commit 3633ebeb upstream. We already set a station to be associated when peering completes, both in user space and in the kernel. Thus we should always have an associated sta before sending data frames to that station. Failure to check assoc state can cause crashes in the lower-level driver due to transmitting unicast data frames before driver sta structures (e.g. ampdu state in ath9k) are initialized. This occurred when forwarding in the presence of fixed mesh paths: frames were transmitted to stations with whom we hadn't yet completed peering. Reported-by:

commit 9c1c98a3 upstream. The current minstrel_ht rate control behavior is somewhat optimistic in trying to find optimum TX rate. While this is usually fine for normal Data frames, there are cases where a more conservative set of retry parameters would be beneficial to make the connection more robust. EAPOL frames are critical to the authentication and especially the EAPOL-Key message 4/4 (the last message in the 4-way handshake) is important to get through to the AP. If that message is lost, the only recovery mechanism in many cases is to reassociate with the AP and start from scratch. This can often be avoided by trying to send the frame with more conservative rate and/or with more link layer retries. In most cases, minstrel_ht is currently using the initial EAPOL-Key frames for probing higher rates and this results in only five link layer transmission attempts (one at high(ish) MCS and four at MCS0). While this works with most APs, it looks like there are some deployed APs that may have issues with the EAPOL frames using HT MCS immediately after association. Similarly, there may be issues in cases where the signal strength or radio environment is not good enough to be able to get frames through even at couple of MCS 0 tries. The best approach for this would likely to be to reduce the TX rate for the last rate (3rd rate parameter in the set) to a low basic rate (say, 6 Mbps on 5 GHz and 2 or 5.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz), but doing that cleanly requires some more effort. For now, we can start with a simple one-liner that forces the minimum rate to be used for EAPOL frames similarly how the TX rate is selected for the IEEE 802.11 Management frames. This does result in a small extra latency added to the cases where the AP would be able to receive the higher rate, but taken into account how small number of EAPOL frames are used, this is likely to be insignificant. A future optimization in the minstrel_ht design can also allow this patch to be reverted to get back to the more optimized initial TX rate. It should also be noted that many drivers that do not use minstrel as the rate control algorithm are already doing similar workarounds by forcing the lowest TX rate to be used for EAPOL frames.

commit 08b99399 upstream. This reverts commit 277d916f as it was at least breaking iwlwifi by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag in all kinds of interface modes, not only for AP mode where it is appropriate. To avoid reintroducing the original problem, explicitly check for probe request frames in the multicast buffering code.

commit 112c44b2 upstream. commit de74a1d9 "mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta" fixed an issue where queued multicast packets would be sent out encrypted with the key of an other bss. commit "7cbf9d01" "mac80211: fix oops on mesh PS broadcast forwarding" essentially reverted it, because vif.type cannot be AP_VLAN due to the check to vif.type in ieee80211_get_buffered_bc before. As the later commit intended to fix the MESH case, fix it by checking for IFTYPE_AP instead of IFTYPE_AP_VLAN. Fixes: 7cbf9d01 ("mac80211: fix oops on mesh PS broadcast forwarding") Signed-off-by:

commit 1d147bfa upstream. There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

commit 338f977f upstream. The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

There are some rates in reduced bandwidth modes which can't be represented as multiples of 500kbps, like 2.25 MBit/s in 5 MHz mode. The standard suggests to round up to the next multiple of 500kbps, just do that in mac80211 as well. Signed-off-by:

If the driver advertised support for a CAB queue, then we should put all multicast frames there, otherwise sending them can be racy with clients going to sleep while we TX a frame. To avoid this, always TX multicast frames on the multicast queue. It seems like even drivers not using the queue framework might want to do this which would mean also moving the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM flag assignment, but it also seems that drivers behave differently here so that just moving it wouldn't be a good idea. It'd be better to modify those drivers to use the queue framework. Signed-off-by:

Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table. Signed-off-by:

When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the data rate"(code comments). But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its 1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic rate index. This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in this situation. Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates. Signed-off-by:

In my commit 1672c0e3 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211. Reported-by:

When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent. If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key. This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry. Signed-off-by:

Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by:

When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses. Signed-off-by:

When we had a connection for WoWLAN and after resume it needed to be disconnected, the previous commit enabled sending a deauth frame to the AP. This frame would not go through on MFP-enabled networks as the key for it is marked tainted before the frame is transmitted. Allow a tainted key to be used for deauth frames. Worst case, we'll use a wrong key because the PTK was rekeyed while suspended, but more likely the PTK is still fine and the taint flag really only applies to the GTK(s). Signed-off-by:
