I'm announcing the release of the 5.7.3 kernel.
Hello Greg,
Qiujun Huang (5): ath9k: Fix use-after-free Read in htc_connect_service ath9k: Fix use-after-free Read in ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx ath9k: Fix use-after-free Write in ath9k_htc_rx_msg ath9x: Fix stack-out-of-bounds Write in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb ath9k: Fix general protection fault in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb
We got a report on IRC about 5.7.3+ breaking a USB ath9k Wifi Dongle, while working fine on <5.7.3.
I don't have myself such HW, and the reported doesn't have any experience in bisecting the kernel, so we build kernels, each with one of the above commits reverted, to find the bad commit.
The winner is:
commit 6602f080cb28745259e2fab1a4cf55eeb5894f93 Author: Qiujun Huang hqjagain@gmail.com Date: Sat Apr 4 12:18:38 2020 +0800
ath9k: Fix general protection fault in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb commit 2bbcaaee1fcbd83272e29f31e2bb7e70d8c49e05 upstream....
Reverting this one fixed his problem.
Obvious question: is 5.8-rc1 (containing the commit) broken too?
Yes, it does, just checked.
git tag --contains 2bbcaaee1fcbd83272e29f31e2bb7e70d8c49e05 v5.8-rc1 v5.8-rc2
Sorry, I read the wrong, I just woke up.
We didn't test 5.8-rc{1,2} yet but we will today and let you know.
We tested 5.8-rc2 and it is broken too.
The exact HW name is:
TP-link tl-wn722n (Atheros AR9271 chip)
Great!
Can you work with the developers to fix this in Linus's tree first?
I bet they want to see the output of 'lsusb -v' for this device to see if the endpoint calculations are correct...
thanks,
