If a P2P GO was allowed on a channel because of the GO concurrent
relaxation, i.e., another station interface was associated to an AP on
the same channel or the same UNII band, and the station interface
disconnected from the AP, allow the following use cases unless the
channel is marked as indoor only and the device is not operating in an
indoor environment:
1. Allow the P2P GO to stay on its current channel. The rationale behind
this is that if the channel or UNII band were allowed by the AP they
could still be used to continue the P2P GO operation, and avoid connection
breakage.
2. Allow another P2P GO to start on the same channel or another channel
that is in the same UNII band as the previous instantiated P2P GO.

Currently, a cipher scheme can advertise an arbitrarily long
sequence counter, but mac80211 only supports up to 16 bytes
and the initial value from userspace will be truncated.
Fix two things:
* don't allow the driver to register anything longer than
the 16 bytes that mac80211 reserves space for
* require userspace to specify a starting value with the
correct length (or none at all)

When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still
call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the
assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT)
ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.)
In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation
and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for
throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED.
Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only
used once in the remaining code.

Remove items that can be retrieved through nl80211. This also
removes two items (tx_packets and tx_bytes) where only the VO
counter was exposed since they are split up per AC but in the
debugfs file only the first AC was shown.
Also remove the useless "dev" file - the stations have long
been in a sub-directory of the netdev so there's no need for
that any more.

This counter is unsafe with concurrent TX and is only exposed
through debugfs and ethtool. Instead of trying to fix it just
remove it for now, if it's really needed then it should be
exposed through nl80211 and in a way that drivers that do the
fragmentation in the device could support it as well.

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's
very little point in maintaining them all the time. However,
even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're
not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even
concurrency safe.
Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally
not even compiled in.

Currently while associated to an AP and sending a (public) action
frame to a different AP on the same channel, the action frame will
be sent like a regular tx frame without going off channel.
When power save is enabled this can cause problems, since the device
can go into power save and miss the response to the action frame
that is sent by the other AP.
Force off-channel transmission to avoid this issue in case
- HW offchannel is used,
- the user didn't forbid transmitting frames off channel
- the frame is not sent to the AP that we are associated with
(if it is we assume the response would be bufferable)

When frames time out in the reordering buffer, it is a

When we receive a BAR, this typically means that our peer
doesn't hear our Block-Acks or that we can't hear its
frames. Either way, it is a good indication that the link
is in a bad condition. This is why it can serve as a probe
to the driver.
Use the event_callback callback for this.
Since more events with the same data will be added in the
feature, the structure that describes the data attached to
the event is called in a generic name: ieee80211_ba_event.
This also means that from now on, the event_callback can't
sleep.

wpa_supplicant or authsae handles the mesh peering in user
space, but the plink state is still managed in kernel space.
Currently, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or
authsae to block the plink state after it is set to ESTAB.
By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set
<MAC address> plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA.

If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
that being possible.)
However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().
Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
code in mac80211 at all anyway.

When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number
of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the
checksum to be calculated already.
In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call
to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it
once before the regular TX processing.
Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers
since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous
commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases.
For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be
programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting
frames with a bad checksum.

In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be

Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.
In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
can cause firmware crashes.
Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
data structures the algorithms maintain.
I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
client. With this change, the system survives this test.

When you redirect a VLAN device to any device, you end up with
crap in af_packet on the xmit path because hard_header_len is
not equal to skb->mac_len. So the redirected packet contains
four extra bytes at the start which then gets interpreted as
part of the MAC address.
This patch fixes this by only pushing skb->mac_len. We also
need to fix ifb because it tries to undo the pushing done by

2) Some TCP Congestion Control modules provide information

For the short-term solution, lets fix bpf helper functions to use
skb->mac_header relative offsets instead of skb->data in order to
get the same eBPF programs with cls_bpf and act_bpf work on ingress
and egress qdisc path. We need to ensure that mac_header is set
before calling into programs. This is effectively the first option
from below referenced discussion.
More long term solution for LD_ABS|LD_IND instructions will be more
intrusive but also more beneficial than this, and implemented later
as it's too risky at this point in time.
I.e., we plan to look into the option of moving skb_pull() out of
eth_type_trans() and into netif_receive_skb() as has been suggested
as second option. Meanwhile, this solution ensures ingress can be
used with eBPF, too, and that we won't run into ABI troubles later.
For dealing with negative offsets inside eBPF helper functions,
we've implemented bpf_skb_clone_unwritable() to test for unwriteable
headers.

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its
current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must
know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and
string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a
large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and
that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf).
So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like:
Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination
buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst
it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination.
It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to
append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences,
otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause
printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever
they previously contained.
This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used
to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem();
since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would
happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and
then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops.
In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for
getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We
also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref)
if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for
kasprintf("%pE") to work.
In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics.
Someone should definitely double-check this.
In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it
should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.
Adding users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Pull second vfs update from Al Viro:
"Now that net-next went in... Here's the next big chunk - killing
->aio_read() and ->aio_write().
There'll be one more pile today (direct_IO changes and
generic_write_checks() cleanups/fixes), but I'd prefer to keep that
one separate"
* 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (37 commits)
->aio_read and ->aio_write removed
pcm: another weird API abuse
infinibad: weird APIs switched to ->write_iter()
kill do_sync_read/do_sync_write
fuse: use iov_iter_get_pages() for non-splice path
fuse: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
switch drivers/char/mem.c to ->read_iter/->write_iter
make new_sync_{read,write}() static
coredump: accept any write method
switch /dev/loop to vfs_iter_write()
serial2002: switch to __vfs_read/__vfs_write
ashmem: use __vfs_read()
export __vfs_read()
autofs: switch to __vfs_write()
new helper: __vfs_write()
switch hugetlbfs to ->read_iter()
coda: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
ncpfs: switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter
net/9p: remove (now-)unused helpers
p9_client_attach(): set fid->uid correctly

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt.
2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers
can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli.
3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
from Madhu Challa.
4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck.
5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
Borkmann.
6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman.
7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.
8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck.
9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where
an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
table, we expand the table much more sanely.
10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
Biederman.
11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.
12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since
hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
underneath. From Eric Dumazet.
13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.
14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From
Hannes Frederic Sowa.
15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic
Sowa.
16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard
Cochran.
