Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking. Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone. What is talking below fix so long to get mainlined? The patch and the confirmation that it fixes the regressions was 19 days ago. The patch is also in linux-next for 12 days. From my point of view as regression tracker that seem "too long", as this is a regression that also affects a stable kernel. Or am I missing something? Ciao, Thorsten P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important. I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me about it in a public reply. That's in everyone's interest, as what I wrote above might be misleading to everyone reading this; any suggestion I gave thus might sent someone reading this down the wrong rabbit hole, which none of us wants. BTW, I have no personal interest in this issue, which is tracked using regzbot, my Linux kernel regression tracking bot (https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/). I'm only posting this mail to get things rolling again and hence don't need to be CC on all further activities wrt to this regression. #regzbot poke On 22.11.21 21:43, Felix Fietkau wrote: > Since retransmission clears info->control, rate control needs to be called > again, otherwise the driver might crash due to invalid rates. > > Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 5.14+ > Reported-by: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxx> > Reported-by: Robert W <rwbugreport@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fixes: 03c3911d2d67 ("mac80211: call ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() when dequeue") > Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx> > --- > net/mac80211/tx.c | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/net/mac80211/tx.c b/net/mac80211/tx.c > index 278945e3e08a..e19f6e246642 100644 > --- a/net/mac80211/tx.c > +++ b/net/mac80211/tx.c > @@ -1822,15 +1822,15 @@ static int invoke_tx_handlers_late(struct ieee80211_tx_data *tx) > struct ieee80211_tx_info *info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(tx->skb); > ieee80211_tx_result res = TX_CONTINUE; > > + if (!ieee80211_hw_check(&tx->local->hw, HAS_RATE_CONTROL)) > + CALL_TXH(ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl); > + > if (unlikely(info->flags & IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION)) { > __skb_queue_tail(&tx->skbs, tx->skb); > tx->skb = NULL; > goto txh_done; > } > > - if (!ieee80211_hw_check(&tx->local->hw, HAS_RATE_CONTROL)) > - CALL_TXH(ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl); > - > CALL_TXH(ieee80211_tx_h_michael_mic_add); > CALL_TXH(ieee80211_tx_h_sequence); > CALL_TXH(ieee80211_tx_h_fragment); >
