This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mac80211: handle lack of sband->bitrates in rates to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mac80211-handle-lack-of-sband-bitrates-in-rates.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit eea3fb4f8851b9831b5a8aa769a24be803c96620 Author: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 5 09:45:21 2020 -0700 mac80211: handle lack of sband->bitrates in rates [ Upstream commit 8b783d104e7f40684333d2ec155fac39219beb2f ] Even though a driver or mac80211 shouldn't produce a legacy bitrate if sband->bitrates doesn't exist, don't crash if that is the case either. This fixes a kernel panic if station dump is run before last_rate can be updated with a data frame when sband->bitrates is missing (eg. in S1G bands).
