commit be23b2d7c3b7c8bf57b1cf0bf890bd65df9d0186 upstream.

Wireless extensions are already disabled if MLO is enabled,
given that we cannot support MLO there with all the hard-
coded assumptions about BSSID etc.

However, the WiFi7 ecosystem is still stabilizing, and some
devices may need MLO disabled while that happens. In that
case, we might end up with a device that supports wext (but
not MLO) in one kernel, and then breaks wext in the future
(by enabling MLO), which is not desirable.

Add a flag to let such drivers/devices disable wext even if
MLO isn't yet enabled.

<title>wifi: nl80211: reject iftype change with mesh ID change</title>

commit f78c1375339a291cba492a70eaf12ec501d28a8e upstream.

It's currently possible to change the mesh ID when the
interface isn't yet in mesh mode, at the same time as
changing it into mesh mode. This leads to an overwrite
of data in the wdev-&gt;u union for the interface type it
currently has, causing cfg80211_change_iface() to do
wrong things when switching.

We could probably allow setting an interface to mesh
while setting the mesh ID at the same time by doing a
different order of operations here, but realistically
there's no userspace that's going to do this, so just
disallow changes in iftype when setting mesh ID.

[ Upstream commit a6e4f85d3820d00694ed10f581f4c650445dbcda ]

The nl80211_dump_interface() supports resumption
in case nl80211_send_iface() doesn't have the
resources to complete its work.

The logic would store the progress as iteration
offsets for rdev and wdev loops.

However the logic did not properly handle
resumption for non-last rdev. Assuming a system
with 2 rdevs, with 2 wdevs each, this could
happen:

 dump(cb=[0, 0]):
  if_start=cb[1] (=0)
  send rdev0.wdev0 -&gt; ok
  send rdev0.wdev1 -&gt; yield
  cb[1] = 1

 dump(cb=[0, 1]):
  if_start=cb[1] (=1)
  send rdev0.wdev1 -&gt; ok
  // since if_start=1 the rdev0.wdev0 got skipped
  // through if_idx &lt; if_start
  send rdev1.wdev1 -&gt; ok

The if_start needs to be reset back to 0 upon wdev
loop end.

The problem is actually hard to hit on a desktop,
and even on most routers. The prerequisites for
this manifesting was:
 - more than 1 wiphy
 - a few handful of interfaces
 - dump without rdev or wdev filter

I was seeing this with 4 wiphys 9 interfaces each.
It'd miss 6 interfaces from the last wiphy
reported to userspace.

commit b743287d7a0007493f5cada34ed2085d475050b4 upstream.

When a wiphy work is queued with timer, and then again
without a delay, it's started immediately but *also*
started again after the timer expires. This can lead,
for example, to warnings in mac80211's offchannel code
as reported by Jouni. Running the same work twice isn't
expected, of course. Fix this by deleting the timer at
this point, when queuing immediately due to delay=0.

This is a more of a cosmetic fix. The branch will only be taken if
proberesp_ies is set, which implies that beacon_ies is not set unless we
are connected to an AP that just did a channel switch. And, in that case
we should have found the BSS in the internal storage to begin with.

[ Upstream commit 8e2f6f2366219b3304b227bdd2f04b64c92e3e12 ]

We want to guarantee the mutex is held for pretty much
all operations, so ensure that here as well.

Commit 008afb9f3d57 ("wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use"
backported to 6.6.x) causes nl80211_set_cqm_rssi not to release the
wdev lock in some of the error paths.

Of course, the ensuing deadlock causes userland network managers to
break pretty badly, and on typical systems this also causes lockups on
on suspend, poweroff and reboot. See [1], [2], [3] for example reports.

The upstream commit 7e7efdda6adb ("wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range
use"), committed in November 2023, is completely fine because there was
another commit in August 2023 that removed the wdev lock:
see commit 076fc8775daf ("wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex").

The reason things broke in 6.6.5 is that commit 4338058f6009 was applied
without also applying 076fc8775daf.

Commit 076fc8775daf ("wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex") is a rather
large commit; adjusting the error handling (which is what this commit does)
yields a much simpler patch and was tested to work properly.

Fix the deadlock by releasing the lock before returning.
