      mac80211: Fix key freeing to handle unlinked keys · 32162a4d
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Key locking simplification removed key->sdata != NULL verification from
      ieee80211_key_free(). While that is fine for most use cases, there is one
      path where this function can be called with an unlinked key (i.e.,
      key->sdata == NULL && key->local == NULL). This results in a NULL pointer
      dereference with the current implementation. This is known to happen at
      least with FT protocol when wpa_supplicant tries to configure the key
      before association.
      
      Avoid the issue by passing in the local pointer to
      ieee80211_key_free(). In addition, do not clear the key from hw_accel
      or debugfs if it has not yet been added. At least the hw_accel one could
      trigger another NULL pointer dereference.

      mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation code · 098a6070
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like
      inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and
      leaking memory under certain circumstances during
      station destruction. Fix these issues by using
      the regular aggregation session teardown code and
      blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the
      station is really destructed.
      
      As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code
      block to destroy aggregation safely.
      
      Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only
      have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to
      tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand
      that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the
      RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs
      to keep track of the driver and peer states.

      mac80211: fix station destruction problem · e64b3795
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When a station w/o a key is destroyed, or when
      a driver submits work for a station and thereby
      references it again, it seems like potentially
      we could reference the station structure while
      it is being destroyed.
      
      Wait for an RCU grace period to elapse before
      finishing destroying the station after we have
      removed the station from the driver and from
      the hash table etc., even in the case where no
      key is associated with the station.
      
      Also, there's no point in deleting the plink
      timer here since it'll be properly deleted just
      a bit later.

      mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep · 34e89507
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Many drivers would like to sleep during station
      addition and removal, and currently have a high
      complexity there from not being able to.
      
      This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
      sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
      of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
      the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
      fail.
      
      The reason we didn't do this previously is that
      the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
      RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
      This patch will keep the station allocation in
      that path, but moves adding the station to the
      driver out of line. Since the addition can now
      fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
      rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
      station but never tell the driver about it in
      the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
      a driver that has a low limit on the number of
      stations and that cannot talk to any stations
      that are not known to it, we need to do come up
      with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
      maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

      mac80211: implement support for 4-address frames for AP and client mode · f14543ee
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
      Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
      to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
      AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
      destination MAC addresses.
      With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
      only 4-address frames for data traffic.
      On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
      clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
      in 4-address mode.
      Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
      will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
      regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
      The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
      easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
      addresses on any side.

      mac80211: async station powersave handling · af818581
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Some devices require that all frames to a station
      are flushed when that station goes into powersave
      mode before being able to send frames to that
      station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
      order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
      frames being sent to the station when it polls.
      
      Normally, this is the case unless the station
      goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
      But in that case, frames for it may be pending
      on the hardware queues, and thus races could
      happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
      used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
      but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
      sure the race doesn't happen.
      
      This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
      with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
      per-station flag that can be controlled by the
      driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
      frames or not. This flag must be set according to
      very specific rules outlined in the documentation
      for the function that controls it.
      
      When we buffer new frames for the station, we
      normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
      the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
      we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
      respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
      TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
      the TIM bit.
      
      Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
      need to wait until all other frames are flushed
      before we can transmit frames to that station,
      so the same applies here, we need to wait for
      the driver to give the OK.

      mac80211: fix vlan and optimise RX · fbc44bf7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When receiving data frames, we can send them only to
      the interface they belong to based on transmitting
      station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also,
      don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all
      since those interface should only receive data.
      
      Additionally, the transmit side must check that the
      station we're sending a frame to is actually on the
      interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit
      packets to functions that live on other interfaces,
      so validate that as well.
      
      Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the
      VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite
      the sdata variable we still need.

      nl80211: add generation number to all dumps · f5ea9120

      In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether

      We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
      In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can

      if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
      should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
      a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.
      
      With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
      and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
      running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of

      mac80211: Initialize RX's last received sequence number · cccaec98

      mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings · 57c4d7b4

      We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
      hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
      rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
      beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
      an AP.
      
      This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
      of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
      the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
      the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

            to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all

      mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queues · 96f5e66e
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.
      
      This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
      but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
      version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
      which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
      currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
      that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).
      
      This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
      execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
      this:
       1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
          fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
          frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
          single frame with its fragments)
       2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
          per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
          when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
          onto the queue from 1)
       3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
          mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
          mac80211 again
      
      This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
      frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.
