      Stanse found that nl80211_set_wiphy imporperly handles a lock and netdev
      reference and contains unreachable code. It is because there return statement
      isntead of assignment to result variable. Fix that.

      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

      cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassoc · d5cdfacb
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      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.

      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.

      cfg80211: Add connection quality monitoring support to nl80211 · d6dc1a38
      Juuso Oikarinen 提交于
      Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the
      nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring
      events.
      
      Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive
      pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start
      preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost.
      
      An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in
      an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it
      before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
      or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.
      
      The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended
      to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that
      arises.

      nl80211: add power save commands · ffb9eb3d
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
      is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
      to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
      
      I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
      timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
      Basically there were three reasons:
      
      Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
      Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
      still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
      
      Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
      of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
      what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
      need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
      now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
      
      Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
      debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
      For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
      to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
      optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
      and other traffic parameters.
      
      Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
      this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

      cfg80211: Store IEs from both Beacon and Probe Response frames · 34a6eddb
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      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.

      cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces · ad4bb6f8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
      (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
      doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
      networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
      need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
      help here. The wireless address format used for these
      links has only space for three addresses, the
       * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
       * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
         the case of managed mode
       * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
         network segment
      
      In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
      must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
      
      To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
      wireless interface to a bridge.
      
      Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
      and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
      it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
      up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.
