Zeeb <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-02-26 23:01:54 +0000 LinuxKPI: 802.11: catch possible NULL pointer deref with mt76 With mt76 we, for the first time, see that txstat->skb or txstat->info may not be filled in linuxkpi_ieee80211_tx_status_ext(). Guard for these cases checking for skb and info to be not NULL and assume a TX failure in case info is NULL.
