The max_oper_chwidth settings was parsed incorrectly for big endian system.
This prevented the system to switch to VHT80 (or VHT160). Instead they were
mapped to:
* HT20: 20MHz
* VHT20: 20MHz
* HT40: 40MHz
* VHT40: 40MHz
* VHT80: 40MHz
* VHT160: 40MHz
This happened because each max_oper_chwidth setting in the config file was
parsed as "0" instead of the actual value.

Subject: wpa_supplicant: Fix parsing of max_oper_chwidth
|
||||
|
||||
The max_oper_chwidth is parsed in wpa_config_set as INT_RANGE (see
|
||||
ssid_fields). The actual parsing for INT_RANGE is done by
|
||||
wpa_config_parse_int which can only store the result as full integer.
|
||||
|
||||
max_oper_chwidth is stored as u8 (a single byte) in wpa_ssid. This means
|
||||
that on little endian systems, the least significant byte of the parsed
|
||||
value are really stored in the max_oper_chwidth. But on big endian system,
|
||||
the only most significant byte is stored as max_oper_chwidth. This means
|
||||
that 0 is always stored because the provided range doesn't allow any other
|
||||
value for systems with multi-byte-wide integers.
|
||||
|
||||
This also means that for common systems with 4-byte-wide integers, the
|
||||
remaining 3 bytes were written after the actual member of the struct. This
|
||||
should not have influenced the behavior of succeeding members because these
|
||||
bytes would have been part of the padding between the members on most
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Increasing its size to a full int fixes the write operations outside of the
|
||||
member and allows to use the max_oper_chwidth setting on big endian
|
||||
systems.
