mac80211: reject ToDS broadcast data frames

2017-04-20T19:37:46+00:00

AP/AP_VLAN modes don't accept any real 802.11 multicast data
frames, but since they do need to accept broadcast management
frames the same is currently permitted for data frames. This
opens a security problem because such frames would be decrypted
with the GTK, and could even contain unicast L3 frames.

Since the spec says that ToDS frames must always have the BSSID
as the RA (addr1), reject any other data frames.

The problem was originally reported in "Predicting, Decrypting,
and Abusing WPA2/802.11 Group Keys" at usenix
https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity16/technical-sessions/presentation/vanhoef
and brought to my attention by Jouni.

mac80211: fix MU-MIMO follow-MAC mode

2017-04-13T12:35:53+00:00

There are two bugs in the follow-MAC code:
 * it treats the radiotap header as the 802.11 header
   (therefore it can't possibly work)
 * it doesn't verify that the skb data it accesses is actually
   present in the header, which is mitigated by the first point

Fix this by moving all of this out into a separate function.
This function copies the data it needs using skb_copy_bits()
to make sure it can be accessed if it's paged, and offsets
that by the possibly present vendor radiotap header.

This also makes all those conditions more readable.

mac80211: unconditionally start new netdev queues with iTXQ support

2017-03-29T12:20:40+00:00

When internal mac80211 TXQs aren't supported, netdev queues must
always started out started even when driver queues are stopped
while the interface is added. This is necessary because with the
internal TXQ support netdev queues are never stopped and packet
scheduling/dropping is done in mac80211.

sched/headers: Prepare to use instead of in

2017-03-02T07:42:38+00:00

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

average: change to declare precision, not factor

2017-03-02T07:32:46+00:00

Declaring the factor is counter-intuitive, and people are prone
to using small(-ish) values even when that makes no sense.

Change the DECLARE_EWMA() macro to take the fractional precision,
in bits, rather than a factor, and update all users.

While at it, add some more documentation.

Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
  IDR & IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
  including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
  efficient, an IDR & IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
  (and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
  improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.

  The IDR & IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
  for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
  pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
  did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
  it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
  same way twice"

Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
 "The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.

  Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
  and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
  the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
  users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
  lines waiting for 4.12)

  It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
  will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"

mac80211: use driver-indicated transmitter STA only for data frames

2017-02-28T06:42:05+00:00

When I originally introduced using the driver-indicated station as an
optimisation to avoid the hashtable lookup/iteration, of course it
wasn't intended to really functionally change anything.

I neglected, however, to take into account VLAN interfaces, which have
the property that management and data frames are handled differently:
data frames go directly to the station and the VLAN while management
frames continue to be processed over the underlying/associated AP-type
interface. As a consequence, when a driver used this optimisation for
management frames and the user enabled VLANs, my change broke things
since any management frames, particularly disassoc/deauth, were missed
by hostapd.

Fix this by restoring the original code path for non-data frames, they
aren't critical for performance to begin with.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194713.

Big thanks goes to Jarek who bisected the issue and provided a very
detailed bug report, including the crucial information that he was
using VLANs in his configuration.
