Subject: [PATCH ath-current] wifi: ath12k: fix peer_id usage in normal RX path
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:51:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427-ath12k-fix-peer-id-source-v1-1-b5f701fb8e88@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)

ath12k_dp_rx_deliver_msdu() currently uses hal_rx_desc_data::peer_id
parsed from mpdu_start descriptor to do peer lookup. However In an A-MSDU
aggregation scenario, hardware only populates mpdu_start descriptor for
the first sub-msdu, but not the following ones. In that case peer_id could
be invalid, leading to peer lookup failure:

ath12k_wifi7_pci 0000:06:00.0: rx skb 00000000c391c041 len 1532 peer (null) 0 ucast sn 0 eht320 rate_idx 12 vht_nss 2 freq 6105 band 3 flag 0x40d1a fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0

As a result pubsta is NULL and parts of ieee80211_rx_status structure are
left uninitialized, which may cause unexpected behavior.

Fix it by switching the normal RX path to use ath12k_skb_rxcb::peer_id
which is parsed from REO ring's rx_mpdu_desc and is always valid.

hal_rx_desc_data::peer_id is still used in
ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_frag_h_mpdu(), which is safe since A-MSDU
aggregation does not occur for fragmented frames. Similarly,
ath12k_skb_rxcb::peer_id may be overwritten by hal_rx_desc_data::peer_id
in ath12k_wifi7_dp_rx_h_mpdu(), which only handles non-aggregated
multicast/broadcast traffic.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
