Title
wifi: mt76: fix non-AQL packet accounting for MLO stations
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: fix non-AQL packet accounting for MLO stations __mt76_tx_queue_skb() overrides the wcid passed by the driver with sta->drv_priv, so the wcid might incorrectly be changed after TX, causing wcid->non_aql_packets to be counted on the wrong wcid. For example, on the AP side, if a station's setup link is the 5G link and the station uses 2G to transmit a frame, the value of non_aql_packets is increased on the 5G wcid but decreased on the 2G wcid. Once the inflated counter exceeds MT_MAX_NON_AQL_PKT, the TX scheduler permanently refuses to service the station. Drop the reassignment and account on the wcid used for transmission. This also records the actual wcid in the queue entry.

For\nexample, on the AP side, if a station\u0027s setup link is the 5G link and\nthe station uses 2G to transmit a frame, the value of non_aql_packets\nis increased on the 5G wcid but decreased on the 2G wcid. Once the\ninflated counter exceeds MT_MAX_NON_AQL_PKT, the TX scheduler\npermanently refuses to service the station.\n\nDrop the reassignment and account on the wcid used for transmission.\nThis also records the actual wcid in the queue entry."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
