cfg80211: pmsr: fix abort locking

2019-02-06T09:38:00+00:00

When we destroy the interface we already hold the wdev->mtx
while calling cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down(), which assumes this
isn't true and flushes the worker that takes the lock, thus
leading to a deadlock.

Fix this by refactoring the worker and calling its code in
cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() directly.

We still need to flush the work later to make sure it's not
still running and will crash, but it will not do anything.

nl80211: announce radios/interfaces when switching namespaces

2018-11-09T10:21:10+00:00

When a wiphy changes its namespace, all interfaces are moved to the
new namespace as well. The network interfaces are properly announced
as leaving on the old and as appearing on the new namespace through
RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_DELLINK. On nl80211, however, these events are missing
for radios and their interfaces.

Add netlink announcements through nl80211 when switching namespaces,
so userspace can rely on these events to discover radios properly.

cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM initiator API

2018-11-09T10:20:13+00:00

Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure
certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement
FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that
it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary
things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig.

The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and
channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a
set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform.

Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final
complete message.

Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running
measurement.

v3:
 - add a bit to report "final" for partial results
 - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results
   to the requester (big code reduction ...)
 - also send complete message unicast, and as a result
   remove the multicast group
 - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer
   from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer
 - document timeout == 0 if no timeout
 - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0,
   must not include attribute for no timeout
 - make MAC address randomization optional
 - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather
   rather than the old default of 15==don't care)

v4:
 - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation

v5:
 - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes
 - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient
 - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability
 - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst"

v6:
 - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
   and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any
   pending measurements

v7:
 - wording fixes (Lior)
 - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior)

v8:
 - copyright statements
 - minor coding style fixes
 - fix error path leak

cfg80211: unify sending NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE

2018-10-02T07:58:57+00:00

There isn't really any need for us to be sending this from
two different places - move cfg80211_init_wdev() later and
send the notification from there, removing it from the non-
netdev case.

cfg80211: combine wdev/netdev unregister code

2018-10-02T07:58:51+00:00

We currently have two places that do similar things, depending
on whether it's a wdev with or without netdev.

Combine the code to avoid having to duplicate all new additions.

cfg80211: combine duplicate wdev init code

2018-10-02T07:56:29+00:00

There's a bit of duplicated code to initialize a wdev, pull it out
into a separate function to call from both places.

cfg80211: remove unnecessary null pointer check in cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call

2018-10-02T07:56:29+00:00

The iterator in list_for_each_entry_safe is never null, therefore, remove
the redundant null pointer check.

Small merge conflict in net/mac80211/scan.c, I preserved
the kcalloc() conversion. -DaveM

Johannes Berg says:

====================
This round's updates:
 * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns
   out to be small - but everything kept changing, so
   one part I did in the driver was >30 patches for
   what was ultimately <200 lines of code ... similar
   here for this code.
 * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan
   flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as
   reducing the probe request element content
 * rfkill cleanups
 * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd
 * various other cleanups

cfg80211: fix rcu in cfg80211_unregister_wdev

2018-06-15T11:05:14+00:00

Callers of cfg80211_unregister_wdev can free the wdev object
immediately after this function returns. This may crash the kernel
because this wdev object is still in use by other threads.
Add synchronize_rcu() after list_del_rcu to make sure wdev object can
be safely freed.
