      cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests · 36e6fea8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then
      take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device
      the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request.
      That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour
      is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev
      refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve
      robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn
      about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just
      clean up silently because it's likely that the driver
      also has some internal state it has now leaked.
      
      Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the
      scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock.
      
      Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and
      not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting
      to do a cleanup.

      cfg80211: fix locking for SIWFREQ · 4b181144
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      "cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces"
      contained a locking bug -- in the managed-mode SIWFREQ
      call it would end up running into a lock recursion.
      
      This fixes it by not checking that particular interface
      for a channel that it needs to stay on, which is as it
      should be as that's the interface we're setting the
      channel for.

      nl80211: add generation number to all dumps · f5ea9120
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether
      it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when
      using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number
      in each dump message that indicates whether the list has
      changed or not -- its value is arbitrary.
      
      This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs
      some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation
      number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or
      stations.
      
      The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within
      cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be
      stored there as well.

      cfg80211: use reassociation when possible · f401a6f7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With the move of everything related to the SME from
      mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send
      reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only
      for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it
      shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do
      so with the nl80211 interface).
      
      I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so
      it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211
      connect primitive. I think that should be done with
      the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see
      how that can be handled in the future, especially
      with fullmac chips.
      
      This patch addresses only the immediate regression
      we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc.

      cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces · 59bbb6f7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory
      enforcement and connection stability, in that it is
      possible to switch the channel while connected to a
      network or joined to an IBSS.
      
      The problem comes from the fact that we only validate
      the channel against the current interface's type, not
      against any other interface. Thus, you have any type
      of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode
      interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This
      will obviously also switch the channel on the other
      interface.
      
      The problem now is that if you do that while sending
      beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled
      channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing.
      Combined with a managed mode interface connected to
      an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily
      break the connection that way.
      
      To fix this, this patch validates any channel change
      with all available interfaces, and disallows such
      changes on secondary interfaces if another interface
      is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

      cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces · 463d0183
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
      we have to do the following things:
      
       * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
         than a netdev pointer - simply change this
      
       * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
         network namespace
      
       * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
         and reference instead
      
       * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
         in one netns together, so
          - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
            export dev_change_net_namespace()
          - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
            flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
            to disallow breaking this invariant
      
       * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
         wiphy to init_net
      
       * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
         create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
         only mac80211
      
      The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
      a different network namespace with the new command
      	iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
      and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

      cfg80211: rework key operation · fffd0934
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
      allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
      after the connection has been established (in managed
      mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
      (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.
      
      In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
      is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
      To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
      CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
      SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
      the connection has been established.
      
      Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
      mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
      it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
      to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
      key authentication.

      cfg80211: implement wext key handling · 08645126
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
      so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
      compatibility.
      
      Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
      IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
      no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
      for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
      algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
      setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
      and "Accept non-encoded packets".
      
      (Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL)
