mac80211: consider more elements in parsing CRC

2020-03-11T06:51:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit a04564c99bb4a92f805a58e56b2d22cc4978f152 ]

We only use the parsing CRC for checking if a beacon changed,
and elements with an ID > 63 cannot be represented in the
filter. Thus, like we did before with WMM and Cisco vendor
elements, just statically add these forgotten items to the
CRC:
 - WLAN_EID_VHT_OPERATION
 - WLAN_EID_OPMODE_NOTIF

I guess that in most cases when VHT/HE operation change, the HT
operation also changed, and so the change was picked up, but we
did notice that pure operating mode notification changes were
ignored.

mac80211: add stations tied to AP_VLANs during hw reconfig

2018-09-05T07:18:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 19103a4bfb42f320395daa5616ece3e89e759d63 ]

As part of hw reconfig, only stations linked to AP interfaces are added
back to the driver ignoring those which are tied to AP_VLAN interfaces.

It is true that there could be stations tied to the AP_VLAN interface while
serving 4addr clients or when using AP_VLAN for VLAN operations; we should
be adding these stations back to the driver as part of hw reconfig, failing
to do so can cause functional issues.

In the case of ath10k driver, the following errors were observed.

These issues got fixed by adding the stations which are

mac80211: allow not sending MIC up from driver for HW crypto

2018-05-16T08:06:46+00:00

commit f980ebc058c2fa2a552e495db1de0b330082ab70 upstream.

When HW crypto is used, there's no need for the CCMP/GCMP MIC to
be available to mac80211, and the hardware might have removed it
already after checking. The MIC is also useless to have when the
frame is already decrypted, so allow indicating that it's not
present.

Since we are running out of bits in mac80211_rx_flags, make
the flags field a u64.

mac80211: reprogram in interface order

2015-12-15T12:13:59+00:00

During reprogramming, mac80211 currently first adds all the channel
contexts, then binds them to the vifs and then goes to reconfigure
all the interfaces. Drivers might, perhaps implicitly, rely on the
operation order for certain things that typically happen within a
single function elsewhere in mac80211. To avoid problems with that,
reorder the code in mac80211's restart/reprogramming to work fully
within the interface loop so that the order of operations is like
in normal operation.

For iwlwifi, this fixes a firmware crash when reprogramming with an
AP/GO interface active.

mac80211: run scan completed work on reconfig failure

2015-12-15T12:12:50+00:00

When reconfiguration during resume fails while a scan is pending
for completion work, that work will never run, and the scan will
be stuck forever. Factor out the code to recover this and call it
also in ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure().

mac80211: make enable_qos parameter to ieee80211_set_wmm_default()

2015-11-03T09:55:55+00:00

The function currently determines this value, for use in bss_info.qos,
based on the interface type itself. Make it a parameter instead and
set it with the same logic for now.

mac80211: TDLS: add proper HT-oper IE

2015-11-03T09:42:47+00:00

When 11n peers performs a TDLS connection on a legacy BSS, the HT
operation IE must be specified according to IEEE802.11-2012 section
9.23.3.2. Otherwise HT-protection is compromised and the medium becomes
noisy for both the TDLS and the BSS links.

mac80211: don't reconfigure sched scan in case of wowlan

2015-11-03T09:42:05+00:00

Scheduled scan has to be reconfigured only if wowlan wasn't
configured, since otherwise it should continue to run (with
the 'any' trigger) or be aborted.

The current code will end up asking the driver to start a new
scheduled scan without stopping the previous one, and leaking
some memory (from the previous request.)

Fix this by doing the abort/restart under the proper conditions.

mac80211: call drv_stop only if driver is started

2015-11-03T09:41:12+00:00

If drv_start() fails during hw_restart, all the running
interfaces are being closed/stopped, which results in
drv_stop() being called, although the driver was never
started successfully.

This might cause drivers to perform operations on uninitialized
memory (as they assume it was initialized on drv_start)

Consider the local->started flag, and call the driver's stop()
op only if drv_start() succeeded before.

Move drv_start() and drv_stop() to driver-ops.c, as they are no
longer simple wrappers.

mac80211: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE in ieee80211_recalc_smps

2015-11-03T09:41:02+00:00

The recalc_smps work can run after the station disassociates.
At this stage we already released the channel, but the work
will be cancelled only when the interface stops.
In this scenario we can hit the warning in ieee80211_recalc_smps, so
just remove it.
