====================
Here are quite a large number of fixes, notably:
 * various A-MSDU building fixes (currently only affects mt76)
 * syzkaller & spectre fixes in hwsim
 * TXQ vs. teardown fix that was causing crashes
 * embed WMM info in reg rule, bad code here had been causing crashes
 * one compilation issue with fix from Arnd (rfkill-gpio includes)
 * fixes for a race and bad data during/after channel switch
 * nl80211: a validation fix, attribute type & unit fixes
along with other small fixes.

cfg80211: nl80211_update_ft_ies() to validate NL80211_ATTR_IE

2018-08-30T07:58:21+00:00

nl80211_update_ft_ies() tried to validate NL80211_ATTR_IE with
is_valid_ie_attr() before dereferencing it, but that helper function
returns true in case of NULL pointer (i.e., attribute not included).
This can result to dereferencing a NULL pointer. Fix that by explicitly
checking that NL80211_ATTR_IE is included.

nl80211: Pass center frequency in kHz instead of MHz

2018-08-28T09:41:23+00:00

freq_reg_info expects to get the frequency in kHz. Instead we
accidently pass it in MHz.  Thus, currently the function always
return ERR rule. Fix that.

nl80211: Fix nla_put_u8 to u16 for NL80211_WMMR_TXOP

2018-08-28T09:37:28+00:00

TXOP (also known as Channel Occupancy Time) is u16 and should be
added using nla_put_u16 instead of u8, fix that.

cfg80211: make wmm_rule part of the reg_rule structure

2018-08-28T09:11:47+00:00

Make wmm_rule be part of the reg_rule structure. This simplifies the
code a lot at the cost of having bigger memory usage. However in most
cases we have only few reg_rule's and when we do have many like in
iwlwifi we do not save memory as it allocates a separate wmm_rule for
each channel anyway.

This also fixes a bug reported in various places where somewhere the
pointers were corrupted and we ended up doing a null-dereference.

nl80211: Add a missing break in parse_station_flags

2018-07-09T07:09:57+00:00

I was looking at usually suppressed gcc warnings,
[-Wimplicit-fallthrough=] in this case:

The code definitely looks like a break is missing here.
However I am not able to test the NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT,
nor do I actually know what might be :)
So please use this patch with caution and only if you are
able to do some testing.

nl80211/mac80211: allow non-linear skb in rx_control_port

2018-07-06T12:34:42+00:00

The current implementation of cfg80211_rx_control_port assumed that the
caller could provide a contiguous region of memory for the control port
frame to be sent up to userspace.  Unfortunately, many drivers produce
non-linear skbs, especially for data frames.  This resulted in userspace
getting notified of control port frames with correct metadata (from
address, port, etc) yet garbage / nonsense contents, resulting in bad
handshakes, disconnections, etc.

mac80211 linearizes skbs containing management frames.  But it didn't
seem worthwhile to do this for control port frames.  Thus the signature
of cfg80211_rx_control_port was changed to take the skb directly.
nl80211 then takes care of obtaining control port frame data directly
from the (linear | non-linear) skb.

The caller is still responsible for freeing the skb,
cfg80211_rx_control_port does not take ownership of it.

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
