Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7925: add NULL checks for link_conf and mlink in main.c
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2025 22:25:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260101062514.186040-2-zbowling@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260101062514.186040-1-zbowling@gmail.com>

From: Zac Bowling <zac@zacbowling.com>

Add NULL pointer checks throughout main.c for functions that call
mt792x_vif_to_bss_conf(), mt792x_vif_to_link(), and mt792x_sta_to_link()
without verifying the return value before dereferencing.

Functions fixed:
- mt7925_set_key(): Check link_conf, mconf, and mlink before use
- mt7925_mac_link_sta_add(): Check link_conf before BSS info update
- mt7925_mac_link_sta_assoc(): Check mlink and link_conf before use
- mt7925_mac_link_sta_remove(): Check mlink and link_conf, add goto
  label for proper cleanup path
- mt7925_change_vif_links(): Check link_conf before adding BSS

These functions can receive NULL when the link configuration in mac80211
is not yet synchronized with the driver's link tracking during MLO
operations or state transitions.

Without these checks, the driver will crash with NULL pointer
dereferences during station add/remove/association operations.
