If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a87abd1b4f055c31a7324ddda19d92f7ebc7a08e Author: Jonas Jelonek <jelonek.jonas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 14 16:54:39 2022 +0200 wifi: mac80211_hwsim: fix debugfs attribute ps with rc table support [ Upstream commit 69188df5f6e4cecc6b76b958979ba363cd5240e8 ] Fixes a warning that occurs when rc table support is enabled (IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE) in mac80211_hwsim and the PS mode is changed via the exported debugfs attribute. When the PS mode is changed, a packet is broadcasted via hwsim_send_nullfunc by creating and transmitting a plain skb with only header initialized. The ieee80211 rate array in the control buffer is zero-initialized. When ratetbl support is enabled, ieee80211_get_tx_rates is called for the skb with sta parameter set to NULL and thus no ratetbl can be used. The final rate array then looks like [-1,0; 0,0; 0,0; 0,0] which causes the warning in ieee80211_get_tx_rate. The issue is fixed by setting the count of the first rate with idx '0' to 1 and hence ieee80211_get_tx_rates won't overwrite it with idx '-1'.
