mac80211: do not start any work during reconfigure flow

2019-07-14T06:09:42Z

[ Upstream commit f8891461a277ec0afc493fd30cd975a38048a038 ] It is not a good idea to try to perform any work (e.g. send an auth frame) during reconfigure flow. Prevent this from happening, and at the end of the reconfigure flow requeue all the works.

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

2019-06-25T03:34:55Z

commit 33d915d9e8ce811d8958915ccd18d71a66c7c495 upstream. 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).

mac80211: support max channel switch time element

2019-02-22T12:42:54Z

2018 REVmd of the spec introduces the max channel switch time element which is optionally included in beacons/probes when there is a channel switch / extended channel switch element. The value represents the maximum delay between the time the AP transmitted the last beacon in current channel and the expected time of the first beacon in the new channel, in TU. Parse the value and pass it to the driver. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: call drv_ibss_join() on restart

2019-02-11T14:50:56Z

If a driver does any significant activity in its ibss_join method, then it will very well expect that to be called during restart, before any stations are added. Do that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support multi-bssid

2019-02-08T12:56:37Z

Add support for multi-bssid. This includes: - Parsing multi-bssid element - Overriding DTIM values - Taking into account in various places the inner BSSID instead of transmitter BSSID - Save aside some multi-bssid properties needed by drivers Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: pass bssids to elements parsing function

2019-02-08T12:51:50Z

In multiple BSSID, we have nested IEs inside the multiple BSSID IE, that override the external ones for that specific BSS. As preparation for supporting that, pass 2 BSSIDs to the parse function, the transmitter, and the selected BSSID, so it can know which IEs to choose. If the selected BSSID is NULL, the outer ones will be applied. Change ieee80211_bss_info_update to parse elements itself, instead of receiving them parsed, so we have the relevant bss entry in hand.

mac80211: fix deauth TX when we disconnect

2018-12-05T14:34:59Z

The iTXQs stop/wake queue mechanism involves a whole bunch of locks and this is probably why the call to ieee80211_wake_txqs is deferred to a tasklet when called from __ieee80211_wake_queue. Another advantage of that is that ieee80211_wake_txqs might call the wake_tx_queue() callback and then the driver may call mac80211 which will call it back in the same context. The bug I saw is that when we send a deauth frame as a station we do: flush(drop=1) tx deauth flush(drop=0) While we flush we stop the queues and wake them up immediately after we finished flushing. The problem here is that the tasklet that de-facto enables the queue may not have run until we send the deauth. Then the deauth frame is sent to the driver (which is surprising by itself), but the driver won't get anything useful from ieee80211_tx_dequeue because the queue is stopped (or more precisely because vif->txqs_stopped[0] is true). Then the deauth is not sent. Later on, the tasklet will run, but that'll be too late. We'll already have removed all the vif etc... Fix this by calling ieee80211_wake_txqs synchronously if we are not waking up the queues from the driver (we check the reason to determine that). This makes the code really convoluted because we may call ieee80211_wake_txqs from __ieee80211_wake_queue. The latter assumes that queue_stop_reason_lock has been taken by the caller and ieee80211_wake_txqs may release the lock to send the frames.
