commit ddfe49b42d8ad4bfdf92d63d4a74f162660d878d upstream.

In case the AP has different regulatory information than we do,
it can happen that we connect to an AP based on e.g. the world
roaming regulatory data, and then update our database with the
AP's country information disables the channel the AP is using.
If this happens on an HT AP, the bandwidth tracking code will
hit the WARN_ON() and disconnect. Since that's not very useful,
ignore the channel-disable flag in bandwidth tracking.

mac80211: fix infinite loop in ieee80211_determine_chantype 2013-08-20T15:43:03+00:00 Chris Wright chrisw@sous-sol.org 2013-07-31T19:12:24+00:00 42c8df37807471eac800b06891329e70b789cb44 commit b56e4b857c5210e848bfb80e074e5756a36cd523 upstream. Commit "3d9646d mac80211: fix channel selection bug" introduced a possible infinite loop by moving the out target above the chandef_downgrade while loop. When we downgrade to NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_20_NOHT, we jump back up to re-run the while loop...indefinitely. Replace goto with break and carry on. This may not be sufficient to connect to the AP, but will at least keep the cpu from livelocking. Thanks to Derek Atkins as an extra pair of debugging eyes.

mac80211: ignore HT primary channel while connected 2013-08-20T15:43:03+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-07-31T09:23:06+00:00 7febdf14e427e1ed642f0a0c97182d50b6ce199e commit 5cdaed1e878d723d56d04ae0be1738124acf9f46 upstream. While we're connected, the AP shouldn't change the primary channel in the HT information. We checked this, and dropped the connection if it did change it. Unfortunately, this is causing problems on some APs, e.g. on the Netgear WRT610NL: the beacons seem to always contain a bad channel and if we made a connection using a probe response (correct data) we drop the connection immediately and can basically not connect properly at all. Work around this by ignoring the HT primary channel information in beacons if we're already connected. Also print out more verbose messages in the other situations to help diagnose similar bugs quicker in the future.

mac80211: fix duplicate retransmission detection 2013-08-12T01:35:22+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-07-11T20:33:26+00:00 fd14e26686ae1729c25cf9c938eed826eb825e9d commit 6b0f32745dcfba01d7be33acd1b40306c7a914c6 upstream. The duplicate retransmission detection code in mac80211 erroneously attempts to do the check for every frame, even frames that don't have a sequence control field or that don't use it (QoS-Null frames.) This is problematic because it causes the code to access data beyond the end of the SKB and depending on the data there will drop packets erroneously. Correct the code to not do duplicate detection for such frames. I found this error while testing AP powersave, it lead to retransmitted PS-Poll frames being dropped entirely as the data beyond the end of the SKB was always zero.

Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.
