mac80211: add stations tied to AP_VLANs during hw reconfig

2018-09-05T07:18:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 19103a4bfb42f320395daa5616ece3e89e759d63 ]

As part of hw reconfig, only stations linked to AP interfaces are added
back to the driver ignoring those which are tied to AP_VLAN interfaces.

It is true that there could be stations tied to the AP_VLAN interface while
serving 4addr clients or when using AP_VLAN for VLAN operations; we should
be adding these stations back to the driver as part of hw reconfig, failing
to do so can cause functional issues.

In the case of ath10k driver, the following errors were observed.

These issues got fixed by adding the stations which are
tied to AP_VLANs back to the driver.

mac80211: Add RX flag to indicate ICV stripped

2018-05-16T08:06:46+00:00

commit cef0acd4d7d4811d2d19cd0195031bf0dfe41249 upstream.

Add a flag that indicates that the WEP ICV was stripped from an
RX packet, allowing the device to not transfer that if it's
already checked.

mac80211: allow same PN for AMSDU sub-frames

2018-05-16T08:06:46+00:00

commit f631a77ba920f7153a1094d09cd8f2ebbffd0328 upstream.

Some hardware (iwlwifi an example) de-aggregate AMSDUs and copy the IV
as is to the generated MPDUs, so the same PN appears in multiple
packets without being a replay attack.  Allow driver to explicitly
indicate that a frame is allowed to have the same PN as the previous
frame.

mac80211: allow not sending MIC up from driver for HW crypto

2018-05-16T08:06:46+00:00

commit f980ebc058c2fa2a552e495db1de0b330082ab70 upstream.

When HW crypto is used, there's no need for the CCMP/GCMP MIC to
be available to mac80211, and the hardware might have removed it
already after checking. The MIC is also useless to have when the
frame is already decrypted, so allow indicating that it's not
present.

Since we are running out of bits in mac80211_rx_flags, make
the flags field a u64.

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

2018-04-13T17:50:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit f8860ce836f2d502b07ef99559707fe55d90f5bc ]

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: don't parse encrypted management frames in ieee80211_frame_acked

2018-03-24T09:58:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf147085fdda044622973a12e4e06f1c753ab677 ]

ieee80211_frame_acked is called when a frame is acked by
the peer. In case this is a management frame, we check
if this an SMPS frame, in which case we can update our
antenna configuration.

When we parse the management frame we look at the category
in case it is an action frame. That byte sits after the IV
in case the frame was encrypted. This means that if the
frame was encrypted, we basically look at the IV instead
of looking at the category. It is then theorically
possible that we think that an SMPS action frame was acked
where really we had another frame that was encrypted.

Since the only management frame whose ack needs to be
tracked is the SMPS action frame, and that frame is not
a robust management frame, it will never be encrypted.
The easiest way to fix this problem is then to not look
at frames that were encrypted.

mac80211: remove BUG() when interface type is invalid

2018-03-22T08:23:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit c7976f5272486e4ff406014c4b43e2fa3b70b052 ]

In the ieee80211_setup_sdata() we check if the interface type is valid
and, if not, call BUG().  This should never happen, but if there is
something wrong with the code, it will not be caught until the bug
happens when an interface is being set up.  Calling BUG() is too
extreme for this and a WARN_ON() would be better used instead.  Change
that.

mac80211: mesh: drop frames appearing to be from us

2018-03-03T09:19:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 736a80bbfda709fb3631f5f62056f250a38e5804 ]

If there are multiple mesh stations with the same MAC address,
they will both get confused and start throwing warnings.

Obviously in this case nothing can actually work anyway, so just
drop frames that look like they're from ourselves early on.

cfg80211: fix cfg80211_beacon_dup

2018-02-28T09:17:22+00:00

commit bee92d06157fc39d5d7836a061c7d41289a55797 upstream.

gcc-8 warns about some obviously incorrect code:

net/mac80211/cfg.c: In function 'cfg80211_beacon_dup':
net/mac80211/cfg.c:2896:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]

From the context, I conclude that we want to copy from beacon into
new_beacon, as we do in the rest of the function.
