2010-12-16cfg80211: fix null pointer dereference with a custom regulatory requestLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+2
Once we moved the core regulatory request to the queue and let the scheduler process it last_request will have been left NULL until the schedular decides to process the first request. When this happens and we are loading a driver with a custom regulatory request like all Atheros drivers we end up with a NULL pointer dereference. We fix this by checking if the request was a custom one.

2010-12-16nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/DisassocJouni Malinen3-0/+44
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to management frame protection being in use. This notification is needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch between an AP and STA. This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP (IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7). IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-12-13cfg80211: update information elements in cached BSS structSven Neumann1-0/+11
When a cached BSS struct is updated because a new beacon was received, the code replaces the cached information elements by the IEs from the new beacon. However it did not update the pub.information_elements and pub.len_information_elements fields leaving them either pointing to the old beacon IEs or in an inconsistent state where the data is replaced by the new beacon IEs but len_information_elements still has its value from the first beacon. Fix this by updating the information elements fields if they are pointing to beacon IEs.

2010-12-13cfg80211: Add antenna availability informationBruno Randolf1-2/+13
Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the anntenna configuration ops be executed. Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to support this, in case the need arises. The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and rejected if it does not match.

2010-12-06cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg6-24/+284
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

2010-11-22cfg80211: Fix regulatory bug with multiple cards and delaysLuis R. Rodriguez1-9/+43
When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a request as the last request it was already the currently set regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory domain since the alpha2 would match. We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically, and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed. In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam. This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known regression. Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request. This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2) and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter options. This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this CRDA delayer: #!/bin/bash echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log sleep 2 /sbin/crda.orig And these regulatory tests: modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2 modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3 Reported-by: Mark Mentovai <mark@moxienet.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2010-11-16cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configurationBruno Randolf1-1/+30
Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211. The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use. This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups. Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use this antenna. Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on that. 802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming, Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on the antenna information. Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and to enable or disable antenna diversity. While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare, but useful configurations as follows: 1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals ("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel. (This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2). 2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX antenna, while staying within the legal limits. (This would be: tx 0 rx 3). 3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> -- v7: Made bitmasks 32 bit wide and rebased to latest wireless-testing. Signed-off-by: John W.

When operating in a mode that initiates communication and using HT40 we should fail if we cannot use both primary and secondary channels to initiate communication. Our current ht40 allowmap only covers STA mode of operation, for beaconing modes we need a check on the fly as the mode of operation is dynamic and there other flags other than disable which we should read to check if we can initiate communication. Do not allow for initiating communication if our secondary HT40 channel has is either disabled, has a passive scan flag, a no-ibss flag or is a radar channel.

2010-11-15cfg80211: fix disabling channels based on hintsLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+19
After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies. So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had no information about the band we are currently processing. This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling 5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices further as was intended. If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one channel on the respective band we are procesing. This was the original intention behind this design but it was completely overlooked...

We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY even if we haven't yet recieved regulatory domain hint for the driver if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170.

2010-10-25cfg80211: fix regression on processing country IEsLuis R. Rodriguez1-1/+1
The patch 4f366c5: wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included checking that we already had performed an intersection for the request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type. This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country IE country hint with the data received from CRDA.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...
