mac80211: properly deal with station hashtable insert errors

2016-04-20T05:08:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 62b14b241ca6f790a17ccd9dd9f62ce1b006d406 ]

The original hand-implemented hash-table in mac80211 couldn't result
in insertion errors, and while converting to rhashtable I evidently
forgot to check the errors.

This surfaced now only because Ben is adding many identical keys and
that resulted in hidden insertion errors.

mac80211: Fix Public Action frame RX in AP mode

2016-03-22T15:10:26+00:00

[ 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.

mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUs

2016-03-22T15:10:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9acc54beb474c81148e2946603d141cf8716b19f ]

Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments
have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this
security issue and now has the following text:

	The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent
	MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1.

Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the
relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication
is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

mac80211: minstrel_ht: set default tx aggregation timeout to 0

2016-03-18T03:13:57+00:00

[ 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.

mac80211: minstrel: Change expected throughput unit back to Kbps

2016-03-18T03:13:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 212c5a5e6ba61678be6b5fee576e38bccb50b613 ]

The change from cur_tp to the function
minstrel_get_tp_avg/minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg changed the unit used for the
current throughput. For example in minstrel_ht the correct
conversion between them would be:

    mrs->cur_tp / 10 == minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg(..).

This factor 10 must also be included in the calculation of
minstrel_get_expected_throughput and minstrel_ht_get_expected_throughput to
return values with the unit [Kbps] instead of [10Kbps]. Otherwise routing
algorithms like B.A.T.M.A.N. V will make incorrect decision based on these
values. Its kernel based implementation expects expected_throughput always
to have the unit [Kbps] and not sometimes [10Kbps] and sometimes [Kbps].

The same requirement has iw or olsrdv2's nl80211 based statistics module
which retrieve the same data via NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE.

mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation

[ Upstream commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 ]

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

mac80211: Requeue work after scan complete for all VIF types.

2016-02-15T20:45:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4fa11ec726a32ea6dd768dbb2e2af3453a98ec0a ]

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.

comparisons, it must be divided by since it's represented
