      module: add per-module param_lock · b51d23e4
      Dan Streetman 提交于
      Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
      the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
      Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
      calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).
      
      The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
      modification of any and all kernel params.  While this generally works,
      there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
      cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
      with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg().  If the module to be
      loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
      config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
      first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
      lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.
      
      This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
      is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
      not blocked by changes to other module params.  All built-in modules
      continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
      runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
      will never cause load-time param changing.
      
      This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
      to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
      sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
      kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
      to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
      the global param mutex.  They are replaced with direct calls to
      kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
      if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

      mac80211: fix locking in update_vlan_tailroom_need_count() · 51f458d9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Unfortunately, Michal's change to fix AP_VLAN crypto tailroom
      caused a locking issue that was reported by lockdep, but only
      in a few cases - the issue was a classic ABBA deadlock caused
      by taking the mtx after the key_mtx, where normally they're
      taken the other way around.
      
      As the key mutex protects the field in question (I'm adding a
      few annotations to make that clear) only the iteration needs
      to be protected, but we can also iterate the interface list
      with just RCU protection while holding the key mutex.

      mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap · 30686bf7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
      convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
      bitmaps.
      
      This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
      test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
      
      The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
      drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
      fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

      mac80211: Fix a case of incorrect metric used when forwarding a PREQ · 5ec596c4
      Alexis Green 提交于
      This patch fixes a bug in hwmp_preq_frame_process where the wrong metric
      can be used when forwarding a PREQ. This happens because the code uses
      the same metric variable to record the value of the metric to the source
      of the PREQ and the value of the metric to the target of the PREQ.
      
      This comes into play when both reply and forward are set which happens
      when IEEE80211_PREQ_PROACTIVE_PREP_FLAG is set and when MP_F_DO | MP_F_RF
      is set. The original code had a special case to handle the first case
      but not the second.
      
      The patch uses distinct variables for the two metrics which makes the
      code flow much clearer and removes the need to restore the original
      value of metric when forwarding.

      mac80211: Always check rates and capabilities in mesh mode · e060e7ad
      Alexis Green 提交于
      In mesh mode there is a race between establishing links and processing
      rates and capabilities in beacons. This is very noticeable with slow
      beacons (e.g. beacon intervals of 1s) and manifested for us as stations
      using minstrel when minstrel_ht should be used. Fixed by changing
      mesh_sta_info_init so that it always checks rates and such if it has not
      already done so.

      mac80211: ignore invalid scan RSSI values · 74d803b6
      Sara Sharon 提交于
      Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we
      send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel
      2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this
      case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on
      the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case).
      
      The scan result ignores those invalid values and the
      station last signal should not be updated as well.
      
      In case the scan determines the signal to be invalid turn on
      the flag so the station last signal will not be updated with
      the value and thus user space probing for NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL
      and NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG will not get this invalid RSSI
      value.

      mac80211: release channel on auth failure · d01f858c
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      There were a few rare cases when upon
      authentication failure channel wasn't released.
      This could cause stale pointers to remain in
      chanctx assigned_vifs after interface removal and
      trigger general protection fault later.
      
      This could be triggered, e.g. on ath10k with the
      following steps:
      
       1. start an AP
       2. create 2 extra vifs on ath10k host
       3. connect vif1 to the AP
       4. connect vif2 to the AP
          (auth fails because ath10k firmware isn't able
           to maintain 2 peers with colliding AP mac
           addresses across vifs and consequently
           refuses sta_info_insert() in
           ieee80211_prep_connection())
       5. remove the 2 extra vifs
       6. goto step 2; at step 3 kernel was crashing:

      mac80211: handle aggregation session timeout on fast-xmit path · 472be00d

      The conversion to the fast-xmit path lost proper aggregation session
      timeout handling - the last_tx wasn't set on that path and the timer
      would therefore incorrectly tear down the session periodically (with

      mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookies · 3b79af97

      Even if the pointers are really only accessible to root and used

      With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the

      use the cookie but both ways are permissible.)
      
      As TX SKBs could be encrypted, at least in the case of ANQP
      while associated with the AP, copy the original SKB, store
      it with an ACK frame ID and restructure the status path to
      use that to return status with the original SKB. Otherwise,
      userspace (in particular wpa_supplicant) will get confused.
