This mechanism was historic, and only ever used by IBSS, which
also doesn't need to have it as it properly manages station's
802.1X PAE state (or, with WEP, always has a key.)Remove the mechanism to clean up the code.

When a key is installed using a cipher scheme, set a new
internal key flag (KEY_FLAG_CIPHER_SCHEME) on it, to allow
distinguishing such keys more easily.In particular, use this flag on the TX path instead of
testing the sta->cipher_scheme pointer, as the station is
NULL for broad-/multicast message, and use the key's iv_len
instead of the cipher scheme information.Signed-off-by: Cedric Izoard

On very high MCS bitrates, the calculated duration of rates that are
next to each other can be very imprecise, due to the small packet size
used as reference (1200 bytes).
This is most visible in VHT80 nss=2 MCS8/9, for which minstrel shows the
same throughput when the probability is also the same. This leads to a
bad rate selection for such rates.Fix this issue by introducing an average A-MPDU size factor into the
calculation.Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau

Currently when TDLS station in driver goes from authenticated
to associated state it can not use rate control parameters
because rate control is not initialized yet. Some drivers
require parameters already initialized by rate control when
entering associated state. It can be done by initializing
rate control after station transition to associated state but
before notifying driver about that.Signed-off-by: Marek Puzyniak

Timeout was scheduled only in case CRDA was called due to user hints,
but was not scheduled for other cases. This can result in regulatory
hint processing getting stuck in case that there is no CRDA configured.Change this by scheduling a timeout every time CRDA is called. In
addition, in restore_regulatory_settings() all pending requests are
restored (and not only the user ones).Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer

Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as
long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment
setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic
as:- It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile
AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the
station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making
the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to
invalidate the setting.
- A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that
the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g.,
it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still
stays indoor.To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow
user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to
indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that:1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going
to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting
internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process
should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command
to state that it is going to control the indoor setting.
2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in
case it is not owned by a user space process.Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the
indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can
indicate environment changes to the regulatory core.It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism
used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment --
while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely
ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs
typically can contain bogus data.Acked-by: Luis R. Rodriguez

Jouni reported that certain combinations of hwsim test cases failed,
and we found that beaconing was erroneously enabled too early on any
channel switch, which lead to the BI of 2000 TU from the first test
case to leak into the second one, which then didn't beacon properly.To fix this, set data->beacon_int to zero when all stop beaconing so
that beaconing cannot be started (which was intended as 'restarted')
elsewhere.Additionally, Jouni found that due to this 'restart' and the beacon
interval handling station interfaces would also have a needlessly
running beacon timer all the time, of course not doing anything.To also fix the latter case only use the beacon interval when it's
actually needed, i.e. when beaconing gets enabled.Reported-by: Jouni Malinen

Sometimes the driver might want to modify private data in interfaces
that are down. One possible use-case is cleaning up interface state
after HW recovery. Some interfaces that were up before the recovery took
place might be down now, but they might still be "dirty".Introduce a new iterate_interfaces() API and a new ACTIVE iterator flag.

APIs remains the same.Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov

If the device supports waking up on 'any' signal - i.e. it continues
operating as usual and wakes up the host on pretty much anything that
happens, then it makes no sense to also configure the more restricted
WoWLAN mode where the device operates more autonomously but also in a
more restricted fashion.Currently only cw2100 supports both 'any' and other triggers, but it
seems to be broken as it doesn't configure anything to the device, so
we can't currently get into a situation where both even can correctly
be configured. This is about to change (Intel devices are going to
support both and have different behaviour depending on configuration)
so make sure the conflicting modes cannot be configured.(It seems that cw2100 advertises 'any' and 'disconnect' as a means of
saying that's what it will always do, but that isn't really the way
this API was meant to be used nor does it actually mean anything as
'any' always implies 'disconnect' already, and the driver doesn't
change device configuration in any way depending on the settings.)Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

The ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() function currently entirely ignores
the fact that the SKB that is passed in might be split into more
than one due to fragmentation and doesn't check the list of skbs

leak them.Fix this and also don't leave the skb next/prev pointers dangling

TDLS off-channel can be allowed in channels marked with GO_CONCURRENT,
provided the device is connected to an AP on the same UNII.
When relaxing the NO-IR requirements for TDLS, we might hit flows in

to allow this during TDLS setup.
Acquire the RCU read lock later in the flow that invokes

If the driver rejects WoWLAN, restart the queues before returning

Drivers can't really be expected to suspend properly while auth
or assoc is in progress since then they don't have any state
they could keep with WoWLAN, nor can they actually finish the
authentication or association. In fact, keeping this can cause
subtle issues with drivers like iwlwifi that refuse WoWLAN if
not associated, but have trouble figuring out what's going on
in the middle of association.In any case, regardless of possible driver issues in this area,
it doesn't make sense for mac80211 to try to WoWLAN-suspend in
the middle of such operations, so stop them before.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

If any interface fails to be added to the driver in during reconfig,

Since cfg80211 disconnects, but has no insight into the association
process, it can happen that it disconnects while association is in
progress. We then try to abort association in mac80211, but this is
only later so the association can complete between the two.This results in removing an interface from the driver while bound
to the channel context, obviously causing confusion and issues.Solve this by also checking if we're associated during quiesce and
if so deauthenticating. The frame will no longer go out to the AP
which is a bit unfortunate, but it'll resolve the crash (and before
we would have suspended without telling the AP as well.)I'm working on a better, but more complex solution as well, which
should avoid that problem.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Beacon's timestamp, device system time associated with this beacon and
DTIM count parameters are not updated in the associated vif context
if the latest beacon's content is identical to the previously received.
It make sense to update these changing parameters on every beacon so the
driver can get most updated values. This may be necessary, for example,
to avoid either beacons' drift effect or device time stamp overrun.
IMPORTANT: Three sync_* parameters - sync_ts, sync_device_ts and
sync_dtim_count would possibly be out of sync by the time the driver will
use them. The synchronized view is currently guaranteed only in certain

802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.Signed-off-by: Dedy Lansky

When using the wext compatibility code in cfg80211, part of the IEs
can be truncated if the passed user buffer is large enough for part
of the BSS but not large enough for all of the IEs. This can cause

Revert commit ad38bfc916da ("mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics")
(along with some follow-up fixes).This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we
thought, and we've internally hacked it up more, but that's not
very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that
with tracing instead.Therefore, for now at least, remove this code. We might also need

Both wpa_supplicant and mac80211 have and inactivity timer. By default
wpa_supplicant will be timed out in 5 minutes and mac80211's it is 30
minutes. If wpa_supplicant uses a longer timer than mac80211, it will
get unexpected disconnection by mac80211.Using 0xffffffff instead as the configured value could solve this w/o
changing the code, but due to integer overflow in the expression used
this doesn't work. The expression is:(current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250)
On 32bit system, the right side would overflow and be a very small
value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large,
causing unexpectedly early disconnections.Instead allow disabling the inactivity timer to avoid this situation,
by passing the (previously invalid and useless) value 0.Signed-off-by: Masashi Honma
