_nan_func already does this:
cfg80211 calls cfg80211_assign_cookie() before invoking the driver.
Apply the same pattern to remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, probe_peer and
tx_control_port by pre-assigning the cookie in the nl80211 command
handlers before the rdev_* call. For tx_control_port the cookie is
only pre-assigned when the caller requests an ack (cookie pointer
non-NULL).

Drivers may still overwrite the value for now; subsequent patches will
remove per-driver cookie generation.

wifi: cfg80211: publish PMSR request before starting the driver

2026-07-28T13:08:57+00:00

nl80211_pmsr_start() assigns the request cookie, calls the driver's
->start_pmsr() callback, and only then adds the request to
wdev->pmsr_list, without holding pmsr_lock for the addition.

mac80211_hwsim saves the request in its start callback and returns. Since
nl80211 uses parallel_ops, an immediate REPORT_PMSR can then run before
nl80211_pmsr_start() reaches its post-start list_add_tail(). hwsim also
dispatches reports from its virtio receive workqueue. Completion removes
the request from wdev->pmsr_list under pmsr_lock and frees it.

Thus completion can precede publication, race the unlocked list mutation,
or free the request before nl80211_pmsr_start() reads req->cookie for the
netlink reply.

Add the request to wdev->pmsr_list under pmsr_lock before calling the
driver, and use a cookie value saved before the call so the request is not
dereferenced after a successful start. On an error return the driver has
not retained or completed the request, so remove it from the list under the
lock and free it.

wifi: cfg80211: validate IEs in cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()

2026-07-28T13:07:18+00:00

The KASAN allocation trace shows that a malformed IE buffer is
stored via SIOCSIWGENIE (cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()) without any
validation. The crash trace shows that a subsequent SIOCSIWESSID
triggers a connection attempt which calls cfg80211_sme_get_conn_ies()
to process the stored IE buffer, causing:

 - An out-of-bounds read in skip_ie() which reads ies[pos+1]
   (the length byte) past the end of the 1-byte buffer.

 - An integer underflow in the memcpy size argument when offs
   returned by ieee80211_ie_split() exceeds ies_len, causing
   unsigned subtraction to wrap to SIZE_MAX and triggering a
   fortify panic.

Fix this by validating the IE buffer in cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()
before storing it.
