[PATCH for v5.16] iwlwifi: mvm: don't crash on invalid rate w/o STA

flat view
STALE1769d LANDED

From: Luca Coelho <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-03 12:04:36
Subsystem: intel wireless wifi link (iwlwifi), the rest · Maintainers: Miri Korenblit, Linus Torvalds

Landed in mainline as d599f714b73e on 2021-12-08.

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

If we get to the WARN_ONCE(..., "Got a HT rate (...)", ...)
here with a NULL sta, then we crash because mvmsta is bad
and we try to dereference it. Fix that by printing -1 as the
state if no station was given.
