Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: fix A-MSDU outer SA/DA

According to IEEE 802.11-2012 section 8.3.2 table 8-19, the outer SA/DA
of A-MSDU frames need to be changed depending on FromDS/ToDS values.

v2:
- avoid the extra write to amsdu_hdr
- avoid copy of asmdu_hdr into skb, use ptr instead

You're right.

I'm not convinced.

ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate handles two skbs: the "skb" var and the "head"
var.
The skb is appended to the frag list of head by setting frag_tail and
does not appear to have an ieee80211_hdr, as memmove is only 2 *
ETH_ALEN. Additionally, the rfc1042_header is written after 2 bytes
containing subframe_len, so it looks like an A-MSDU subframe with
rfc1042_header is inserted at the beginning of the inner MSDU.

Only the head skb is processed by ieee80211_amsdu_prepare_head and
appears to have an 802.11 header. So its da/sa address should be
changed.

M. Braun

actually ...

802.11 header

802.11 header length

push ethernet header in

move 802.11 header from back to front

hdr is at the beginning of the frame

amsdu_hdr is actually the *inner* header after all.


So, I actually think my first instinct that you were erroneously
changing the inner header *was* right.


Seems like this code should be inserted towards the end of
ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate() instead, where it's adding the RFC 1042
header?

Need Felix to take a look, I guess.
