2014-11-19mac80211: add function to create data frame template including keyJohannes Berg1-0/+31
For some TDLS channel switch implementations data frames need to be sent by the firmware based on a template. This template should be created by mac80211, and thus needs to properly be built from an 802.3 frame into an 802.11 frame. In addition, the device will need the key information so the select_key handler needs to be run. However, the driver/device will be responsible for all of the crypto encapsulation, as the sequence numbers etc. cannot be built by the host anyway in this case since it's a template to be used multiple times.

2014-11-04mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode supportRostislav Lisovy1-0/+15
This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion. The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode). New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-09-22 Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time, I have some rate minstrel improvements, support for a very small feature from CCX that Steinar reverse-engineered, dynamic ACK timeout support, a number of changes for TDLS, early support for radio resource measurement and many fixes. Also, I'm changing a number of places to clear key memory when it's freed and Intel claims copyright for code they developed." For the bluetooth bits, Johan says: "Here are some more patches intended for 3.18. Most of them are cleanups or fixes for SMP. The only exception is a fix for BR/EDR L2CAP fixed channels which should now work better together with the L2CAP information request procedure." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I fix here dvm which was broken by my last pull request. Arik continues to work on TDLS and Luca solved a few issues in CT-Kill. Eyal keeps digging into rate scaling code, more to come soon. Besides this, nothing really special here." Beyond that, there are the usual big batches of updates to ath9k, b43, mwifiex, and wil6210 as well as a handful of other bits here and there. Also, rtlwifi gets some btcoexist attention from Larry.

2014-09-12mac80211: Resolve sk_refcnt/sk_wmem_alloc issue in wifi ack pathAlexander Duyck1-11/+4
There is a possible issue with the use, or lack thereof of sk_refcnt and sk_wmem_alloc in the wifi ack status functionality. Specifically if a socket were to request acknowledgements, and the socket were to have sk_refcnt drop to 0 resulting in it waiting on sk_wmem_alloc to reach 0 it would be possible to have sock_queue_err_skb orphan the last buffer, resulting in __sk_free being called on the socket. After this the buffer is enqueued on sk_error_queue, however the queue has already been flushed resulting in at least a memory leak, if not a data corruption.

2014-06-23mac80211: fix station/driver powersave raceJohannes Berg1-2/+4
It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS unblock work like this: * station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver * driver blocks wakeup * station wakes up again * driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules the unblock work * unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set) * we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again * ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake, while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be dropped. Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering, so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done, this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+15
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

2014-02-06mac80211: fix fragmentation code, particularly for encryptionJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

2014-02-04mac80211: only set CSA beacon when at least one beacon must be transmittedLuciano Coelho1-12/+7
A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just before the next beacon. So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is useless. A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action frames or probe_responses. Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa() functions accordingly. With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the switch will happen before the next TBTT. To avoid extra work and potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately, instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish(). To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the next TBTT. Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c, where it makes more sense.

Measure TX latency and jitter statistics per station per TID. These Measurements are disabled by default and can be enabled via debugfs. Features included for each station's TID: 1. Keep count of the maximum and average latency of Tx frames. 2. Keep track of many frames arrived in a specific time range (need to enable through debugfs and configure the bins ranges) Signed-off-by: Matti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-11-25mac80211: add generic cipher scheme supportMax Stepanov1-6/+8
This adds generic cipher scheme support to mac80211, such schemes are fully under control by the driver. On hw registration drivers may specify additional HW ciphers with a scheme how these ciphers have to be handled by mac80211 TX/RR. A cipher scheme specifies a cipher suite value, a size of the security header to be added to or stripped from frames and how the PN is to be verified on RX.

2013-11-25cfg80211: consolidate passive-scan and no-ibss flagsLuis R. Rodriguez1-2/+1
These two flags are used for the same purpose, just combine them into a no-ir flag to annotate no initiating radiation is allowed. Old userspace sending either flag will have it treated as the no-ir flag. To be considerate to older userspace we also send both the no-ir flag and the old no-ibss flags. Newer userspace will have to be aware of older kernels. Update all places in the tree using these flags with the following semantic patch: @@ @@ -NL80211_RRF_PASSIVE_SCAN +NL80211_RRF_NO_IR @@ @@ -NL80211_RRF_NO_IBSS +NL80211_RRF_NO_IR @@ @@ -IEEE80211_CHAN_PASSIVE_SCAN +IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR @@ @@ -IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS +IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR @@ @@ -NL80211_RRF_NO_IR | NL80211_RRF_NO_IR +NL80211_RRF_NO_IR @@ @@ -IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR | IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR +IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR @@ @@ -(NL80211_RRF_NO_IR) +NL80211_RRF_NO_IR @@ @@ -(IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR) +IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR Along with some hand-optimisations in documentation, to remove duplicates and to fix some indentation.

2013-10-28{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement mesh channel switch userspace APIChun-Yeow Yeoh1-0/+16
Implement the required procedures for mesh channel switching as defined in the IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 and also handle the CSA and MCSP elements as followed: * Add the function for updating the beacon and probe response frames with CSA and MCSP elements during the period of switching to the new channel. Both CSA and MCSP elements must be included in beacon and probe response frames until the intended channel switch time. * The ifmsh->csa_settings is set to NULL and the CSA and MCSP elements will then be removed from the beacon or probe response frames once the new channel is switched to.

2013-10-28mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() helper functionFelix Fietkau1-0/+29
This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or ieee80211_nullfunc_get. This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but need rate control information to be prepared first.

2013-09-26mac80211: add support for CSA in IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich1-4/+33
This function adds the channel switch announcement implementation for the IBSS code. It is triggered by userspace (mac80211/cfg) or by external channel switch announcement, which have to be adopted. Both CSAs in beacons and action frames are supported. As for AP mode, the channel switch is applied after some time. However in IBSS mode, the channel switch IEs are generated in the kernel.
