2017-09-06mac80211: fix deadlock in driver-managed RX BA session startJohannes Berg
When an RX BA session is started by the driver, and it has to tell mac80211 about it, the corresponding bit in tid_rx_manage_offl gets set and the BA session work is scheduled. Upon testing this bit, it will call __ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session(), thus deadlocking as it already holds the ampdu_mlme.mtx, which that acquires again. Fix this by adding ___ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session(), a version of the function that requires the mutex already held.

2017-09-06mac80211: Complete ampdu work schedule during session tear downIlan peer
Commit 7a7c0a6438b8 ("mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback race") added a cancellation of the ampdu work after the loop that stopped the Tx and Rx BA sessions. However, in some cases, e.g., during HW reconfig, the low level driver might call mac80211 APIs to complete the stopping of the BA sessions, which would queue the ampdu work to handle the actual completion. This work needs to be performed as otherwise mac80211 data structures would not be properly synced. Fix this by checking if BA session STOP_CB bit is set after the BA session cancellation and properly clean the session.

2017-09-05mac80211: flush hw_roc_start work before cancelling the ROCAvraham Stern
When HW ROC is supported it is possible that after the HW notified that the ROC has started, the ROC was cancelled and another ROC was added while the hw_roc_start worker is waiting on the mutex (since cancelling the ROC and adding another one also holds the same mutex). As a result, the hw_roc_start worker will continue to run after the new ROC is added but before it is actually started by the HW. This may result in notifying userspace that the ROC has started before it actually does, or in case of management tx ROC, in an attempt to tx while not on the right channel. In addition, when the driver will notify mac80211 that the second ROC has started, mac80211 will warn that this ROC has already been notified. Fix this by flushing the hw_roc_start work before cancelling an ROC.

2017-09-05mac80211: agg-tx: call drv_wake_tx_queue in proper contextJohannes Berg
Since drv_wake_tx_queue() is normally called in the TX path, which is already in an RCU critical section, we should call it the same way in the aggregation code path, so if the driver expects to be able to use RCU, it'll already be protected without having to enter a nested critical section. Additionally, disable soft-IRQs, since not doing so could cause issues in a driver that relies on them already being disabled like in the other path.

2017-09-05mac80211: fix VLAN handling with TXQsJohannes Berg
With TXQs, the AP_VLAN interfaces are resolved to their owner AP interface when enqueuing the frame, which makes sense since the frame really goes out on that as far as the driver is concerned. However, this introduces a problem: frames to be encrypted with a VLAN-specific GTK will now be encrypted with the AP GTK, since the information about which virtual interface to use to select the key is taken from the TXQ. Fix this by preserving info->control.vif and using that in the dequeue function. This now requires doing the driver-mapping in the dequeue as well. Since there's no way to filter the frames that are sitting on a TXQ, drop all frames, which may affect other interfaces, when an AP_VLAN is removed.

2017-06-13mac80211: don't send SMPS action frame in AP mode when not neededEmmanuel Grumbach
mac80211 allows to modify the SMPS state of an AP both, when it is started, and after it has been started. Such a change will trigger an action frame to all the peers that are currently connected, and will be remembered so that new peers will get notified as soon as they connect (since the SMPS setting in the beacon may not be the right one). This means that we need to remember the SMPS state currently requested as well as the SMPS state that was configured initially (and advertised in the beacon). The former is bss->req_smps and the latter is sdata->smps_mode. Initially, the AP interface could only be started with SMPS_OFF, which means that sdata->smps_mode was SMPS_OFF always. Later, a nl80211 API was added to be able to start an AP with a different AP mode. That code forgot to update bss->req_smps and because of that, if the AP interface was started with SMPS_DYNAMIC, we had: sdata->smps_mode = SMPS_DYNAMIC bss->req_smps = SMPS_OFF That configuration made mac80211 think it needs to fire off an action frame to any new station connecting to the AP in order to let it know that the actual SMPS configuration is SMPS_OFF. Fix that by properly setting bss->req_smps in ieee80211_start_ap.

2017-06-13mac80211: set bss_info data before configuring the channelJohannes Berg
When mac80211 changes the channel, it also calls into the driver's bss_info_changed() callback, e.g. with BSS_CHANGED_IDLE. The driver may, like iwlwifi does, access more data from bss_info in that case and iwlwifi accesses the basic_rates bitmap, but if changing from a band with more (basic) rates to one with fewer, an out-of-bounds access of the rate array may result. While we can't avoid having invalid data at some point in time, we can avoid having it while we call the driver - so set up all the data before configuring the channel, and then apply it afterwards.

2017-06-07net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-05-30mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback raceJohannes Berg
When starting or stopping an aggregation session, one of the steps is that the driver calls back to mac80211 that the start/stop can proceed. This is handled by queueing up a fake SKB and processing it from the normal iface/sdata work. Since this isn't flushed when disassociating, the following race is possible: * associate * start aggregation session * driver callback * disassociate * associate again to the same AP * callback processing runs, leading to a WARN_ON() that the TID hadn't requested aggregation If the second association isn't to the same AP, there would only be a message printed ("Could not find station: <addr>"), but the same race could happen. Fix this by not going the whole detour with a fake SKB etc. but simply looking up the aggregation session in the driver callback, marking it with a START_CB/STOP_CB bit and then scheduling the regular aggregation work that will now process these bits as well. This also simplifies the code and gets rid of the whole problem with allocation failures of said skb, which could have left the session in limbo.

2017-05-17mac80211: Dynamically set CoDel parameters per stationToke Høiland-Jørgensen
CoDel can be too aggressive if a station sends at a very low rate, leading reduced throughput. This gets worse the more stations are present, as each station gets more bursty the longer the round-robin scheduling between stations takes. This adds dynamic adjustment of CoDel parameters per station. It uses the rate selection information to estimate throughput and sets more lenient CoDel parameters if the estimated throughput is below a threshold (modified by the number of active stations). A new callback is added that drivers can use to notify mac80211 about changes in expected throughput, so the same adjustment can be made for cards that implement rate control in firmware. Drivers that don't use this will just get the default parameters.

When VHT IBSS support was added, the size of the extra elements wasn't considered in ieee80211_ibss_build_presp(), which makes it possible that it would overrun the allocated buffer. Fix it by allocating the necessary space.

2017-05-08mac80211: bail out from prep_connection() if a reconfig is ongoingLuca Coelho
If ieee80211_hw_restart() is called during authentication, the authentication process will continue, causing the driver to be called in a wrong state. This ultimately causes an oops in the iwlwifi driver (at least). This fixes bugzilla 195299 partly.

2017-04-28mac80211: Add support for BSS max idle period elementAvraham Stern
Parse the BSS max idle period element and set the BSS configuration accordingly so the driver can use this information to configure the max idle period and to use protected management frames for keep alive when required. The BSS max idle period element is defined in IEEE802.11-2016, section 9.4.2.79 Signed-off-by: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2017-04-28mac80211: Fix possible sband related NULL pointer de-referenceMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'. Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with 'ieee80211_get_sband' which returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL. An example scenario is as below: In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected) and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid and this results in a crash while the clients connected to the AP vif tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif ieee80211 phy0: channel context reservation cannot be finalized because some interfaces aren't switching wlan0: failed to finalize CSA, disconnecting wlan0-1: deauthenticating from 8c:fd:f0:01:54:9c by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 19032 at net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h:1013 sta_info_alloc+0x374/0x3fc [mac80211] [<bf77272c>] (sta_info_alloc [mac80211]) [<bf78776c>] (ieee80211_add_station [mac80211])) [<bf73cc50>] (nl80211_new_station [cfg80211]) Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000014 pgd = d5f4c000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM PC is at sta_info_alloc+0x380/0x3fc [mac80211] LR is at sta_info_alloc+0x37c/0x3fc [mac80211] [<bf772738>] (sta_info_alloc [mac80211]) [<bf78776c>] (ieee80211_add_station [mac80211]) [<bf73cc50>] (nl80211_new_station [cfg80211])) Cc: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qti.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2017-04-28mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_status_extFelix Fietkau
This allows the driver to pass in struct ieee80211_tx_status directly. Make ieee80211_tx_status_noskb a wrapper around it. As with ieee80211_tx_status_noskb, there is no _ni variant of this call, because it probably won't be needed. Even if the driver won't provide any extra status info other than what's in struct ieee80211_tx_info already, it can optimize status reporting this way by passing in the station pointer.
