Public Action frames use special rules for how the BSSID field (Address 3) is set. A wildcard BSSID is used in cases where the transmitter and recipient are not members of the same BSS. As such, we need to accept Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID. Commit db8e1732 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when operating as AP") added a rule that drops Action frames to TDLS-peers based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID (Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not necessarily match. Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action frame when in AP mode.

Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this security issue and now has the following text: The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1. Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

When user-space has started a critical protocol session and a disconnect event occurs, the rdev::crit_prot_nlportid remains set. This caused a subsequent NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTO_START to fail (-EBUSY). Fix this by clearing the rdev attribute and call .crit_proto_stop() callback upon disconnect event.

The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited number of concurrent aggregation sessions. Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse effects.

The change from cur_tp to the function minstrel_get_tp_avg/minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg changed the unit used for the current throughput. For example in minstrel_ht the correct conversion between them would be: mrs->cur_tp / 10 == minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg(..). This factor 10 must also be included in the calculation of minstrel_get_expected_throughput and minstrel_ht_get_expected_throughput to return values with the unit [Kbps] instead of [10Kbps]. Otherwise routing algorithms like B.A.T.M.A.N. V will make incorrect decision based on these values. Its kernel based implementation expects expected_throughput always to have the unit [Kbps] and not sometimes [10Kbps] and sometimes [Kbps]. The same requirement has iw or olsrdv2's nl80211 based statistics module which retrieve the same data via NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE.

Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself.

The code within wait_event_interruptible() is called with !TASK_RUNNING, so mustn't call any functions that can sleep, like mutex_lock(). Since we re-check the list_empty() in a loop after the wait, it's safe to simply use list_empty() without locking. This bug has existed forever, but was only discovered now because all userspace implementations, including the default 'rfkill' tool, use poll() or select() to get a readable fd before attempting to read.

During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs. However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC and MESH iftypes. This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.

Non-bufferable MMPDUs are sent out to STAs even while in PS mode (for example probe responses). Applying filtered frame handling for these doesn't seem to make much sense and will only create more air utilization when the STA wakes up. Hence, apply filtered frame handling only for bufferable MMPDUs. Discovered while testing an old VOIP phone that started probing for APs while in PS mode. The mac80211/ath9k AP where the STA is associated would reply with a probe response but the phone sometimes moved to a new channel already and couldn't ack the probe response anymore. In that case mac80211 applied filtered frame handling for the un-acked probe response. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On hw restart, mac80211 might try to reconfigure already stopped sched scan, if ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped_work() wasn't scheduled yet. This in turn will keep the device driver with scheduled scan configured, while both mac80211 and cfg80211 will clear their sched scan state once the work is scheduled. Fix it by ignoring ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() calls while in hw restart, and flush the work before starting the reconfiguration.

My commit below broken PS-Poll handling. In case the driver has no frames buffered, driver_release_tids will be 0, but calling find_highest_prio_tid() with 0 as a parameter is not a good idea: fls(0) - 1 = -1. This bug caused mac80211 to think that frames were buffered in the driver which in turn was confused because mac80211 was asking to release frames that were not reported to exist.

This reverts commit cd37a90b. Different userspace programs interpreted HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER and HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_RECEIVER differently: some expected it to be an unchanging hardware address that is tied to the radio despite which address is configured on the interface, while others expected to be a copy of the address in the frame (the configured address). The intent of the original authors is unclear. The latter interpretation doesn't really work properly with multiple vifs and broadcast frames. Also, as the TA is already in the frame, userspace programs can actually support configured addresses in the former interpretation by mapping between them and the supplied HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER. So, in the interest of API stability, revert to the previous mode of operation and going forward use the former interpretation.

The current (new) code recalculates the new work timeout for software remain-on-channel whenever any item started. In two of the callers of ieee80211_handle_roc_started(), this is completely pointless since they're for hardware and will skip the recalculation entirely; it's necessary only in the case of having just added a new item to the list, as in the last remaining case the recalculation had just been done. This last case, however, is also problematic - if one of the items on the list actually expires during the recalc the list iteration outside becomes corrupted and crashes. Fix this by moving the recalculation to the only place where it's required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Thus it is not allowed to kfree the object before the rcu grace period ends (which may still protects context accessing this object). Therefore the object has first to be removed from the neigh_list and then it has either wait with synchronize_rcu or call_rcu till the grace period ends before it can be freed.

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time, followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes. The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space tool for accessing it. On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc). The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware doesn't provide the properties expected by them. The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings and debugfs support. A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over. Specifics: - Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring). - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael Wysocki). In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module- level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now (instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel is more in line with the upstream now. - Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu, Adrien Schildknecht). - Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard). - Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner). - Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu). - Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho). - Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King, Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki, Sinan Kaya). - Update the device properties framework for better handling of built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device properties and add support for passing default configuration data as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus, Andrew Morton). - Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly, introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz). - Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng Chen). - Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu). - Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael Wysocki). - Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device Tree bindings (Lee Jones). - Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on the Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling devices that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula where V is the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant coefficient provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little cpufreq driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal). - Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq, blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia, Jacob Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring). - cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us calculation (Rik van Riel). - Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x, ux500, exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during system suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may lead to inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko). - Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall, Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson). - PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit). - PCI PM code cleanups (Jarkko Nikula, Julia Lawall). - cpupower tool updates (Jacob Tanenbaum, Thomas Renninger)" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.5-rc1-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (177 commits) PM / clk: don't leave clocks enabled when driver not bound i2c: dw: Add APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device support ACPI / APD: Add APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device support ACPI / LPSS: change 'does not have' to 'has' in comment Revert "dmaengine: dw: platform: provide platform data for Intel" dmaengine: dw: return immediately from IRQ when DMA isn't in use dmaengine: dw: platform: power on device on shutdown ACPI / LPSS: override power state for LPSS DMA device PM / OPP: Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() Documentation: cpufreq: intel_pstate: enhance documentation ACPI, PCI, irq: remove redundant check for null string pointer ACPI / video: driver must be registered before checking for keypresses cpufreq-dt: fix handling regulator_get_voltage() result cpufreq: governor: Fix negative idle_time when configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC PM / sleep: Add support for read-only sysfs attributes ACPI: Fix white space in a structure definition ACPI / SBS: fix inconsistent indenting inside if statement PNP: respect PNP_DRIVER_RES_DO_NOT_CHANGE when detaching ACPI / PNP: constify device IDs ACPI / PCI: Simplify acpi_penalize_isa_irq() ...

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type. Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the moment. - The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface. - Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in the said branch. - Various cleanups * 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: rename cgroup documentations cgroup: fix a typo. cgroup: Remove resource_counter.txt in Documentation/cgroup-legacy/00-INDEX. cgroup: demote subsystem init messages to KERN_DEBUG cgroup: Fix uninitialized variable warning cgroup: put controller Kconfig options in meaningful order cgroup: clean up the kernel configuration menu nomenclature cgroup_pids: fix a typo.
