      cfg80211: separate internal SME implementation · ceca7b71
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is
      very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been
      causing issues for a long time. There are three things
      that the implementation has to provide:
       * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect()
         call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is
         really just mac80211) and wireless extensions
       * MLME events for the userspace SME
       * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all
         different SME implementation possibilities (driver,
         cfg80211 and userspace)
      
      To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the
      software SME's connection status outside of it's state
      (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead,
      track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the
      general case only track whether the wdev is connected
      or not (via wdev->current_bss.)
      
      Also separate the internal implementation to not have
      callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from
      the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211)
      calls. This separates the code better.

      cfg80211: vastly simplify locking · 5fe231e8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Virtually all code paths in cfg80211 already (need to) hold
      the RTNL. As such, there's little point in having another
      four mutexes for various parts of the code, they just cause
      lock ordering issues (and much of the time, the RTNL and a
      few of the others need thus be held.)
      
      Simplify all this by getting rid of the extra four mutexes
      and just use the RTNL throughout. Only a few code changes
      were needed to do this and we can get rid of a work struct
      for bonus points.

      nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configuration · 3d9d1d66
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT)
      using the control channel frequency (as before) and
      new attributes for the channel width and first and
      second center frequency. The old channel type is of
      course still supported for HT.
      
      Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
      to support these by adding the relevant fields to
      it (and removing the _type field.)
      
      This also adds new helper functions:
       - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
         struct given the control channel and channel type,
       - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
         definitions are identical
       - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
         channel definitions are compatible, and return the
         wider of the two
      
      This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
      until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
      missing
       - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
         even makes sense)
       - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)
       - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the
         new channel types

      cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling · f444de05
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      This patch moves the works cleanup, scan and events to a cfg80211

      Platform driver like eeepc-laptop ought to use works to rfkill (as
      new rfkill does lock in rfkill_unregister and the platform driver is
      called from rfkill_switch_all which also lock the same mutex).
      This raise a new issue in itself that the work scheduled by the platform
      driver to the global worqueue calls wiphy_unregister which flush_work
      scan and event works (which thus flush works on the global workqueue inside
      a work on the global workqueue) and also put on hold the  wdev_cleanup_work
       (which prevents the dev_put on netdev thus indefinite Usage count error on

      cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable · f7969969
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces · 59bbb6f7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory
      enforcement and connection stability, in that it is
      possible to switch the channel while connected to a
      network or joined to an IBSS.
      
      The problem comes from the fact that we only validate
      the channel against the current interface's type, not
      against any other interface. Thus, you have any type
      of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode
      interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This
      will obviously also switch the channel on the other
      interface.
      
      The problem now is that if you do that while sending
      beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled
      channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing.
      Combined with a managed mode interface connected to
      an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily
      break the connection that way.
      
      To fix this, this patch validates any channel change
      with all available interfaces, and disallows such
      changes on secondary interfaces if another interface
      is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

      This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only

      after the connection has been established (in managed
      mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
      (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.
      
      In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
      is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
      To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
      CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
      SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
      the connection has been established.
      
      Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
      mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
      it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
      to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared

      cfg80211: fix locking · 667503dd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into
      the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can
      race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against
      leaving an IBSS, etc.
      
      Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects
      most of the per-interface data that we need to keep
      track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock
      everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to
      work structs so that we don't require being able to
      sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception
      to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that
      currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier
      to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future
      drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever
      exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like
      mac80211 anyway...
      
      In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc
      properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will
      determine locking requirements.

      cfg80211: fix netdev down problem · 78485475
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We shouldn't be looking at the ssid_len for non-IBSS,
      and for IBSS we should also return an error on trying
      to leave an IBSS while not in or joining an IBSS.
      
      This fixes an issue where we wouldn't disconnect() on
      an interface being taken down since there's no SSID
      configured this way.

      cfg80211: keep track of BSSes · 19957bb3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to avoid problems with BSS structs going away
      while they're in use, I've long wanted to make cfg80211
      keep track of them. Without the SME, that wasn't doable
      but now that we have the SME we can do this too. It can
      keep track of up to four separate authentications and
      one association, regardless of whether it's controlled
      by the cfg80211 SME or the userspace SME.

      This variable isn't necessary -- the wext code keeps
      track of the BSSID itself, and otherwise we have
      current_bss.
