ieee80211_process_rx_twt_action() only partially validates a received
S1G TWT setup frame before queueing it.
An individual agreement can therefore reach ieee80211_s1g_rx_twt_setup()
with twt->length too short for the full struct ieee80211_twt_params.
The individual path passes twt to drv_add_twt_setup(). Both the tracepoint
and the driver callback consume the complete parameters block, not merely
req_type. Do not pass a short individual agreement to the driver.
Broadcast agreements remain unchanged because they are rejected locally
after accessing only req_type.

ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() hands tid_tx to kfree_rcu() through
ieee80211_remove_tid_tx(), and then reads tid_tx->ndp after dropping
sta->lock:
ieee80211_remove_tid_tx(sta, tid); /* kfree_rcu(tid_tx, rcu_head) */
...
spin_unlock_bh(&sta->lock);
if (start_txq)
ieee80211_agg_start_txq(sta, tid, false);
if (send_delba)
ieee80211_send_delba(..., tid_tx->ndp);
That read is not covered by an RCU read-side critical section, and it runs
in preemptible process context: both callers hold the wiphy mutex, reaching
it either from the ieee80211_ba_session_work() wiphy work or from
ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() during station teardown.
Softirqs can run in that window too, both from the local_bh_enable() that
ends ieee80211_agg_start_txq() and from any interrupt exit, so the RCU
callback can free tid_tx before the read.
Driving the function from a test module with the grace period forced into
that window, KASAN reports the read, and the free arrives on the ordinary
RCU softirq path:

Read ndp into a local before the session is freed, while sta->lock is still

ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start(), which cannot run concurrently here:
both paths are serialised by the wiphy mutex, and the session is already

When an AP buffers frames for a station on its per-station TXQs and the
station subsequently enters power save, sta_ps_start() records the
buffered TIDs in txq_buffered_tids but does not update the TIM. The
station's TIM bit is only ever set when a further frame is buffered
while the station is already asleep
(ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() -> sta_info_recalc_tim()).
If no further downlink frame arrives for that station the beacon
TIM never advertises the buffered traffic. A station relying on the
TIM then remains in doze indefinitely on top of a non-empty queue. Its
TXQs were removed from the scheduler's active list at PS entry, nothing
pages it, and the flow deadlocks until an unrelated event wakes the
station.
Recalculate the TIM at the end of sta_ps_start(), so traffic
already buffered at PS entry is advertised immediately.
sta_info_recalc_tim() already consults txq_buffered_tids, which is
updated above, and is safe in this context (it is already called
from equivalent paths such as the tx handlers and
ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame()).

When ieee80211_vif_update_links() adds new links it allocates a link
container for each and calls ieee80211_link_init() (which registers the
per-link debugfs files with file->private_data pointing into the container)
and ieee80211_link_setup(). If the subsequent drv_change_vif_links() fails,
the error path restores the old pointers and jumps to 'free', which frees
the new containers but never removes their debugfs entries or stops the
links. The debugfs files survive with file->private_data dangling at the
freed container, so a later open()+read() (e.g. link-1/txpower)
dereferences freed memory in ieee80211_if_read_link(), a use-after-free.
The removal path already dismantles links correctly via
ieee80211_tear_down_links(), which removes each link's keys and debugfs
entries and calls ieee80211_link_stop(); the add path on the error branch
does not. Commit be1ba9ed22 ("wifi: mac80211: avoid weird state in error
path") hardened this same error path for the link-removal case
(new_links == 0) but left the newly-added links' teardown unaddressed.
drv_change_vif_links() can fail at runtime on MLO drivers (internal
allocation / queue / firmware command failures).
Remove the new links' debugfs entries and stop them before freeing.

While leaving an IBSS in ieee80211_ibss_disconnect() mac80211 flushes
stations, turns the carrier off and immediately tells the driver to
leave as well. While there may be synchronize_net() in station flush
and in this code later, packets can still be transmitted due to
cross-CPU race conditions after carrier off is set.
Therefore, it's possible for a race to happen where a TX to the
driver occurs while or after telling it to leave the IBSS. This can
be confusing to drivers, and in the case of iwlwifi leads to an
attempt to use invalid queues.
Move netif_carrier_off() to occur before sta_info_flush() during
IBSS disconnect, and add synchronize_net() if flushing didn't,
so that the synchronize_net() always happens between turning the
carrier off and telling the driver, avoiding this race.

When IBSS peer capabilities change, rates_updated is set to true in

For peers with HT/VHT, this leaves rx_nss at 0 instead of the
correct value, causing drivers to use incorrect rate scaling
parameters.
The root cause is that the commit below moved NSS initialisation
out of rate_control_rate_init() into explicit call sites, but
missing the rates_updated path in ieee80211_update_sta_info().
Fix this by calling ieee80211_sta_init_nss_bw_capa() before

The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are

ieee80211_do_stop() removes AP_VLAN packets from the parent AP
ps->bc_buf while holding ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs disabled. It then
calls ieee80211_free_txskb() before dropping the lock.
ieee80211_free_txskb() is not just a passive SKB release. For SKBs with
TX status state it can report a dropped frame through cfg80211/nl80211,
and that path can reach netlink tap transmit. This is the same reason
the pending queue cleanup in ieee80211_do_stop() already unlinks SKBs
under the queue lock and frees them after IRQ state is restored.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:
AP_VLAN management TX: AP_VLAN stop:
1. attach ACK-status state 1. clear the running state
2. queue a multicast SKB on 2. take ps->bc_buf.lock with IRQs
parent ps->bc_buf disabled
3. unlink the AP_VLAN SKB
4. call ieee80211_free_txskb()
Unlink matching AP_VLAN SKBs from ps->bc_buf under the existing lock,
but move them to a local free queue. Drop the lock and restore IRQ state
before calling ieee80211_free_txskb().

sta_remove_link() frees a removed MLO link's RX stats percpu buffer right
away, but defers only the link container to RCU:
sta_info_free_link(&alloc->info);
kfree_rcu(alloc, rcu_head);
The RX fast path reads link_sta under rcu_read_lock and writes the percpu
stats. A reader that resolved link_sta before the removal keeps the
pointer. The container stays alive from the kfree_rcu, so the read still
works. But the percpu block it points to is already freed. This needs
uses_rss. That is when pcpu_rx_stats exists.
The full STA teardown frees the deflink stats only after
synchronize_net(). The link removal path had no such barrier. The race is
hard to win in practice, but the free should still wait for RCU.
Free the link together with its data from a single RCU callback, so the
percpu block is reclaimed only after readers drain.

Commit d594cc6f2c ("wifi: mac80211: restore non-chanctx injection
behaviour") restored the monitor injection fallback for drivers using
chanctx emulation but explicitly deferred drivers that transitioned
to real chanctx ops. mt76 falls in that category and still drops
every injected frame when monitor coexists with another interface.
When the monitor has no chanctx of its own, fall back to the only
chanctx in flight if there is exactly one. Refuse if multiple are
present: picking arbitrarily would inject on an unrelated channel.
Emulated and real chanctx drivers both flow through this fallback,
since emulation always presents zero or one chanctx in
local->chanctx_list.
Reran the airgeddon evil-twin flow (hostapd AP + coexisting monitor
VIF on the same phy + aireplay-ng deauth from the monitor) on
mt7921e PCIe and mt7921u USB across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and on a
Kali VM with MT7921U passthrough as the closest match to the
original reporter's setup. None reproduced the hang seen against
the earlier attempt at this fix
(<20251216111909.25076-2-johannes@sipsolutions.net>) or against v1
on lore in March.
