mac80211: fix dropped counter in multiqueue RX

2017-06-01T19:26:03+00:00

In the commit enabling per-CPU station statistics, I inadvertedly
copy-pasted some code to update rx_packets and forgot to change it
to update rx_dropped_misc. Fix that.

This addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195953.

mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback race

2017-05-30T07:08:40+00:00

When starting or stopping an aggregation session, one of the steps
is that the driver calls back to mac80211 that the start/stop can
proceed. This is handled by queueing up a fake SKB and processing
it from the normal iface/sdata work. Since this isn't flushed when
disassociating, the following race is possible:

 * associate
 * start aggregation session
 * driver callback
 * disassociate
 * associate again to the same AP
 * callback processing runs, leading to a WARN_ON() that
   the TID hadn't requested aggregation

If the second association isn't to the same AP, there would only
be a message printed ("Could not find station: "), but the
same race could happen.

Fix this by not going the whole detour with a fake SKB etc. but
simply looking up the aggregation session in the driver callback,
marking it with a START_CB/STOP_CB bit and then scheduling the
regular aggregation work that will now process these bits as well.
This also simplifies the code and gets rid of the whole problem
with allocation failures of said skb, which could have left the
session in limbo.

mac80211: strictly check mesh address extension mode

2017-05-17T12:24:29+00:00

Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch
appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition
that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that
frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries
are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before
processing the packet.

Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension
mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify
0x3 as valid address field.

mac80211: fix IBSS presp allocation size

2017-05-08T09:25:04+00:00

When VHT IBSS support was added, the size of the extra elements
wasn't considered in ieee80211_ibss_build_presp(), which makes
it possible that it would overrun the allocated buffer. Fix it
by allocating the necessary space.

mac80211: bail out from prep_connection() if a reconfig is ongoing

2017-05-08T09:23:50+00:00

If ieee80211_hw_restart() is called during authentication, the
authentication process will continue, causing the driver to be called
in a wrong state.  This ultimately causes an oops in the iwlwifi
driver (at least).

This fixes bugzilla 195299 partly.

mac80211: Add support for BSS max idle period element

2017-04-28T10:28:45+00:00

Parse the BSS max idle period element and set the BSS configuration
accordingly so the driver can use this information to configure the
max idle period and to use protected management frames for keep alive
when required.

The BSS max idle period element is defined in IEEE802.11-2016,

mac80211: Fix possible sband related NULL pointer de-reference

2017-04-28T10:28:44+00:00

Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even
if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets
which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'.
Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when
channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing
the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with  'ieee80211_get_sband' which
returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL.

An example scenario is as below:

In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a
channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected)
and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel
switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the
other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid
and this results in a crash  while the clients connected to the AP vif
tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated
by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does
happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of
testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif

mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_status_ext

2017-04-28T09:08:21+00:00

This allows the driver to pass in struct ieee80211_tx_status directly.
Make ieee80211_tx_status_noskb a wrapper around it.

As with ieee80211_tx_status_noskb, there is no _ni variant of this call,
because it probably won't be needed.

Even if the driver won't provide any extra status info other than what's
in struct ieee80211_tx_info already, it can optimize status reporting
this way by passing in the station pointer.
