mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-11-16T16:46:58+00:00

commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream.

A number of places in the mesh code don't check that
the frame data is present and in the skb header when
trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary
pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data
that doesn't actually exist.

To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be
able to use it in mac80211.

wireless: drop invalid mesh address extension frames

2012-11-16T16:46:57+00:00

commit 7dd111e8ee10cc6816669eabcad3334447673236 upstream.

The mesh header can have address extension by a 4th
or a 5th and 6th address, but never both. Drop such
frames in 802.11 -> 802.3 conversion along with any
frames that have the wrong extension.

cfg80211: process pending events when unregistering net device

2012-08-19T17:15:30+00:00

commit 1f6fc43e621167492ed4b7f3b4269c584c3d6ccc upstream.

libertas currently calls cfg80211_disconnected() when it is being
brought down. This causes an event to be allocated, but since the
wdev is already removed from the rdev by the time that the event
processing work executes, the event is never processed or freed.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/95666

Fix this leak, and other possible situations, by processing the event
queue when a device is being unregistered. Thanks to Johannes Berg for
the suggestion.

cfg80211: fix interface combinations check for ADHOC(IBSS)

2012-08-09T23:24:37+00:00

partial of commit 8e8b41f9d8c8e63fc92f899ace8da91a490ac573 upstream.

As part of commit 463454b5dbd8 ("cfg80211: fix interface
combinations check"), this extra check was introduced:

       if ((all_iftypes & used_iftypes) != used_iftypes)
               goto cont;

However, most wireless NIC drivers did not advertise ADHOC in
wiphy.iface_combinations[i].limits[] and hence we'll get -EBUSY
when we bring up a ADHOC wlan with commands similar to:

 # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc && ifconfig wlan0 up

In commit 8e8b41f9d8c8e ("cfg80211: enforce lack of interface
combinations"), the change below fixes the issue:

       if (total == 1)
               return 0;

But it also introduces other dependencies for stable. For example,
a full cherry pick of 8e8b41f9d8c8e would introduce additional
regressions unless we also start cherry picking driver specific
fixes like the following:

  9b4760e  ath5k: add possible wiphy interface combinations
  1ae2fc2  mac80211_hwsim: advertise interface combinations
  20c8e8d  ath9k: add possible wiphy interface combinations

And the purpose of the 'if (total == 1)' is to cover the specific
use case (IBSS, adhoc) that was mentioned above. So we just pick
the specific part out from 8e8b41f9d8c8e here.

Doing so gives stable kernels a way to fix the change introduced
by 463454b5dbd8, without having to make cherry picks specific to
various NIC drivers.

cfg80211: check iface combinations only when iface is running

2012-07-25T03:11:20+00:00

commit f8cdddb8d61d16a156229f0910f7ecfc7a82c003 upstream.

Don't validate interface combinations on a stopped
interface. Otherwise we might end up being able to
create a new interface with a certain type, but
won't be able to change an existing interface
into that type.

This also skips some other functions when
interface is stopped and changing interface type.

cfg80211: fix interface combinations check

2012-06-19T22:18:14+00:00

commit 463454b5dbd8dbab6e2fc6c557329e5b811b9c32 upstream.

If a given interface combination doesn't contain
a required interface type then we missed checking
that and erroneously allowed it even though iface
type wasn't there at all. Add a check that makes
sure that all interface types are accounted for.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence

mac80211: data path modification for TDLS peers

2011-09-30T19:57:09+00:00

Mark the STA entries of enabled TDLS peers with a new "peer authorized"
flag.

During link setup, allow special TDLS setup frames through the AP, but
otherwise drop all packets destined to the peer. This is required by the
TDLS (802.11z) specification in order to prevent reordering of MSDUs
between the AP and direct paths.

When setup completes and the peer is authorized, send data directly,
bypassing the AP.

In the Rx path, allow data to be received directly from TDLS peers.

cfg80211: Validate cipher suite against supported ciphers

2011-09-27T18:29:54+00:00

Instead of using a hardcoded list of cipher suites in nl80211.c, use a
shared function in util.c to verify that the driver advertises support
for the specified cipher. This provides more accurate validation of the
values and allows vendor-specific cipher suites to be added in drivers.
