{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).

cfg80211: fix memory leak of wiphy device name

2019-06-25T03:34:55Z

commit 4f488fbca2a86cc7714a128952eead92cac279ab upstream. In wiphy_new_nm(), if an error occurs after dev_set_name() and device_initialize() have already been called, it's necessary to call put_device() (via wiphy_free()) to avoid a memory leak.

cfg80211: pmsr: fix abort locking

2019-02-06T09:38:00Z

When we destroy the interface we already hold the wdev->mtx while calling cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down(), which assumes this isn't true and flushes the worker that takes the lock, thus leading to a deadlock. Fix this by refactoring the worker and calling its code in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() directly. We still need to flush the work later to make sure it's not still running and will crash, but it will not do anything.

nl80211: announce radios/interfaces when switching namespaces

2018-11-09T10:21:10Z

When a wiphy changes its namespace, all interfaces are moved to the new namespace as well. The network interfaces are properly announced as leaving on the old and as appearing on the new namespace through RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_DELLINK. On nl80211, however, these events are missing for radios and their interfaces. Add netlink announcements through nl80211 when switching namespaces, so userspace can rely on these events to discover radios properly. Signed-off-by: Martin Willi Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM initiator API

2018-11-09T10:20:13Z

Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig. The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform. Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final complete message. Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running measurement. v3: - add a bit to report "final" for partial results - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results to the requester (big code reduction ...) - also send complete message unicast, and as a result remove the multicast group - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer - document timeout == 0 if no timeout - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0, must not include attribute for no timeout - make MAC address randomization optional - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather rather than the old default of 15==don't care) v4: - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation v5: - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst" v6: - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any pending measurements v7: - wording fixes (Lior) - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior) v8: - copyright statements - minor coding style fixes - fix error path leak Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: unify sending NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE

2018-10-02T07:58:57Z

There isn't really any need for us to be sending this from two different places - move cfg80211_init_wdev() later and send the notification from there, removing it from the non- netdev case. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: combine wdev/netdev unregister code

2018-10-02T07:58:51Z

We currently have two places that do similar things, depending on whether it's a wdev with or without netdev. Combine the code to avoid having to duplicate all new additions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: combine duplicate wdev init code

Small merge conflict in net/mac80211/scan.c, I preserved the kcalloc() conversion. -DaveM Johannes Berg says: ==================== This round's updates: * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns out to be small - but everything kept changing, so one part I did in the driver was >30 patches for what was ultimately <200 lines of code ... similar here for this code. * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as reducing the probe request element content * rfkill cleanups * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd * various other cleanups ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
