2015-04-09nl80211: ignore HT/VHT capabilities without QoS/WMMJohannes Berg1-0/+10
commit 496fcc294daab18799e190c0264863d653588d1f upstream. As HT/VHT depend heavily on QoS/WMM, it's not a good idea to let userspace add clients that have HT/VHT but not QoS/WMM. Since it does so in certain cases we've observed (client is using HT IEs but not QoS/WMM) just ignore the HT/VHT info at this point and don't pass it down to the drivers which might unconditionally use it.

2015-02-08nl80211: fix per-station group key get/del and memory leakJohannes Berg1-5/+4
commit 0fa7b39131576dd1baa6ca17fca53c65d7f62249 upstream. In case userspace attempts to obtain key information for or delete a unicast key, this is currently erroneously rejected unless the driver sets the WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN flag. Apparently enough drivers do so it was never noticed. Fix that, and while at it fix a potential memory leak: the error path in the get_key() function was placed after allocating a message but didn't free it - move it to a better place. Luckily admin permissions are needed to call this operation.

2014-10-13nl80211: clear skb cb before passing to netlinkJohannes Berg1-0/+3
commit bd8c78e78d5011d8111bc2533ee73b13a3bd6c42 upstream. In testmode and vendor command reply/event SKBs we use the skb cb data to store nl80211 parameters between allocation and sending. This causes the code for CONFIG_NETLINK_MMAP to get confused, because it takes ownership of the skb cb data when the SKB is handed off to netlink, and it doesn't explicitly clear it. Clear the skb cb explicitly when we're done and before it gets passed to netlink to avoid this issue.

2014-02-23nl80211: Reset split_start when netlink skb is exhaustedPontus Fuchs1-1/+2
commit f12cb2893069495726c21a4b0178705dacfecfe0 upstream. When the netlink skb is exhausted split_start is left set. In the subsequent retry, with a larger buffer, the dump is continued from the failing point instead of from the beginning. This was causing my rt28xx based USB dongle to now show up when running "iw list" with an old iw version without split dump support.

This is similar to the race Linus had reported, but in this case it's an older bug: nl80211_prepare_wdev_dump() uses the wiphy index in cb->args[0] as it is and thus parses the message over and over again instead of just once because 0 is the first valid wiphy index.

2013-07-16cfg80211/nl80211: Add packet coalesce supportAmitkumar Karwar1-0/+308
In most cases, host that receives IPv4 and IPv6 multicast/broadcast packets does not do anything with these packets. Therefore the reception of these unwanted packets causes unnecessary processing and power consumption. Packet coalesce feature helps to reduce number of received interrupts to host by buffering these packets in firmware/hardware for some predefined time. Received interrupt will be generated when one of the following events occur. a) Expiration of hardware timer whose expiration time is set to maximum coalescing delay of matching coalesce rule. b) Coalescing buffer in hardware reaches it's limit. c) Packet doesn't match any of the configured coalesce rules. This patch adds set/get configuration support for packet coalesce. User needs to configure following parameters for creating a coalesce rule. a) Maximum coalescing delay b) List of packet patterns which needs to be matched c) Condition for coalescence. pattern 'match' or 'no match' Multiple such rules can be created. This feature needs to be advertised during driver initialization. Drivers are supposed to do required firmware/hardware settings based on user configuration.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-06-19nl80211: fix attrbuf access race by allocating a separate oneJohannes Berg1-2/+9
Since my commit 3713b4e364 ("nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumps"), nl80211_dump_wiphy() uses the global nl80211_fam.attrbuf for parsing the incoming data. This wouldn't be a problem if it only did so on the first dump iteration which is locked against other commands in generic netlink, but due to space constraints in cb->args (the needed state doesn't fit) I decided to always parse the original message. That's racy though since nl80211_fam.attrbuf could be used by some other parsing in generic netlink concurrently. For now, fix this by allocating a separate parse buffer (it's a bit too big for the stack, currently 1448 bytes on 64-bit). For -next, I'll change the code to parse into the global buffer in the first round only and then allocate a smaller buffer to keep the data in cb->args.

2013-06-04cfg80211: separate internal SME implementationJohannes Berg1-4/+1
The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been causing issues for a long time. There are three things that the implementation has to provide: * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect() call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is really just mac80211) and wireless extensions * MLME events for the userspace SME * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all different SME implementation possibilities (driver, cfg80211 and userspace) To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the software SME's connection status outside of it's state (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead, track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the general case only track whether the wdev is connected or not (via wdev->current_bss.) Also separate the internal implementation to not have callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211) calls. This separates the code better. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Virtually all code paths in cfg80211 already (need to) hold the RTNL.

2013-05-25cfg80211: Allow TDLS peer AID to be configured for VHTJouni Malinen1-2/+9
VHT uses peer AID in the PARTIAL_AID field in TDLS frames. The current design for TDLS is to first add a dummy STA entry before completing TDLS Setup and then update information on this STA entry based on what was received from the peer during the setup exchange. In theory, this could use NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID to set the peer AID just like this is used in AP mode to set the AID of an association station. However, existing cfg80211 validation rules prevent this attribute from being used with set_station operation. To avoid interoperability issues between different kernel and user space version combinations, introduce a new nl80211 attribute for the purpose of setting TDLS peer AID. This attribute can be used in both the new_station and set_station operations. It is not supposed to be allowed to change the AID value during the lifetime of the STA entry, but that validation is left for drivers to do in the change_station callback.
