2014-02-21cfg80211: remove radar requirements check from cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan()Gravatar Luciano Coelho 3-34/+10
We don't have to double check whether the parameters passed to cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan() are correct. We should just make sure they *are* when we call this function. Remove the radar_detect argument check in cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan() to simplify the code.

2014-02-21cfg80211: regulatory: introduce NL80211_RRF_AUTO_BW rule flagGravatar Janusz Dziedzic 3-39/+53
Introduce NL80211_RRF_AUTO_BW rule flag. If this flag set maximum available bandwidth should be calculated base on contiguous rules and wider channels will be allowed to cross multiple contiguous/overlapping frequency ranges. In case of old kernels maximum bandwidth from regulatory rule will be used, while there is no NL80211_RRF_AUTO_BW flag. This fixes the previous commit 9752482083066af7ac18a5ca376f ("cfg80211: regulatory introduce maximum bandwidth calculation") which was found to be a problem for userspace API compatibility.

2014-02-20cfg80211: Pass TDLS peer capability information in tdls_mgmtGravatar Sunil Dutt Undekari 3-8/+20
While framing the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame, the driver needs to know if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable and thus shall construct the VHT/HT operation / WMM parameter elements accordingly. Supplicant determines if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable based on the presence of the respective IEs in the received TDLS Setup Response frame. The host driver should not need to parse the received TDLS Response frame and thus, should be able to rely on the supplicant to indicate the capability of the peer through additional flags while transmitting the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame through tdls_mgmt operations.

2014-02-06cfg80211: send scan results from work queueGravatar Johannes Berg 6-42/+45
Due to the previous commit, when a scan finishes, it is in theory possible to hit the following sequence: 1. interface starts being removed 2. scan is cancelled by driver and cfg80211 is notified 3. scan done work is scheduled 4. interface is removed completely, rdev->scan_req is freed, event sent to userspace but scan done work remains pending 5. new scan is requested on another virtual interface 6. scan done work runs, freeing the still-running scan To fix this situation, hang on to the scan done message and block new scans while that is the case, and only send the message from the work function, regardless of whether the scan_req is already freed from interface removal. This makes step 5 above impossible and changes step 6 to be 5. scan done work runs, sending the scan done message As this can't work for wext, so we send the message immediately, but this shouldn't be an issue since we still return -EBUSY.

2014-02-06cfg80211: fix scan done raceGravatar Johannes Berg 1-4/+10
When an interface/wdev is removed, any ongoing scan should be cancelled by the driver. This will make it call cfg80211, which only queues a work struct. If interface/wdev removal is quick enough, this can leave the scan request pending and processed only after the interface is gone, causing a use-after-free. Fix this by making sure the scan request is not pending after the interface is destroyed. We can't flush or cancel the work item due to locking concerns, but when it'll run it shouldn't find anything to do. This leaves a potential issue, if a new scan gets requested before the work runs, it prematurely stops the running scan, potentially causing another crash. I'll fix that in the next patch. This was particularly observed with P2P_DEVICE wdevs, likely because freeing them is quicker than freeing netdevs. Reported-by: Andrei Otcheretianski <andrei.otcheretianski@intel.com> Fixes: 4a58e7c38443 ("cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2014-02-05cfg80211: regulatory introduce maximum bandwidth calculationGravatar Janusz Dziedzic 3-21/+126
In case we will get regulatory request with rule where max_bandwidth_khz is set to 0 handle this case as a special one. If max_bandwidth_khz == 0 we should calculate maximum available bandwidth base on all frequency contiguous rules. In case we need auto calculation we just have to set: country PL: DFS-ETSI (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20), DFS (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS This mean we will calculate maximum bw for rules where AUTO (N/A) were set, 160MHz (5330 - 5170) in example above. So we will get: (5170 - 5250 @ 160), (N/A, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ 160), (N/A, 20), DFS In other case: country FR: DFS-ETSI (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS (5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS We will get 80MHz (5250 - 5170): (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS Base on this calculations we will set correct channel bandwidth flags (eg. IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_80MHZ). We don't need any changes in CRDA or internal regulatory.

2014-02-04cfg80211: consider existing DFS interfacesGravatar Michal Kazior 8-14/+32
It was possible to break interface combinations in the following way: combo 1: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 2, num_chans = 2, combo 2: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 1, num_chans = 1, radar = HT20 With the above interface combinations it was possible to: step 1. start AP on DFS channel by matching combo 2 step 2. start AP on non-DFS channel by matching combo 1 This was possible beacuse (step 2) did not consider if other interfaces require radar detection.

2014-02-04cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS joinGravatar Antonio Quartulli 4-13/+34
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid only. With the current approach if another cell having the same BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211 picks up the wrong BSS object. The result is a mismatching channel configuration between cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of problem. The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on given channel and then asking the driver to create a new cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency. By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object. All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed accordingly. Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

2014-02-04nl80211: fix scheduled scan RSSI matchset attribute confusionGravatar Johannes Berg 1-9/+61
The scheduled scan matchsets were intended to be a list of filters, with the found BSS having to pass at least one of them to be passed to the host. When the RSSI attribute was added, however, this was broken and currently wpa_supplicant adds that attribute in its own matchset; however, it doesn't intend that to mean that anything that passes the RSSI filter should be passed to the host, instead it wants it to mean that everything needs to also have higher RSSI. This is semantically problematic because we have a list of filters like [ SSID1, SSID2, SSID3, RSSI ] with no real indication which one should be OR'ed and which one AND'ed. To fix this, move the RSSI filter attribute into each matchset. As we need to stay backward compatible, treat a matchset with only the RSSI attribute as a "default RSSI filter" for all other matchsets, but only if there are other matchsets (an RSSI-only matchset by itself is still desirable.) To make driver implementation easier, keep a global min_rssi_thold for the entire request as well. The only affected driver is ath6kl. I found this when I looked into the code after Raja Mani submitted a patch fixing the n_match_sets calculation to disregard the RSSI, but that patch didn't address the semantic issue.

2014-02-04nl80211: send event when AP operation is stoppedGravatar Johannes Berg 3-0/+32
There are a few cases, e.g. suspend, where an AP interface is stopped by the kernel rather than by userspace request, most commonly when suspending. To let userspace know about this, send the NL80211_CMD_STOP_AP command as an event every time an AP interface is stopped. This also happens when userspace did in fact request the AP stop, but that's not a problem. For full-MAC drivers this may need to be extended to also cover cases where the device stopped the AP operation for some reason, this a bit more complicated because then all cfg80211 state also needs to be reset; such API is not part of this patch.

2014-02-04cfg80211: Allow BSS hint to be provided for connectGravatar Jouni Malinen 1-0/+13
This clarifies the expected driver behavior on the older NL80211_ATTR_MAC and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ attributes and adds a new set of similar attributes with _HINT postfix to enable use of a recommendation of the initial BSS to choose. This can be helpful for some drivers that can avoid an additional full scan on connection request if the information is provided to them (user space tools like wpa_supplicant already has that information available based on earlier scans). In addition, this can be used to get more expected behavior for cases where a specific BSS should be picked first based on operations like Interworking network selection or WPS. These cases were already easily addressed with drivers that leave BSS selection to user space, but there was no convenient way to do this with drivers that take care of BSS selection internally without using the NL80211_ATTR_MAC which is not really desired since it is needed for other purposes to force the association to remain with the same BSS.

2013-12-05cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scansGravatar Eliad Peller 3-30/+8
___cfg80211_scan_done() can be called in some cases (e.g. on NETDEV_DOWN) before the low level driver notified scan completion (which is indicated by passing leak=true). Clearing rdev->scan_req in this case is buggy, as scan_done_wk might have already being queued/running (and can't be flushed as it takes rtnl()). If a new scan will be requested at this stage, the scan_done_wk will try freeing it (instead of the previous scan), and this will later result in a use after free. Simply remove the "leak" option, and replace it with a standard WARN_ON.

2013-12-05cfg80211: stop sched scan only when neededGravatar Barak Bercovitz 1-1/+4
cfg80211_leave stops sched scan when any station vif is leaving. Add an explicit check and call it only when the relevant vif (the one we scan on) is leaving.
