      mac80211: Fix debugfs union misuse and pointer corruption · 2b58b209
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
      common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
      memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
      usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
      default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
      dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
      can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
      something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.
      
      Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct
      (common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future)
      that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used
      for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

      The default_key symlink points to the key index rather than
      they key counter, fix it.

      mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems · 3b96766f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
      avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
      hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
      structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
      cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
      so we cannot do things atomically.
      
      This patch changes key locking completely:
       * key operations are now atomic
       * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
         a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
       * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
       * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
         unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
         keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
         run before STA destruction.
       * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
         required due to key operations
      
      This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
      makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
      as much.
      
      Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
      is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.
