cfg80211/mac80211: fix BSS leaks when abandoning assoc attempts

2017-01-09T07:32:17+00:00

commit e6f462df9acd2a3295e5d34eb29e2823220cf129 upstream.

When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free
all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace
about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in
which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was
used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it.

Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with
the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and
use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211.

This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and
tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and
it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

cfg80211: add start / stop NAN commands

2016-09-30T11:21:14+00:00

This allows user space to start/stop NAN interface.
A NAN interface is like P2P device in a few aspects: it
doesn't have a netdev associated to it.
Add the new interface type and prevent operations that
can't be executed on NAN interface like scan.

Define several attributes that may be configured by user space
when starting NAN functionality (master preference and dual
band operation)

cfg80211: disallow shared key authentication with key index 4

2016-09-13T18:20:51+00:00

Key index 4 can only be used for an IGTK, so the range checks
for shared key authentication should treat 4 as an error, fix
that in the code.

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

cfg80211/mac80211: use to_delayed_work

2016-01-14T10:13:15+00:00

Use to_delayed_work() instead of open-coding it.

cfg80211: allow mgmt_frame_register callback to sleep

2015-07-17T13:38:26+00:00

This callback is currently not allowed to sleep, which makes it more
difficult to implement proper driver methods in mac80211 than it has
to be. Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it
possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work
in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like
ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback.

While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit
unregistration when an interface is removed, and do that also when
a P2P-Device wdev is destroyed (otherwise we leak the structs.)

cfg80211: add bss_type and privacy arguments in cfg80211_get_bss()

2015-03-03T14:56:01+00:00

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".

In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

cfg80211/mac80211: add wmm info to assoc event

2014-09-11T10:24:39+00:00

Userspace might need to know what queues are configured
for uapsd (e.g. for setting proper default values in tspecs).

Add this bitmap to the association event (inside wmm
nested attribute)

Add additional parameter to cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp,
and update its callers.

cfg80211: remove @gfp parameter from cfg80211_rx_mgmt()

2014-08-26T09:15:58+00:00

In the cfg80211_rx_mgmt(), parameter @gfp was used for the memory allocation.
But, memory get allocated under spin_lock_bh(), this implies atomic context.
So, one can't use GFP_KERNEL, only variants with no __GFP_WAIT. Actually, in all
occurrences GFP_ATOMIC is used (wil6210 use GFP_KERNEL by mistake),
and it should be this way or warning triggered in the memory allocation code.

Remove @gfp parameter as no actual choice exist, and use hard coded
GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocation.

cfg80211: change wiphy_to_dev function name

2014-04-25T15:33:04+00:00

Name wiphy_to_rdev is more accurate to describe what the function
does, i.e., return a pointer pointing to struct
cfg80211_registered_device.
