wifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE

2026-09-21T17:58:00Z

__hif_usb_tx() dequeues up to MAX_TX_AGGR_NUM (20) frames into a single tx_buf of MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE (32768) bytes, limiting the batch by record count but never by cumulative byte length. With large frames (MTU 2304), 20 aggregated frames of 2292 bytes each exceed the allocation (20 * 2296 = 45920 bytes), so the memcpy() in the loop writes up to 13152 bytes past tx_buf->buf before usb_submit_urb(). Peek the queue head and stop before copying any record that would cross MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE, then dispatch the current batch. Leftover skbs remain queued and are drained on the next URB completion. The byte bound changes the loop's exit semantics: it can now exit before i == tx_skb_cnt - 1. Stock only finalized tx_buf->len on that last index (len += offset), so an early break would submit a URB holding only the last record's length while every dequeued skb is freed on completion, silently dropping frames. Make tx_buf->len a running total and advance tx_buf->offset per record instead; the stride round_up(nskb->len + 4, 4) is identical to the stock stride when the loop runs to completion. Tested on hardware with an MTU 2304 flood: the loop stops at record 15 (len = 32144, offset = 32144, within 32768), no oversized URB is submitted, and MTU 1500 pings pass 20/20.

wifi: ath9k: reject short WMI command responses

2026-09-21T17:58:00Z

ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() removes the validated WMI header and copies the number of bytes expected by the waiting command into its response buffer. A device response shorter than that expectation can therefore be read beyond the skb payload. Record -EMSGSIZE for a short response, complete the waiter, and return the stored status from the command path. This also prevents callers from consuming stale response bytes as a successful reply.

wifi: ath9k: Clean up device initialisation guards

2026-09-21T17:57:59Z

The ath9k driver has a couple of guards against the RX path running until device initialisation has completed. However, they are problematic for several reasons: - They use smp_wmb() paired with a data_race() annotation, instead of the idiomatic smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire() pair. - The guard in ath9k_wmi_event_tasklet() is weirdly late in the function. - There are two of them when there's really no reason the rx init gets to run before the whole initialisation is complete. Consolidate the guards on the single ath9k_htc_priv->initialized variable and use smp_store_release()/smp_load_acquire() to access it. Move the store into ath9k_init_device() to make sure it's set in all paths in the driver.

wifi: ath11k: reset ar->num_stations on hardware start

2026-09-21T17:57:59Z

When (multiple) hw restart occurs, we end up in a situation where we cannot accept new stations / mesh peers. This seems to be the 'num_stations' in 'struct ath11k' that did not get reset properly in this case. In ath11k_mac_op_start(), it was indeed the only accounting var that did not get reset so let's clear it too. This avoids problems like those: [1248828.088023] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 12281 at net/mac80211/util.c:1682 ieee80211_reconfig_stations+0x98/0xc0 [1248828.088115] Call trace: [1248828.088116] ieee80211_reconfig_stations+0x98/0xc0 (P) [1248828.088119] ieee80211_reconfig+0x774/0x1438 [1248828.088123] ieee80211_restart_work+0x10c/0x178 [1248828.088127] process_one_work+0x178/0x3c0 [1248828.088130] worker_thread+0x280/0x440 [1248828.088133] kthread+0xe0/0xf8 [1248828.088137] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [1248828.088141] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [1248836.686604] ath11k_pci 0000:04:00.0: refusing to associate station: too many connected already (128) [1248836.686609] ath11k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Failed to add station: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for VDEV: 1 Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-01977-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Escande Reviewed-by: Rameshkumar Sundaram Reviewed-by: Baochen Qiang Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260812-num-station-v3-1-871d20e043f6@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jeff Johnson

wifi: p54: validate firmware record lengths

2026-09-21T14:30:25Z

The p54 firmware parser accesses component ID and component version records without checking that their lengths cover the fields being read. A malformed record can therefore make the parser read past the record. Validate the component ID and component version record lengths before accessing their data. The descriptor record is also checked against the shortest descriptor length found in the supported firmware images. Reject descriptor values that underflow the RX offset or produce an empty RX range before updating the driver state.

wifi: wlcore: Fix runtime PM leak in wlcore_remove()

2026-09-21T14:00:51Z

pm_runtime_get_sync() keeps the runtime PM usage counter elevated even when it returns an error, so the reference taken at the beginning of wlcore_remove() has to be dropped on every exit path. When the device was not initialized the function returned early without doing so, leaking the reference. Release it with pm_runtime_put_noidle() as done on the other early error paths of this driver.

wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove

2026-09-21T12:37:56Z

il3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for the EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with il_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a successful probe. As a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed. Free the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the mac80211 hardware structure. This issue was found by manual code inspection.

wifi: wfx: validate MIB read length before copying to caller

2026-09-21T12:37:37Z

wfx_hif_read_mib() copies reply->length bytes from the firmware response into the caller-provided buffer without checking that reply->length does not exceed val_len. A firmware response with a length field larger than expected overruns the caller buffer and reads past the end of the reply allocation. Replace the dead -ENOMEM check with an active validation that reply->length fits within val_len before the memcpy.

wifi: cw1200: fix TX padding OOB read leaking heap data to device

2026-09-21T12:37:36Z

The TX path rounds the transfer size up to the bus alignment (align_size(), up to 511 bytes for SDIO, 1 byte for SPI) but sends the padded length straight from the frame buffer, which has no room reserved for the padding. cw1200_data_write() therefore reads past the end of the frame and the bus transfer carries those bytes to the device. A bogus device can collect up to 511 bytes of kernel heap data per TX frame. The RX path does not have this problem: it allocates the skb with the aligned length (alloc_len) before reading. Compute the exact padding with the bus align_size() callback, make sure queued TX frames have tailroom for it, and zero the padding bytes before the transfer so nothing past the frame is exposed. This is not expected to change driver behavior on most cases: frame contents and transfer sizes are unchanged, only the content of the padding bytes (previously undefined stale memory, now zero), which the device never reads since the WSM header carries the real frame length. The skb expansion can only fail under memory exhaustion, in which case the frame is dropped like on the existing error paths of cw1200_tx().
