| * cfg80211: fix regresion on reg user timeoutLuis R. Rodriguez2011-04-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch "cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints" introduced a regression for the case where a secondary identical regulatory hint from a user is sent. What would happen is the second hint would schedule delayed work in to catch a timeout but since we are never processing it given that the hint was already applied we'd always hit the timeout and and restore regulatory settings back to world regulatory domain. This is fixed by simply avoiding sheduling work if the hint was already applied. Tested-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Reported-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently mac80211 uses ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz module parameter to allow disabling 40MHz operation in the 2.4GHz band. Move this handling from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that the feature will be more generic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notify userspace when a beacon/presp is received from a suitable mesh peer candidate for whom no sta information exists. Userspace can then decide to create a sta info for the candidate. If userspace is not ready to authenticate the peer right away, it can create the sta info with the authenticated flag unset and set it later.

Also, NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY now returns a flag NL80211_SUPPORT_MESH_AUTH if the wiphy's mesh implementation supports routing of mesh auth frames to userspace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have no other option but to inform userspace that we have queued up their regulatory hint request when we are given one given that nl80211 operates atomically on user requests. The best we can do is accept the request, and add a delayed work item for processing failure and cancel it if we succeeed. Upon failure we restore the regulatory settings and ignore the user input.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we restore regulatory settings its possible CRDA will not reply because of a bogus user entry. In this case the bogus entry will prevent any further processing on cfg80211 for regulatory domains even if we restore regulatory settings. To prevent this we suck out all pending requests when restoring regulatory settings and add them back into the queue after we have queued up the reset work. The impact of not having this applied is that a user with privileges can issue a userspace regulatory hint while we are disasocciating and this would prevent any further processing of regulatory domains.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds to the fix "fix BSS double-unlinking" (commit 3207390a8b58bfc1335750f91cf6783c48ca19ca) by Johannes Berg. It turns out, that the double-unlinking scenario can also occur if expired BSS elements are removed whilst an interface is performing association. To work around that, replace list_del with list_del_init also in the "cfg80211_bss_expire" function, so that the check for whether the BSS still is in the list works correctly in cfg80211_unlink_bss.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regulatory devices issue change uevents to inform userspace of a need to call the crda tool; however these can often be sent before udevd is running, and were not previously included in the results of udevadm trigger (which requests a new change event using the /uevent attribute of the sysfs object). Add a uevent function to the device type which includes the COUNTRY information from the last request if it has yet to be processed, the case of multiple requests is already handled in the code by checking whether an unprocessed one is queued in the same manner and refusing to queue a new one. The existing udev rule continues to work as before.

The mac80211 on the other hand reinitializes its sdata structure every time the interface type is changed, losing the PSM configuration. Hence, if the interface type is changed to, say, ad-hoc and then back to managed, "iw wlan0 get power_save" will claim that PSM is enabled, when in fact on mac80211 level it is not. Fix this in cfg80211 by configuring the PSM state to the driver each time the interface is brought up instead of just when the interface is created.

| * | cfg80211: Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11jBruno Randolf2011-01-213-18/+29
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility) we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14. This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in 802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted. The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes: iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx. The drivers have been compile-tested only.

* / kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes2011-01-211-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

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.

* nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/DisassocJouni Malinen2010-12-163-0/+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>

* cfg80211: update information elements in cached BSS structSven Neumann2010-12-131-0/+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.
