commit 6e46d8ce894374fc135c96a8d1057c6af1fef237 upstream.

When HW ROC is supported it is possible that after the HW notified
that the ROC has started, the ROC was cancelled and another ROC was
added while the hw_roc_start worker is waiting on the mutex (since
cancelling the ROC and adding another one also holds the same mutex).
As a result, the hw_roc_start worker will continue to run after the
new ROC is added but before it is actually started by the HW.
This may result in notifying userspace that the ROC has started before
it actually does, or in case of management tx ROC, in an attempt to
tx while not on the right channel.

In addition, when the driver will notify mac80211 that the second ROC
has started, mac80211 will warn that this ROC has already been
notified.

Fix this by flushing the hw_roc_start work before cancelling an ROC.

commit 769dc04db3ed8484798aceb015b94deacc2ba557 upstream.

When a peer sends a BAR frame with PM bit clear, we should
not modify its PM state as madated by the spec in

commit a9e9200d8661c1a0be8c39f93deb383dc940de35 upstream.

The issue was found when entering suspend and resume.
It triggers a warning in:

...
WARN_ON_ONCE(sdata-&gt;crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt ||
             sdata-&gt;crypto_tx_tailroom_pending_dec);
...

It points out sdata-&gt;crypto_tx_tailroom_pending_dec isn't cleaned up successfully
in a delayed_work during suspend. Add a flush_delayed_work to fix it.

<title>mac80211: discard multicast and 4-addr A-MSDUs</title>

[ Upstream commit ea720935cf6686f72def9d322298bf7e9bd53377 ]

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>

[ Upstream commit 6b07d9ca9b5363dda959b9582a3fc9c0b89ef3b5 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit cf44012810ccdd8fd947518e965cb04b7b8498be ]

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!)

[ Upstream commit fe7a7c57629e8dcbc0e297363a9b2366d67a6dc5 ]

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:

[ Upstream commit fe7a7c57629e8dcbc0e297363a9b2366d67a6dc5 ]

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:

[ Upstream commit 1ec7bae8bec9b72e347e01330c745ab5cdd66f0e ]

Public Action frames use special rules for how the BSSID field (Address
3) is set. A wildcard BSSID is used in cases where the transmitter and
recipient are not members of the same BSS. As such, we need to accept
Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID.

Commit db8e17324553 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when
operating as AP") added a rule that drops Action frames to TDLS-peers
based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID
(Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility
of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not
necessarily match.

Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action
frame when in AP mode.

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

[ Upstream commit 7a36b930e6ed4702c866dc74a5ad07318a57c688 ]

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.
