2013-11-25cfg80211: check regulatory request alpha2 earlyLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+3
Currently nl80211 allows userspace to send the kernel a bogus regulatory domain with at most 32 rules set and it won't reject it until after its allocated memory. Let's be smart about it and take advantage that the last_request is now available under RTNL and check if the alpha2 matches an expected request and reject any bogus userspace requests prior to hitting the memory allocator.

2013-11-25cfg80211/mac80211: DFS setup chandef for cac eventJanusz Dziedzic1-2/+2
To report channel width correctly we have to send correct channel parameters from mac80211 when calling cfg80211_cac_event(). This is required in case of using channel width higher than 20MHz and we have to set correct dfs channel state after CAC (NL80211_DFS_AVAILABLE).

2013-11-25cfg80211: don't allow drivers to unset NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSHJohannes Berg1-8/+4
As the flag is entirely implemented in cfg80211, it should have been a global feature flag (which I believe didn't exist at the time). However, there's no reason to allow drivers to unset the flag, so don't allow it and remove the validation of NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

These two flags are used for the same purpose, just combine them into a no-ir flag to annotate no initiating radiation is allowed. Old userspace sending either flag will have it treated as the no-ir flag. To be considerate to older userspace we also send both the no-ir flag and the old no-ibss flags. Newer userspace will have to be aware of older kernels.

2013-11-20genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuseJohannes Berg1-75/+54
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead of passing the global group ID to the various functions that send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most families that's just 0 because the only have one group. This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new field for the mcast group ID offset to the family. At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now check that a family only uses a group it owns.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops() a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the macro, this is a little safer. The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

2013-10-28nl80211/cfg80211: enable DFS for IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich1-2/+6
To use DFS in IBSS mode, userspace is required to react to radar events. It can inform nl80211 that it is capable of doing so by adding a NL80211_ATTR_HANDLE_DFS attribute when joining the IBSS. This attribute is supplied to let the kernelspace know that the userspace application can and will handle radar events, e.g. by intiating channel switches to a valid channel. DFS channels may only be used if this attribute is supplied and the driver supports it. Driver support will be checked even if a channel without DFS will be initially joined, as a DFS channel may be chosen later.

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.
