From: Felix Fietkau Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2024 14:13:32 +0000 (+0100) Subject: mac80211: fix a race condition related to enabling fast-xmit X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=438a97fab69b41387e25cbec45271e7fe159a330;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fmans0n.git mac80211: fix a race condition related to enabling fast-xmit fast-xmit must only be enabled after the sta has been uploaded to the driver, otherwise it could end up passing the not-yet-uploaded sta via drv_tx calls to the driver, leading to potential crashes because of uninitialized drv_priv data. Add a missing sta->uploaded check and re-check fast xmit after inserting a sta.
