====================
A new set of changes:
 * lots of small documentation fixes, from Jérôme Pouiller
 * beacon protection (BIGTK) support from Jouni Malinen
 * some initial code for TID configuration, from Tamizh chelvam
 * I reverted some new API before it's actually used, because
   it's wrong to mix controlled port and preauth
 * a few other cleanups/fixes

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.

net: use netif_is_bridge_port() to check for IFF_BRIDGE_PORT

2020-02-20T18:10:32+00:00

Trivial cleanup, so that all bridge port-specific code can be found in
one go.

cfg80211: fix page refcount issue in A-MSDU decap

2020-01-15T08:53:35+00:00

The fragments attached to a skb can be part of a compound page. In that case,
page_ref_inc will increment the refcount for the wrong page. Fix this by
using get_page instead, which calls page_ref_inc on the compound head and
also checks for overflow.

nl80211: Disallow setting of HT for channel 14

2019-10-30T09:07:22+00:00

This patch disables setting of HT20 and more for channel 14 because
the channel is only for IEEE 802.11b.

The patch for net/wireless/util.c was unit-tested.

The patch for net/wireless/chan.c was tested with iw command.

Before this patch.
$ sudo iw dev  set channel 14 HT20
$

After this patch.
$ sudo iw dev  set channel 14 HT20
kernel reports: invalid channel definition
command failed: Invalid argument (-22)
$

====================
We have a number of changes, but things are settling down:
 * a fix in the new 6 GHz channel support
 * a fix for recent minstrel (rate control) updates
   for an infinite loop
 * handle interface type changes better wrt. management frame
   registrations (for management frames sent to userspace)
 * add in-BSS RX time to survey information
 * handle HW rfkill properly if !CONFIG_RFKILL
 * send deauth on IBSS station expiry, to avoid state mismatches
 * handle deferred crypto tailroom updates in mac80211 better
   when device restart happens
 * fix a spectre-v1 - really a continuation of a previous patch
 * advertise NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES as supported if so
 * add some missing parsing in VHT extended NSS support
 * support HE in mac80211_hwsim
 * let mac80211 drivers determine the max MTU themselves
along with the usual cleanups etc.

cfg80211: Purge frame registrations on iftype change

2019-09-11T08:45:10+00:00

Currently frame registrations are not purged, even when changing the
interface type.  This can lead to potentially weird situations where
frames possibly not allowed on a given interface type remain registered
due to the type switching happening after registration.

The kernel currently relies on userspace apps to actually purge the
registrations themselves, this is not something that the kernel should
rely on.

Add a call to cfg80211_mlme_purge_registrations() to forcefully remove
any registrations left over prior to switching the iftype.

cfg80211: fix boundary value in ieee80211_frequency_to_channel()

2019-09-11T07:12:55+00:00

The boundary value used for the 6G band was incorrect as it would
result in invalid 6G channel number for certain frequencies.

nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels

2019-08-21T09:07:35+00:00

802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
(EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.

Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and
configuring EDMG support.

Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG
capabilities to the userspace:
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth
configurations supported by the driver.

Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect
command and for AP configuration:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG

New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver
and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG
according to the 802.11ay specification.
