2015-06-02mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookiesJohannes Berg3-55/+90
Even if the pointers are really only accessible to root and used pretty much only by wpa_supplicant, this is still not great; even for debugging it'd be easier to have something that's easier to read and guaranteed to never get reused. With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the mgmt-tx path this becomes possible, only the client probe method needs to also allocate an ack_skb, and we can store the cookie in that skb.

2015-06-02mac80211: copy nl80211 mgmt TX SKB for statusJohannes Berg2-44/+104
When we return the TX status for an nl80211 mgmt TX SKB, we should also return the original frame with the status to allow userspace to match up the submission (it could also use the cookie but both ways are permissible.) As TX SKBs could be encrypted, at least in the case of ANQP while associated with the AP, copy the original SKB, store it with an ACK frame ID and restructure the status path to use that to return status with the original SKB. Otherwise, userspace (in particular wpa_supplicant) will get confused. Reported-by: Matti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-06-02mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key structJohannes Berg7-142/+42
For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct. As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of the internal TKIP state. As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it. This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer share a cacheline.

2015-06-01mac80211: act upon and report deauth while associatingJohannes Berg1-39/+53
When trying to associate, the AP could send a deauth frame instead. Currently mac80211 drops that frame and doesn't report it to the supplicant, which, in some versions and/or in certain circumstances will simply keep trying to associate over and over again instead of trying authentication again. Fix this by reacting to deauth frames while associating, reporting them to the supplicant and dropping the association attempt (which is bound to fail.)

2015-05-29net: rfkill: gpio: make better use of gpiod APIUwe Kleine-König1-14/+10
Since 39b2bbe3d715 (gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions) which appeared in v3.17-rc1, the gpiod_get* functions take an additional parameter that allows to specify direction and initial value for output. Furthermore there is devm_gpiod_get_optional which is designed to get optional gpios. Simplify driver accordingly. Note this makes error checking more strict because only -ENOENT is ignored when searching for the GPIOs which is good.

2015-05-29cfg80211: ignore netif running state when changing iftypeMichal Kazior1-1/+1
It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an unexpected flow causing sdata union to become corrupted. Station pointer was put into sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This led to station entry being later freed as next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid pointer dereference crash. The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr wasn't cleared on interface type changes. This could be reproduced with the following steps: # host A and host B have just booted; no # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down host A> iw wlan0 set type station host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host B> ifconfig wlan0 up host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid host A> pkill hostapd # host A crashed: [ 127.928192] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000006c8 [ 127.929014] IP: [<ffffffff816f4f32>] __sta_info_flush+0xac/0x158 ...

2015-05-29mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruptionMichal Kazior1-0/+3
There was a possible race between ieee80211_reconfig() and ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could result in inability to transmit data if driver crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared. This race was probably never seen in the wild because a device driver would have to crash AND recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely. I was able to prove this race exists after changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below 0. This was harmless but other drivers which actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs appropriately anymore.

2015-05-26cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnectJohannes Berg16-27/+37
When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect(). This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant, for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function. Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at false, which is the current behaviour. For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

2015-05-20mac80211: disconnect TDLS stations on STA CSAArik Nemtsov2-0/+32
When a station does a channel switch, it's not well defined what its TDLS peers would do. Avoid a situation when the local side marks a potentially disconnected peer as a TDLS peer. Keeping peers connected through CSA is doubly problematic with the upcoming TDLS WIDER-BW feature which allows peers to widen the BSS channel. The new channel transitioned-to might not be compatible and would require a re-negotiation anyway. Make sure to disallow new TDLS link during CSA.

2015-05-20mac80211: check fast-xmit on station changeMichal Kazior1-0/+1
Drivers with fast-xmit (e.g. ath10k) running in AP_VLAN setups would fail to communicate with connected 4addr stations. The reason was when new station associates it first goes into master AP interface. It is not until later that a dedicated AP_VLAN is created for it and the station itself is moved there. After that Tx directed at the station should use 4addr header. However fast-xmit wasn't recalculated and 3addr header remained to be used. This in turn caused the connected 4addr stations to drop packets coming from the AP until some other event would cause fast-xmit to recalculate for that station (which could never come).
