cfg80211/mac80211: fix BSS leaks when abandoning assoc attempts

2016-12-09T11:57:49+00:00

When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it. Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211. This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps for the Thunder driver. That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an error. Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically. But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has to stay. However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change. Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

cfg80211: limit scan results cache size

2016-11-18T07:44:44+00:00

It's possible to make scanning consume almost arbitrary amounts of memory, e.g. by sending beacon frames with random BSSIDs at high rates while somebody is scanning. Limit the number of BSS table entries we're willing to cache to 1000, limiting maximum memory usage to maybe 4-5MB, but lower in practice - that would be the case for having both full-sized beacon and probe response frames for each entry; this seems not possible in practice, so a limit of 1000 entries will likely be closer to 0.5 MB.

cfg80211: Rename SAE_DATA to more generic AUTH_DATA

2016-10-27T14:03:20+00:00

This adds defines and nl80211 extensions to allow FILS Authentication to be implemented similarly to SAE. FILS does not need the special rules for the Authentication transaction number and Status code fields, but it does need to add non-IE fields. The previously used NL80211_ATTR_SAE_DATA can be reused for this to avoid having to duplicate that implementation. Rename that attribute to more generic NL80211_ATTR_AUTH_DATA (with backwards compatibility define for NL80211_SAE_DATA). Also document the special rules related to the Authentication transaction number and Status code fiels. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: support virtual interfaces with different beacon intervals

2016-10-13T12:28:29+00:00

This commit provides a mechanism for the host drivers to advertise the support for different beacon intervals among the respective interface combinations in a group, through NL80211_IFACE_COMB_BI_MIN_GCD (u32). This value will be compared against GCD of all beaconing interfaces of matching combinations. If the driver doesn't advertise this value, the old behaviour where all beacon intervals must be identical is retained. If it is specified, then any beacon interval for an interface in the interface combination as well as the GCD of all active beacon intervals in the combination must be greater or equal to this value.

cfg80211: add start / stop NAN commands

2016-09-30T11:21:14+00:00

This allows user space to start/stop NAN interface. A NAN interface is like P2P device in a few aspects: it doesn't have a netdev associated to it. Add the new interface type and prevent operations that can't be executed on NAN interface like scan. Define several attributes that may be configured by user space when starting NAN functionality (master preference and dual band operation) Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

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. Signed-off-by: David Spinadel Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: support beacon report scanning

2016-07-06T12:51:31+00:00

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).
