      mac80211: Fix IBSS disconnect · d4c80d9d
      Sujith Manoharan 提交于
      Currently, when a station leaves an IBSS network, the
      corresponding BSS is not dropped from cfg80211 if there are
      other active stations in the network. But, the small
      window that is present when trying to determine a station's
      status based on IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_INTERVAL introduces
      a race.
      
      Instead of trying to keep the BSS, always remove it when
      leaving an IBSS network. There is not much benefit to retain
      the BSS entry since it will be added with a subsequent join
      operation.
      
      This fixes an issue where a dangling BSS entry causes ath9k
      to wait for a beacon indefinitely.

      mac80211: fix iflist_mtx/mtx locking in radar detection · 34a3740d
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The scan code creates an iflist_mtx -> mtx locking dependency,
      and a few other places, notably radar detection, were creating
      the opposite dependency, causing lockdep to complain. As scan
      and radar detection are mutually exclusive, the deadlock can't
      really happen in practice, but it's still bad form.
      
      A similar issue exists in the monitor mode code, but this is
      only used by channel-context drivers right now and those have
      to have hardware scan, so that also can't happen.
      
      Still, fix these issues by making some of the channel context
      code require the mtx to be held rather than acquiring it, thus
      allowing the monitor/radar callers to keep the iflist_mtx->mtx
      lock ordering.
      
      While at it, also fix access to the local->scanning variable
      in the radar code, and document that radar_detect_enabled is
      now properly protected by the mtx.
      
      All this would now introduce an ABBA deadlock between the DFS
      work cancelling and local->mtx, so change the locking there a
      bit to not need to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() but be able
      to just use cancel_delayed_work(). The work is also safely
      stopped/removed when the interface is stopped, so no extra
      changes are needed.

      cfg80211/mac80211: use cfg80211 wdev mutex in mac80211 · 8d61ffa5
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always
      caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in
      mac80211 to call cfg80211, which even needed a framework
      to make cfg80211 calls after some functions returned etc.
      
      Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported
      with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to
      such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change
      state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211
      that the state changed (in another way.)
