stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.104 commit 13f0ea8d11934a017f5c353fa049a09de3c37ec0 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I56XAC
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit cacfddf82baf1470e5741edeecb187260868f195 ]
In mac80211_hwsim, the probe_req frame is created and sent while scanning. It is sent with ieee80211_tx_info which is not initialized. Uninitialized ieee80211_tx_info can cause problems when using mac80211_hwsim with wmediumd. wmediumd checks the tx_rates field of ieee80211_tx_info and doesn't relay probe_req frame to other clients even if it is a broadcasting message.
Call ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() to initialize ieee80211_tx_info for the probe_req that is created by hw_scan_work in mac80211_hwsim.
