2016-05-12cfg80211: make wdev_list accessible to driversJohannes Berg1-2/+2
There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-04-26cfg80211: Add option to report the bss entry in connect resultKanchanapally, Vidyullatha1-6/+22
Since cfg80211 maintains separate BSS table entries for APs if the same BSSID, SSID pair is seen on multiple channels, it is possible that it can map the current_bss to a BSS entry on the wrong channel. This current_bss will not get flushed unless disconnected and cfg80211 reports a wrong channel as the associated channel. Fix this by introducing a new cfg80211_connect_bss() function which is similar to cfg80211_connect_result(), but it includes an additional parameter: the bss the STA is connected to. This allows drivers to provide the exact bss entry that matches the BSS to which the connection was completed.

2016-04-12cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg1-3/+3
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2016-04-05cfg80211: Allow a scan request for a specific BSSIDJouni Malinen1-0/+2
This allows scans for a specific BSSID to be optimized by the user space application by requesting the driver to set the Probe Request frame BSSID field (Address 3) to the specified BSSID instead of the wildcard BSSID. This prevents other APs from replying which reduces airtime need and latency in getting the response from the target AP through. This is an optimization and as such, it is acceptable for some of the drivers not to support the mechanism. If not supported, the wildcard BSSID will be used and more responses may be received.

2016-02-24cfg80211: basic support for PBSS network typeLior David1-3/+6
PBSS (Personal Basic Service Set) is a new BSS type for DMG networks. It is similar to infrastructure BSS, having an AP-like entity called PCP (PBSS Control Point), but it has few differences. PBSS support is mandatory for 11ad devices. Add support for PBSS by introducing a new PBSS flag attribute. The PBSS flag is used in the START_AP command to request starting a PCP instead of an AP, and in the CONNECT command to request connecting to a PCP instead of an AP.

When user-space has started a critical protocol session and a disconnect event occurs, the rdev::crit_prot_nlportid remains set. This caused a subsequent NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTO_START to fail (-EBUSY). Fix this by clearing the rdev attribute and call .crit_proto_stop() callback upon disconnect event.

2015-05-26cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnectJohannes Berg1-1/+3
When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect(). This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant, for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function. Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at false, which is the current behaviour. For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

2015-03-03cfg80211: add bss_type and privacy arguments in cfg80211_get_bss()Dedy Lansky1-10/+6
802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band. The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP". In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val" no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.) The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

2014-02-06cfg80211: send scan results from work queueJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Due to the previous commit, when a scan finishes, it is in theory possible to hit the following sequence: 1. interface starts being removed 2. scan is cancelled by driver and cfg80211 is notified 3. scan done work is scheduled 4. interface is removed completely, rdev->scan_req is freed, event sent to userspace but scan done work remains pending 5. new scan is requested on another virtual interface 6. scan done work runs, freeing the still-running scan To fix this situation, hang on to the scan done message and block new scans while that is the case, and only send the message from the work function, regardless of whether the scan_req is already freed from interface removal. This makes step 5 above impossible and changes step 6 to be 5. scan done work runs, sending the scan done message As this can't work for wext, so we send the message immediately, but this shouldn't be an issue since we still return -EBUSY.

2013-06-04cfg80211: separate internal SME implementationJohannes Berg1-288/+254
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>

2013-03-24cfg80211: always check for scan end on P2P deviceJohannes Berg1-2/+4
If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by that time. To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed).

2012-11-30cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access racesJohannes Berg1-2/+11
When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the IEs concurrently. Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct that holds the data and length and protecting access to this new struct with RCU. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
