wifi: cfg80211: Fix bitrates overflow issue

2022-12-02T16:42:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18429c51c7ff6e6bfd627316c54670230967a7e5 ] When invoking function cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_eht about (320 MHz, EHT-MCS 13, EHT-NSS 2, EHT-GI 0), which means the parameters as flags: 0x80, bw: 7, mcs: 13, eht_gi: 0, nss: 2, this formula (result * rate->nss) will overflow and causes the returned bitrate to be 3959 when it should be 57646. Here is the explanation: u64 tmp; u32 result; … /* tmp = result = 4 * rates_996[0] * = 4 * 480388888 = 0x72889c60 */ tmp = result; /* tmp = 0x72889c60 * 6144 = 0xabccea90000 */ tmp *= SCALE; /* tmp = 0xabccea90000 / mcs_divisors[13] * = 0xabccea90000 / 5120 = 0x8970bba6 */ do_div(tmp, mcs_divisors[rate->mcs]); /* result = 0x8970bba6 */ result = tmp; /* normally (result * rate->nss) = 0x8970bba6 * 2 = 0x112e1774c, * but since result is u32, (result * rate->nss) = 0x12e1774c, * overflow happens and it loses the highest bit. * Then result = 0x12e1774c / 8 = 39595753, */ result = (result * rate->nss) / 8; Signed-off-by: Paul Zhang Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

wifi: cfg80211: fix MCS divisor value

2022-09-27T08:26:55+00:00

The Bitrate for HE/EHT MCS6 is calculated wrongly due to the incorrect MCS divisor value for mcs6. Fix it with the proper value. previous mcs_divisor value = (11769/6144) = 1.915527 fixed mcs_divisor value = (11377/6144) = 1.851725 Fixes: 9c97c88d2f4b ("cfg80211: Add support to calculate and report 4096-QAM HE rates") Signed-off-by: Tamizh Chelvam Raja Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220908181034.9936-1-quic_tamizhr@quicinc.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: clean up links appropriately

2022-07-15T09:43:18+00:00

This was missing earlier, we need to remove links when interfaces are being destroyed, and we also need to stop (AP) operations when a link is being destroyed. Address these issues to remove many warnings that will otherwise appear in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: cfg80211: do some rework towards MLO link APIs

2022-06-20T10:54:58+00:00

In order to support multi-link operation with multiple links, start adding some APIs. The notable addition here is to have the link ID in a new nl80211 attribute, that will be used to differentiate the links in many nl80211 operations. So far, this patch adds the netlink NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID attribute (as well as the NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS attribute) and plugs it through the system in some places, checking the validity etc. along with other infrastructure needed for it. For now, I've decided to include only the over-the-air link ID in the API. I know we discussed that we eventually need to have to have other ways of identifying a link, but for local AP mode and auth/assoc commands as well as set_key etc. we'll use the OTA ID. Also included in this patch is some refactoring of the data structures in struct wireless_dev, splitting for the first time the data into type dependent pieces, to make reasoning about these things easier.

cfg80211/mac80211: assume CHECKSUM_COMPLETE includes SNAP

2022-02-04T15:23:19+00:00

There's currently only one driver that reports CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, that is iwlwifi. The current hardware there calculates checksum after the SNAP header, but only RFC 1042 (and some other cases, but replicating the exact hardware logic for corner cases in the driver seemed awkward.) Newer generations of hardware will checksum _including_ the SNAP, which makes things easier. To handle that, simply always assume the checksum _includes_ the SNAP header, which this patch does, requiring to first add it for older iwlwifi hardware, and then remove it again later on conversion. Alternatively, we could have: 1) Always assumed the checksum starts _after_ the SNAP header; the problem with this is that we'd have to replace the exact "what is the SNAP" check in iwlwifi that cfg80211 has. 2) Made it configurable with some flag, but that seemed like too much complexity.

cfg80211: call cfg80211_stop_ap when switch from P2P_GO type

2021-11-15T09:51:13+00:00

If the userspace tools switch from NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO to NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), it does not call the cleanup cfg80211_stop_ap(), this leads to the initialization of in-use data. For example, this path re-init the sdata->assigned_chanctx_list while it is still an element of assigned_vifs list, and makes that linked list corrupt.
