2015-11-03cfg80211: allow AID/listen interval changes for unassociated stationAyala Beker
Currently, cfg80211 rejects updates of AID and listen interval parameters for existing entries. This information is known only at association stage and as a result it's impossible to update entries that were added unassociated. Fix this by allowing updates of these properies for stations that the driver (or mac80211) assigned unassociated state. This then fixes mac80211's use of NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE.

2015-10-15cfg80211: reg: remove useless reg_timeout schedulingJohannes Berg
When the functions reg_set_rd_driver() and reg_set_rd_country_ie() return with an error, the calling function already restores data by calling restore_regulatory_settings(), so there's no need to also schedule a timeout (which would lead to other side effects such as indicating CRDA failed, which clearly isn't true.)

2015-10-13cfg80211: Add multiple scan plans for scheduled scanAvraham Stern
Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan. Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus defines only the interval between scans. The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately. When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however. The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results, and there is no difference between flushing all results received until the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one, since no results will be received in between.

2015-10-13nl80211: allow BSS data to include CLOCK_BOOTTIME timestampDmitry Shmidt
For location and connectivity services, userspace would often like to know the time when the BSS was last seen. The current "last seen" value is calculated in a way that makes it less useful, especially if the system suspended in the meantime. Add the ability for the driver to report a real CLOCK_BOOTTIME stamp that can then be reported to userspace (if present). Drivers wishing to use this must be converted to the new API to call cfg80211_inform_bss_data() or cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data(). They need to ensure the reported value is accurate enough even when the frame might have been buffered in the device (e.g. firmware.)

In reg_process_hint, the test of "treatment == REG_REQ_IGNORE || treatment == REG_REQ_ALREADY_SET" is superfluous because the code in the if-then branch is identical to the code after the if statement.

2015-07-17cfg80211: allow mgmt_frame_register callback to sleepJohannes Berg
This callback is currently not allowed to sleep, which makes it more difficult to implement proper driver methods in mac80211 than it has to be. Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback. While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit unregistration when an interface is removed, and do that also when a P2P-Device wdev is destroyed (otherwise we leak the structs.)

2015-06-09cfg80211: wext: clear sinfo struct before calling driverJohannes Berg
Until recently, mac80211 overwrote all the statistics it could provide when getting called, but it now relies on the struct having been zeroed by the caller. This was always the case in nl80211, but wext used a static struct which could even cause values from one device leak to another. Using a static struct is OK (as even documented in a comment) since the whole usage of this function and its return value is always locked under RTNL. Not clearing the struct for calling the driver has always been wrong though, since drivers were free to only fill values they could report, so calling this for one device and then for another would always have leaked values from one to the other. Fix this by initializing the structure in question before the driver method call.

2015-05-29cfg80211: ignore netif running state when changing iftypeMichal Kazior
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 ...

2015-05-26cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnectJohannes Berg
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.

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.
