{nl,mac}80211: fix interface combinations on crypto controlled devices

2019-08-29T06:30:06Z

[ Upstream commit e6f4051123fd33901e9655a675b22aefcdc5d277 ] Commit 33d915d9e8ce ("{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled devices") has introduced a change which allows 4addr operation on crypto controlled devices (ex: ath10k). This change has inadvertently impacted the interface combinations logic on such devices. General rule is that software interfaces like AP/VLAN should not be listed under supported interface combinations and should not be considered during validation of these combinations; because of the aforementioned change, AP/VLAN interfaces(if present) will be checked against interfaces supported by the device and blocks valid interface combinations. Consider a case where an AP and AP/VLAN are up and running; when a second AP device is brought up on the same physical device, this AP will be checked against the AP/VLAN interface (which will not be part of supported interface combinations of the device) and blocks second AP to come up. Add a new API cfg80211_iftype_allowed() to fix the problem, this API works for all devices with/without SW crypto control.

Pull still more SPDX updates from Greg KH: "Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6 Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now. Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are: Files checked: 64545 Files with SPDX: 45529 Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was: Files checked: 63848 Files with SPDX: 22576 This is a huge improvement.

{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled devices

2019-05-24T09:26:54Z

As per the current design, in the case of sw crypto controlled devices, it is the device which advertises the support for AP/VLAN iftype based on it's ability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software (In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff ("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices") has introduced this change. Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality. In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are also blocked. Fix this by allowing 4addr operation on devices which do not support AP/VLAN iftype but can support 4addr AP operation (decision is based on the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).

cfg80211: add support to probe unexercised mesh link

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

Adding support to allow mesh HWMP to measure link metrics on unexercised direct mesh path by sending some data frames to other mesh points which are not currently selected as a primary traffic path but only 1 hop away. The absence of the primary path to the chosen node makes it necessary to apply some form of marking on a chosen packet stream so that the packets can be properly steered to the selected node for testing, and not by the regular mesh path lookup.

cfg80211: don't pass pointer to pointer unnecessarily

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

The cfg80211_merge_profile() and ieee802_11_find_bssid_profile() are a bit cleaner if we just pass the merged_ie pointer instead of a pointer to the pointer. This isn't a functional change, it's just a clean up. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: Add support to set tx power for a station associated

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP. The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit power level, with the level defined in dBm format.

cfg80211: support profile split between elements

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

Since an element is limited to 255 octets, a profile may be split split to several elements. Support the split as defined in the 11ax draft 3. Detect legacy split and print a net-rate limited warning, since there is no ROI in supporting this probably non-existent split.
