Subject: [PATCH mt76-next 23/29] wifi: mt76: mt7615: fix NULL deref in mt7615_mac_set_rates
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:48:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724124813.3961474-23-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724124813.3961474-1-nbd@nbd.name>

mt7615_tx() falls back to the vif BSS wcid when mac80211 hands a frame
over without a station, e.g. while a station is being torn down, and to
the global wcid when there is no vif either. Both tx_prepare_skb
implementations derive a mt7615_sta from that wcid unconditionally and,
if the rate control probe flag is set, pass it to mt7615_mac_set_rates(),
which dereferences the NULL vif backpointer of the per-vif embedded sta:

  Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual
  address 0000000000000002
  ...
  pc : mt7615_mac_set_rates
  lr : mt7615_tx_prepare_skb

Neither entry is rate controlled by mac80211: the embedded sta has an
empty rate set, and for the global wcid the container_of does not yield a
valid mt7615_sta at all. Only resolve the sta for wcids that belong to a
station.
