In wiphy_new_nm(), if an error occurs after dev_set_name() and
device_initialize() have already been called, it's necessary to call
put_device() (via wiphy_free()) to avoid a memory leak.

<title>{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled devices</title>

<id>33d915d9e8ce811d8958915ccd18d71a66c7c495</id>
<content type='text'>
As per the current design, in the case of sw crypto controlled devices,
it is the device which advertises the support for AP/VLAN iftype based
on it's ability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software
(In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific
VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff
("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices")
has introduced this change.

Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional
way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on
crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality.

In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN
functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN
support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are
also blocked.

Fix this by allowing 4addr operation on devices which do not support
AP/VLAN iftype but can support 4addr AP operation (decision is based on
the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).

When we destroy the interface we already hold the wdev-&gt;mtx
while calling cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down(), which assumes this
isn't true and flushes the worker that takes the lock, thus
leading to a deadlock.

Fix this by refactoring the worker and calling its code in
cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() directly.

We still need to flush the work later to make sure it's not
still running and will crash, but it will not do anything.

When a wiphy changes its namespace, all interfaces are moved to the
new namespace as well. The network interfaces are properly announced
as leaving on the old and as appearing on the new namespace through
RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_DELLINK. On nl80211, however, these events are missing
for radios and their interfaces.

Add netlink announcements through nl80211 when switching namespaces,
so userspace can rely on these events to discover radios properly.

<id>9bb7e0f24e7e7d00daa1219b14539e2e602649b2</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure
certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement
FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that
it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary
things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig.

The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and
channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a
set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform.

Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final
complete message.

Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running
measurement.

v3:
 - add a bit to report "final" for partial results
 - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results
   to the requester (big code reduction ...)
 - also send complete message unicast, and as a result
   remove the multicast group
 - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer
   from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer
 - document timeout == 0 if no timeout
 - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0,
   must not include attribute for no timeout
 - make MAC address randomization optional
 - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather
   rather than the old default of 15==don't care)

v4:
 - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation

v5:
 - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes
 - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient
 - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability
 - rename "frames per burst" -&gt; "FTMs per burst"

v6:
 - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
   and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any
   pending measurements

v7:
 - wording fixes (Lior)
 - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior)

v8:
 - copyright statements
 - minor coding style fixes
 - fix error path leak
