Subject: [PATCH mt76 2/2] wifi: mt76: adjust BSS conf pointer handling
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:18:40 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027111843.38975-2-pchelkin@ispras.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027111843.38975-1-pchelkin@ispras.ru>
Passing a BSS conf pointer to mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val() currently has
two inconsistencies.
When called from mt76_connac2_mac_write_txwi(), BSS conf is got by
dereferencing a vif pointer. A NULL vif isn't accounted for though the
function itself supposes it to be NULL and tries to handle this case in
previous checks. This looks like a cosmetic change since the drivers
calling the function (namely, mt7915 and mt7921) set WANT_MONITOR_VIF flag
so judging by info->control.vif initialization inside ieee80211_tx_*()
routines it can't actually come as NULL here.
The same holds for the BSS conf pointer handling inside
mt76_connac2_mac_tx_rate_val(). It is dereferenced before being checked
for NULL. The function supposes to handle the case so reorder the check
and dereference of the pointer. Again, this looks like a syntax issue
only.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE static
analysis tool.
