Subject: [PATCH RESEND wireless 01/10] wifi: mac80211: don't allow injecting frames wider than the chanctx
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 14:28:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908122838.201719-13-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908122838.201719-12-johannes@sipsolutions.net>

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Frames injected on a monitor interface can carry a radiotap
field requesting a bandwidth, which mac80211 passes down to
the driver regardless of the the actual operational bandwidth.

If the bandwidth requested is too wide, that triggers a warning
in hwsim:

  WARN_ON(hwsim_get_chanwidth(bw) > hwsim_get_chanwidth(confbw))

Drop such frames entirely instead since they cannot be sent.

Assisted-by: LLM
Fixes: 646e76bb5daf ("mac80211: parse VHT info in injected frames")
