This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wifi: rsi: Fix handling of 802.3 EAPOL frames sent via control port to the 6.0-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: wifi-rsi-fix-handling-of-802.3-eapol-frames-sent-via.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 925058d6c389d75275aa51d73233719f9311fc86 Author: Marek Vasut <marex@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 4 17:33:39 2022 +0100 wifi: rsi: Fix handling of 802.3 EAPOL frames sent via control port [ Upstream commit b8f6efccbb9dc0ff5dee7e20d69a4747298ee603 ] When using wpa_supplicant v2.10, this driver is no longer able to associate with any AP and fails in the EAPOL 4-way handshake while sending the 2/4 message to the AP. The problem is not present in wpa_supplicant v2.9 or older. The problem stems from HostAP commit 144314eaa ("wpa_supplicant: Send EAPOL frames over nl80211 where available") which changes the way EAPOL frames are sent, from them being send at L2 frames to them being sent via nl80211 control port. An EAPOL frame sent as L2 frame is passed to the WiFi driver with skb->protocol ETH_P_PAE, while EAPOL frame sent via nl80211 control port has skb->protocol set to ETH_P_802_3 . The later happens in ieee80211_tx_control_port(), where the EAPOL frame is encapsulated into 802.3 frame. The rsi_91x driver handles ETH_P_PAE EAPOL frames as high-priority frames and sends them via highest-priority transmit queue, while the ETH_P_802_3 frames are sent as regular frames. The EAPOL 4-way handshake frames must be sent as highest-priority, otherwise the 4-way handshake times out. Therefore, to fix this problem, inspect the skb control flags and if flag IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO is set, assume this is an EAPOL frame and transmit the frame via high-priority queue just like other ETH_P_PAE frames.
