cfg80211: fix management registrations locking

2021-11-02T18:48:20+00:00

commit 09b1d5dc6ce1c9151777f6c4e128a59457704c97 upstream. The management registrations locking was broken, the list was locked for each wdev, but cfg80211_mgmt_registrations_update() iterated it without holding all the correct spinlocks, causing list corruption. Rather than trying to fix it with fine-grained locking, just move the lock to the wiphy/rdev (still need the list on each wdev), we already need to hold the wdev lock to change it, so there's no contention on the lock in any case. This trivially fixes the bug since we hold one wdev's lock already, and now will hold the lock that protects all lists.

nl80211: validate key indexes for cfg80211_registered_device

2020-12-26T15:02:45+00:00

commit 2d9463083ce92636a1bdd3e30d1236e3e95d859e upstream. syzbot discovered a bug in which an OOB access was being made because an unsuitable key_idx value was wrongly considered to be acceptable while deleting a key in nl80211_del_key(). Since we don't know the cipher at the time of deletion, if cfg80211_validate_key_settings() were to be called directly in nl80211_del_key(), even valid keys would be wrongly determined invalid, and deletion wouldn't occur correctly. For this reason, a new function - cfg80211_valid_key_idx(), has been created, to determine if the key_idx value provided is valid or not. cfg80211_valid_key_idx() is directly called in 2 places - nl80211_del_key(), and cfg80211_validate_key_settings().

cfg80211: initialize wdev data earlier

2020-10-30T09:03:59+00:00

There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available, and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev but using a netdev interface index. I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the change here happened after init. However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a netns move, when data might still be pending.

nl80211/cfg80211: support 6 GHz scanning

2020-09-28T11:53:04+00:00

Support 6 GHz scanning, by * a new scan flag to scan for colocated BSSes advertised by (and found) APs on 2.4 & 5 GHz * doing the necessary reduced neighbor report parsing for this, to find them * adding the ability to split the scan request in case the device by itself cannot support this. Also add some necessary bits in mac80211 to not break with these changes.

cfg80211: fix management registrations deadlock

2020-06-05T07:22:00+00:00

Lockdep reports that we may deadlock because we take the RTNL on the work struct, but flush it under RTNL. Clearly, it's correct. In practice, this can happen when doing rfkill on an active device. Fix this by moving the work struct to the wiphy (registered dev) layer, and iterate over all the wdevs inside there. This then means we need to track which one of them has work to do, so we don't update to the driver for all wdevs all the time. Also fix a locking bug I noticed while working on this - the registrations list is iterated as if it was an RCU list, but it isn't handle that way - and we need to lock now for the update flag anyway, so remove the RCU.

cfg80211: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-27T08:02:03+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.

cfg80211: support multicast RX registration

2020-04-24T10:33:41+00:00

For DPP, there's a need to receive multicast action frames, but many drivers need a special filter configuration for this. Support announcing from userspace in the management registration that multicast RX is required, with an extended feature flag if the driver handles this.

cfg80211: change internal management frame registration API

2020-04-24T10:33:40+00:00

Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter. This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers. Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211 as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and can free things immediately.

cfg80211/mac80211: Allow user space to register for station Rx authentication

2020-02-07T11:54:09+00:00

To support Pre Association Security Negotiation (PASN) while already associated to one AP, allow user space to register to Rx authentication frames, so that the user space logic would be able to receive/handle authentication frames from a different AP as part of PASN. Note that it is expected that user space would intelligently register for Rx authentication frames, i.e., only when PASN is used and configure a match filter only for PASN authentication algorithm, as otherwise the MLME functionality of mac80211 would be broken. Additionally, since some versions of the user space daemons wrongly register to all types of authentication frames (which might result in unexpected behavior) allow such registration if the request is for a specific authentication algorithm number.
