| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In two wiphy dump error cases, most often when the dump allocation must be increased, the RTNL is leaked. This quickly results in a complete system lockup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a STA has a peer that it hasn't seen any tx activity from for a certain length of time, the peer link is expired. This means the inactive STA is removed from the list of peers and that STA is not considered a peer again unless it re-peers. Previously, this inactivity time was always 30 minutes. Now, add it to the mesh configuration and allow it to be configured. Retain 30 minutes as a default value.

| * cfg80211: separate internal SME implementationJohannes Berg2013-06-041-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been causing issues for a long time. There are three things that the implementation has to provide: * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect() call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is really just mac80211) and wireless extensions * MLME events for the userspace SME * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all different SME implementation possibilities (driver, cfg80211 and userspace) To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the software SME's connection status outside of it's state (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead, track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the general case only track whether the wdev is connected or not (via wdev->current_bss.) Also separate the internal implementation to not have callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211) calls. This separates the code better. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * cfg80211/mac80211: clean up cfg80211 SME APIsJohannes Berg2013-06-041-17/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do some cleanups in the cfg80211 SME APIs, which are only used by mac80211. Most of these functions get a frame passed, and there isn't really any reason to export multiple functions as cfg80211 can check the frame type instead, do that. Additionally, the API functions have confusing names like cfg80211_send_...() which was meant to indicate that it sends an event to userspace, but gets a bit confusing when there's both TX and RX and they're not all clearly labeled.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * nl80211: fix attrbuf access race by allocating a separate oneJohannes Berg2013-06-191-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since my commit 3713b4e364 ("nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumps"), nl80211_dump_wiphy() uses the global nl80211_fam.attrbuf for parsing the incoming data. This wouldn't be a problem if it only did so on the first dump iteration which is locked against other commands in generic netlink, but due to space constraints in cb->args (the needed state doesn't fit) I decided to always parse the original message. That's racy though since nl80211_fam.attrbuf could be used by some other parsing in generic netlink concurrently. For now, fix this by allocating a separate parse buffer (it's a bit too big for the stack, currently 1448 bytes on 64-bit). For -next, I'll change the code to parse into the global buffer in the first round only and then allocate a smaller buffer to keep the data in cb->args.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Virtually all code paths in cfg80211 already (need to) hold the RTNL. As such, there's little point in having another four mutexes for various parts of the code, they just cause lock ordering issues (and much of the time, the RTNL and a few of the others need thus be held.) Simplify all this by getting rid of the extra four mutexes and just use the RTNL throughout. Only a few code changes were needed to do this and we can get rid of a work struct for bonus points.

* | cfg80211: Allow TDLS peer AID to be configured for VHTJouni Malinen2013-05-241-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VHT uses peer AID in the PARTIAL_AID field in TDLS frames. The current design for TDLS is to first add a dummy STA entry before completing TDLS Setup and then update information on this STA entry based on what was received from the peer during the setup exchange. In theory, this could use NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID to set the peer AID just like this is used in AP mode to set the AID of an association station. However, existing cfg80211 validation rules prevent this attribute from being used with set_station operation. To avoid interoperability issues between different kernel and user space version combinations, introduce a new nl80211 attribute for the purpose of setting TDLS peer AID. This attribute can be used in both the new_station and set_station operations. It is not supposed to be allowed to change the AID value during the lifetime of the STA entry, but that validation is left for drivers to do in the change_station callback.

* cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-spaceArend van Spriel2013-04-221-0/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and alter coexistence schemes.

To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The per-wiphy information is getting large, to the point where with more than the typical number of channels it's too large and overflows, and userspace can't get any of the information at all. To address this (in a way that doesn't require making all messages bigger) allow userspace to specify that it can deal with wiphy information split across multiple parts of the dump, and if it can split up the data. This also splits up each channel separately so an arbitrary number of channels can be supported. Additionally, since GET_WIPHY has the same problem, add support for filtering the wiphy dump and get information for a single wiphy only, this allows userspace apps to use dump in this case to retrieve all data from a single device. As userspace needs to know if all this this is supported, add a global nl80211 feature set and include a bit for this behaviour in it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | This is another case of data increasing the size of the wiphy information significantly with a new feature, for now remove this as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
