[PATCH 23/25] iwlwifi: mvm: make RSS RX more robust

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

If the firmware ever decides to send any new/more notifications
to the RSS queues, the driver would currently try to interpret
those as REPLY_RX_MPDU_CMD and, if the notification was small,
access invalid memory.

Prevent that by checking for REPLY_RX_MPDU_CMD explicitly which
allows ignoring unexpected notifications.
