[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] mac80211: fix crash when using mesh (11s) VIF together with another VIF

[Matthias Schiffer]

Using a 802.11s mesh VIF together with a different VIF (e.g. IBSS) led to
a panic.

Steps to reproduce:

    rmmod mac80211_hwsim
    insmod /lib/modules/3.18.21/mac80211_hwsim.ko channels=2
    iw phy phy2 interface add ibss2 type ibss
    iw phy phy2 interface add mesh2 type mp
    iw phy phy3 interface add ibss3 type ibss
    iw phy phy3 interface add mesh3 type mp
    ip link set ibss2 up
    ip link set mesh2 up
    ip link set ibss3 up
    ip link set mesh3 up
    iw dev ibss2 ibss join foo 2412
    iw dev ibss3 ibss join foo 2412
    # Ensure that ibss2 and ibss3 are associated, otherwise leave and join
    # on ibss3 again
    iw dev mesh2 mesh join bar
    iw dev mesh3 mesh join bar

The patch has also been submitted upstream.

+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix crash on mesh local link ID generation with
+ VIFs
+
+llid_in_use needs to be limited to stations of the same VIF, otherwise it
+will cause a NULL deref as the sta_info of non-mesh-VIFs don't have
+sta->mesh set.
+
+Steps to reproduce:
+
+   modprobe mac80211_hwsim channels=2
+   iw phy phy0 interface add ibss0 type ibss
+   iw phy phy0 interface add mesh0 type mp
+   iw phy phy1 interface add ibss1 type ibss
+   iw phy phy1 interface add mesh1 type mp
+   ip link set ibss0 up
+   ip link set mesh0 up
+   ip link set ibss1 up
+   ip link set mesh1 up
+   iw dev ibss0 ibss join foo 2412
+   iw dev ibss1 ibss join foo 2412
+   # Ensure that ibss0 and ibss1 are actually associated; I often need to
+   # leave and join the cell on ibss1 a second time.
+   iw dev mesh0 mesh join bar
+   iw dev mesh1 mesh join bar # crash
