[PATCH] wifi: ieee80211: Fix for fragmented action frames
From: Gilad Itzkovitch
Date: Wed Aug 10 2022 - 18:48:33 EST
The robust management frame check ensures a station exists for
the frame before proceeding, but there are some action frame
categories which don't require an existing station, and so the
_ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame function peeks into the
action frame's payload to identify the category and filter them out.
In some scenarios, e.g. DPP at S1G data rates, action frames
can get fragmented. This commit adds an extra check to ensure
we don't peek into the payload of fragmented frames beyond the
first fragment.
