* wext: add back wireless/ dir in sysfs for cfg80211 interfacesJohannes Berg2009-09-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers, in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is too late. Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have the same values reported as in procfs.

* wext: Add bound checks for copy_from_userArjan van de Ven2009-09-281-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The wireless extensions have a copy_from_user to a local stack array "essid", but both me and gcc have failed to find where the bounds for this copy are located in the code. This patch adds some basic sanity checks for the copy length to make sure that we don't overflow the stack buffer.

* cfg80211: always get BSSJohannes Berg2009-09-281-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multiple problems were reported due to interaction between wpa_supplicant and the wext compat code in cfg80211, which appear to be due to it not getting any bss pointer here when wpa_supplicant sets all parameters -- do that now. We should still get the bss after doing an extra scan, but that appears to increase the time we need for connecting enough to sometimes cause timeouts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | When wpa_supplicant is used to connect to open networks, it causes the wdev->wext.keys to point to key memory, but that key memory is all empty.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_ie() function uses a size_t for the len parameter, and directly uses len as a loop variable. If any received packets are malformed, it is possible for the decrease of len to overflow, and since the result is unsigned, the loop will not terminate. Change it to a signed int so the loop conditional works for negative values. This fixes the following soft lockup: [38573.102007] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

* cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurableJohannes Berg2009-08-284-4/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify the scan has been done. This bug was introduced by my patch "cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests". To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it by removing the module/device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame format to use 3-address.

The address fields used for group addressed frames is: In 802.11 header ToDS:0 FromDS:1 addr1: DA (broadcast/multicast address) addr2: TA addr3: Mesh SA In address extension header: addr4: SA (only present if frame was proxied) Note that this change breaks backward compatibility with earlier mesh stack versions.

* nl80211: add generation number to all dumpsJohannes Berg2009-08-144-10/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number in each dump message that indicates whether the list has changed or not -- its value is arbitrary. This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or stations. The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be stored there as well.

* cfg80211: use reassociation when possibleJohannes Berg2009-08-144-14/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the move of everything related to the SME from mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips. This patch addresses only the immediate regression we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfacesJohannes Berg2009-08-149-131/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory enforcement and connection stability, in that it is possible to switch the channel while connected to a network or joined to an IBSS. The problem comes from the fact that we only validate the channel against the current interface's type, not against any other interface. Thus, you have any type of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This will obviously also switch the channel on the other interface. The problem now is that if you do that while sending beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing. Combined with a managed mode interface connected to an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily break the connection that way. To fix this, this patch validates any channel change with all available interfaces, and disallows such changes on secondary interfaces if another interface is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
