cfg80211: remove WDS code

2020-11-11T07:39:13+00:00

Remove all the code that was there to configure WDS interfaces,
now that there's no way to reach it anymore.

cfg80211: initialize wdev data earlier

2020-10-30T09:03:59+00:00

There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that
NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available,
and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called
with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev
but using a netdev interface index.

I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't
really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro
for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into
cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without
the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates
the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the
change here happened after init.

However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init
needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a
netns move, when data might still be pending.

nl80211/cfg80211: support 6 GHz scanning

2020-09-28T11:53:04+00:00

Support 6 GHz scanning, by
 * a new scan flag to scan for colocated BSSes advertised
   by (and found) APs on 2.4 & 5 GHz
 * doing the necessary reduced neighbor report parsing for
   this, to find them
 * adding the ability to split the scan request in case the
   device by itself cannot support this.

Also add some necessary bits in mac80211 to not break with
these changes.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

cfg80211: fix management registrations deadlock

2020-06-05T07:22:00+00:00

Lockdep reports that we may deadlock because we take the RTNL on
the work struct, but flush it under RTNL. Clearly, it's correct.
In practice, this can happen when doing rfkill on an active device.

Fix this by moving the work struct to the wiphy (registered dev)
layer, and iterate over all the wdevs inside there. This then
means we need to track which one of them has work to do, so we
don't update to the driver for all wdevs all the time.

Also fix a locking bug I noticed while working on this - the
registrations list is iterated as if it was an RCU list, but it
isn't handle that way - and we need to lock now for the update
flag anyway, so remove the RCU.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net

2020-06-01T00:48:46+00:00

xdp_umem.c had overlapping changes between the 64-bit math fix
for the calculation of npgs and the removal of the zerocopy
memory type which got rid of the chunk_size_nohdr member.

The mlx5 Kconfig conflict is a case where we just take the
net-next copy of the Kconfig entry dependency as it takes on
the ESWITCH dependency by one level of indirection which is
what the 'net' conflicting change is trying to ensure.

cfg80211: require HE capabilities for 6 GHz band

2020-05-31T09:27:14+00:00

On 6 GHz band, HE capabilities must be available for all of
the interface types, otherwise we shouldn't use 6 GHz. Check
this.

cfg80211: reject HT/VHT capabilities on 6 GHz band

2020-05-31T09:27:11+00:00

On the 6 GHz band, HE should be used, but without any direct HT/VHT
capabilities, instead the HE 6 GHz band capabilities will capture
the relevant information. Reject HT/VHT capabilities here.
