Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211_hwsim: reject NAN on multi-radio wiphys
Author: kartikey406@xxxxxxxxx
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git main
When userspace creates a new hwsim radio with both
HWSIM_ATTR_MULTI_RADIO and HWSIM_ATTR_SUPPORT_NAN_DEVICE,
hwsim_new_radio_nl() sets BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN_DATA) in
wiphy->interface_modes while configuring the wiphy with
n_radio > 1. This violates the invariant checked in
wiphy_register():
(interface_modes & BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN_DATA)) &&
(!nan_capa.phy.ht.ht_supported || n_radio > 1)
triggering a WARN reachable from userspace via genetlink.
With panic_on_warn this becomes a denial of service.
Refuse the combination at parse time with -EINVAL and an
extack message, matching the cfg80211 constraint that NAN
is not supported on multi-radio wiphys.
