dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext

2017-06-14T11:52:44+00:00

Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq,
but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that
then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they
pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the
struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes).

To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls
and copy only the smaller structure in this case.

This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced
into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195869

wireless: wext: use struct iwreq earlier in the call chain

2017-06-14T11:37:42+00:00

To make it clear that we never use struct ifreq, cast from it
directly in the wext entrypoint and use struct iwreq from there
on. The next patch will remove the cast again and pass the
correct struct from the beginning.

wireless: wext: remove ndo_do_ioctl fallback

2017-06-14T07:17:48+00:00

There are no longer any drivers (in the tree proper, I didn't
check all the staging drivers) that take WEXT ioctls through
this API, the only remaining ones that even have ndo_do_ioctl
are using it only for private ioctls.

Therefore, we can remove this call.

cfg80211: make cfg80211_sched_scan_results() work from atomic context

2017-05-23T12:36:46+00:00

Drivers should be able to call cfg80211_sched_scan_results() from atomic
context. However, with the introduction of multiple scheduled scan feature
this requirement was not taken into account resulting in regression shown
below.

mac80211: strictly check mesh address extension mode

2017-05-17T12:24:29+00:00

Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch
appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition
that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that
frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries
are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before
processing the packet.

Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension
mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify
0x3 as valid address field.

nl80211: correctly validate MU-MIMO groups

2017-05-08T09:24:34+00:00

Since groups 0 and 63 are invalid, we should check for those bits.
Note that the 802.11 spec specifies the *bit* order, but the CPU
doesn't care about bit order since it can't address bits, so it's
always treating BIT(0) as the lowest bit within a byte.

cfg80211: unify cfg80211_roamed() and cfg80211_roamed_bss()

2017-04-28T10:28:44+00:00

cfg80211_roamed() and cfg80211_roamed_bss() take the same arguments
except that cfg80211_roamed() requires the BSSID and
cfg80211_roamed_bss() requires the bss entry.

Unify the two functions by using a struct for driver initiated
roaming information so that either the BSSID or the bss entry can be
passed as an argument to the unified function.

2017-04-26T21:17:40+00:00

For multiple scheduled scan support the driver needs to know which
scheduled scan request is being stopped. Pass the request id in the
.sched_scan_stop() callback.
