nl80211: Fix potential memory leak from parse_acl_data

2015-12-09T19:34:22Z

commit 4baf6bea37247e59f1971e8009d13aeda95edba2 upstream. If parse_acl_data succeeds but the subsequent parsing of smps attributes fails, there will be a memory leak due to early returns. Fix that by moving the ACL parsing later.

cfg80211: regulatory: restore proper user alpha2

2015-09-04T12:29:25Z

restore_regulatory_settings() should restore alpha2 as computed in restore_alpha2(), not raw user_alpha2 to behave as described in the comment just above that code. This fixes endless loop of calling CRDA for "00" and "97" countries after resume from suspend on my laptop. Looks like others had the same problem, too: http://ath9k-devel.ath9k.narkive.com/knY5W6St/ath9k-and-crda-messages-in-logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/899335 https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?t=4975&p=36436 https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/483356-Authentication-Regulatory-Domain-issues-ath5k-12-2 Signed-off-by: Maciej Szmigiero Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: Allow setting multicast rate on OCB interfaces

2015-08-14T15:49:48Z

Allow setting multicast rate on OCB interfaces. Current behaviour results in EOPNOTSUPP when attempting this. Signed-off-by: Bertold Van den Bergh Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: propagate set_wiphy failure to userspace

2015-08-14T15:49:47Z

If driver failed to setup wiphy params (e.g. rts threshold, fragmentation treshold) userspace wasn't properly notified about this. This could lead to user confusion who would think the command succeeded even if that wasn't the case. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: regulatory: handle 5 and 10 MHz channels properly

2015-08-14T15:48:46Z

The original assumption of 20MHz wide channels hasn't been true since the addition of support for 5 and 10 MHz channels. Change the code to no longer disable all channels that don't fit into the 20MHz grid, but instead set the appropriate flags to disable operation on specific bandwidths.

Merge branch 'mac80211' into mac80211-next

2015-07-17T13:39:41Z

This is necessary to merge the new TDLS and mesh patches, as they depend on some fixes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wireless: remove superfluous if statement in regulatory code

2015-07-17T13:38:27Z

Commit eeca9fce1d71 ('cfg80211: Schedule timeout for all CRDA calls') left behind a superfluous check after it removed some earlier code. In reg_process_hint, the test of "treatment == REG_REQ_IGNORE || treatment == REG_REQ_ALREADY_SET" is superfluous because the code in the if-then branch is identical to the code after the if statement. Coverity CID #1295939 I also removed the unnecessary assignment of treatment in this case, and added a comment reminding any future patch authors to ensure that treatment is properly assigned before it is used after the switch.

cfg80211: allow mgmt_frame_register callback to sleep

2015-07-17T13:38:26Z

This callback is currently not allowed to sleep, which makes it more difficult to implement proper driver methods in mac80211 than it has to be. Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback. While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit unregistration when an interface is removed, and do that also when a P2P-Device wdev is destroyed (otherwise we leak the structs.)

cfg80211: use RTNL locked reg_can_beacon for IR-relaxation

2015-07-17T13:02:02Z

The RTNL is required to check for IR-relaxation conditions that allow more channels to beacon. Export an RTNL locked version of reg_can_beacon and use it where possible in AP/STA interface type flows, where IR-relaxation may be applicable.

wireless: regulatory: reduce log level of CRDA related messages

2015-07-17T12:37:23Z

With a basic Linux userspace, the messages "Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain" appears 10 times after boot every second or so, followed by a final "Exceeded CRDA call max attempts. Not calling CRDA". For those of us not having the corresponding userspace parts, having those messages repeatedly displayed at boot time is a bit annoying, so this commit reduces their log level to pr_debug().
