mac80211: fix use of skb payload instead of header

2020-11-18T17:24:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 14f46c1e5108696ec1e5a129e838ecedf108c7bf ]

When ieee80211_skb_resize() is called from ieee80211_build_hdr()
the skb has no 802.11 header yet, in fact it consist only of the
payload as the ethernet frame is removed. As such, we're using
the payload data for ieee80211_is_mgmt(), which is of course
completely wrong. This didn't really hurt us because these are
always data frames, so we could only have added more tailroom
than we needed if we determined it was a management frame and
sdata->crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt was false.

However, syzbot found that of course there need not be any payload,
so we're using at best uninitialized memory for the check.

Fix this to pass explicitly the kind of frame that we have instead
of checking there, by replacing the "bool may_encrypt" argument
with an argument that can carry the three possible states - it's
not going to be encrypted, it's a management frame, or it's a data
frame (and then we check sdata->crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt).

mac80211: add ieee80211_is_any_nullfunc()

2020-05-10T08:26:36+00:00

commit 30b2f0be23fb40e58d0ad2caf8702c2a44cda2e1 upstream.

commit 08a5bdde3812 ("mac80211: consider QoS Null frames for STA_NULLFUNC_ACKED")
Fixed a bug where we failed to take into account a
nullfunc frame can be either non-QoS or QoS. It turns out
there is at least one more bug in
ieee80211_sta_tx_notify(), introduced in
commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing"),
where we forgot to check for the QoS variant and so
assumed the QoS nullfunc frame never went out

Fix this by adding a helper ieee80211_is_any_nullfunc()
which consolidates the check for non-QoS and QoS nullfunc
frames. Replace existing compound conditionals and add a
couple more missing checks for QoS variant.

mac80211: ensure that mgmt tx skbs have tailroom for encryption

2019-02-20T09:13:19+00:00

commit 9d0f50b80222dc273e67e4e14410fcfa4130a90c upstream.

Some drivers use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX to indicate that management
frames need to be software encrypted. Since normal data packets are still
encrypted by the hardware, crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt gets decremented
after key upload to hw. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb,
which don't have the necessary tailroom for software encryption.

Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.

mac80211: fix reordering of buffered broadcast packets

2018-12-13T08:21:37+00:00

commit 9ec1190d065998650fd9260dea8cf3e1f56c0e8c upstream.

If the buffered broadcast queue contains packets, letting new packets bypass
that queue can lead to heavy reordering, since the driver is probably throttling
transmission of buffered multicast packets after beacons.

Keep buffering packets until the buffer has been cleared (and no client
is in powersave mode).

mac80211: initialize fast-xmit 'info' later

2017-01-12T10:22:43+00:00

commit 35f432a03e41d3bf08c51ede917f94e2288fbe8c upstream.

In ieee80211_xmit_fast(), 'info' is initialized to point to the skb
that's passed in, but that skb may later be replaced by a clone (if
it was shared), leading to an invalid pointer.

This can lead to use-after-free and also later crashes since the
real SKB's info->hw_queue doesn't get initialized properly.

Fix this by assigning info only later, when it's needed, after the
skb replacement (may have) happened.

mac80211: fix purging multicast PS buffer queue

2016-09-07T06:32:41+00:00

commit 6b07d9ca9b5363dda959b9582a3fc9c0b89ef3b5 upstream.

The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have
a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting.
However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx
status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames"
warning on module reload.
Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.

mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structs

2015-10-21T08:08:22+00:00

Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated
(TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of
the struct sta_info.

Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it
obvious where they belong.

This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are
updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them.

mac80211: fix tx sequence number assignment with software queue + fast-xmit

2015-09-29T13:56:51+00:00

When using software queueing, tx sequence number assignment happens at
ieee80211_tx_dequeue time, so the fast-xmit codepath must not do that.
