wifi: cfg80211: Add missing lock in cfg80211_check_and_end_cac()

[ Upstream commit 2c5dee15239f3f3e31aa5c8808f18996c039e2c1 ] Callers of wdev_chandef() must hold the wiphy mutex. But the worker cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk() never takes the lock.

wifi: cfg80211: allow IR in 20 MHz configurations

2025-05-29T09:02:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf4bd1608882792d4742e27a819493312904a680 ] Some regulatory bodies doesn't allow IR (initiate radioation) on a specific subband, but allows it for channels with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. Add a channel flag that indicates that, and consider it in cfg80211_reg_check_beaconing. While on it, fix the kernel doc of enum nl80211_reg_rule_flags and change it to use BIT().

wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking

2025-03-13T12:01:57+00:00

commit 59b348be7597c4a9903cb003c69e37df20c04a30 upstream. Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be rejected. While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory: reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases, there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons. 1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain. For instance, greek letters will also be considered upper/lower letters and for such characters isalpha() will return true as well. However, ISO-3166-1 alpha2 codes should only hold latin characters. 2) While processing a user regulatory request, between reg_process_hint_user() and regulatory_hint_user() there happens to be a call to queue_regulatory_request() which modifies letters in request->alpha2[] with toupper(). This works fine for latin symbols, less so for weird letter characters from the second part of _ctype[]. Syzbot triggers a warning in is_user_regdom_saved() by first sending over an unexpected non-latin letter that gets malformed by toupper() into a character that ends up failing isalpha() check. Prevent this by enhancing is_an_alpha2() to ensure that incoming symbols are latin letters and nothing else.

wifi: cfg80211: handle DFS per link

2024-09-06T11:01:05+00:00

Currently, during starting a radar detection, no link id information is parsed and passed down. In order to support starting radar detection during Multi Link Operation, it is required to pass link id as well. Add changes to first parse and then pass link id in the start radar detection path. Additionally, update notification APIs to allow drivers/mac80211 to pass the link ID. However, everything is handled at link 0 only until all API's are ready to handle it per link.

wifi: cfg80211: move DFS related members to links[] in wireless_dev

2024-09-06T11:01:05+00:00

A few members related to DFS handling are currently under per wireless device data structure. However, in order to support DFS with MLO, there is a need to have them on a per-link manner. Hence, as a preliminary step, move members cac_started, cac_start_time and cac_time_ms to be on a per-link basis. Since currently, link ID is not known at all places, use default value of 0 for now.

wifi: cfg80211: add regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation

2024-06-12T11:04:25+00:00

Add a regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation even on channels otherwise marked NO_IR, which may be possible in some regulatory domains/countries. Note that this requires checking also when the beacon is changed, since that may change the regulatory power type.
