wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure

2026-03-18T08:09:58Z

ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the fragmentation check both do. Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent, and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76, mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free. Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

wifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom

2026-03-18T08:05:06Z

Since upstream commit e75665dd0968 ("wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails. However, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being full. This causes the code to flush the buffer, put the skb back at the head of the queue, and immediately retry the same skb in a tight while loop. Because wlcore_tx_work_locked() holds wl->mutex, and the retry happens immediately with GFP_ATOMIC, this will result in an infinite loop and a CPU soft lockup. Return -ENOMEM instead so the packet is dropped and the loop terminates. The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: fully initialise PMSR capabilities

2026-03-06T10:06:06Z

Since the recent additions to PMSR capabilities, it's no longer sufficient to call parse_pmsr_capa() here since the capabilities that were added aren't represented/filled by it. Always init the data to zero to avoid using uninitialized memory.
