[PATCH] wifi: ieee80211: Fix for Rx fragmented action frames

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

 



The ieee80211_accept_frame() function performs a number of early checks
to decide whether or not further processing needs to be done on a frame.
One of those checks is the ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame() function
which peeks into the frame payload. In some scenarios, e.g. DPP at S1G
data rates, action frames can get fragmented. Those fragmented action
frames can be marked as not a robust management frames when peeked, by
ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame() function, into fragment other than the
first one as it does not include the required action frame category. In
this scenario there is no STA and so the fragmented frame will be dropped
later on in the process and will not reach the upper stack.

This change will only check if the frame is robust if it's the first
fragment. Invalid fragmented packets will be discarded later after
defragmentation is completed.
