      nl80211: add generation number to all dumps · f5ea9120
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      cfg80211: use reassociation when possible · f401a6f7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With the move of everything related to the SME from
      mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send
      reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only
      for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it
      shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do
      so with the nl80211 interface).
      
      I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so
      it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211
      connect primitive. I think that should be done with
      the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see
      how that can be handled in the future, especially
      with fullmac chips.
      
      This patch addresses only the immediate regression
      we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc.

      cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature · 37184244
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
      
      "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
      
      We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
      stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
      up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
      on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
      
      By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
      registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
      enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
      The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
      never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
      support such enhancements when world roaming.
      
      Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
      allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
      drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
      
      We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
      enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
      passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
      an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
      band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
      world wide.
      
      This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
      improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
      and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
      would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
      regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
      by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
      upon wiphy registration.
      
      I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

      cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces · 463d0183
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
      we have to do the following things:
      
       * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
         than a netdev pointer - simply change this
      
       * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
         network namespace
      
       * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
         and reference instead
      
       * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
         in one netns together, so
          - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
            export dev_change_net_namespace()
          - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
            flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
            to disallow breaking this invariant
      
       * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
         wiphy to init_net
      
       * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
         create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
         only mac80211
      
      The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
      a different network namespace with the new command
      	iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
      and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

      cfg80211: rework key operation · fffd0934
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
      allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
      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
      key authentication.

      nl80211: Add IEEE 802.1X PAE control for station mode · 3f77316c
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to
      allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port
      in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port
      authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag
      was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only
      with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure
      configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to
      control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that
      we are already doing in AP mode).

      nl80211: improve station flags handling · eccb8e8f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      It is currently not possible to modify station flags, but that
      capability would be very useful. This patch introduces a new
      nl80211 attribute that contains a set/mask for station flags,
      and updates the internal API (and mac80211) to mirror that.
      
      The new attribute is parsed before falling back to the old so
      that userspace can specify both (if it can) to work on all
      kernels.

      cfg80211: implement wext key handling · 08645126
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
      so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
      compatibility.
      
      Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
      IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
      no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
      for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
      algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
      setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
      and "Accept non-encoded packets".
      
      (Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL)
