cfg80211: check dev_set_name() return value

2018-01-15T10:35:06+00:00

syzbot reported a warning from rfkill_alloc(), and after a while
I think that the reason is that it was doing fault injection and
the dev_set_name() failed, leaving the name NULL, and we didn't
check the return value and got to rfkill_alloc() with a NULL name.
Since we really don't want a NULL name, we ought to check the
return value.

cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file

2017-10-11T11:04:15+00:00

As the current regulatory database is only about 4k big, and already
difficult to extend, we decided that overall it would be better to
get rid of the complications with CRDA and load the database into the
kernel directly, but in a new format that is extensible.

The new file format can be extended since it carries a length field
on all the structs that need to be extensible.

In order to be able to request firmware when the module initializes,
move cfg80211 from subsys_initcall() to the later fs_initcall(); the
firmware loader is at the same level but linked earlier, so it can
be called from there. Otherwise, when both the firmware loader and
cfg80211 are built-in, the request will crash the kernel. We also
need to be before device_initcall() so that cfg80211 is available
for devices when they initialize.

cfg80211: support 4-way handshake offloading for 802.1X

2017-06-13T08:44:09+00:00

Add API for setting the PMK to the driver. For FT support, allow
setting also the PMK-R0 Name.

This can be used by drivers that support 4-Way handshake offload
while IEEE802.1X authentication is managed by upper layers.

cfg80211: add request id to cfg80211_sched_scan_*() api

SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED notifications toward user-space by having the
driver provide it through the api.

nl80211: allow multiple active scheduled scan requests

2017-04-26T21:17:38+00:00

This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests
running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming
request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to
use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is
treated as a legacy scan.

Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support
a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

cfg80211: simplify netlink socket owner interface deletion

2017-04-26T21:17:35+00:00

There's no need to allocate a portid structure and then, for
each of those, walk the interfaces - we can just add a flag
to each interface and walk those directly. Due to padding in
the struct, we can even do it without any memory cost, and
it even simplifies the code.

cfg80211: preserve wdev ID across netns changes

2017-03-17T10:39:55+00:00

When a wdev changes network namespace, its wdev ID will get
reassigned since NETDEV_REGISTER is called again, in the new
network namespace. Avoid that by checking if it was already
assigned before, and document why we do that.

cfg80211: Share Channel DFS state across wiphys of same DFS domain

2017-03-06T12:54:20+00:00

Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could
be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio
completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio
can use this information and start beaconing without really doing
CAC.

Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to
a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to
other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration.
Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of
other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI thresholds for CQM

2017-03-06T08:21:38+00:00

Change the SET CQM command's RSSI threshold attribute to accept any
number of thresholds as a sorted array.  The API should be backwards
compatible so that if one s32 threshold value is passed, the old
mechanism is enabled.  The netlink event generated is the same in both
cases.

cfg80211 handles an arbitrary number of RSSI thresholds but drivers have
to provide a method (set_cqm_rssi_range_config) that configures a range
set by a high and a low value.  Drivers have to call back when the RSSI
goes out of that range and there's no additional event for each time the
range is reconfigured as there was with the current one-threshold API.

This method doesn't have a hysteresis parameter because there's no
benefit to the cfg80211 code from having the hysteresis be handled by
hardware/driver in terms of the number of wakeups.  At the same time
it would likely be less consistent between drivers if offloaded or
done in the drivers.
