{nl,mac}80211: fix interface combinations on crypto controlled devices

2019-08-29T06:30:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit e6f4051123fd33901e9655a675b22aefcdc5d277 ]

Commit 33d915d9e8ce ("{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on
crypto controlled devices") has introduced a change which allows
4addr operation on crypto controlled devices (ex: ath10k). This
change has inadvertently impacted the interface combinations logic
on such devices.

General rule is that software interfaces like AP/VLAN should not be
listed under supported interface combinations and should not be
considered during validation of these combinations; because of the
aforementioned change, AP/VLAN interfaces(if present) will be checked
against interfaces supported by the device and blocks valid interface
combinations.

Consider a case where an AP and AP/VLAN are up and running; when a
second AP device is brought up on the same physical device, this AP
will be checked against the AP/VLAN interface (which will not be
part of supported interface combinations of the device) and blocks
second AP to come up.

Add a new API cfg80211_iftype_allowed() to fix the problem, this
API works for all devices with/without SW crypto control.

Merge tag 'spdx-5.2-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx

Pull still more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6

  Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
  for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
  that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
  are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
  will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.

  Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
	Files checked:            64545
	Files with SPDX:          45529

  Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
	Files checked:            63848
	Files with SPDX:          22576

  This is a huge improvement.

  Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,
  always nice to see in a diffstat"

mac80211: do not start any work during reconfigure flow

2019-06-14T13:46:33+00:00

It is not a good idea to try to perform any work (e.g. send an auth
frame) during reconfigure flow.

Prevent this from happening, and at the end of the reconfigure flow
requeue all the works.

{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled devices

2019-05-24T09:26:54+00:00

As per the current design, in the case of sw crypto controlled devices,
it is the device which advertises the support for AP/VLAN iftype based
on it's ability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software
(In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific
VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff
("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices")
has introduced this change.

Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional
way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on
crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality.

In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN
functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN
support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are
also blocked.

Fix this by allowing 4addr operation on devices which do not support
AP/VLAN iftype but can support 4addr AP operation (decision is based on
the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).

cfg80211: don't pass pointer to pointer unnecessarily

2019-04-26T11:02:11+00:00

The cfg80211_merge_profile() and ieee802_11_find_bssid_profile() are
a bit cleaner if we just pass the merged_ie pointer instead of a pointer
to the pointer.

This isn't a functional change, it's just a clean up.

mac80211: support max channel switch time element

2019-02-22T12:42:54+00:00

2018 REVmd of the spec introduces the max channel switch time
element which is optionally included in beacons/probes when there
is a channel switch / extended channel switch element.
The value represents the maximum delay between the time the AP
transmitted the last beacon in current channel and the expected
time of the first beacon in the new channel, in TU.

Parse the value and pass it to the driver.
