| * mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta againMichael Braun2014-03-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit de74a1d9032f4d37ea453ad2a647e1aff4cd2591 "mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta" fixed an issue where queued multicast packets would be sent out encrypted with the key of an other bss. commit "7cbf9d017dbb5e3276de7d527925d42d4c11e732" "mac80211: fix oops on mesh PS broadcast forwarding" essentially reverted it, because vif.type cannot be AP_VLAN due to the check to vif.type in ieee80211_get_buffered_bc before. As the later commit intended to fix the MESH case, fix it by checking for IFTYPE_AP instead of IFTYPE_AP_VLAN.

| * mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach2014-02-201-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

| * mac80211: fix fragmentation code, particularly for encryptionJohannes Berg2014-02-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

* | mac80211: fix bufferable MMPDU RX handlingJohannes Berg2014-02-041-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Action, disassoc and deauth frames are bufferable, and as such don't have the PM bit in the frame control field reserved which means we need to react to the bit when receiving in such a frame. Fix this by introducing a new helper ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu() and using it for the RX path that currently ignores the PM bit in any non-data frames for doze->wake transitions, but listens to it in all frames for wake->doze transitions, both of which are wrong. Also use the new helper in the TX path to clean up the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* | mac80211: only set CSA beacon when at least one beacon must be transmittedLuciano Coelho2014-02-041-12/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just before the next beacon. So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is useless. A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action frames or probe_responses. Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa() functions accordingly. With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the switch will happen before the next TBTT. To avoid extra work and potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately, instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish(). To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the next TBTT. Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c, where it makes more sense.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh beacon". mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() was assuming that the beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to the driver. Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}()) for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a little prettier than iterating over the elements to find the meshconf IE every time.

| * mac80211: fix CTS protection handlingFelix Fietkau2013-04-161-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rates[0] CTS and RTS flags are only set after rate control has been called, so minstrel cannot use them to for setting the number of retries. This patch adds two new flags to explicitly indicate RTS/CTS use. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * mac80211: fix and optimize MCS mask handlingFelix Fietkau2013-04-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the code always copies the configured MCS mask (even if it is set to default), but only uses it if legacy rates were also masked out. Fix this by adding a flag that tracks whether the configured MCS mask is set to default or not. Optimize the code further by storing a pointer to the configured rate mask in txrc instead of using memcpy.

| * mac80211: fix rate control tx handler for VHT ratesKarl Beldan2013-04-161-14/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handle VHT rates like HT ones, otherwise we easily trigger the pre-HT rates WARN_ON(rc_rate->idx >= sband->n_bitrates) which will set rc_rate->idx to -1.

| * mac80211: always pick a basic rate to tx RTS/CTS for pre-HT ratesKarl Beldan2013-04-111-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the data rate"(code comments). But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its 1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic rate index. This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in this situation. Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel, nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local.

Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field are Ethernet II. Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and I could find to use the new constant. Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN should be >= not >. As suggested by Jesse Gross. Compile tested only.
