Get rid of the ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr struct and instead build the
rtap header dynamically. This makes it easier to extend the rtap header
generation in the future.
Add ieee80211_tx_radiotap_len to calculate the expected size of the

add a WARN_ON_ONCE.

This was another workaround for truesize "bugs".
The reason we did this was that when we orphaned
the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later.
Now that the check is gone (and we just charge
the former smaller size to the socket) there's
no longer a reason to orphan the skb here.
Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is
really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This
helps flow control and allows us to get at the
socket later for other purposes.

There's no need to adjust truesize.
The history of this was that we always ran into
skb_truesize_bug (via skb_truesize_check) which
has since been removed in commit 92a0acce18.
skb_truesize_check() checked that truesize was
bigger or equal to the actual allocation, which
would trigger in mac80211 due to header adding.
The check no longer exists and we shouldn't be
messing with the truesize anwyay.

Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe
request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting
hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected
quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate

As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should

iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from

it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
but doing it directly would cause reordering
issues.
This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
into an absence period without transmitting
any frames that should be driver-released as
in this case there's no other way to inform
mac80211 that the service period ended. Note

If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
there is no way to detect that since it has no
sequence number. As a consequence, the standard
asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the
response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost).
Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to
also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the
IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response
packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.
We could use separate flags, but that will most

Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly

accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.
ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.
Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

sta_info_insert_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition for IBSS interfaces
sta_info_insert_non_ibss - the function that handles the station

As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up
correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user
space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients
reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck
connections.
According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush
the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite.
However, assume the following frame exchange:
AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed)
AP -> STA, BAR (failed)
The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't
deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush
its reorder buffer.
This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this
exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel
5100 Windows client.
In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as
soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX
and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the
driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and
similar information from the device upon resume,
or if the device isn't responsive due to platform
issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up
as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time
could be replayed against it.
The only protection against that is disconnecting
from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while
it is resuming would be very complex and invasive
in the case that the driver requires a reconfig,
so do it after it has resumed completely. In that
case, however, packets might be replayed since it
can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so
mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect
as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent
or received with those keys.

The current rx->queue value is slightly confusing.
It is set to 16 on non-QoS frames, including data,
and then used for sequence number and PN/IV checks.
Until recently, we had a TKIP IV checking bug that
had been introduced in 2008 to fix a seqno issue.
Before that, we always used TID 0 for checking the
PN or IV on non-QoS packets.
Go back to the old status for PN/IV checks using
the TID 0 counter for non-QoS by splitting up the
rx->queue value into "seqno_idx" and "security_idx"
in order to avoid confusion in the future. They
each have special rules on the value used for non-
QoS data frames.
Since the handling is now unified, also revert the
special TKIP handling from my patch

Our current TKIP code races against itself on TX
since we can process multiple packets at the same
time on different ACs, but they all share the TX
context for TKIP. This can lead to bad IVs etc.
Also, the crypto offload helper code just obtains
the P1K/P2K from the cache, and can update it as
well, but there's no guarantee that packets are
really processed in order.
To fix these issues, first introduce a spinlock
that will protect the IV16/IV32 values in the TX
context. This first step makes sure that we don't
assign the same IV multiple times or get confused
in other ways.
Secondly, change the way the P1K cache works. I
add a field "p1k_iv32" that stores the value of
the IV32 when the P1K was last recomputed, and
if different from the last time, then a new P1K
is recomputed. This can cause the P1K computation
to flip back and forth if packets are processed
out of order. All this also happens under the new
spinlock.
Finally, because there are argument differences,
split up the ieee80211_get_tkip_key() API into
ieee80211_get_tkip_p1k() and ieee80211_get_tkip_p2k()

Unlike CCMP, the presence or absence of the QoS
field doesn't change the encryption, only the
TID is used. When no QoS field is present, zero
is used as the TID value. This means that it is
possible for an attacker to take a QoS packet
with TID 0 and replay it as a non-QoS packet.
Unfortunately, mac80211 uses different IVs for
checking the validity of the packet's TKIP IV
when it checks TID 0 and when it checks non-QoS
packets. This means it is vulnerable to this
replay attack.
To fix this, use the same replay counter for
TID 0 and non-QoS packets by overriding the
rx->queue value to 0 if it is 16 (non-QoS).
This is a minimal fix for now. I caused this
issue in

The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only
has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy
(though really only technically since it's invoked
from a single function only) since it obtains the
new size of the table without any locking, so two
invocations of the function could attempt the same
resize.
Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is
rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here.

So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just
the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session
use a separate temporary array protected only by
the spinlock and protect all assignments to the
"live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so
that other code is easily verified to be correct.

Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
