commit d0c22119f574b851e63360c6b8660fe9593bbc3c upstream.

The mesh forwarding path was not checking that data
frames were protected when running an encrypted network;
add the necessary check.

commit aa75ebc275b2a91b193654a177daf900ad6703f0 upstream.

Some APs experience problems when working with
U-APSD. Decreasing the probability of that
happening by using legacy mode for all ACs but VO
isn't enough.

Cisco 4410N originally forced us to enable VO by
default only because it treated non-VO ACs as
legacy.

However some APs (notably Netgear R7000) silently
reclassify packets to different ACs. Since u-APSD
ACs require trigger frames for frame retrieval
clients would never see some frames (e.g. ARP
responses) or would fetch them accidentally after
a long time.

It makes little sense to enable u-APSD queues by
default because it needs userspace applications to
be aware of it to actually take advantage of the
possible additional powersavings. Implicitly
depending on driver autotrigger frame support
doesn't make much sense.

commit 28a9bc68124c319b2b3dc861e80828a8865fd1ba upstream.

When writing the code to allow per-station GTKs, I neglected to
take into account the management frame keys (index 4 and 5) when
freeing the station and only added code to free the first four
data frame keys.

Fix this by iterating the array of keys over the right length.

commit d025933e29872cb1fe19fc54d80e4dfa4ee5779c upstream.

As multicast-frames can't be fragmented, "dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount"
stopped being incremented after the use-after-free fix. Furthermore, the
RX-LED will be triggered by every multicast frame (which wouldn't happen
before) which wouldn't allow the LED to rest at all.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89431 which also had the
patch.

commit b8fff407a180286aa683d543d878d98d9fc57b13 upstream.

Upon receiving the last fragment, all but the first fragment
are freed, but the multicast check for statistics at the end
of the function refers to the current skb (the last fragment)
causing a use-after-free bug.

Since multicast frames cannot be fragmented and we check for
this early in the function, just modify that check to also
do the accounting to fix the issue.

commit c7abf25af0f41be4b50d44c5b185d52eea360cb8 upstream.

It affects non-(V)HT rates and can lead to selecting an rts_cts rate
that is not a basic rate or way superior to the reference rate (ATM
rates[0] used for the 1st attempt of the protected frame data).

E.g, assuming drivers register growing (bitrate) sorted tables of
ieee80211_rate-s, having :
- rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10100
will select rts_cts idx b'10011 &amp; ~d'(BIT(2)-1), i.e. 1, likewise
- rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10001
will select rts_cts idx b'10000
The first is not a basic rate and the second is &gt; rates[0].

Also, wrt severity of the addressed misbehavior, ATM we only have one
rts_cts_rate_idx rather than one per rate table entry, so this idx might
still point to bitrates &gt; rates[1..MAX_RATES].

commit bb512ad0732232f1d2693bb68f31a76bed8f22ae upstream.

This reverts commit 24aa11ab8ae03292d38ec0dbd9bc2ac49fe8a6dd.

That commit was wrong since it uses data that hasn't even been set
up yet, but might be a hold-over from a previous connection.

Additionally, it seems like a driver-specific workaround that
shouldn't have been in mac80211 to start with.
