| * nl80211: check netlink protocol in socket release notificationDmitry Ivanov2016-04-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A non-privileged user can create a netlink socket with the same port_id as used by an existing open nl80211 netlink socket (e.g. as used by a hostapd process) with a different protocol number. Closing this socket will then lead to the notification going to nl80211's socket release notification handler, and possibly cause an action such as removing a virtual interface. Fix this issue by checking that the netlink protocol is NETLINK_GENERIC. Since generic netlink has no notifier chain of its own, we can't fix the problem more generically.

* | cfg80211: allow userspace to specify client P2P PS supportAyala Beker2016-04-051-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Legacy clients don't support P2P power save mechanisms, and thus if a P2P GO has a legacy client connected to it, it has to make some changes in the PS behavior. To handle this, add an attribute to specify whether a station supports P2P PS or not. If the attribute was not specified cfg80211 will assume that station supports it for P2P GO interface, and does NOT support it for AP interface, matching the current assumptions in the code.

* | cfg80211: Allow a scan request for a specific BSSIDJouni Malinen2016-04-051-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows scans for a specific BSSID to be optimized by the user space application by requesting the driver to set the Probe Request frame BSSID field (Address 3) to the specified BSSID instead of the wildcard BSSID. This prevents other APs from replying which reduces airtime need and latency in getting the response from the target AP through. This is an optimization and as such, it is acceptable for some of the drivers not to support the mechanism. If not supported, the wildcard BSSID will be used and more responses may be received.

* | cfg80211: Add global RRM capabilityBeni Lev2016-02-241-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, the supplicant will add the RRM capabilities Information Element in the association request only if Quiet period is supported (NL80211_FEATURE_QUIET). Quiet is one of many RRM features, and there are other RRM features that are not related to Quiet (e.g. neighbor report). Therefore, requiring Quiet to enable RRM is too restrictive. Some of the features, like neighbor report, can be supported by user space without any help from the kernel. Hence adding the RRM capabilities IE to association request should be the sole user space's decision. Removing the RRM dependency on Quiet in the driver solves this problem, but using an old driver with a user space tool that would not require Quiet feature would be problematic: the user space would add NL80211_ATTR_USE_RRM in the association request even if the kernel doesn't advertize NL80211_FEATURE_QUIET and the association would be denied by the kernel. This solution adds a global RRM capability, that tells user space that it can request RRM capabilities IE publishment without any specific feature support in the kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new station is added to AP/GO interfaces the default behaviour is for it to be added authenticated and associated, due to backwards compatibility. To prevent that, the driver must be able to do that (setting the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE feature flag) and userspace must set the flag mask to auth|assoc and clear the set. Handle this quirk in the API entirely in nl80211, and always push the full flags to the drivers. NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE is still required for userspace to be allowed to set the mask including those bits, but after checking that add both flags to the mask and set in case userspace didn't set them otherwise. This obsoletes the mac80211 code handling this difference, no other driver is currently using these flags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan. Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus defines only the interval between scans. The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately. When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however. The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results, and there is no difference between flushing all results received until the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one, since no results will be received in between.

Add the ability for the driver to report a real CLOCK_BOOTTIME stamp that can then be reported to userspace (if present). Drivers wishing to use this must be converted to the new API to call cfg80211_inform_bss_data() or cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data(). They need to ensure the reported value is accurate enough even when the frame might have been buffered in the device (e.g. firmware.)

| * cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory settingIlan peer2015-03-061-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic as: - It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to invalidate the setting. - A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g., it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still stays indoor. To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that: 1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command to state that it is going to control the indoor setting. 2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in case it is not owned by a user space process. Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can indicate environment changes to the regulatory core. It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment -- while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs typically can contain bogus data.

| * nl80211: prohibit mixing 'any' and regular wowlan triggersJohannes Berg2015-03-041-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the device supports waking up on 'any' signal - i.e. it continues operating as usual and wakes up the host on pretty much anything that happens, then it makes no sense to also configure the more restricted WoWLAN mode where the device operates more autonomously but also in a more restricted fashion. Currently only cw2100 supports both 'any' and other triggers, but it seems to be broken as it doesn't configure anything to the device, so we can't currently get into a situation where both even can correctly be configured. This is about to change (Intel devices are going to support both and have different behaviour depending on configuration) so make sure the conflicting modes cannot be configured. (It seems that cw2100 advertises 'any' and 'disconnect' as a means of saying that's what it will always do, but that isn't really the way this API was meant to be used nor does it actually mean anything as 'any' always implies 'disconnect' already, and the driver doesn't change device configuration in any way depending on the settings.)

| * cfg80211: Allow NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX to be added to vendor eventsAhmad Kholaif2015-03-031-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This modifies cfg80211_vendor_event_alloc() with an additional argument struct wireless_dev *wdev. __cfg80211_alloc_event_skb() is modified to take in *wdev argument, if wdev != NULL, both the NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX and wdev identifier are added to the vendor event. These changes make it easier for drivers to add ifindex indication in vendor events cleanly. This also updates all existing users of cfg80211_vendor_event_alloc() and __cfg80211_alloc_event_skb() in the kernel tree.

| * nl/mac80211: allow zero plink timeout to disable STA expirationMasashi Honma2015-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both wpa_supplicant and mac80211 have and inactivity timer. By default wpa_supplicant will be timed out in 5 minutes and mac80211's it is 30 minutes. If wpa_supplicant uses a longer timer than mac80211, it will get unexpected disconnection by mac80211. Using 0xffffffff instead as the configured value could solve this w/o changing the code, but due to integer overflow in the expression used this doesn't work. The expression is: (current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250) On 32bit system, the right side would overflow and be a very small value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large, causing unexpectedly early disconnections. Instead allow disabling the inactivity timer to avoid this situation, by passing the (previously invalid and useless) value 0.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IP addresses are often stored in netlink attributes. Add generic functions to do that. For nla_put_in_addr, it would be nicer to pass struct in_addr but this is not used universally throughout the kernel, in way too many places __be32 is used to store IPv4 address.

The conflict hunks generated by GIT were very unhelpful, to say the least. It split functions in half and moved them around, when the real actual conflict only existed solely inside of one function, that being be_map_pci_bars(). So instead, to resolve this, I checked out be_main.c from the top of net-next, then I applied the be_main.c changes from 'net' since the last time I merged. And this worked beautifully. The inet_diag.c and sysctl_net_core.c conflicts were simple overlapping changes, and were easily to resolve. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | nl80211: ignore HT/VHT capabilities without QoS/WMMJohannes Berg2015-03-161-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As HT/VHT depend heavily on QoS/WMM, it's not a good idea to let userspace add clients that have HT/VHT but not QoS/WMM. Since it does so in certain cases we've observed (client is using HT IEs but not QoS/WMM) just ignore the HT/VHT info at this point and don't pass it down to the drivers which might unconditionally use it.
