mac80211: Fix bug in Tx ack status reporting in 802.3 xmit path

2020-07-30T08:25:17+00:00

Allocated ack_frame id from local->ack_status_frames is not really stored in the tx_info for 802.3 Tx path. Due to this, tx ack status is not reported and ack_frame id is not freed for the buffers requiring tx ack status. Also move the memset to 0 of tx_info before IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag assignment.

mac80211: skip mpath lookup also for control port tx

2020-06-25T08:59:27+00:00

When using 802.1X over mesh networks, at first an ordinary mesh peering is established, then the 802.1X EAPOL dialog happens, afterwards an authenticated mesh peering exchange (AMPE) happens, finally the peering is complete and we can set the STA authorized flag. As 802.1X is an intermediate step here and key material is not yet exchanged for stations we have to skip mesh path lookup for these EAPOL frames. Otherwise the already configure mesh group encryption key would be used to send a mesh path request which no one can decipher, because we didn't already establish key material on both peers, like with SAE and directly using AMPE.

mac80211: Fix dropping broadcast packets in 802.11 encap

2020-06-25T08:54:35+00:00

Broadcast pkts like arp are getting dropped in 'ieee80211_8023_xmit'. Fix this by replacing is_valid_ether_addr api with is_zero_ether_addr.

mac80211: support control port TX status reporting

2020-05-28T07:02:14+00:00

Add support for TX status reporting for the control port TX API; this will be used by hostapd when it moves to the control port TX API.

nl80211: add ability to report TX status for control port TX

2020-05-27T08:02:04+00:00

This adds the necessary capabilities in nl80211 to allow drivers to assign a cookie to control port TX frames (returned via extack in the netlink ACK message of the command) and then later report the frame's status.

mac80211: mlme: remove duplicate AID bookkeeping

2020-04-24T09:46:11+00:00

Maintain the connection AID only in sdata->vif.bss_conf.aid, not also in sdata->u.mgd.aid. Keep setting that where we set ifmgd->aid before, which has the side effect of exposing the AID to the driver before the station entry (AP) is marked associated, in case it needs it then.
