mac80211: populate debugfs only after cfg80211 init

2020-04-29T14:34:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6cb5f3ea4654faf8c28b901266e960b1a4787b26 ]

When fixing the initialization race, we neglected to account for
the fact that debugfs is initialized in wiphy_register(), and
some debugfs things went missing (or rather were rerooted to the
global debugfs root).

Fix this by adding debugfs entries only after wiphy_register().
This requires some changes in the rate control code since it
currently adds debugfs at alloc time, which can no longer be
done after the reordering.

mac80211: fix race in ieee80211_register_hw()

2020-04-21T07:08:10+00:00

commit 52e04b4ce5d03775b6a78f3ed1097480faacc9fd upstream.

A race condition leading to a kernel crash is observed during invocation
of ieee80211_register_hw() on a dragonboard410c device having wcn36xx
driver built as a loadable module along with a wifi manager in user-space
waiting for a wifi device (wlanX) to be active.

Sequence diagram for a particular kernel crash scenario:

    user-space  ieee80211_register_hw()  ieee80211_tasklet_handler()
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       |                    |                 |
       |<---phy0----wiphy_register()          |
       |-----iwd if_add---->|                 |
       |                    |<---IRQ----(RX packet)
       |              Kernel crash            |
       |              due to unallocated      |
       |              workqueue.              |
       |                    |                 |
       |       alloc_ordered_workqueue()      |
       |                    |                 |
       |              Misc wiphy init.        |
       |                    |                 |
       |            ieee80211_if_add()        |
       |                    |                 |

As evident from above sequence diagram, this race condition isn't specific
to a particular wifi driver but rather the initialization sequence in
ieee80211_register_hw() needs to be fixed. So re-order the initialization
sequence and the updated sequence diagram would look like:

    user-space  ieee80211_register_hw()  ieee80211_tasklet_handler()
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       |                    |                 |
       |       alloc_ordered_workqueue()      |
       |                    |                 |
       |              Misc wiphy init.        |
       |                    |                 |
       |<---phy0----wiphy_register()          |
       |-----iwd if_add---->|                 |
       |                    |<---IRQ----(RX packet)
       |                    |                 |
       |            ieee80211_if_add()        |
       |                    |                 |

mac80211: fix authentication with iwlwifi/mvm

2020-04-02T06:02:30+00:00

commit be8c827f50a0bcd56361b31ada11dc0a3c2fd240 upstream.

The original patch didn't copy the ieee80211_is_data() condition
because on most drivers the management frames don't go through
this path. However, they do on iwlwifi/mvm, so we do need to keep
the condition here.

mac80211: set IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO for nl80211 TX

2020-03-26T14:54:12+00:00

When a frame is transmitted via the nl80211 TX rather than as a
normal frame, IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO wasn't set and
this will lead to wrong decisions (rate control etc.) being made
about the frame; fix this.

mac80211: mark station unauthorized before key removal

2020-03-26T14:52:25+00:00

If a station is still marked as authorized, mark it as no longer
so before removing its keys. This allows frames transmitted to it
to be rejected, providing additional protection against leaking
plain text data during the disconnection flow.

mac80211: Check port authorization in the ieee80211_tx_dequeue() case

2020-03-26T14:52:14+00:00

mac80211 used to check port authorization in the Data frame enqueue case
when going through start_xmit(). However, that authorization status may
change while the frame is waiting in a queue. Add a similar check in the
dequeue case to avoid sending previously accepted frames after
authorization change. This provides additional protection against
potential leaking of frames after a station has been disconnected and
the keys for it are being removed.

mac80211: drop data frames without key on encrypted links

2020-03-26T14:49:24+00:00

If we know that we have an encrypted link (based on having had
a key configured for TX in the past) then drop all data frames
in the key selection handler if there's no key anymore.

This fixes an issue with mac80211 internal TXQs - there we can
buffer frames for an encrypted link, but then if the key is no
longer there when they're dequeued, the frames are sent without
encryption. This happens if a station is disconnected while the
frames are still on the TXQ.

Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

local->sta_mtx is held in __ieee80211_check_fast_rx_iface().
No need to use list_for_each_entry_rcu() as it also requires
a cond argument to avoid false lockdep warnings when not used in
RCU read-side section (with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST).
Therefore use list_for_each_entry();
