Subject: [PATCH wireless] mac80211: fix crash in ieee80211_chan_bw_change for AP_VLAN stations
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 17:08:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305170812.2904208-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
ieee80211_chan_bw_change() iterates all stations and accesses
link->reserved.oper via sta->sdata->link[link_id]. For stations on
AP_VLAN interfaces (e.g. 4addr WDS clients), sta->sdata points to
the VLAN sdata, whose link never participates in chanctx reservations.
This leaves link->reserved.oper zero-initialized with chan == NULL,
causing a NULL pointer dereference in __ieee80211_sta_cap_rx_bw()
when accessing chandef->chan->band during CSA.
Resolve the VLAN sdata to its parent AP sdata using get_bss_sdata()
before accessing link data.
