* cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access racesJohannes Berg2012-11-301-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* cfg80211: change function signature of cfg80211_get_p2p_attr()Arend van Spriel2012-11-261-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The function cfg80211_get_p2p_attr() can fail and returns a negative error code. However, the return type is unsigned int. The largest positive number is determined by desired_len variable in the function, which is u16. So changing the return type to int to allow easy error checking. Also change the type for the attribute to enum for improved type checking.

* wireless: add utility function to get P2P attributeJohannes Berg2012-11-061-0/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | Parsing the P2P attributes can be tricky as their contents can be split across multiple (vendor) IEs. Thus, it's not possible to parse them like IEs (by returning a pointer to the data.) Instead, provide a function that copies the attribute data into a caller-provided buffer and returns the size needed (useful in case the buffer was too small.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of places in the mesh code don't check that the frame data is present and in the skb header when trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data that doesn't actually exist. To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be able to use it in mac80211.

| * cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg2012-08-201-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To call cfg80211_get_chan_state() we need to lock the wdev, so we need to lock the wdev_iter mutex in cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to support a P2P device abstraction and Bluetooth high-speed AMPs, we need to have a way to identify virtual interfaces that don't have a netdev associated. Do this by adding a NL80211_ATTR_WDEV attribute to identify a wdev which may or may not also be a netdev. To simplify things, use a 64-bit value with the high 32 bits being the wiphy index for this new wdev identifier in the nl80211 API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If only monitor interfaces become present it is called with 2nd argument being true. If non-monitor interface appears then 2nd argument is false. Driver is notified only upon change. This makes it more obvious about the fact that cfg80211 supports single monitor channel. Once we implement multi-channel we don't want to allow setting monitor channel while other interface types are running.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is quite possible to run into a race in bss timeout where the drivers see the bss entry just before notifying cfg80211 of a roaming event but it got timed out by the time rdev->event_work got scehduled from cfg80211_wq. This would result in the following WARN-ON() along with the failure to notify the user space of the roaming. The other situation which is happening with ath6kl that runs into issue is when the driver reports roam to same AP event where the AP bss entry already got expired.

* cfg80211: allow userspace to control supported rates in scanJohannes Berg2011-07-191-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some P2P scans are not allowed to advertise 11b rates, but that is a rather special case so instead of having that, allow userspace to request the rate sets (per band) that are advertised in scan probe request frames. Since it's needed in two places now, factor out some common code parsing a rate array. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* cfg80211: Use consistent BSS matching between scan and smeJouni Malinen2011-05-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss() calls. Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

* cfg80211: make stripping of 802.11 header optional from AMSDUYogesh Ashok Powar2011-05-161-8/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the devices that have already stripped IEEE 802.11 header from the AMSDU SKB can not use ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s routine. This patch enhances ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() API by changing mandatory removing of IEEE 802.11 header from AMSDU to optional.

* cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinationsJohannes Berg2011-05-161-0/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* cfg80211: restrict AP beacon intervalsJohannes Berg2011-05-121-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multiple virtual AP interfaces can currently try to use different beacon intervals, but that just leads to problems since it won't actually be done that way by drivers. Return an error in this case to make sure it won't be done wrong. Also, ignore attempts to change the DTIM period or beacon interval during the lifetime of the BSS.

* cfg80211: Allow non-zero indexes for device specific pair-wise ciphersJuuso Oikarinen2011-01-281-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some vendor specific cipher suites require non-zero key indexes for pairwise keys, but as of currently, the cfg80211 does not allow it. As validating they cipher parameters for vendor specific cipher suites is the job of the driver or hardware/firmware, change the cfg80211 to allow also non-zero pairwise key indexes for vendor specific ciphers.

* cfg80211: Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11jBruno Randolf2011-01-211-14/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility) we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14. This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in 802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted. The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes: iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx. The drivers have been compile-tested only.
