If firmware reported channel we didn't predict this would result in using that initial index value and writing out of array. This never happened so far (we got a complete list of supported channels) but it means possible memory corruption so we should handle it anyway. This patch simply detects unexpected channel and ignores it. As we don't try to create new entry now, it's also safe to drop hw_value and center_freq assignment. For known channels we have these set anyway. I decided to fix this issue by assigning NULL or a target channel to the channel variable. This was one of possible ways, I prefefred this one as it also avoids using channel[index] over and over. Fixes: 58de92d2f95e ("brcmfmac: use static superset of channels for wiphy bands") Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki --- V2: Add extra comment in code for not-found channel. Make it clear this problem have never been seen so far Explain why it's safe to drop extra assignments Note & reason changing channel variable usage --- .../broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c | 32 ++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c index 9c2c128..a16dd7b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c @@ -5825,7 +5825,6 @@ static int brcmf_construct_chaninfo(struct brcmf_cfg80211_info *cfg, u32 i, j; u32 total; u32 chaninfo; - u32 index; pbuf = kzalloc(BRCMF_DCMD_MEDLEN, GFP_KERNEL); @@ -5873,33 +5872,36 @@ static int brcmf_construct_chaninfo(struct brcmf_cfg80211_info *cfg, ch.bw == BRCMU_CHAN_BW_80) continue; - channel = band->channels; - index = band->n_channels; + channel = NULL; for (j = 0; j < band->n_channels; j++) { - if (channel[j].hw_value == ch.control_ch_num) { - index = j; + if (band->channels[j].hw_value == ch.control_ch_num) { + channel = &band->channels[j]; break; } } - channel[index].center_freq = - ieee80211_channel_to_frequency(ch.control_ch_num, - band->band); - channel[index].hw_value = ch.control_ch_num; + if (!channel) { + /* It seems firmware supports some channel we never + * considered.
