2014-10-13nl80211: clear skb cb before passing to netlinkJohannes Berg
commit bd8c78e78d5011d8111bc2533ee73b13a3bd6c42 upstream. In testmode and vendor command reply/event SKBs we use the skb cb data to store nl80211 parameters between allocation and sending. This causes the code for CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP to get confused, because it takes ownership of the skb cb data when the SKB is handed off to netlink, and it doesn't explicitly clear it. Clear the skb cb explicitly when we're done and before it gets passed to netlink to avoid this issue.

2014-06-06cfg80211: free sme on connection failuresEliad Peller
commit c1fbb258846dfc425507a093922d2d001e54c3ea upstream. cfg80211 is notified about connection failures by __cfg80211_connect_result() call. However, this function currently does not free cfg80211 sme. This results in hanging connection attempts in some cases e.g. when mac80211 authentication attempt is denied, we have this function call: ieee80211_rx_mgmt_auth() -> cfg80211_rx_mlme_mgmt() -> cfg80211_process_auth() -> cfg80211_sme_rx_auth() -> __cfg80211_connect_result() but cfg80211_sme_free() is never get called.

2014-02-22nl80211: Reset split_start when netlink skb is exhaustedPontus Fuchs
commit f12cb2893069495726c21a4b0178705dacfecfe0 upstream. When the netlink skb is exhausted split_start is left set. In the subsequent retry, with a larger buffer, the dump is continued from the failing point instead of from the beginning. This was causing my rt28xx based USB dongle to now show up when running "iw list" with an old iw version without split dump support.

commit 9f16d84ad73ea04145a5dc85c8f1067915b37eea upstream. Due to nl80211 API breakage, 5/10 MHz support is broken for all drivers. Fixing it requires adding new API, but that can't be done as a bugfix commit since that would require either updating all APIs in the trees needing the bugfix or cause different kernels to have incompatible API. Therefore, just disable 5/10 MHz support for all drivers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-10-14wireless: radiotap: fix parsing buffer overrunJohannes Berg
When parsing an invalid radiotap header, the parser can overrun the buffer that is passed in because it doesn't correctly check 1) the minimum radiotap header size 2) the space for extended bitmaps The first issue doesn't affect any in-kernel user as they all check the minimum size before calling the radiotap function. The second issue could potentially affect the kernel if an skb is passed in that consists only of the radiotap header with a lot of extended bitmaps that extend past the SKB. In that case a read-only buffer overrun by at most 4 bytes is possible. Fix this by adding the appropriate checks to the parser.

2013-07-16cfg80211/nl80211: Add packet coalesce supportAmitkumar Karwar
In most cases, host that receives IPv4 and IPv6 multicast/broadcast packets does not do anything with these packets. Therefore the reception of these unwanted packets causes unnecessary processing and power consumption. Packet coalesce feature helps to reduce number of received interrupts to host by buffering these packets in firmware/hardware for some predefined time. Received interrupt will be generated when one of the following events occur. a) Expiration of hardware timer whose expiration time is set to maximum coalescing delay of matching coalesce rule. b) Coalescing buffer in hardware reaches it's limit. c) Packet doesn't match any of the configured coalesce rules. This patch adds set/get configuration support for packet coalesce. User needs to configure following parameters for creating a coalesce rule. a) Maximum coalescing delay b) List of packet patterns which needs to be matched c) Condition for coalescence. pattern 'match' or 'no match' Multiple such rules can be created. This feature needs to be advertised during driver initialization. Drivers are supposed to do required firmware/hardware settings based on user configuration.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
