wifi: mac80211: simplify non-chanctx drivers

2024-02-08T11:58:32Z

There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the channel context handling.

wifi: p54: fix GCC format truncation warning with wiphy->fw_version

2024-01-11T10:54:04Z

GCC 13.2 warns: drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/fwio.c:128:34: warning: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 39 bytes into a region of size 32 [-Wformat-truncation=] drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/fwio.c:128:33: note: directive argument in the range [0, 16777215] drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/fwio.c:128:33: note: directive argument in the range [0, 255] drivers/net/wireless/intersil/p54/fwio.c:127:17: note: 'snprintf' output between 7 and 52 bytes into a destination of size 32 The issue here is that wiphy->fw_version is 32 bytes and in theory the string we try to place there can be 39 bytes. wiphy->fw_version is used for providing the firmware version to user space via ethtool, so not really important. fw_version in theory can be 24 bytes but in practise it's shorter, so even if print only 19 bytes via ethtool there should not be any practical difference. I did consider removing fw_var from the string altogether or making the maximum length for fw_version 19 bytes, but chose this approach as it was the least intrusive. Compile tested only.

wifi: remove orphaned orinoco driver

2023-10-30T17:29:52Z

Orinoco is a PIO-only ISA/PCMCIA 802.11b device with extra bus interface connections for PCI/Cardbus/mini-PCI and a few pre-2002 Apple PowerMac variants. It supports both wireless extensions and CFG80211, but I could not tell if it requires using both. This device used to be one of the most common ones 20 years ago, but has been orphaned for most of the time since then, and the conversion to cfg80211 has stalled in 2010.

wifi: remove obsolete hostap driver

2023-10-30T17:29:52Z

HostAP is an ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver supporting only wireless extensions, and some custom ioctls (already removed). Some devices include a legacy PCI bridge but no DMA. The driver was marked obsolete in 2016 and is highly unlikely to still have any users. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

2023-10-12T12:12:11Z

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). Add __counted_by for struct p54_cal_database. Cc: Christian Lamparter Cc: Kalle Valo Cc: "Gustavo A. R.

2023-10-11T09:20:12Z

Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded version, to calculate the size for the allocation of the whole flexible structure, including of course, the flexible-array member. This code was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and fixed manually. Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.

Fix nomenclature for USB and PCI wireless devices

2023-08-25T09:56:49Z

A mouse that uses a USB connection is called a "USB mouse" device (or "USB mouse" for short), not a "mouse USB" device. By analogy, a WiFi adapter that connects to the host computer via USB is a "USB wireless" device, not a "wireless USB" device. (The latter term more properly refers to a defunct Wireless USB specification, which described a technology for sending USB protocol messages over an ultra wideband radio link.) Similarly for a WiFi adapter card that plugs into a PCIe slot: It is a "PCIe wireless" device, not a "wireless PCIe" device. Rephrase the text in the kernel source where the word ordering is wrong.
