[PATCH v3] net: mac80211: Add NULL checks for sta->sdata

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 08:50:35 EST


In a previous commit 69403bad97aa ("wifi: mac80211: sdata can be NULL
during AMPDU start"), sta->sdata can be NULL, and thus it should be
checked before being used.

However, in the same call stack, sta->sdata is also used in the
following functions:

ieee80211_ba_session_work()
___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session(sta)
ht_dbg(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check
sdata_info(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check
ieee80211_send_delba(sta->sdata, ...) -> No check
___ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session(sta)
ht_dbg(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check
ht_dbg_ratelimited(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check
ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start(sta)
sdata = sta->sdata; if (!sdata) -> Add check by previous commit
___ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(sdata)
ht_dbg(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb(sdata)
sdata = sta->sdata; local = sdata->local -> No check
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb(sdata)
ht_dbg(sta->sdata, ...); -> No check

Thus, to avoid possible null-pointer dereferences, the related checks
should be added.

These bugs are reported by a static analysis tool implemented by myself,
and they are found by extending a known bug fixed in the previous commit.
Thus, they could be theoretical bugs.

v3:
* Add NULL check about sta->sdata related to local in the function
___ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session()
---
v2:
* Fix an error reported by checkpatch.pl, and make the bug finding
process more clear in the description. Thanks for Simon's advice.
