brcmf_msgbuf_init_pktids() takes the DMA direction from its callers,
but never stores it in the packet ID state. Since the state is zeroed,
pktids->direction remains DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL for both the TX and RX
packet ID pools.
All msgbuf packet ID map and unmap paths use pktids->direction. As a
result, TX buffers requested with DMA_TO_DEVICE and RX buffers requested
with DMA_FROM_DEVICE are mapped and unmapped as DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
instead.
Store the caller-provided direction when initializing the packet ID
state.

Firmware messages carry flow_ring_id values which brcmfmac converts
to an internal flowid by subtracting
BRCMF_H2D_MSGRING_FLOWRING_IDSTART. The resulting value is used as
a bit index in txstatus_done_map and as an array index into
msgbuf->flowrings and the flowring state.
Validate the firmware supplied flow_ring_id before using it. This
prevents flow_ring_id values below BRCMF_H2D_MSGRING_FLOWRING_IDSTART
from underflowing and rejects values outside msgbuf->max_flowrings.
In the tx status path, complete the packet with an error after
removing a valid packet id so the skb is not leaked when the flow
ring id is invalid.

wilc_wfi_mon_xmit() reads the radiotap length before ensuring that the
fixed header is present. After stripping that header, it reads the frame
type and all three 802.11 addresses without checking how much frame data
remains.
A truncated monitor injection can therefore cause out-of-bounds reads.
Validate the radiotap header first, use the common 802.11 helper to check
the variable header length, and require a complete three-address header
before using the addresses. This covers QoS and four-address data headers
while rejecting short control headers that this path cannot classify.

mac80211 copies cfg80211's variable-length countdown offset list into a
zero-initialized fixed-size array, leaving unused entries at zero. The
beacon branch already skips those zero entries, but the AP probe-response
branch writes through them unconditionally.
When a probe-response template has no countdown offset, the write through
an unused zero entry overwrites resp->data[0], corrupting the first byte of
the template. cfg80211 already bounds explicitly supplied non-zero offsets
in nl80211_parse_counter_offsets(), so this is a zero-sentinel bug, not an
out-of-bounds write.
Skip zero probe-response offsets, matching the beacon path.

The zd1211rw driver is designed for single-function Wi-Fi dongles and
hardcodes its USB endpoints. When a malformed USB device exposes multiple
interfaces that match the driver's device ID, the driver blindly binds to
all of them.
During probe(), the driver calls usb_reset_device(), which iterates over
all interfaces and invokes the pre_reset() callback for each bound
interface. Since multiple interfaces are bound to zd1211rw, pre_reset() is
called sequentially for each instance, acquiring their respective
&mac->chip.mutex. Because all instances initialize their mutexes with the
same lock class, lockdep detects a task acquiring a lock of the same class
it already holds and flags it as a possible recursive deadlock:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
kworker/0:1/11 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff88810371dde0 (&chip->mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at:

drivers/net/wireless/zydas/zd1211rw/zd_usb.c:1505
Fix this by explicitly rejecting secondary interfaces (bInterfaceNumber !=
0) during probe(). This ensures that only a single instance of the driver
binds to the device, eliminating the recursive locking scenario.

When an AP's TWT Setup response is not acknowledged,
ieee80211_s1g_tx_twt_setup_fail() asks the driver to tear down the local
agreement and sends a TWT teardown action as the peer notification. It
uses the response SA as the destination, but
ieee80211_s1g_send_twt_setup() built that response with SA set to the
AP's address. The teardown is therefore queued with DA, SA and BSSID all
set to the AP address and never reaches the station.
The in-tree driver callbacks update local hardware state and emit no
action frame. The station receives no notification that mac80211 asked
the driver to remove the agreement and can keep following the TWT
schedule, leaving the peers' power-save state desynchronized.
Address the teardown to the response DA, the station to which the failed
response was sent. This also matches the station lookup the transmit
status path already performs on the same frame.

The remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, and probe_peer ops previously used
a u64 *cookie output parameter. Now that cfg80211 pre-assigns the
cookie value before invoking drivers, the parameter conveys a value
from caller to driver, not the other way around. Convert it to a
plain u64 input parameter across the ops struct (cfg80211.h),
rdev-ops.h wrappers, nl80211.c/mlme.c call sites, mac80211, and
all driver implementations.
The tx_control_port op is excluded: its cookie pointer is nullable
(passed as NULL when dont_wait_for_ack is set), so the nullable
pointer semantics are still required.
Internal mac80211 helpers ieee80211_start_roc_work() and
ieee80211_attach_ack_skb() still take u64 *cookie because they
assign to the pointee; their callers now pass &cookie to take the
address of the local value parameter.
wil6210's internal wil_p2p_listen() is also updated to take u64
cookie since it is called directly from the remain_on_channel

Having a single place for cookie assignment and keeping that
responsibility in the cfg80211 subsystem is a logical choice as it
handles the userspace nl80211 API. add_nan_func already does this:
cfg80211 calls cfg80211_assign_cookie() before invoking the driver.
Apply the same pattern to remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, probe_peer and
tx_control_port by pre-assigning the cookie in the nl80211 command
handlers before the rdev_* call. For tx_control_port the cookie is
only pre-assigned when the caller requests an ack (cookie pointer
non-NULL).
Drivers may still overwrite the value for now; subsequent patches will
remove per-driver cookie generation.

The old lps_ctrl_scbd logic in _update_bt_scbd() blocked WiFi LPS only
when mode == BTC_WLINK_V0_2G_STA, which created a dead-lock while
WiFi already in LPS suppressed TDD binding so mode was never set to

in LPS. Port _update_bt_ctrl_lps() from the reference implementation to
check BT profile existence (A2DP, HFP, PAN) for both radios directly,
with out_of_band and freerun guards so LPS is only blocked when WiFi and
Bluetooth actually share a band. Call it from both _update_bt_scbd() and

C2H correctly update lps_ctrl_scbd. Also remove the dead

The _update_bt_info() function always parsed BT-info for bt0 and used a
single raw_info buffer regardless of which BT device sent the packet or
which RF band it belongs to. This caused two bugs:
1. BT-info packets from bt1 were incorrectly parsed into bt0's state.
2. BT-info packets from 5/6 GHz BT (L1 bit7=1) overwrote the 2.4 GHz
link_info and raw_info, breaking duplicate detection across bands.
Fix by adding the bid parameter to select bt0/bt1, detecting the 5/6 GHz
band flag (L1 bit7) to route packets into link_info_56g with a dedicated
raw_info_56g buffer, and updating the early-return mask to ignore bit7

_update_bt_link_cnt() was missing the bt->link_weight[].
Without it, link_weight stays at the initial value of 5
(set on BT re-enable) regardless of the active BT profile.
_set_bind_info() uses link_weight to compute b2g_score/b5g_score, which
determines tdd_bind.rf_band. With a stale weight of 5 (below the active
profile threshold), tdd_bind.rf_band may not reflect the actual RF band,
causing mode_v0 in _run_coex() to remain 0 (BTC_WLINK_NOLINK), which
incorrectly triggers _action_wl_nc() instead of the BT-profile action.
Add the link_weight calculation to _update_bt_link_cnt() using the same
weighting table as Formal (BIS/A2DP-sink: 70, A2DP: 40-60, PAN/active: 30,
no-profile: 5, else: 9) and call _update_bt_link_cnt() from

When an AP interface is registered and starts AP, mac80211 calls the
configure_filter() to clear B_AX_A_UC_CAM_MATCH and B_AX_A_BC_CAM_MATCH
so that frames from un-associated stations can be received. However, for
a dedicated AP interface created via iw command, configure_filter() is
only triggered on the initial AP startup. Since the interface remains up
even after hostapd stops, and it isn't triggered again on later restarts.
Additionally, each AP start causes IPS leave, reverting the RX filter to
its default value.
For WiFi 7 chips, the default value is hardcoded in rx_fltr_init_be(),

On the reboot path the kernel only runs device_shutdown(), which calls
each driver's .shutdown callback; .remove is not invoked. The rtw89 PCI
driver had no .shutdown callback, so nothing stopped the rfkill polling
work while the platform was tearing the PCIe link down. Once the link
is gone, the next MMIO read from the poll handler targets a
non-responding device and is reported as a fatal asynchronous SError on
arm64.
Add rtw89_pci_shutdown(), wired to all rtw89 PCI device drivers, which
sets a new RTW89_FLAG_SHUTDOWN flag (mirroring the USB
RTW89_FLAG_UNPLUGGED pattern). When the flag is set,
rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll() returns early, so no MMIO read is issued to the
chip after shutdown begins and the SError no longer occurs.
This does not call the full .remove path from .shutdown, to keep the
shutdown handler minimal and avoid running the non-idempotent teardown
twice.

different chipsets") added beacon_int_min_gcd to if_comb_global and
if_comb_global_7992, but these combinations include ADHOC (IBSS)
interface type. This violates a cfg80211 rule from commit 56271da29c
("cfg80211: disallow beacon_int_min_gcd with IBSS") that explicitly
forbids combining ADHOC with beacon_int_min_gcd.
The restriction exists because beacon_int_min_gcd requires static,
predictable beacon intervals to coordinate multiple beaconing interfaces,
but ADHOC interfaces have dynamic beacon intervals that change when
joining different networks, making the GCD constraint unenforceable.
Remove beacon_int_min_gcd from the interface combinations that include
ADHOC because they are not necessary for ADHOC operation. The if_comb
combination (AP/MESH/STA only, without ADHOC) correctly retains
beacon_int_min_gcd for multi-AP coordination.

When mac80211 leaves the link unspecified, mt7996_tx() substitutes the
primary link id of the station or vif. That value is
IEEE80211_LINK_UNSPECIFIED (0xf) until the first link has been added,
and it is then used unchecked to index vif->link_conf[],
mvif->mt76.link[] and sta->link[], all of which hold
IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) entries.
Clamp the primary link id to the default link before using it, and use
the clamped value for the link_sta fallback as well.

mt76_vif_link() indexes mvif->link[] without validating link_id, but
callers pass mvif->deflink_id / msta->deflink_id, which hold
IEEE80211_LINK_UNSPECIFIED (0xf) until the first link has been added.
Since IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS is 15, that reads one element past the
end of the array, aliasing mt76_vif_data.offchannel_link.
Reachable via mt7996_set_tsf()/mt7996_offset_tsf() and
mt7996_net_fill_forward_path(). Bounds check link_id and return NULL,
matching mt7996_sta_link() and mt7996_sta_link_protected().

The PS queue filed redirected frames under the TID taken from the TXD,
while mac80211 was told about the TID taken from the QoS header, or TID 0
for anything that is not a QoS data frame. When the two disagree,
mt7603_release_buffered_frames() skips the frame because it does not
match the requested TIDs, so it stays in the PS queue until the station
wakes up. Buffered MMPDUs hit this whenever they were sent on a
non-zero TID.
Use one TID for both.

Releasing buffered frames has to turn off the PSE redirect for the
station, otherwise the released frames are looped straight back into the
driver PS queue. Nothing ever turns it back on: mt7603_sta_ps() only runs
on an observed PM bit transition, and MT_WCID_FLAG_PS keeps mt76 from
reporting the same state twice. After the first service period the
hardware therefore treats a dozing station as awake and transmits at it
directly, which is where the retry storms and the packet loss reported
against U-APSD clients come from.
Re-arm hardware buffering from mt7603_mac_work() for every station that
is still known to be asleep, once the PSD queue has drained and the
released frames have passed the redirect stage. Frames that are still
queued belong to the service period that was just served, so unlike on a
sleep transition they must not be pulled back with mt7603_filter_tx().
Track the sleep state separately from the WTBL state, so a station that
wakes up while the re-arm is pending is not put back to sleep.

mt7603_rx_loopback_skb() marks a TID as buffered when the hardware
redirects a frame into the driver PS queue, but nothing ever clears that
state again. mac80211 therefore keeps the TIM bit set for the station and
keeps routing every service period to the driver, which also prevents it
from releasing frames it has buffered itself.
Clear the buffered state for every requested TID that has no frames left
in the PS queue.

Frames released from the driver PS queue were all tagged with MORE_DATA
and none of them ever carried the EOSP bit, so from the client's point of
view a U-APSD service period was started but never finished. Clients that
keep their receiver on until EOSP arrives stop sending trigger frames,
and all downlink traffic for that station stalls until they give up.
ieee80211_sta_eosp() only cleared the service period state inside
mac80211, which is why the mismatch went unnoticed.
Assign MORE_DATA per frame and set the wire EOSP bit on the last one. If
the last released frame is a bufferable MMPDU it has no QoS control field
to carry EOSP, so let mac80211 append a QoS-Null frame instead.
Also stop handing the remaining frame budget to
mt76_release_buffered_frames() once frames have been released from the PS
queue: both would signal the end of the same service period. Releasing
fewer frames than requested is allowed, and MORE_DATA tells the client to
trigger again.

When the driver implements .release_buffered_frames, mac80211 leaves the
U-APSD signalling entirely to the driver: "In this case it is also
responsible for setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames"
(include/net/mac80211.h). Only IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP was being set,
which merely ends the service period inside mac80211, so on air the
service period was never terminated. Clients that wait for EOSP before
going back to doze keep the SP open and stop triggering, which stalls all
downlink traffic for that station.
Set the wire EOSP bit on the last frame of a U-APSD service period.
EOSP has no meaning for a PS-Poll response, so pass the release reason
down and leave those frames alone.

Add MT_DRV_HW_PS_BUFFERING flag for drivers where firmware controls
the TIM bit based on buffered frames. Instead of blocking all TX to
PS stations (which starves firmware and prevents TIM from being set),
allow limited frame delivery using AQL pending airtime as the
throttle. Replenish the firmware buffer on TX completion.
Add mt76_sta_ps_transition() helper for drivers to call from MCU
PS sync events.
