commit ea720935cf6686f72def9d322298bf7e9bd53377 upstream.

In mac80211, multicast A-MSDUs are accepted in many cases that
they shouldn't be accepted in:
 * drop A-MSDUs with a multicast A1 (RA), as required by the
   spec in 9.11 (802.11-2012 version)
 * drop A-MSDUs with a 4-addr header, since the fourth address
   can't actually be useful for them; unless 4-address frame
   format is actually requested, even though the fourth address
   is still not useful in this case, but ignored

Accepting the first case, in particular, is very problematic
since it allows anyone else with possession of a GTK to send
unicast frames encapsulated in a multicast A-MSDU, even when
the AP has client isolation enabled.

<title>mac80211: fix purging multicast PS buffer queue</title>

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.

commit 126e7557328a1cd576be4fca95b133a2695283ff upstream.

If a user space program (e.g., wpa_supplicant) deletes a STA entry that
is currently in NL80211_PLINK_ESTAB state, the number of established
plinks counter was not decremented and this could result in rejecting
new plink establishment before really hitting the real maximum plink
limit. For !user_mpm case, this decrementation is handled by
mesh_plink_deactive().

Fix this by decrementing estab_plinks on STA deletion
(mesh_sta_cleanup() gets called from there) so that the counter has a
correct value and the Beacon frame advertisement in Mesh Configuration
element shows the proper value for capability to accept additional
peers.

<title>mac80211: mesh: flush mesh paths unconditionally</title>

commit fe7a7c57629e8dcbc0e297363a9b2366d67a6dc5 upstream.

Currently, the mesh paths associated with a nexthop station are cleaned
up in the following code path:

    __sta_info_destroy_part1
    synchronize_net()
    __sta_info_destroy_part2
     -&gt; cleanup_single_sta
       -&gt; mesh_sta_cleanup
         -&gt; mesh_plink_deactivate
           -&gt; mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop

However, there are a couple of problems here:

1) the paths aren't flushed at all if the MPM is running in userspace
   (e.g. when using wpa_supplicant or authsae)

2) there is no synchronize_rcu between removing the path and readers
   accessing the nexthop, which means the following race is possible:

CPU0                            CPU1
~~~~                            ~~~~
                                sta_info_destroy_part1()
                                synchronize_net()
rcu_read_lock()
mesh_nexthop_resolve()
  mpath = mesh_path_lookup()
                                [...] -&gt; mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop()
  sta = rcu_dereference(
    mpath-&gt;next_hop)
                                kfree(sta)
  access sta &lt;-- CRASH

Fix both of these by unconditionally flushing paths before destroying
the sta, and by adding a synchronize_net() after path flush to ensure
no active readers can still dereference the sta.

Fixes this crash:

commit fe7a7c57629e8dcbc0e297363a9b2366d67a6dc5 upstream.

Currently, the mesh paths associated with a nexthop station are cleaned
up in the following code path:

    __sta_info_destroy_part1
    synchronize_net()
    __sta_info_destroy_part2
     -&gt; cleanup_single_sta
       -&gt; mesh_sta_cleanup
         -&gt; mesh_plink_deactivate
           -&gt; mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop

However, there are a couple of problems here:

1) the paths aren't flushed at all if the MPM is running in userspace
   (e.g. when using wpa_supplicant or authsae)

2) there is no synchronize_rcu between removing the path and readers
   accessing the nexthop, which means the following race is possible:

CPU0                            CPU1
~~~~                            ~~~~
                                sta_info_destroy_part1()
                                synchronize_net()
rcu_read_lock()
mesh_nexthop_resolve()
  mpath = mesh_path_lookup()
                                [...] -&gt; mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop()
  sta = rcu_dereference(
    mpath-&gt;next_hop)
                                kfree(sta)
  access sta &lt;-- CRASH

Fix both of these by unconditionally flushing paths before destroying
the sta, and by adding a synchronize_net() after path flush to ensure
no active readers can still dereference the sta.

Fixes this crash:

commit ea32f065bd3e3e09f0bcb3042f1664caf6b3e233 upstream.

On error we jumped to the error label and returned the error code but we
missed releasing sinfo.

commit 0ef049dc1167fe834d0ad5d63f89eddc5c70f6e4 upstream.

When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, the sta_info_insert_finish
function consumes more stack than normally, exceeding the
1024 byte limit on ARM:

net/mac80211/sta_info.c: In function 'sta_info_insert_finish':
net/mac80211/sta_info.c:561:1: error: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

It turns out that there are two functions that put a 'struct station_info'
on the stack: __sta_info_destroy_part2 and sta_info_insert_finish, and
this structure alone requires up to 792 bytes.

Hoping that both are called rarely enough, this replaces the
on-stack structure with a dynamic allocation, which unfortunately
requires some suboptimal error handling for out-of-memory.

The __sta_info_destroy_part2 function is actually affected by the
stack usage twice because it calls cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo(), which
has another instance of struct station_info on its stack.

<title>mac80211: fix unnecessary frame drops in mesh fwding</title>

commit cf44012810ccdd8fd947518e965cb04b7b8498be upstream.

The ieee80211_queue_stopped() expects hw queue
number but it was given raw WMM AC number instead.

This could cause frame drops and problems with
traffic in some cases - most notably if driver
doesn't map AC numbers to queue numbers 1:1 and
uses ieee80211_stop_queues() and
ieee80211_wake_queue() only without ever calling
ieee80211_wake_queues().

On ath10k it was possible to hit this problem in
the following case:

  1. wlan0 uses queue 0
     (ath10k maps queues per vif)
  2. offchannel uses queue 15
  3. queues 1-14 are unused
  4. ieee80211_stop_queues()
  5. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=0)
  6. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=15)
     (other queues are not woken up because both
      driver and mac80211 know other queues are
      unused)
  7. ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding()
  8. ieee80211_select_queue_80211() returns 2
  9. ieee80211_queue_stopped(q=2) returns true
 10. frame is dropped (oops!)

<title>mac80211: minstrel_ht: set default tx aggregation timeout to 0</title>

commit 7a36b930e6ed4702c866dc74a5ad07318a57c688 upstream.

The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to
save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited
number of concurrent aggregation sessions.

Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need
this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been
recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with
ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse
effects.

<title>mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation</title>

commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 upstream.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct tid_ampdu_rx to
initialize the "removed" field (all others are initialized
manually). That fixes:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in net/mac80211/rx.c:932:29

While at it, convert to use sizeof(*tid_agg_rx) instead.

<title>mac80211: Requeue work after scan complete for all VIF types.</title>

commit 4fa11ec726a32ea6dd768dbb2e2af3453a98ec0a upstream.

During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs.
However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC
and MESH iftypes.

This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not
processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result
in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.
