Subject: [PATCH rtw-next 1/3] wifi: rtw88: free the reserved pages of an interface on firmware recovery
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:32:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111213239.569224-2-mehmet.fide@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111213239.569224-1-mehmet.fide@gmail.com>
From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide@screeningeagle.com>
The recovery after a firmware crash resets the driver state of every
interface, and mac80211 then adds the interfaces again without removing
them first. rtw_ops_add_interface() starts with an empty reserved page
list, so the pages the interface had before the crash are lost: the
next page build takes them off the build list and nothing frees them.
kmemleak after a firmware crash with an AP interface:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000cbe22c60 (size 96):
comm "hostapd", pid 25545, jiffies 4296463067
backtrace (crc cbdc21c4):
kmemleak_alloc+0xcc/0xe4
__kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x234/0x3bc
rtw_add_rsvd_page+0x38/0xa8 [rtw88_core]
rtw_add_rsvd_page_bcn+0x30/0x58 [rtw88_core]
rtw_ops_add_interface+0x144/0x2cc [rtw88_core]
rtw_ops_change_interface+0x6c/0x80 [rtw88_core]
drv_change_interface+0x100/0x258 [mac80211]
Free the pages where the recovery resets the interface.
