When a robust management frames is received, rx_dec->swdec is not set,
even though the HW did not decrypt it. Extend the check and don't set
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED for these frames in order to use SW decryption.

I ran into this problem recently with rtl8192du:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/ed12ec17-ae6e-45fa-a72f-23e0a34654da@xxxxxxxxx/
Does the same fix work for you in rtl8xxxu? Checking the "security"
field of the RX descriptor is simpler than calling two functions.
Sorry to bother you when the patch is already applied.
Thanks for the hint. I tried to do something similar to what has been done in other rtlwifi drivers and missed the solution in rtw88, which is probably better:
rtlwifi/rtl8188ee/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8192ee/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8192se/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8723ae/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8723be/trx.c
rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/trx.c
Shouldn't it be changed in these locations as well?
I will do a test for rtl8xxxu and if it is successful send a new patch.
Also, won't you send the patch to the stable tree?
The rtl8xxxu driver previously did not have the MFP_CAPABLE flag set. As I am adding new functionality (support for WPA3), I don't think this should go to stable.
Without your patch I can't connect to my phone's hotspot
when it uses WPA3:
Apr 08 12:50:57 ideapad2 wpa_supplicant[1231]: nl80211: kernel reports: key setting validation failed
Apr 08 12:50:57 ideapad2 wpa_supplicant[1231]: wlp3s0f3u2: WPA: Failed to configure IGTK to the driver
Apr 08 12:50:57 ideapad2 wpa_supplicant[1231]: wlp3s0f3u2: RSN: Failed to configure IGTK
It doesn't say anything about WPA3 or management frame
protection, just prints those unhelpful errors and tries
to connect over and over again. To me that looks more like
fixing a bug than adding new functionality. It's just sad
that people need to install kernel 6.10+ in order to support
WPA3, when the patch is so small.
I would like to know your opinion on this. imho this patch should not go to
stable and I would therefore propose to just send a patch to improve the checks.
If you as a maintainer however say, you would like to see this in stable, then I
will send a revert and a new patch.
Martin
