      cfg80211: send scan results from work queue · f9d15d16
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      Due to the previous commit, when a scan finishes, it is in theory
      possible to hit the following sequence:
       1. interface starts being removed
       2. scan is cancelled by driver and cfg80211 is notified
       3. scan done work is scheduled
       4. interface is removed completely, rdev->scan_req is freed,
          event sent to userspace but scan done work remains pending
       5. new scan is requested on another virtual interface
       6. scan done work runs, freeing the still-running scan
      
      To fix this situation, hang on to the scan done message and block
      new scans while that is the case, and only send the message from
      the work function, regardless of whether the scan_req is already
      freed from interface removal. This makes step 5 above impossible
      and changes step 6 to be
       5. scan done work runs, sending the scan done message
      
      As this can't work for wext, so we send the message immediately,
      but this shouldn't be an issue since we still return -EBUSY.

      cfg80211: consider existing DFS interfaces · 9e0e2961
      Michal Kazior authored
      
      It was possible to break interface combinations in
      the following way:
      
       combo 1: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 2, num_chans = 2,
       combo 2: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 1, num_chans = 1, radar = HT20
      
      With the above interface combinations it was
      possible to:
      
       step 1. start AP on DFS channel by matching combo 2
       step 2. start AP on non-DFS channel by matching combo 1
      
      This was possible beacuse (step 2) did not consider
      if other interfaces require radar detection.
      
      The patch changes how cfg80211 tracks channels -
      instead of channel itself now a complete chandef
      is stored.

      cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS join · fe94f3a4
      Antonio Quartulli authored
      
      When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object
      based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid
      only.
      With the current approach if another cell having the same
      BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211
      picks up the wrong BSS object.
      The result is a mismatching channel configuration between
      cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of
      problem.
      
      The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on
      given channel and then asking the driver to create a new
      cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency.
      By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve
      this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object.
      All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed
      accordingly.
      
      Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL
      channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same
      function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call
      cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

      cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans · 4a58e7c3
      Eliad Peller authored
      
      ___cfg80211_scan_done() can be called in some cases
      (e.g. on NETDEV_DOWN) before the low level driver
      notified scan completion (which is indicated by
      passing leak=true).
      
      Clearing rdev->scan_req in this case is buggy, as
      scan_done_wk might have already being queued/running
      (and can't be flushed as it takes rtnl()).
      
      If a new scan will be requested at this stage, the
      scan_done_wk will try freeing it (instead of the
      previous scan), and this will later result in
      a use after free.
      
      Simply remove the "leak" option, and replace it with
      a standard WARN_ON.

      nl80211: vendor command support · ad7e718c
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      Add support for vendor-specific commands to nl80211. This is
      intended to be used for really vendor-specific functionality
      that can't be implemented in a generic fashion for any reason.
      It's *NOT* intended to be used for any normal/generic feature
      or any optimisations that could be implemented across drivers.
      
      Currently, only vendor commands (with replies) are supported,
      no dump operations or vendor-specific notifications.
      
      Also add a function wdev_to_ieee80211_vif() to mac80211 which
      is needed for mac80211-based drivers wanting to implement any
      vendor commands.

      cfg80211/nl80211: Add packet coalesce support · be29b99a
      Amitkumar Karwar authored
      
      In most cases, host that receives IPv4 and IPv6 multicast/broadcast
      packets does not do anything with these packets. Therefore the
      reception of these unwanted packets causes unnecessary processing
      and power consumption.
      
      Packet coalesce feature helps to reduce number of received
      interrupts to host by buffering these packets in firmware/hardware
      for some predefined time. Received interrupt will be generated when
      one of the following events occur.
      a) Expiration of hardware timer whose expiration time is set to
      maximum coalescing delay of matching coalesce rule.
      b) Coalescing buffer in hardware reaches it's limit.
      c) Packet doesn't match any of the configured coalesce rules.
      
      This patch adds set/get configuration support for packet coalesce.
      User needs to configure following parameters for creating a coalesce
      rule.
      a) Maximum coalescing delay
      b) List of packet patterns which needs to be matched
      c) Condition for coalescence. pattern 'match' or 'no match'
      Multiple such rules can be created.
      
      This feature needs to be advertised during driver initialization.
      Drivers are supposed to do required firmware/hardware settings based
      on user configuration.

      cfg80211: separate internal SME implementation · ceca7b71
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is
      very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been
      causing issues for a long time. There are three things
      that the implementation has to provide:
       * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect()
         call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is
         really just mac80211) and wireless extensions
       * MLME events for the userspace SME
       * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all
         different SME implementation possibilities (driver,
         cfg80211 and userspace)
      
      To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the
      software SME's connection status outside of it's state
      (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead,
      track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the
      general case only track whether the wdev is connected
      or not (via wdev->current_bss.)
      
      Also separate the internal implementation to not have
      callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from
      the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211)
      calls. This separates the code better.

      cfg80211: always check for scan end on P2P device · f9f47529
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the
      scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by
      that time. To avoid the crash always check the scan completion
      when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the
      driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise
      warn and leak it to avoid later crashes.
      
      In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the
      rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed). For now, use
      the sched_scan_mtx instead, I'll rename it to just scan_mtx in
      a later patch.

      If possible that after suspend, cfg80211 will receive request to
      disconnect what require action on interface that was removed during
      suspend.
      
      Problem can manifest itself by various warnings similar to below one:

      To fix the problem disconnect from any associated network before
      suspend. User space is responsible to establish connection again
      after resume. This basically need to be done by user space anyway,
      because associated stations can go away during suspend (for example
      NetworkManager disconnects on suspend and connect on resume by default).
      
      Patch also handle situation when driver refuse to suspend with wowlan
      configured and try to suspend again without it.

      cfg80211: track hidden SSID networks properly · 776b3580
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      Currently, cfg80211 will copy beacon IEs from a previously
      received hidden SSID beacon to a probe response entry, if
      that entry is created after the beacon entry. However, if
      it is the other way around, or if the beacon is updated,
      such changes aren't propagated.
      
      Fix this by tracking the relation between the probe
      response and beacon BSS structs in this case.
      
      In case drivers have private data stored in a BSS struct
      and need access to such data from a beacon entry, cfg80211
      now provides the hidden_beacon_bss pointer from the probe
      response entry to the beacon entry.

      nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configuration · 3d9d1d66
      Johannes Berg authored
      
      Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT)
      using the control channel frequency (as before) and
      new attributes for the channel width and first and
      second center frequency. The old channel type is of
      course still supported for HT.
      
      Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
      to support these by adding the relevant fields to
      it (and removing the _type field.)
      
      This also adds new helper functions:
       - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
         struct given the control channel and channel type,
       - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
         definitions are identical
       - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
         channel definitions are compatible, and return the
         wider of the two
      
      This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
      until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
      missing
       - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
         even makes sense)
       - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)
       - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the
         new channel types
