[PATCH wireless 0/2] Fix ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() for 802.11 encaps offloading

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

 



The fix in [0] introduces issue with mt7921 chips (at least), due to the
802.11 encapsulation offloading support of those chips.
ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() treated 802.3 frames as if they were 802.11
ones causing the skb's control block hw_key to be invalid.

The first patch fixes the root cause of this issue and the second one
reapplies the initial use after free fix that has been temporarly
reverted meanwhile.
