[ Upstream commit e6f4051123fd33901e9655a675b22aefcdc5d277 ]

Commit 33d915d9e8ce ("{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on
crypto controlled devices") has introduced a change which allows
4addr operation on crypto controlled devices (ex: ath10k). This
change has inadvertently impacted the interface combinations logic
on such devices.

General rule is that software interfaces like AP/VLAN should not be
listed under supported interface combinations and should not be
considered during validation of these combinations; because of the
aforementioned change, AP/VLAN interfaces(if present) will be checked
against interfaces supported by the device and blocks valid interface
combinations.

Consider a case where an AP and AP/VLAN are up and running; when a
second AP device is brought up on the same physical device, this AP
will be checked against the AP/VLAN interface (which will not be
part of supported interface combinations of the device) and blocks
second AP to come up.

Add a new API cfg80211_iftype_allowed() to fix the problem, this
API works for all devices with/without SW crypto control.

The reported rate is not scaled down correctly. After applying this patch,
the function will behave just like the v/ht equivalents.

<title>cfg80211: Fix busy loop regression in ieee80211_ie_split_ric()</title>

commit 312ca38ddda64bac6513ec68e0ac3789b4eb44dc upstream.

This function was modified to support the information element extension
case (WLAN_EID_EXTENSION) in a manner that would result in an infinite
loop when going through set of IEs that include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA and
contain an IE that is in the after_ric array. The only place where this
can currently happen is in mac80211 ieee80211_send_assoc() where
ieee80211_ie_split_ric() is called with after_ric[].

This can be triggered by valid data from user space nl80211
association/connect request (i.e., requiring GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM). The
only known application having an option to include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA in
these requests is wpa_supplicant and it had a bug that prevented this
specific contents from being used (and because of that, not triggering
this kernel bug in an automated test case ap_ft_ric) and now that this
bug is fixed, it has a workaround to avoid this kernel issue.
WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA is currently used only for testing purposes, so this
does not cause significant harm for production use cases.

====================
Here are quite a large number of fixes, notably:
 * various A-MSDU building fixes (currently only affects mt76)
 * syzkaller &amp; spectre fixes in hwsim
 * TXQ vs. teardown fix that was causing crashes
 * embed WMM info in reg rule, bad code here had been causing crashes
 * one compilation issue with fix from Arnd (rfkill-gpio includes)
 * fixes for a race and bad data during/after channel switch
 * nl80211: a validation fix, attribute type &amp; unit fixes
along with other small fixes.

The "chandef-&gt;center_freq1" variable is a u32 but "freq" is a u16 so we
are truncating away the high bits.  I noticed this bug because in commit
9cf0a0b4b64a ("cfg80211: Add support for 60GHz band channels 5 and 6")
we made "freq &lt;= 56160 + 2160 * 6" a valid requency when before it was
only "freq &lt;= 56160 + 2160 * 4" that was valid.  It introduces a static
checker warning:

    net/wireless/util.c:1571 ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class()
    warn: always true condition '(freq &lt;= 56160 + 2160 * 6) =&gt; (0-u16max &lt;= 69120)'

But really we probably shouldn't have been truncating the high bits
away to begin with.

the kcalloc() conversion. -DaveM

Johannes Berg says:

====================
This round's updates:
 * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns
   out to be small - but everything kept changing, so
   one part I did in the driver was &gt;30 patches for
   what was ultimately &lt;200 lines of code ... similar
   here for this code.
 * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan
   flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as
   reducing the probe request element content
 * rfkill cleanups
 * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd
 * various other cleanups

<title>cfg80211: initialize sinfo in cfg80211_get_station</title>

<content type='text'>
Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize
sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled",
which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified
by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits
in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can
then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by
cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations).

cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to
zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not
filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In
batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput
may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may
switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.

With the addition of TXQ stats in the per-tid statistics the struct
station_info grew significantly. This resulted in stack size warnings
due to the structure itself being above the limit for the warnings.

Add an allocation function that those who want to provide per-tid
stats should use to allocate the tid array, i.e.
struct station_info::pertid.
