I have reproduced this on linux 6.5.0-rc5 with more debug info and source line pointers. I get the impression that the firmware generates a rssi notification, even after it has disconnected from the AP. Looking into the > BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify (/home/r/linux/net/wireless/nl80211.c:19089) cfg80211 with source context: net/wireless/nl80211.c 19069 void cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify(struct net_device *dev, ... 19082 19083 if (wdev->cqm_config) { 19084 wdev->cqm_config->last_rssi_event_value = rssi_level; 19085 19086 cfg80211_cqm_rssi_update(rdev, dev); 19087 19088 if (rssi_level == 0) 19089 rssi_level = wdev->cqm_config->last_rssi_event_value; 19090 } 19091 it looks like the cfg80211_cqm_rssi_update would unset the ->cqm_config, as the firmware is telling us, that there is (currently) no station > brcmfmac: brcmf_fil_cmd_data Firmware error: BCME_NOTFOUND (-30) > brcmfmac: brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get ifidx=0, name=tdls_sta_info, len=296, err=-52 > brcmfmac: brcmf_fil_cmd_data Firmware error: BCME_BADADDR (-21) > brcmfmac: brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get ifidx=0, name=sta_info, len=296, err=-52 > ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_get_station: GET STA INFO failed, -52 And then we have the null pointer at 19088 if (rssi_level == 0) 19089 --> rssi_level = wdev->cqm_config->last_rssi_event_value; 19090 } So my suggestion would be to do 19088 if (rssi_level == 0 && wdev->cqm_config) // config has not been deleted / station deleted in the meantime 19089 rssi_level = wdev->cqm_config->last_rssi_event_value; 19090 } Any opinions?
