cfg80211: add add_nan_func / del_nan_func

2016-09-30T11:21:23+00:00

A NAN function can be either publish, subscribe or follow
up. Make all the necessary verifications and just pass the
request to the driver.
Allow the user space application that starts NAN to
forbid any other socket to add or remove functions.

cfg80211: add start / stop NAN commands

2016-09-30T11:21:14+00:00

This allows user space to start/stop NAN interface.
A NAN interface is like P2P device in a few aspects: it
doesn't have a netdev associated to it.
Add the new interface type and prevent operations that
can't be executed on NAN interface like scan.

Define several attributes that may be configured by user space
when starting NAN functionality (master preference and dual
band operation)

cfg80211: Add support for static WEP in the driver

2016-09-30T11:19:10+00:00

Add support for drivers that implement static WEP internally, i.e.
expose connection keys to the driver in connect flow and don't
upload the keys after the connection.

cfg80211: reduce connect key caching struct size

2016-09-13T18:20:54+00:00

After the previous patches, connect keys can only (correctly)
be used for storing static WEP keys. Therefore, remove all the
data for dealing with key index 4/5 and reduce the size of the
key material to the maximum for WEP keys.

cfg80211: validate key index better

2016-09-13T18:20:53+00:00

Don't accept it if a key_idx < 0 snuck through, reject WEP keys with
key index 4 and 5 (which are used for IGTKs) and don't allow IGTKs
with key indices other than 4 and 5. This makes the key data match
expectations better.

cfg80211: identically validate beacon interval for AP/MESH/IBSS

2016-08-11T18:00:36+00:00

Beacon interval interface combinations validation was missing
for MESH/IBSS join, add those.

Johannes: also move the beacon interval check disallowing really
tiny and really big intervals into the common function, which
adds it for AP mode.

cfg80211: fix proto in ieee80211_data_to_8023 for frames without LLC header

2016-06-29T09:50:33+00:00

The PDU length of incoming LLC frames is set to the total skb payload size
in __ieee80211_data_to_8023() of net/wireless/util.c which incorrectly
includes the length of the IEEE 802.11 header.

The resulting LLC frame header has a too large PDU length, causing the
llc_fixup_skb() function of net/llc/llc_input.c to reject the incoming
skb, effectively breaking STP.

Solve the problem by properly substracting the IEEE 802.11 frame header size
from the PDU length, allowing the LLC processor to pick up the incoming
control messages.

Special thanks to Gerry Rozema for tracking down the regression and proposing
a suitable patch.

mm/page_ref: use page_ref helper instead of direct modification of _count

page_reference manipulation functions are introduced to track down
reference count change of the page.  Use it instead of direct
modification of _count.

cfg80211: make wdev_list accessible to drivers

2016-05-12T09:16:40+00:00

There's no harm in having drivers read the list, since they can
use RCU protection or RTNL locking; allow this to not require
each and every driver to also implement its own bookkeeping.
