mac80211: add a function for running rx without passing skbs to the stack

2020-07-31T07:27:01+00:00

This can be used to run mac80211 rx processing on a batch of frames in NAPI poll before passing them to the network stack in a large batch. This can improve icache footprint, or it can be used to pass frames via netif_receive_skb_list.

mac80211: parse radiotap header when selecting Tx queue

2020-07-31T07:27:01+00:00

Already parse the radiotap header in ieee80211_monitor_select_queue. In a subsequent commit this will allow us to add a radiotap flag that influences the queue on which injected packets will be sent. This also fixes the incomplete validation of the injected frame in ieee80211_monitor_select_queue: currently an out of bounds memory access may occur in in the called function ieee80211_select_queue_80211 if the 802.11 header is too small. Note that in ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit the radiotap header is parsed again, which is necessairy because ieee80211_monitor_select_queue is not always called beforehand.

mac80211: add radiotap flag to prevent sequence number overwrite

2020-07-31T07:27:00+00:00

The radiotap specification contains a flag to indicate that the sequence number of an injected frame should not be overwritten. Parse this flag and define and set a corresponding Tx control flag.

mac80211: use HE 6 GHz band capability and pass it to the driver

2020-05-31T09:27:03+00:00

In order to handle 6 GHz AP side, take the HE 6 GHz band capability data and pass it to the driver (which needs it for A-MPDU spacing and A-MPDU length).

mac80211: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

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

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

mac80211: fix memory overlap due to variable length param

2020-04-29T14:21:45+00:00

As of now HE operation element in bss_conf includes variable length optional field followed by other HE variable. Though the optional field never be used, actually it is referring to next member of the bss_conf structure which is not correct. Fix it by declaring needed HE operation fields within bss_conf itself.
