The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211.
Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they
are not mac80211 specific. The moving allows some fullmac drivers
to be also benefit from these utility functions.Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi

IEEE 802.11w/D9.0 introduces a mechanism for Action field Category
values to be used to select which Action frames are Robust. Public and
Vendor-specific categories are marked as not Robust in IEEE 802.11w;
HT will be marked not Robust in IEEE 802.11n. A new Vendor-specific
Protected category is allocated for Robust vendor-specific Action
frames. Another new category, Protected Dual of Action, is introduced
for protecting some existing Public Action frames (e.g., IEEE 802.11y
protected enablement).Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

The TIM IE must not be shorter than 4 bytes, so verify that
when parsing it and use the proper type. To ease that adjust
struct ieee80211_tim_ie to have a virtual bitmap of size
at least 1.Also check that the TIM IE is actually present before trying
to parse it!Because other people may need the function, make it a static
inline in ieee80211.h.(The original "mac80211: validate TIM IE length" was a minimal fix for
2.6.30. This purports to be the full, correct fix. -- JWL)Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

The separate Association Comeback Time IE was removed from IEEE 802.11w
and the Timeout Interval IE (from IEEE 802.11r) is used instead. The
editing on this is still somewhat incomplete in IEEE 802.11w/D7.0, but
still, the use of Timeout Interval IE is the expected mechanism.Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

When MFP is enabled, the AP does not allow a STA to associate if an
existing security association exists without first going through SA
Query process. When this happens, the association request is denied
with a new status code ("temporarily rejected") ans Association
Comeback IE is used to notify when the association may be tried again
(i.e., when the SA Query procedure has timed out).Use the comeback time to update the mac80211 client MLME timer for
next association attempt to minimize waiting time if association is
temporarily rejected.Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez

This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be
used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values
can be written into this file to change PS mode:
0 = power save disabled (constantly awake)
1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll)
2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive
buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented
3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame)Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested:
- move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a
time)
- move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps'
debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a timeMode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but
eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a
traffic bit is set for our AID.Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

enable_ht parameter
* mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht
* mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie
to an information element _contents_ rather than the
whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds
access bug fixed!)
* mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON
checking
* a few minor other thingsSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg

Replaced by the new helper ieee80211_has_morefrags which is
more consistent with the intent of the function.Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville -
A few general categories:
1) ieee80211_has_* tests if particular fctl bits are set, the helpers are de
in the same order as the fctl defines:A combined _has_a4 was also added to test when both FROMDS and TODS are set.
2) ieee80211_is_* is meant to test whether the frame control is of a certain
ftype - data, mgmt, ctl, and two special helpers _is_data_qos, _is_data_pres
which also test a subset of the stype space.When testing for a particular stype applicable only to one ftype, functions
like ieee80211_is_ack have been added. Note that the ftype is also being
checked in these helpers. They have been added for all mgmt and ctl stypes
in the same order as the STYPE defines.3) ieee80211_get_* is meant to take a struct ieee80211_hdr * and returns a
pointer to somewhere in the struct, see get_SA, get_DA, get_qos_ctl.The intel wireless drivers had helpers that used this namespace, convert the
all to use the new helpers and remove the byteshifting as they were defined
in cpu-order rather than little-endian.Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison

This patch allows to disable FAT channel in specific configurations.
For example the configuration (8, +1), (primary channel 8, extension
channel 12) isn't permitted in U.S., but (8, -1), (primary channel 8,
extension channel 4) is. When FAT channel configuration is not
permitted, FAT channel should be reported as not supported in the
capabilities of the HT IE in association request. And sssociation is
