Previously mesh channel switch happens if beacon contains
CSA IE without checking the mesh peer info. Due to that
channel switch happens even if the beacon is not from
its own mesh peer. Fixing that by checking if the CSA
originated from the same mesh network before proceeding
for channel switch.

<content type='text'>
A race condition leading to a kernel crash is observed during invocation
of ieee80211_register_hw() on a dragonboard410c device having wcn36xx
driver built as a loadable module along with a wifi manager in user-space
waiting for a wifi device (wlanX) to be active.

Sequence diagram for a particular kernel crash scenario:

    user-space  ieee80211_register_hw()  ieee80211_tasklet_handler()
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       |                    |                 |
       |&lt;---phy0----wiphy_register()          |
       |-----iwd if_add----&gt;|                 |
       |                    |&lt;---IRQ----(RX packet)
       |              Kernel crash            |
       |              due to unallocated      |
       |              workqueue.              |
       |                    |                 |
       |       alloc_ordered_workqueue()      |
       |                    |                 |
       |              Misc wiphy init.        |
       |                    |                 |
       |            ieee80211_if_add()        |
       |                    |                 |

As evident from above sequence diagram, this race condition isn't specific
to a particular wifi driver but rather the initialization sequence in
ieee80211_register_hw() needs to be fixed. So re-order the initialization
sequence and the updated sequence diagram would look like:

    user-space  ieee80211_register_hw()  ieee80211_tasklet_handler()

       |                    |                 |
       |              Misc wiphy init.        |

The original patch didn't copy the ieee80211_is_data() condition
because on most drivers the management frames don't go through
this path. However, they do on iwlwifi/mvm, so we do need to keep
the condition here.

When a frame is transmitted via the nl80211 TX rather than as a

If a station is still marked as authorized, mark it as no longer
so before removing its keys. This allows frames transmitted to it
to be rejected, providing additional protection against leaking
plain text data during the disconnection flow.

mac80211 used to check port authorization in the Data frame enqueue case
when going through start_xmit(). However, that authorization status may
change while the frame is waiting in a queue. Add a similar check in the
dequeue case to avoid sending previously accepted frames after
authorization change. This provides additional protection against
potential leaking of frames after a station has been disconnected and
the keys for it are being removed.

<title>mac80211: drop data frames without key on encrypted links</title>

<id>a0761a301746ec2d92d7fcb82af69c0a6a4339aa</id>
<content type='text'>
If we know that we have an encrypted link (based on having had
a key configured for TX in the past) then drop all data frames
in the key selection handler if there's no key anymore.

This fixes an issue with mac80211 internal TXQs - there we can
buffer frames for an encrypted link, but then if the key is no
longer there when they're dequeued, the frames are sent without
encryption. This happens if a station is disconnected while the
frames are still on the TXQ.

Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

frames are still on the TXQ.

Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

Some of the drivers are not using channel context, but let the
stack to control/switch channels instead. For such cases, driver
can still remain on channel because the mac80211 stack actually
supports it.

The stack will check if the driver is using chan_ctx and has
ops-&gt;remain_on_channel been hooked. Otherwise it will start its
ROC work to remain on channel. So, even if the driver is not
using chan_ctx, the driver is still capable of doing remain on
channel.
