Johannes Berg 90be561b11 mac80211: fix return from ieee80211_assoc_success
sparse pointed out that I made a mistake converting
the return value of ieee80211_assoc_success to bool,
this place should return false instead of one of the
enum values (which would be true).

Felix Fietkau 3f0e0b220f mac80211: do not transmit frames on unconfigured 4-addr vlan interfaces
If frames are transmitted on 4-addr ap vlan interfaces with no station,
they end up being transmitted unencrypted, even if the ap interface
uses WPA. This patch add some sanity checking to make sure that this
does not happen.

Felix Fietkau 0e5ded5a87 mac80211: allow station updates on ap interfaces for vlan stations
Since the per-vif station changes, sta_info_get on the ap sdata no
longer returns entries for stations on ap vlans. This causes issues
with hostapd, which currently always passes the ap interface name to
nl80211 calls. This patch provides bug compatibility with the earlier
versions until hostapd is fixed.

Felix Fietkau d524215f6c mac80211: use nullfunc frames for 4-addr sta detection
To detect incoming 4-addr stations, hostapd needs to receive a 4-addr
data frame from the remote station, so that it can create the AP VLAN
for it. With this patch, the mlme code emits a 4-addr nullfunc frame
immediately after assoc. On the AP side it also drops 4-addr nullfunc
frames to the cooked monitor mode interface, if the interface hasn't
been fully set up to receive 4-addr data frames yet.

Luis R. Rodriguez cc5d8a3772 cfg80211: Fix country IE parsing for single channel triplets
This enhances the way we parse country IEs to minimize
the number of regulatory rules that we create. It also fixes
our current implementation which treated country IE triplets
with only one channel as one independed regulatory rule even
though adjecent rules were also being provided.

Without this patch APs which send country IE information with
a channel triplet for each individual channel will force cfg80211
to deny HT40 operation as a regulatory rule would have been created
independently for each channel and as such configured only for
20 MHz operation.

Although 802.11n APs which send country IEs triplets in this fassion
are likely rare Benoit reports this against the Ubiquity NanoStation M5,
with Country "FR" and HT40 enabled.

Since we now have a helper which parses the triplets in intermediate
steps we now take care extra care to process padding.

Johannes Berg 81ac3462d3 mac80211: fix a few work bugs
Kalle and Lennert reported problems with the new work
code, and at least Kalle's problem I was able to trace
to a missing jiffies initialisation.

I also ran into a problem where occasionally I couldn't
connect, which seems fixed with kicking the work items
after scanning.

Finally, also add some sanity checking code to verify
that we're not adding work items while an interface is
down -- that case could lead to something similar to
what Lennert was seeing.

There still seems to be a race condition that we're
trying to figure out separately.

Jouni Malinen 34a6eddbab cfg80211: Store IEs from both Beacon and Probe Response frames
Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in
separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through
nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from
Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the
BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have
overridden the IEs from Beacon frames.

This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include
the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However,
there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could
be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would
be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least
some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include
the full IE only in Beacon frames).

The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE
sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the
previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the
new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

of power save related frames in hardware, but the driver is responsible

Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get()
which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible
for updating the templates after each association.

Also new struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr is added to ieee80211.h to make it

Add a new NL80211_CMD_SET_TX_BITRATE_MASK command and related
attributes to provide support for setting TX rate mask for rate

Jouni Malinen 37eb0b164c cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control
Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
which rates can be used in TX rate control.

Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.

The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
(but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
removed.

Jouni Malinen e00cfce0cb mac80211: Select lowest rate based on basic rate set in AP mode
If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
(e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
devices.

In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
association). Change this to take into account the basic rate
configuration in AP mode, i.e., use the lowest rate in the basic rate
set instead of the lowest supported rate when selecting the rate.

mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two

The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to

mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to

Johannes Berg cf0277e714 mac80211: fix skb buffering issue
Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and
then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel
operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be

mode) or stop beaconing (AP/IBSS) are not limited to scanning. Move
these into a separate file and allow them to be used for other
purposes, too.

Johannes Berg 0c1ad2cac1 mac80211: proper bss private data handling
cfg80211 offers private data for each BSS struct,
which mac80211 uses. However, mac80211 uses internal
and external (cfg80211) BSS pointers interchangeably
and has a hack to put the cfg80211 bss struct into
the private struct.

Remove this hack, properly converting between the
pointers wherever necessary.

Johannes Berg 8e664fb3fd mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctly
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT
IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests.
For association, that's correct only if the user-specified
IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including
WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in
two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN),
after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and
after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes,
split the IEs in different places to be correct according
to the spec.

Johannes Berg 77c8144ad3 mac80211: refactor association
Refactor the code to reserve an skb of the right size
(instead of hoping 200 bytes are enough forever), and
also put HT IE generation into an own function.

Additionally, put the HT IE before the vendor-specific
WMM IE. This still leaves things not quite ordered
correctly, due to user-specified IEs, add a note about
that for now.

The station we're authenticating/associating with
may not always be an AP in the sense that word is
mostly understood, so print only the MAC address
of the peer instead.

Johannes Berg af6b63741c mac80211: generalise work handling
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes
other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other
purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on
another channel) will be useful.

To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME
work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The
API can currently handle probing a specific AP,
authentication and association. The MLME previously
handled probe/authentication as one step and will
continue to do so, but they are separate in the new
work handling.

Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for
existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX
path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right
now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

Johannes Berg f679f65d41 mac80211: generalise management work a bit
As a first step of generalising management work,
this renames a few things and puts more information
directly into the struct so that auth/assoc need
not access the BSS pointer as often -- in fact it
can be removed from auth completely. Also since the
previous patch made sure a new work item is used
for association, we can make the different data a
union.

Johannes Berg 63f170e0c8 mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth state
mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by
keeping it on the work list. That can lead to
confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while
authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.)
It also means that it needs to keep track of the
work struct while associated for when it gets
disassociated (or disassociates.)

Change this to free the work struct after the
authentication completed successfully and
allocate a new one for associating, thereby
letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another
change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211
about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211
since now it can no longer check the auth state,
but that check was racy anyway.

Johannes Berg a80f7c0b08 mac80211: introduce flush operation
We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames
have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel
for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers
can implement to provide that confirmation, and use
it in a few places:
 * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames
 * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any
 * when going idle, to send any pending frames
