      mac80211: Fix null pointer dereference with iTXQ support · 89e9bfc4
      Chunho Lee 提交于
      This change adds null pointer check before dereferencing pointer dev on
      netif_tx_start_all_queues() when an interface is added.
      With iTXQ support, netif_tx_start_all_queues() is always called while
      an interface is added. however, the netdev queues are not associated
      and dev is null when the interface is either NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_DEVICE
      or NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN.

      mac80211: fix VLAN handling with TXQs · 53168215
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With TXQs, the AP_VLAN interfaces are resolved to their owner AP
      interface when enqueuing the frame, which makes sense since the
      frame really goes out on that as far as the driver is concerned.
      
      However, this introduces a problem: frames to be encrypted with
      a VLAN-specific GTK will now be encrypted with the AP GTK, since
      the information about which virtual interface to use to select
      the key is taken from the TXQ.
      
      Fix this by preserving info->control.vif and using that in the
      dequeue function. This now requires doing the driver-mapping
      in the dequeue as well.
      
      Since there's no way to filter the frames that are sitting on a
      TXQ, drop all frames, which may affect other interfaces, when an
      AP_VLAN is removed.

      mac80211: manage RX BA session offload without SKB queue · 699cb58c
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Instead of using the SKB queue with the fake pkt_type for the
      offloaded RX BA session management, also handle this with the
      normal aggregation state machine worker. This also makes the
      use of this more reliable since it gets rid of the allocation
      of the fake skb.
      
      Combined with the previous patch, this finally allows us to
      get rid of the pkt_type hack entirely, so do that as well.

      net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state. · cf124db5
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
      netdev_ops->ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
      can occur in one of two different places.
      
      Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
      
      The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
      whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
      is safe to perform the freeing.
      
      netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
      NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
      address lists are flushed.
      
      netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
      netdev references all go away.
      
      Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
      almost universally does also a free_netdev().
      
      This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
      Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
      of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
      fails.
      
      If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
      of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit().  But
      it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
      
      This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
      then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
      
      However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
      by netdev->destructor() will not be.
      
      Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
      invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
      fails.
      
      Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
      
      Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
      private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
      the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
      
      netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
      resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
      free_netdev().
      
      netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
      free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
      
      Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
      ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
      and netdev->priv_destructor().
      
      And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
      netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

      mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback race · 7a7c0a64
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When starting or stopping an aggregation session, one of the steps
      is that the driver calls back to mac80211 that the start/stop can
      proceed. This is handled by queueing up a fake SKB and processing
      it from the normal iface/sdata work. Since this isn't flushed when
      disassociating, the following race is possible:
      
       * associate
       * start aggregation session
       * driver callback
       * disassociate
       * associate again to the same AP
       * callback processing runs, leading to a WARN_ON() that
         the TID hadn't requested aggregation
      
      If the second association isn't to the same AP, there would only
      be a message printed ("Could not find station: <addr>"), but the
      same race could happen.
      
      Fix this by not going the whole detour with a fake SKB etc. but
      simply looking up the aggregation session in the driver callback,
      marking it with a START_CB/STOP_CB bit and then scheduling the
      regular aggregation work that will now process these bits as well.
      This also simplifies the code and gets rid of the whole problem
      with allocation failures of said skb, which could have left the
      session in limbo.

      When an associated station changes its VHT operating mode this
      can/will affect the bandwidth it's using, and consequently we
      must recalculate the minimum bandwidth we need to use. Failure
      to do so can lead to one of two scenarios:
       1) we use a too high bandwidth, this is benign
       2) we use a too narrow bandwidth, causing rate control and
          actual PHY configuration to be out of sync, which can in
          turn cause problems/crashes

      mac80211: filter multicast data packets on AP / AP_VLAN · 72f15d53
      Michael Braun 提交于
      This patch adds filtering for multicast data packets on AP_VLAN
      interfaces that have no authorized station connected and changes
      filtering on AP interfaces to not count stations assigned to
      AP_VLAN interfaces.
      
      This saves airtime and avoids waking up other stations currently
      authorized in this BSS. When using WPA, the packets dropped could
      not be decrypted by any station.
      
      The behaviour when there are no AP_VLAN interfaces is left unchanged.
      
      When there are AP_VLAN interfaces, this patch
      1. adds filtering multicast data packets sent on AP_VLAN interfaces
         that have no authorized station connected.
         No filtering happens on 4addr AP_VLAN interfaces.
      2. makes filtering of multicast data packets sent on AP interfaces
         depend on the number of authorized stations in this bss not
         assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.
      
      Therefore, a new num_mcast_sta counter is added for AP_VLAN interfaces.
      The existing one for AP interfaces is altered to not track stations
      assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.
      
      The new counter is exposed in debugfs.

      mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq · fa962b92
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      mac80211's software queues were designed to work
      very closely with device tx queues. They are
      required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
      easily and efficiently.
      
      Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
      only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
      hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
      inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.
      
      This change doesn't translate directly to
      immediate and significant gains. End result
      depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
      can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
      queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

      mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing · 80a83cfc
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
      aggregation requirements and hand out
      packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
      destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
      good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
      on an ethernet interface.
      
      Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
      congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
      hit. This meant in practice a single station or
      tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
      could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
      just end up with poor aggregation performance.
      Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
      latency which is also bad.
      
      Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
      taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
      control on the other hand makes it possible for
      tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
      preventing stations starving each other.
      
      This increases aggregation opportunities and
      should allow software queuing based drivers
      achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
      more efficiently with big aggregates.

      mac80211: mesh: fix cleanup for mesh pathtable · 0371a08f
      Bob Copeland 提交于
      The mesh path table needs to be around for the entire time the
      interface is in mesh mode, as users can perform an mpath dump
      at any time.  The existing path table lifetime is instead tied
      to the mesh BSS which can cause crashes when different MBSSes
      are joined in the context of a single interface, or when the
      path table is dumped when no MBSS is joined.
      
      Introduce a new function to perform the final teardown of the
      interface and perform path table cleanup there.  We already
      free the individual path elements when the leaving the mesh
      so no additional cleanup is needed there.  This fixes the
      following crash:

      mac80211: TDLS: handle chan-switch in RTNL locked work · c8ff71e6
      Arik Nemtsov 提交于
      Move TDLS channel-switch Rx handling into an RTNL locked work. This is
      required to add proper regulatory checking to incoming channel-switch
      requests.
      Queue incoming requests in a dedicated skb queue and handle the request
      in a device-specific work to avoid deadlocking on interface removal.

      mac80211: shut down interfaces before destroying interface list · d8d9008c
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If the hardware is unregistered while interfaces are up, mac80211 will
      unregister all interfaces, which in turns causes mac80211 to be called
      again to remove them all from the driver and eventually shut down the
      hardware.
      
      During this shutdown, however, it's currently already unsafe to iterate
      the list of interfaces atomically, as the list is manipulated in an
      unsafe manner. This puts an undue burden on the driver - it must stop
      all its activities before calling ieee80211_unregister_hw(), while in
      the normal stop path it can do all cleanup in the stop method. If, for
      example, it's using the iteration during RX for some reason, it would
      have to stop RX before unregistering to avoid crashes.
      
      Fix this problem by closing all interfaces before unregistering them.
      This will cause the driver stop to have completed before we manipulate
      the interface list, and after the driver is stopped *and* has called
      ieee80211_unregister_hw() it really musn't be iterating any more as
      the memory will be freed as well.

      mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap · 30686bf7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
      convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
      bitmaps.
      
      This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
      test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
      
      The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
      drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
      fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

      mac80211: fix AP_VLAN crypto tailroom calculation · f9dca80b
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      Some splats I was seeing:
      
       (a) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wep.c:102 ieee80211_wep_add_iv
       (b) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wpa.c:73 ieee80211_tx_h_michael_mic_add
       (c) WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 0 at /devel/src/linux/net/mac80211/wpa.c:433 ieee80211_crypto_ccmp_encrypt
      
      I've seen (a) and (b) with ath9k hw crypto and (c)
      with ath9k sw crypto. All of them were related to
      insufficient skb tailroom and I was able to
      trigger these with ping6 program.
      
      AP_VLANs may inherit crypto keys from parent AP.
      This wasn't considered and yielded problems in
      some setups resulting in inability to transmit
      data because mac80211 wouldn't resize skbs when
      necessary and subsequently drop some packets due
      to insufficient tailroom.
      
      For efficiency purposes don't inspect both AP_VLAN
      and AP sdata looking for tailroom counter. Instead
      update AP_VLAN tailroom counters whenever their
      master AP tailroom counter changes.

      mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation · ba8c3d6f
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
      they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
      short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.
      
      The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
      queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
      calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
      management later without changing drivers using this code.
      
      This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
      aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.
