CONFIG_HOTPLUG removal from networking core

2012-12-22T08:03:00+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is always enabled now, so remove the unused code that was
trying to be compiled out when this option was disabled, in the
networking core.

cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access races

2012-11-30T12:42:20+00:00

When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently
overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some
other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the
IEs concurrently.

Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct
that holds the data and length and protecting access
to this new struct with RCU.

wireless: allow 40 MHz on world roaming channels 12/13

2012-11-12T15:26:06+00:00

When in world roaming mode, allow 40 MHz to be used
on channels 12 and 13 so that an AP that is, e.g.,
using HT40+ on channel 9 (in the UK) can be used.

====================
Here is another batch of updates intended for 3.7...

Highlights include an hci_connect re-write in Bluetooth, HCI/LLC
layer separation in NFC, removal of the raw pn544 NFC driver, NFC LLCP
raw sockets support, improved IBSS auth frame handling in mac80211,
full-MAC AP mode notification support in mac80211, a lot of attention
paid to brcmfmac, and the usual level of updates to iwlwifi, ath9k,
mwifiex, and rt2x00, and various other updates.

cfg80211: Fix regulatory check for 60GHz band frequencies

2012-09-25T07:41:14+00:00

The current regulatory code on cfg80211 performs a check to
see if a regulatory rule belongs to an IEEE band so that if
a Country IE is received and no rules are specified for a
band (which is allowed by IEEE) those bands are left intact.
The current band check assumes a rule is bound to a band
if the rule's start or end frequency is less than 2 GHz
apart from the center of frequency being inspected.

In order to support 60 GHz for 802.11ad we need to increase
this to account for the channel spacing of 2160 MHz whereby
a channel somewhere in the middle of a regulatory rule may
be more than 2 GHz apart from either the beginning or
end of the frequency rule.

Without a fix for this even though channels 1-3 are allowed world
wide on the rule (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), channel 2 at 60480 MHz
will end up getting disabled given that it is 3240 MHz from
both the frequency rule start and end frequency. Fix this by
using 2 GHz separation assumption for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands
but for 60 GHz use a 10 GHz separation before assuming a rule
is not part of the band.

Since we have no 802.11ad drivers yet merged this change has
no impact to existing Linux upstream device drivers.

cfg80211: fix possible circular lock on reg_regdb_search()

2012-09-19T00:43:23+00:00

When call_crda() is called we kick off a witch hunt search
for the same regulatory domain on our internal regulatory
database and that work gets kicked off on a workqueue, this
is done while the cfg80211_mutex is held. If that workqueue
kicks off it will first lock reg_regdb_search_mutex and
later cfg80211_mutex but to ensure two CPUs will not contend
against cfg80211_mutex the right thing to do is to have the
reg_regdb_search() wait until the cfg80211_mutex is let go.

The lockdep report is pasted below.

but task is already holding lock:
 (reg_regdb_search_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<81646828>] set_regdom+0x710/0x808 [cfg80211]

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

wireless: remove unreachable code

2012-09-18T17:54:05+00:00

The only case where intersected_rd can become non NULL is within an if. All
paths from that if return, so the end chunk has therefore squawked its
last and is no more.
