nl80211: add ability to report TX status for control port TX

2020-05-27T08:02:04+00:00

This adds the necessary capabilities in nl80211 to allow drivers to
assign a cookie to control port TX frames (returned via extack in
the netlink ACK message of the command) and then later report the
frame's status.

cfg80211: add KHz variants of frame RX API

2020-05-27T08:02:02+00:00

Drivers may wish to report the RX frequency in units of
KHz. Provide cfg80211_rx_mgmt_khz() and wrap it with
cfg80211_rx_mgmt() so exisiting drivers which can't report
KHz anyway don't need to change. Add a similar wrapper for
cfg80211_report_obss_beacon() so the frequency units stay
somewhat consistent.

This doesn't actually change the nl80211 API yet.

cfg80211: express channels with a KHz component

2020-04-24T10:33:43+00:00

Some bands (S1G) define channels centered on a non-integer
MHz. Give ieee80211_channel and cfg80211_chan_def a
freq_offset component where the final frequency can be
expressed as:

MHZ_TO_KHZ(chan->center_freq) + chan->freq_offset;

Also provide some helper functions to do the frequency
conversion and test for equality.

Retain the existing interface to frequency and channel
conversion helpers, and expose new ones which handle
frequencies in units of KHz.

Some internal functions (net/wireless/chan.c) pass around
a frequency value. Convert these to units of KHz.

mesh, ibss, wext, etc. are currently ignored.

cfg80211: change internal management frame registration API

2020-04-24T10:33:40+00:00

Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for
cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for
the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter.
This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain
the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers.

Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual
registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about
the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever
it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211
as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and
can free things immediately.

nl80211: modify TID-config API

2020-02-24T11:01:10+00:00

Make some changes to the TID-config API:
 * use u16 in nl80211 (only, and restrict to using 8 bits for now),
   to avoid issues in the future if we ever want to use higher TIDs.
 * reject empty TIDs mask (via netlink policy)
 * change feature advertising to not use extended feature flags but
   have own mechanism for this, which simplifies the code
 * fix all variable names from 'tid' to 'tids' since it's a mask
 * change to cfg80211_ name prefixes, not ieee80211_
 * fix some minor docs/spelling things.

nl80211: Add NL command to support TID speicific configurations

2020-02-24T10:15:25+00:00

Add the new NL80211_CMD_SET_TID_CONFIG command to support
data TID specific configuration. Per TID configuration is
passed in the nested NL80211_ATTR_TID_CONFIG attribute.

This patch adds support to configure per TID noack policy
through the NL80211_TID_CONFIG_ATTR_NOACK attribute.

cfg80211: Support key configuration for Beacon protection (BIGTK)

2020-02-24T09:35:48+00:00

IEEE P802.11-REVmd/D3.0 adds support for protecting Beacon frames using
a new set of keys (BIGTK; key index 6..7) similarly to the way
group-addressed Robust Management frames are protected (IGTK; key index
4..5). Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow the new BIGTK to be
configured. Add an extended feature flag to indicate driver support for
the new key index values to avoid array overflows in driver
implementations and also to indicate to user space when this
functionality is available.

Revert "nl80211: add src and dst addr attributes for control port tx/rx"

2020-02-24T09:22:02+00:00

This reverts commit 8c3ed7aa2b9ef666195b789e9b02e28383243fa8.

As Jouni points out, there's really no need for this, since the
RSN pre-authentication frames are normal data frames, not port
control frames (locally).

We can still revert this now since it hasn't actually gone beyond
-next.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
A few big new things:
 * 802.11 frame encapsulation offload support
 * more HE (802.11ax) support, including some for 6 GHz band
 * powersave in hwsim, for better testing

Of course as usual there are various cleanups and small fixes.

nl80211: add src and dst addr attributes for control port tx/rx

2020-02-07T11:58:37+00:00

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port  have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.

This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.

Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so
by checking against:
  NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211_MAC_ADDRS
