[PATCH wireless-next v3] wifi: brcmfmac: fix EXTSAE WPA3 connection failure due to AUTH TX failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ting-Ying Li <tingying.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

For WPA3-SAE Connection in EXTSAE mode, the userspace daemon is allowed to
generate the SAE Auth frames. The driver uses the "mgmt_frame" FW IOVAR to
transmit this MGMT frame.

Before sending the IOVAR, the Driver is incorrectly treating the channel
number read from the FW as a frequency value and again attempts to convert
this into a channel number using ieee80211_frequency_to_channel().

This added an invalid channel number as part of the IOVAR request to the FW
And some FW which strictly expects a valid channel would return BAD_CHAN
error, while failing to transmit the driver requested SAE Auth MGMT frame.

Fix this in the CYW vendor specific MGMT TX cfg80211 ops handler, by not
treating the channel number read from the FW as frequency value and skip
the attempt to convert it again into a channel number.

Also fix this in the generic MGMT TX cfg80211 ops handler.

Fixes: c2ff8cad6423 ("brcm80211: make mgmt_tx in brcmfmac accept a NULL channel")
Fixes: 66f909308a7c ("wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: support external SAE authentication in station mode")

v3:
  * Fixed the "warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)"
    properly now, after kernel test robot reported it again.

  * Used brcmf_fil_cmd_data_get() instead of brcmf_fil_cmd_int_get() util
    for reading the channel number from the firmware as __le32 / __le16
    type instead of s32 type.

v2:
  * Fixed wifibot "warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)"
    in cyw/core.c file.

  * Fixed >80 line length checkpatch warning by reducing variable name len
    in cfg80211.c file.

  * Handled the return value of the BRCMF_C_GET_CHANNEL IOCTL Read operation
    in cfg80211.c & cyw/core.c files.
