Small merge conflict in net/mac80211/scan.c, I preserved
the kcalloc() conversion. -DaveM

Johannes Berg says:

====================
This round's updates:
 * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns
   out to be small - but everything kept changing, so
   one part I did in the driver was >30 patches for
   what was ultimately <200 lines of code ... similar
   here for this code.
 * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan
   flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as
   reducing the probe request element content
 * rfkill cleanups
 * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd
 * various other cleanups
====================

cfg80211: fix rcu in cfg80211_unregister_wdev

2018-06-15T11:05:14+00:00

Callers of cfg80211_unregister_wdev can free the wdev object
immediately after this function returns. This may crash the kernel
because this wdev object is still in use by other threads.
Add synchronize_rcu() after list_del_rcu to make sure wdev object can
be safely freed.

cfg80211: limit wiphy names to 128 bytes

2018-04-19T13:46:34+00:00

There's currently no limit on wiphy names, other than netlink
message size and memory limitations, but that causes issues when,
for example, the wiphy name is used in a uevent, e.g. in rfkill
where we use the same name for the rfkill instance, and then the
buffer there is "only" 2k for the environment variables.

This was reported by syzkaller, which used a 4k name.

Limit the name to something reasonable, I randomly picked 128.

cfg80211: check dev_set_name() return value

2018-01-15T10:35:06+00:00

syzbot reported a warning from rfkill_alloc(), and after a while
I think that the reason is that it was doing fault injection and
the dev_set_name() failed, leaving the name NULL, and we didn't
check the return value and got to rfkill_alloc() with a NULL name.
Since we really don't want a NULL name, we ought to check the
return value.

cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file

2017-10-11T11:04:15+00:00

As the current regulatory database is only about 4k big, and already
difficult to extend, we decided that overall it would be better to
get rid of the complications with CRDA and load the database into the
kernel directly, but in a new format that is extensible.

The new file format can be extended since it carries a length field
on all the structs that need to be extensible.

In order to be able to request firmware when the module initializes,
move cfg80211 from subsys_initcall() to the later fs_initcall(); the
firmware loader is at the same level but linked earlier, so it can
be called from there. Otherwise, when both the firmware loader and
cfg80211 are built-in, the request will crash the kernel. We also
need to be before device_initcall() so that cfg80211 is available
for devices when they initialize.

cfg80211: support 4-way handshake offloading for 802.1X

2017-06-13T08:44:09+00:00

Add API for setting the PMK to the driver. For FT support, allow
setting also the PMK-R0 Name.

This can be used by drivers that support 4-Way handshake offload
while IEEE802.1X authentication is managed by upper layers.

nl80211: allow multiple active scheduled scan requests

2017-04-26T21:17:38+00:00

This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests
running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming
request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to
use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is
treated as a legacy scan.

Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support
a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.
