From: Lorenzo Bianconi Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:08:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix wiphy supported_band access Fix wiphy supported_band access in tx radiotap parsing. In particular, info->band is always set to 0 (IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ) since it has not assigned yet. This cause a kernel crash on 5GHz only devices. Move ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap() after info->band assignment Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi --- --- a/net/mac80211/tx.c +++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c @@ -1890,10 +1890,6 @@ netdev_tx_t ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit info->flags = IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS | IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED; - /* process and remove the injection radiotap header */ - if (!ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap(local, skb)) - goto fail; - rcu_read_lock(); /* @@ -1955,6 +1951,10 @@ netdev_tx_t ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit goto fail_rcu; info->band = chandef->chan->band; + /* process and remove the injection radiotap header */ + if (!ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap(local, skb)) + goto fail_rcu; + ieee80211_xmit(sdata, NULL, skb); rcu_read_unlock();
