This -call is however done after the structure is -attached to mac80211 internal lists and hashes. -This means mac80211 can lookup (and use) station -structure before it is uploaded to a driver. - -If this happens (structure exists, but -sta->uploaded is false) fast_tx path can still be -taken. Deep in the fastpath call the sta->uploaded -is checked against to derive "pubsta" argument for -ieee80211_get_txq(). If sta->uploaded is false -(and sta is actually non-NULL) ieee80211_get_txq() -effectively downgraded to vif->txq. - -At first glance this may look innocent but coerces -mac80211 into a state that is almost guaranteed -(codel may drop offending skb) to crash because a -station-oriented skb gets queued up on -vif-oriented txq. The ieee80211_tx_dequeue() ends -up looking at info->control.flags and tries to use -txq->sta which in the fail case is NULL. - -It's probably pointless to pretend one can -downgrade skb from sta-txq to vif-txq. - -Since downgrading unicast traffic to vif->txq must -not be done there's no txq to put a frame on if -sta->uploaded is false. Therefore the code is made -to fall back to regular tx() op path if the -described condition is hit. - -Only drivers using wake_tx_queue were affected. - -Example crash dump before fix: - - Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffe26c - PC is at ieee80211_tx_dequeue+0x204/0x690 [mac80211] - [<bf4252a4>] (ieee80211_tx_dequeue [mac80211]) from - [<bf4b1388>] (ath10k_mac_tx_push_txq+0x54/0x1c0 [ath10k_core]) - [<bf4b1388>] (ath10k_mac_tx_push_txq [ath10k_core]) from - [<bf4bdfbc>] (ath10k_htt_txrx_compl_task+0xd78/0x11d0 [ath10k_core]) - [<bf4bdfbc>] (ath10k_htt_txrx_compl_task [ath10k_core]) - [<bf51c5a4>] (ath10k_pci_napi_poll+0x54/0xe8 [ath10k_pci]) - [<bf51c5a4>] (ath10k_pci_napi_poll [ath10k_pci]) from - [<c0572e90>] (net_rx_action+0xac/0x160) - -Reported-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com> -Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> ---- - ---- a/net/mac80211/tx.c -+++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c -@@ -798,7 +798,7 @@ static __le16 ieee80211_tx_next_seq(stru - - static struct txq_info *ieee80211_get_txq(struct ieee80211_local *local, - struct ieee80211_vif *vif, -- struct ieee80211_sta *pubsta, -+ struct sta_info *sta, - struct sk_buff *skb) - { - struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *) skb->data; -@@ -812,10 +812,13 @@ static struct txq_info *ieee80211_get_tx - if (!ieee80211_is_data(hdr->frame_control)) - return NULL; - -- if (pubsta) { -+ if (sta) { - u8 tid = skb->priority & IEEE80211_QOS_CTL_TID_MASK; - -- txq = pubsta->txq[tid]; -+ if (!sta->uploaded) -+ return NULL; -+ -+ txq = sta->sta.txq[tid]; - } else if (vif) { - txq = vif->txq; - } -@@ -1503,23 +1506,17 @@ static bool ieee80211_queue_skb(struct i - struct fq *fq = &local->fq; - struct ieee80211_vif *vif; - struct txq_info *txqi; -- struct ieee80211_sta *pubsta; - - if (!local->ops->wake_tx_queue || - sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR) - return false; - -- if (sta && sta->uploaded) -- pubsta = &sta->sta; -- else -- pubsta = NULL; -- - if (sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN) - sdata = container_of(sdata->bss, - struct ieee80211_sub_if_data, u.ap); - - vif = &sdata->vif; -- txqi = ieee80211_get_txq(local, vif, pubsta, skb); -+ txqi = ieee80211_get_txq(local, vif, sta, skb); - - if (!txqi) - return false; |
