      mac80211: restrict delayed tailroom needed decrement · 133bf90d
      由 Manikanta Pubbisetty 提交于 
      As explained in ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(), during roam,
keys of the old AP will be destroyed and new keys will be
installed. Deletion of the old key causes
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt to go from 1 to 0 and the new key
installation causes a transition from 0 to 1.

Whenever crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt transitions from 0 to 1,
we invoke synchronize_net(); the reason for doing this is to avoid
a race in the TX path as explained in increment_tailroom_need_count().
This synchronize_net() operation can be slow and can affect the station
roam time. To avoid this, decrementing the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt
is delayed for a while so that upon installation of new key the
transition would be from 1 to 2 instead of 0 to 1 and thereby
improving the roam time.

This is all correct for a STA iftype, but deferring the tailroom_needed
decrement for other iftypes may be unnecessary.

For example, let's consider the case of a 4-addr client connecting to
an AP for which AP_VLAN interface is also created, let the initial
value for tailroom_needed on the AP be 1.

* 4-addr client connects to the AP (AP: tailroom_needed = 1)
* AP will clear old keys, delay decrement of tailroom_needed count
* AP_VLAN is created, it takes the tailroom count from master
  (AP_VLAN: tailroom_needed = 1, AP: tailroom_needed = 1)
* Install new key for the station, assume key is plumbed in the HW,
  there won't be any change in tailroom_needed count on AP iface
* Delayed decrement of tailroom_needed count on AP
  (AP: tailroom_needed = 0, AP_VLAN: tailroom_needed = 1)

Because of the delayed decrement on AP iface, tailroom_needed count goes
out of sync between AP(master iface) and AP_VLAN(slave iface) and
there would be unnecessary tailroom created for the packets going
through AP_VLAN iface.

Also, WARN_ONs were observed while trying to bring down the AP_VLAN
interface:
(warn_slowpath_common) (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20)
(warn_slowpath_null) (ieee80211_free_keys+0x114/0x1e4)
(ieee80211_free_keys) (ieee80211_del_virtual_monitor+0x51c/0x850)
(ieee80211_del_virtual_monitor) (ieee80211_stop+0x30/0x3c)
(ieee80211_stop) (__dev_close_many+0x94/0xb8)
(__dev_close_many) (dev_close_many+0x5c/0xc8)

Restricting delayed decrement to station interface alone fixes the problem
and it makes sense to do so because delayed decrement is done to improve
roam time which is applicable only for client devices.

      wireless/lib80211: Convert from ahash to shash · d17504b1
      由 Kees Cook 提交于 
      In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of
the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash
to direct shash. The stack allocation will be made a fixed size in a
later patch to the crypto subsystem.

Kalle Valo says:

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.19

The first set of patches for 4.19. Only smaller features and bug
fixes, not really anything major. Also included are changes to
include/linux/bitfield.h, we agreed with Johannes that it makes sense
to apply them via wireless-drivers-next.

Major changes:

ath10k

* support channel 173

* fix spectral scan for QCA9984 and QCA9888 chipsets

ath6kl

* add support for Dell Wireless 1537

ti wlcore

* add support for runtime PM

* enable runtime PM autosuspend support

qtnfmac

* support changing MAC address

* enable source MAC address randomization support

libertas

* fix suspend and resume for SDIO cards

mt76

* add software DFS radar pattern detector for mt76x2 based devices
