      [MAC80211]: remove HW_KEY_IDX_INVALID · 6a7664d4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch makes the mac80211/driver interface rely only on the
      IEEE80211_TXCTL_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT flag to signal to the driver whether
      a frame should be encrypted or not, since mac80211 internally no
      longer relies on HW_KEY_IDX_INVALID either this removes it, changes
      the key index to be a u8 in all places and makes the full range of
      the value available to drivers.

      [MAC80211]: remove set_key_idx callback · c15a2050
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      No existing drivers use this callback, hence there's no telling
      how it might be used. In fact, it is unlikely to be of much use
      as-is because the default key index isn't something that the
      driver can do much with without knowing which interface it was
      for etc. And if it needs the key index for the transmitted frame,
      it can get it by keeping a reference to the key_conf structure
      and looking it up by hw_key_idx.

      [MAC80211]: fix race conditions with keys · d4e46a3d
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      During receive processing, we select the key long before using it and
      because there's no locking it is possible that we kfree() the key
      after having selected it but before using it for crypto operations.
      Obviously, this is bad.
      
      Secondly, during transmit processing, there are two possible races: We
      have a similar race between select_key() and using it for encryption,
      but we also have a race here between select_key() and hardware
      encryption (both when a key is removed.)
      
      This patch solves these issues by using RCU: when a key is to be freed,
      we first remove the pointer from the appropriate places (sdata->keys,
      sdata->default_key, sta->key) using rcu_assign_pointer() and then
      synchronize_rcu(). Then, we can safely kfree() the key and remove it
      from the hardware. There's a window here where the hardware may still
      be using it for decryption, but we can't work around that without having
      two hardware callbacks, one to disable the key for RX and one to disable
      it for TX; but the worst thing that will happen is that we receive a
      packet decrypted that we don't find a key for any more and then drop it.
      
      When we add a key, we first need to upload it to the hardware and then,
      using rcu_assign_pointer() again, link it into our structures.
      
      In the code using keys (TX/RX paths) we use rcu_dereference() to get the
      key and enclose the whole tx/rx section in a rcu_read_lock() ...
      rcu_read_unlock() block. Because we've uploaded the key to hardware
      before linking it into internal structures, we can guarantee that it is
      valid once get to into tx().
      
      One possible race condition remains, however: when we have hardware
      acceleration enabled and the driver shuts down the queues, we end up
      queueing the frame. If now somebody removes the key, the key will be
      removed from hwaccel and then then driver will be asked to encrypt the
      frame with a key index that has been removed. Hence, drivers will need
      to be aware that the hw_key_index they are passed might not be under
      all circumstances. Most drivers will, however, simply ignore that
      condition and encrypt the frame with the selected key anyway, this
      only results in a frame being encrypted with a wrong key or dropped
      (rightfully) because the key was not valid. There isn't much we can
      do about it unless we want to walk the pending frame queue every time
      a key is removed and remove all frames that used it.
      
      This race condition, however, will most likely be solved once we add
      multiqueue support to mac80211 because then frames will be queued
      further up the stack instead of after being processed.

      [MAC80211]: rework key handling · 11a843b7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This moves all the key handling code out from ieee80211_ioctl.c
      into key.c and also does the following changes including documentation
      updates in mac80211.h:
      
       1) Turn off hardware acceleration for keys when the interface
          is down. This is necessary because otherwise monitor
          interfaces could be decrypting frames for other interfaces
          that are down at the moment. Also, it should go some way
          towards better suspend/resume support, in any case the
          routines used here could be used for that as well.
          Additionally, this makes the driver interface nicer, keys
          for a specific local MAC address are only ever present
          while an interface with that MAC address is enabled.
      
       2) Change driver set_key() callback interface to allow only
          return values of -ENOSPC, -EOPNOTSUPP and 0, warn on all
          other return values. This allows debugging the stack when
          a driver notices it's handed a key while it is down.
      
       3) Invert the flag meaning to KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE.
      
       4) Remove REMOVE_ALL_KEYS command as it isn't used nor do we
          want to use it, we'll use DISABLE_KEY for each key. It is
          hard to use REMOVE_ALL_KEYS because we can handle multiple
          virtual interfaces with different key configuration, so we'd
          have to keep track of a lot of state for this and that isn't
          worth it.
      
       5) Warn when disabling a key fails, it musn't.
      
       6) Remove IEEE80211_HW_NO_TKIP_WMM_HWACCEL in favour of per-key
          IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA to let driver sort it out itself.
      
       7) Tell driver that a (non-WEP) key is used only for transmission
          by using an all-zeroes station MAC address when configuring.
      
       8) Change the set_key() callback to have access to the local MAC
          address the key is being added for.

      [MAC80211]: embed key conf in key, fix driver interface · 8f20fc24
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch embeds the struct ieee80211_key_conf into struct ieee80211_key
      and thus avoids allocations and having data present twice.
      
      This required some more changes:
       1) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_TX_KEY key flag.
          This flag isn't used by drivers nor should it be since
          we have a set_key_idx() callback. Maybe that callback needs
          to be extended to include the key conf, but only a driver that
          requires it will tell.
       2) The removal of the IEEE80211_KEY_DEFAULT_WEP_ONLY key flag.
          This flag is global, so it shouldn't be passed in the key
          conf structure. Pass it to the function instead.
      
      Also, this patch removes the AID parameter to the set_key() callback
      because it is currently unused and the hardware currently cannot know
      about the AID anyway. I suspect this was used with some hardware that
      actually selected the AID itself, but that functionality was removed.
      
      Additionally, I've removed the ALG_NULL key algorithm since we have
      ALG_NONE.
