Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix WARN_ON_ONCE in ieee80211_tdls_oper
Author: kartikey406@xxxxxxxxx
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK can be called without completing the TDLS
setup handshake, or after the TDLS_PEER_SETUP_TIMEOUT (15 seconds)
has expired and tdls_peer_del_work has zeroed out the peer address.
In both cases the WARN_ON_ONCE triggers because tdls_peer is either
zero or mismatched with the requested peer.
Replace the WARN_ON_ONCE with a proper check that returns -ENOLINK
to enforce that ENABLE_LINK can only proceed after a successful TDLS
handshake.
