Various elements are parsed with a requirement to have an
exact size, when really we should only check that they have
the minimum size that we need. Check only that and therefore
ignore any additional data that they might carry.

Apparently we never clear these values, so they'll remain set
since the setting of them is conditional. Clear the values in
the relevant other cases.

We need to skip sampling if the next sample time is after jiffies, not before.
This patch fixes an issue where in some cases only very little sampling (or none
at all) is performed, leading to really bad data rates

When reconfiguration fails, we shut down everything, but we
cannot call cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces() with the wiphy
mutex held. Since cfg80211 now calls it on resume errors, we
only need to do likewise for where we call reconfig (whether
directly or indirectly), but not under the wiphy lock.

<title>mac80211: fix deadlock in AP/VLAN handling</title>

Syzbot reports that when you have AP_VLAN interfaces that are up
and close the AP interface they belong to, we get a deadlock. No
surprise - since we dev_close() them with the wiphy mutex held,
which goes back into the netdev notifier in cfg80211 and tries to
acquire the wiphy mutex there.

To fix this, we need to do two things:
 1) prevent changing iftype while AP_VLANs are up, we can't
    easily fix this case since cfg80211 already calls us with
    the wiphy mutex held, but change_interface() is relatively
    rare in drivers anyway, so changing iftype isn't used much
    (and userspace has to fall back to down/change/up anyway)
 2) pull the dev_close() loop over VLANs out of the wiphy mutex
    section in the normal stop case

<title>mac80211: Fix NULL ptr deref for injected rate info</title>

<id>bddc0c411a45d3718ac535a070f349be8eca8d48</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit cb17ed29a7a5 ("mac80211: parse radiotap header when selecting Tx
queue") moved the code to validate the radiotap header from
ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit to ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap. This made is
possible to share more code with the new Tx queue selection code for
injected frames. But at the same time, it now required the call of
ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap at the beginning of functions which wanted to
handle the radiotap header. And this broke the rate parser for radiotap
header parser.

The radiotap parser for rates is operating most of the time only on the
data in the actual radiotap header. But for the 802.11a/b/g rates, it must
also know the selected band from the chandef information. But this
information is only written to the ieee80211_tx_info at the end of the
ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit - long after ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap was
already called. The info-&gt;band information was therefore always 0
(NL80211_BAND_2GHZ) when the parser code tried to access it.

For a 5GHz only device, injecting a frame with 802.11a rates would cause a
NULL pointer dereference because local-&gt;hw.wiphy-&gt;bands[NL80211_BAND_2GHZ]
would most likely have been NULL when the radiotap parser searched for the
correct rate index of the driver.

Syzbot reports that it's possible to hit this from userspace,
by trying to add a station before any other connection setup
has been done. Instead of trying to catch this in some other
way simply remove the warning, that will appropriately reject
the call from userspace.

Syzbot reports that it's possible to hit this from userspace,
by trying to add a station before any other connection setup
has been done. Instead of trying to catch this in some other
way simply remove the warning, that will appropriately reject
the call from userspace.
