2015-04-08cfg80211: don't allow disabling WEXT if it's requiredJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The change to only export WEXT symbols when required could break the build if CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT was explicitly disabled while a driver like orinoco selected it. Fix this by hiding the symbol when it's required so it can't be disabled in that case.

2015-03-30cfg80211: pass name_assign_type to rdev_add_virtual_intf()Tom Gundersen2-3/+5
This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be able to reliably tell the difference.

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c net/core/sysctl_net_core.c net/ipv4/inet_diag.c The be_main.c conflict resolution was really tricky. The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully. The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As HT/VHT depend heavily on QoS/WMM, it's not a good idea to let userspace add clients that have HT/VHT but not QoS/WMM. Since it does so in certain cases we've observed (client is using HT IEs but not QoS/WMM) just ignore the HT/VHT info at this point and don't pass it down to the drivers which might unconditionally use it.

Timeout was scheduled only in case CRDA was called due to user hints, but was not scheduled for other cases.

2015-03-06cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory settingIlan peer3-6/+85
Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic as: - It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to invalidate the setting. - A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g., it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still stays indoor. To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that: 1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command to state that it is going to control the indoor setting. 2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in case it is not owned by a user space process. Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can indicate environment changes to the regulatory core. It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment -- while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs typically can contain bogus data.

2015-03-04nl80211: prohibit mixing 'any' and regular wowlan triggersJohannes Berg1-0/+22
If the device supports waking up on 'any' signal - i.e. it continues operating as usual and wakes up the host on pretty much anything that happens, then it makes no sense to also configure the more restricted WoWLAN mode where the device operates more autonomously but also in a more restricted fashion. Currently only cw2100 supports both 'any' and other triggers, but it seems to be broken as it doesn't configure anything to the device, so we can't currently get into a situation where both even can correctly be configured. This is about to change (Intel devices are going to support both and have different behaviour depending on configuration) so make sure the conflicting modes cannot be configured. (It seems that cw2100 advertises 'any' and 'disconnect' as a means of saying that's what it will always do, but that isn't really the way this API was meant to be used nor does it actually mean anything as 'any' always implies 'disconnect' already, and the driver doesn't change device configuration in any way depending on the settings.)

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band. The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP". In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val" no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.) The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

When using the wext compatibility code in cfg80211, part of the IEs can be truncated if the passed user buffer is large enough for part of the BSS but not large enough for all of the IEs.

2015-02-28nl/mac80211: allow zero plink timeout to disable STA expirationMasashi Honma1-1/+1
Both wpa_supplicant and mac80211 have and inactivity timer. By default wpa_supplicant will be timed out in 5 minutes and mac80211's it is 30 minutes. If wpa_supplicant uses a longer timer than mac80211, it will get unexpected disconnection by mac80211. Using 0xffffffff instead as the configured value could solve this w/o changing the code, but due to integer overflow in the expression used this doesn't work. The expression is: (current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250) On 32bit system, the right side would overflow and be a very small value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large, causing unexpectedly early disconnections. Instead allow disabling the inactivity timer to avoid this situation, by passing the (previously invalid and useless) value 0.

2015-02-28cfg80211-wext: export symbols only when neededJohannes Berg4-11/+25
When a fully converted cfg80211 driver needs cfg80211-wext for userspace API purposes, the symbols need not be exported. When other drivers (orinoco/hermes or ipw2200) are enabled, they do need the symbols exported as they use them directly. Make those drivers select a new CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT Kconfig symbol (instead of just CFG80211_WEXT) and export the functions only if requested - this saves about 1/2k due to the size of EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself.

2015-01-18netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() voidJohannes Berg1-9/+18
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb. This makes the very common pattern of if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... } be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do return nlmsg_end(...); and the caller is expected to deal with it. This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very common to write if (my_function(...)) /* error condition */ and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong. Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there. Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did - return nlmsg_end(...); + nlmsg_end(...); + return 0; I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more efficient version. One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time. I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

2015-01-16cfg80211: fix checking nl80211_send_station() return valueJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The return value from nl80211_send_station() is the length of the skb, or a negative error, so abort sending the message only when the return value was negative. This fixes the ibss_rsn wpa_supplicant test case. Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next Here's a big pile of changes for this round. We have * a lot of regulatory code changes to deal with the way newer Intel devices handle this * a change to drop packets while disconnecting from an AP instead of trying to wait for them * a new attempt at improving the tailroom accounting to not kick in too much for performance reasons * improvements in wireless link statistics * many other small improvements and small fixes that didn't seem necessary for 3.19 (e.g. in hwsim which is testing only code) Conflicts: drivers/staging/rtl8723au/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c Minor overlapping changes.

2015-01-15cfg80211: change bandwidth reporting to explicit fieldJohannes Berg2-17/+47
For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different bandwidths at the same time. Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field for the bandwidth ('bw') instead. While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate, but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them. In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-15cfg80211: remove 80+80 MHz rate reportingJohannes Berg2-5/+1
These rates are treated the same as 160 MHz in the spec, so it makes no sense to distinguish them. As no driver uses them yet, this is also not a problem, just remove them. In the userspace API the field remains reserved to preserve API and ABI. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-14nl80211: send netdetect configuration info in NL80211_CMD_GET_WOWLANLuciano Coelho1-0/+52
Send the netdetect configuration information in the response to NL8021_CMD_GET_WOWLAN commands. This includes the scan interval, SSIDs to match and frequencies to scan. Additionally, add the NL80211_WOWLAN_TRIG_NET_DETECT with NL80211_ATTR_WOWLAN_TRIGGERS_SUPPORTED.
