cfg80211: make cfg80211_sched_scan_results() work from atomic context

2017-05-23T12:36:46+00:00

Drivers should be able to call cfg80211_sched_scan_results() from atomic
context. However, with the introduction of multiple scheduled scan feature
this requirement was not taken into account resulting in regression shown
below.

mac80211: strictly check mesh address extension mode

2017-05-17T12:24:29+00:00

Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch
appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition
that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that
frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries
are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before
processing the packet.

Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension
mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify
0x3 as valid address field.

nl80211: correctly validate MU-MIMO groups

2017-05-08T09:24:34+00:00

Since groups 0 and 63 are invalid, we should check for those bits.
Note that the 802.11 spec specifies the *bit* order, but the CPU
doesn't care about bit order since it can't address bits, so it's
always treating BIT(0) as the lowest bit within a byte.

Have proper request id filled in the SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS and
SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED notifications toward user-space by having the
driver provide it through the api.

cfg80211: unify cfg80211_roamed() and cfg80211_roamed_bss()

2017-04-28T10:28:44+00:00

cfg80211_roamed() and cfg80211_roamed_bss() take the same arguments
except that cfg80211_roamed() requires the BSSID and
cfg80211_roamed_bss() requires the bss entry.

Unify the two functions by using a struct for driver initiated
roaming information so that either the BSSID or the bss entry can be
passed as an argument to the unified function.

cfg80211: add request id parameter to .sched_scan_stop() signature

2017-04-26T21:17:40+00:00

For multiple scheduled scan support the driver needs to know which
scheduled scan request is being stopped. Pass the request id in the
.sched_scan_stop() callback.

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.

cfg80211: simplify netlink socket owner interface deletion

2017-04-26T21:17:35+00:00

There's no need to allocate a portid structure and then, for
each of those, walk the interfaces - we can just add a flag
to each interface and walk those directly. Due to padding in
the struct, we can even do it without any memory cost, and
it even simplifies the code.

cfg80211: Fix dfs state propagation for non-DFS center channel

2017-04-25T19:42:52+00:00

When part of a bigger bandwidth (160 MHz) channel falls in DFS
channel range it is possible that the  center frequency may not
necessarily be a radar channel. Remove the sanity check on channel
flag for IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR in regulatory_propagate_dfs_state(),
this should fix the dfs state propagation for non-DFS center freq
which has DFS channels in it's bandwidth, should also fix unnecessary
WARN_ON() spam in regulatory_propagate_dfs_state().
