cfg80211: Add support for static WEP in the driver

2016-09-30T11:19:10+00:00

Add support for drivers that implement static WEP internally, i.e.
expose connection keys to the driver in connect flow and don't
upload the keys after the connection.

cfg80211: wext: really don't store non-WEP keys

2016-09-28T21:55:23+00:00

Jouni reported that during (repeated) wext_pmf test runs (from the
wpa_supplicant hwsim test suite) the kernel crashes. The reason is
that after the key is set, the wext code still unnecessarily stores
it into the key cache. Despite smatch pointing out an overflow, I
failed to identify the possibility for this in the code and missed
it during development of the earlier patch series.

In order to fix this, simply check that we never store anything but
WEP keys into the cache, adding a comment as to why that's enough.

Also, since the cache is still allocated early even if it won't be
used in many cases, add a comment explaining why - otherwise we'd
have to roll back key settings to the driver in case of allocation
failures, which is far more difficult.

cfg80211: reduce connect key caching struct size

2016-09-13T18:20:54+00:00

After the previous patches, connect keys can only (correctly)
be used for storing static WEP keys. Therefore, remove all the
data for dealing with key index 4/5 and reduce the size of the
key material to the maximum for WEP keys.

cfg80211: wext: only allow WEP keys to be configured before connected

2016-09-13T18:20:52+00:00

When not connected, anything but WEP keys shouldn't be allowed to be
configured for later - only static WEP keys make sense at this point.
Change wext to reject anything else just like nl80211 does.

wext: remove a/b/g/n from SIOCGIWNAME

2016-05-02T20:48:09+00:00

Since a/b/g/n no longer exist as spec amendements and VHT (ex 802.11ac)
wasn't handled at all, it's better to just remove the amendment strings
to avoid confusion.

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: wext: clear sinfo struct before calling driver

2015-06-09T20:54:58+00:00

Until recently, mac80211 overwrote all the statistics it could
provide when getting called, but it now relies on the struct
having been zeroed by the caller. This was always the case in
nl80211, but wext used a static struct which could even cause
values from one device leak to another.

Using a static struct is OK (as even documented in a comment)
since the whole usage of this function and its return value is
always locked under RTNL. Not clearing the struct for calling
the driver has always been wrong though, since drivers were
free to only fill values they could report, so calling this
for one device and then for another would always have leaked
values from one to the other.

Fix this by initializing the structure in question before the
driver method call.

cfg80211-wext: export symbols only when needed

2015-02-28T20:31:09+00:00

When a fully converted cfg80211 driver needs cfg80211-wext for
userspace API purposes, the symbols need not be exported. When
other drivers (orinoco/hermes or ipw2200) are enabled, they do
need the symbols exported as they use them directly.

Make those drivers select a new CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT Kconfig
symbol (instead of just CFG80211_WEXT) and export the functions
only if requested - this saves about 1/2k due to the size of
EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself.

cfg80211: remove enum station_info_flags

2015-01-08T14:28:10+00:00

This is really just duplicating the list of information that's
already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list.
Two small changes are needed:
 * remove STATION_INFO_ASSOC_REQ_IES complete, but the length
   (assoc_req_ies_len) can be used instead
 * add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DROP_MISC which exists internally
   but not in nl80211 yet

This gets rid of the duplicate maintenance of the two lists.

cfg80211: clear wext keys when freeing and removing them

2014-09-11T10:07:28+00:00

When freeing the keys stored for wireless extensions, clear the memory
to avoid having the key material stick around in memory "forever".
Similarly, when userspace overwrites a key, actually clear it instead
of just setting the key length to zero.
