[PATCH 5.14 364/849] cfg80211: always free wiphy specific regdomain

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-11-15 22:53:26
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: 802.11 (including cfg80211/nl80211), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

[ Upstream commit e53e9828a8d2c6545e01ff9711f1221f2fd199ce ]

In the (somewhat unlikely) event that we allocate a wiphy, then
add a regdomain to it, and then fail registration, we leak the
regdomain. Fix this by just always freeing it at the end, in the
normal cases we'll free (and NULL) it during wiphy_unregister().
This happened when the wiphy settings were bad, and since they
can be controlled by userspace with hwsim, syzbot was able to
find this issue.
