Revert "cfg80211: make WEXT compatibility unselectable"

2014-12-31T00:42:29+00:00

This reverts commit 24a0aa212ee2dbe44360288684478d76a8e20a0a.

It's causing severe userspace breakage.  Namely, all the utilities from
wireless-utils which are relying on CONFIG_WEXT (which means tools like
'iwconfig', 'iwlist', etc) are not working anymore.  There is a 'iw'
utility in newer wireless-tools, which is supposed to be a replacement
for all the "deprecated" binaries, but it's far away from being
massively adopted.

Please see [1] for example of the userspace breakage this is causing.

In addition to that, Larry Finger reports [2] that this patch is also
causing ipw2200 driver being impossible to build.

To me this clearly shows that CONFIG_WEXT is far, far away from being
"deprecated enough" to be removed.

genetlink: A genl_bind() to an out-of-range multicast group should not WARN().

2014-12-29T21:31:49+00:00

Users can request to bind to arbitrary multicast groups, so warning
when the requested group number is out of range is not appropriate.

And with the warning removed, and the 'err' variable properly given
an initial value, we can remove 'found' altogether.

netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbind

2014-12-27T08:07:50+00:00

Netlink families can exist in multiple namespaces, and for the most
part multicast subscriptions are per network namespace. Thus it only
makes sense to have bind/unbind notifications per network namespace.

To achieve this, pass the network namespace of a given client socket
to the bind/unbind functions.

Also do this in generic netlink, and there also make sure that any
bind for multicast groups that only exist in init_net is rejected.
This isn't really a problem if it is accepted since a client in a
different namespace will never receive any notifications from such
a group, but it can confuse the family if not rejected (it's also
possible to silently (without telling the family) accept it, but it
would also have to be ignored on unbind so families that take any
kind of action on bind/unbind won't do unnecessary work for invalid
clients like that.

netlink: call unbind when releasing socket

2014-12-27T07:20:23+00:00

Currently, netlink_unbind() is only called when the socket
explicitly unbinds, which limits its usefulness (luckily
there are no users of it yet anyway.)

Call netlink_unbind() also when a socket is released, so it
becomes possible to track listeners with this callback and
without also implementing a netlink notifier (and checking
netlink_has_listeners() in there.)

netlink: update listeners directly when removing socket

2014-12-27T07:20:23+00:00

The code is now confusing to read - first in one function down
(netlink_remove) any group subscriptions are implicitly removed
by calling __sk_del_bind_node(), but the subscriber database is
only updated far later by calling netlink_update_listeners().

Move the latter call to just after removal from the list so it
is easier to follow the code.

This also enables moving the locking inside the kernel-socket
conditional, which improves the normal socket destruction path.

genetlink: pass only network namespace to genl_has_listeners()

2014-12-27T07:20:23+00:00

There's no point to force the caller to know about the internal
genl_sock to use inside struct net, just have them pass the network
namespace. This doesn't really change code generation since it's
an inline, but makes the caller less magic - there's never any
reason to pass another socket.

netlink: rename netlink_unbind() to netlink_undo_bind()

2014-12-27T07:20:23+00:00

The new name is more expressive - this isn't a generic unbind
function but rather only a little undo helper for use only in
netlink_bind().

Johan Hedberg says:

====================
Here's one more bluetooth pull request for 3.19. We've got two fixes:

 - Fix for accepting connections with old user space versions of BlueZ
 - Fix for Bluetooth controllers that don't have a public address

Both of these are regressions that were introduced in 3.17, so the
appropriate Cc: stable annotations are provided.

Please let me know if there are any issues pulling. Thanks.
