This allows users to disable features such as HT, HT40, and to modify the MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU settings for drivers that support it. The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask. Attemping to disable features that are not supported will take no affect, but will not return errors. This is to aid backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask. This patch only enables the infrastructure. An additional patch will enable the feature in mac80211. Signed-off-by: NBen Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz without disabling 11b rates. This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame transmission.

The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held. This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called without the lock being held. Fix this by making wiphy_update_regulatory() private and introducing regulatory_update() as a wrapper that acquires and holds the lock.

There was a deadlock when rfkill-blocking a wireless interface, because we were locking the rdev mutex on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN to stop sched_scans that were eventually running.

cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss() calls. Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions.

When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211.

Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

When sending action frames, we want to verify that we do that on the correct channel. However, checking the channel type in addition can get in the way, since the channel type could change on the fly during an association, and it's not useful to have the channel type anyway since it has no effect on the transmission.

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements, user space applications may need to clear authentication or association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other deauth/disassoc operations being completed. Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully. Signed-off-by: NJouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have overridden the IEs from Beacon frames. This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However, there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include the full IE only in Beacon frames). The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive() where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files still need to be handled but can now be removed without needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.

When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check off to a work struct, where we can freely lock.

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: 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.

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.
