[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 2/5] wifi: mac80211: fix race condition on enabling fast-xmit

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Feb 02 2024 - 14:02:53 EST


From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit bcbc84af1183c8cf3d1ca9b78540c2185cd85e7f ]

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.
