| | * cfg80211: add channel utilization stats to the survey commandFelix Fietkau2010-10-111-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using these, user space can calculate a relative channel utilization with arbitrary intervals by regularly taking snapshots of the survey results.

| | * wireless: Set some stats used by /proc/net/wireless (wext)Ben Greear2010-10-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some stats for /proc/net/wireless (and wext in general) are not being set. This patch addresses a few of those with values easily obtained from mac80211 core. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| | * Revert "wireless: Use first phyX name available when registering phy devices."Johannes Berg2010-10-111-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5a254ffe3ffdfa84fe076009bd8e88da412180d2. The commit failed to take into account that allocated wireless devices (wiphys) are not added into the device list upon allocation, but only when they are registered. Therefore, it opened up a race between allocating and registering a name, so that if two processes allocate and register concurrently ("alloc, alloc, register, register" rather than "alloc, register, alloc, register") the code will attempt to use the same name twice.

| | * cfg80211: fix BSS double-unlinkingJohannes Berg2010-10-061-6/+6

This can cause errors since the unlinking code can't currently deal with items that have already been unlinked. Normally this doesn't happen as most people don't try to use multiple station interfaces that associate at the same time too. Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to see if the item is still on a list.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

The wireless driver infrastructure and some of the drivers make use of generated debugfs files, so they cannot be converted by our script that automatically determines the right operation. All these files use debugfs and they typically rely on simple_read_from_buffer, so the best llseek operation here is generic_file_llseek. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: "John W.

It is very unlikely that this happens in any of the drivers using private ioctls since it would show up as junk being reported by iwpriv, but it seems better to be safe here, so use kzalloc.

* | | wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leakJohannes Berg2010-08-302-0/+19
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented requirement which requires drivers to always fill iwp->length when returning a successful status. When a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer than would have been necessary. Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately indicated that the buffer contents was not valid. However, we can also at least avoid the memory content leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how big the userspace buffer is. To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).
