wifi: cfg80211: cancel wiphy_work before freeing wiphy

2025-03-07T08:57:39Z

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.

wifi: nl80211: fix assoc link handling

2025-03-07T08:57:39Z

The refactoring of the assoc link handling in order to support multi-link reconfiguration broke the setting of the assoc link ID, and thus resulted in the wrong BSS "use_for" value being selected. Fix that for both association and ML reconfiguration.

wifi: nl80211: disable multi-link reconfiguration

2025-03-04T11:50:25Z

Both the APIs in cfg80211 and the implementation in mac80211 aren't really ready yet, we have a large number of fixes. In addition, it's not possible right now to discover support for this feature from userspace. Disable it for now, there's no rush.

wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking

2025-03-03T08:46:19Z

Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be rejected. While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory: reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases, there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons. 1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain. For instance, greek letters will also be considered upper/lower letters and for such characters isalpha() will return true as well. However, ISO-3166-1 alpha2 codes should only hold latin characters. 2) While processing a user regulatory request, between reg_process_hint_user() and regulatory_hint_user() there happens to be a call to queue_regulatory_request() which modifies letters in request->alpha2[] with toupper(). This works fine for latin symbols, less so for weird letter characters from the second part of _ctype[]. Syzbot triggers a warning in is_user_regdom_saved() by first sending over an unexpected non-latin letter that gets malformed by toupper() into a character that ends up failing isalpha() check. Prevent this by enhancing is_an_alpha2() to ensure that incoming symbols are latin letters and nothing else.

wifi: nl80211: reject cooked mode if it is set along with other flags

2025-02-11T11:39:49Z

It is possible to set both MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES and MONITOR_FLAG_ACTIVE flags simultaneously on the same monitor interface from the userspace. This causes a sub-interface to be created with no IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER bit set because the monitor interface is in the cooked state and it takes precedence over all other states. When the interface is then being deleted the kernel calls WARN_ONCE() from check_sdata_in_driver() because of missing that bit. Fix this by rejecting MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES if it is set along with other flags. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

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.

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"" * tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (95 commits) rust: device: Use as_char_ptr() to avoid explicit cast rust: device: Replace CString with CStr in property_present() devcoredump: Constify 'struct bin_attribute' devcoredump: Define 'struct bin_attribute' through macro rust: device: Add property_present() saner replacement for debugfs_rename() orangefs-debugfs: don't mess with ->d_name octeontx2: don't mess with ->d_parent or ->d_parent->d_name arm_scmi: don't mess with ->d_parent->d_name slub: don't mess with ->d_name sof-client-ipc-flood-test: don't mess with ->d_name qat: don't mess with ->d_name xhci: don't mess with ->d_iname mtu3: don't mess wiht ->d_iname greybus/camera - stop messing with ->d_iname mediatek: stop messing with ->d_iname netdevsim: don't embed file_operations into your structs b43legacy: make use of debugfs_get_aux() b43: stop embedding struct file_operations into their objects carl9170: stop embedding file_operations into their objects ...

saner replacement for debugfs_rename()

2025-01-15T12:14:37Z

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.
