This device takes over an existing network device and produces a new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to not disrupt the existing network interface. To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection: ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses. This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project, which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet. However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements. We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is desired by some userspace process but is not available. This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet data into mac80211 frames.

When userspace is controlling mesh routing, it may have better knowledge about whether a mesh STA is connected to a mesh gate than the kernel mpath table. Add dot11MeshConnectedToMeshGate to the mesh config so that such applications can explicitly signal that a mesh STA is connected to a gate, which will then be advertised in the beacon.

The Connected to Mesh Gate subfield (802.11-2016 9.4.2.98.7) in the Mesh Formation Info field is currently unset. This field may be useful in determining which MBSSes to join or which mesh STAs to peer with. If this mesh STA is a gate, by having turned on mesh gate announcements, or if we have a path to one (e.g. by having received RANNs) then set this bit to 1.

In some cases, like in the rsi driver hardware scan offload, there may be scenarios in which hardware scan might not be available or desirable. Allow drivers to cope with this by letting them fall back to software scan by returning the special value 1 from the hardware scan method.

The mac80211_hwsim driver does not specify supported cipher types, which in turn enables all ciphers to be supported in software. (see net/mac80211/main.c:ieee80211_init_cipher_suites). Allowing ciphers to be configurable is valuable for simulating older drivers that may not support all ciphers. This patch adds a new attribute: - HWSIM_ATTR_CIPHER_SUPPORT A u32 array/list of supported cipher types This only allows enabling/disabling cipher types listed in the (new) "hwsim_ciphers" array in mac80211_hwsim.c. Any unknown cipher type will result in -EINVAL.

The mac80211_hwsim driver hard codes its supported interface types. For testing purposes it would be valuable to allow changing these supported types in order to simulate actual drivers than support a limited set of iftypes. A new attribute was added to allow this: - HWSIM_ATTR_IFTYPE_SUPPORT A u32 bit field of supported NL80211_IFTYPE_* bits This will only enable/disable iftypes that mac80211_hwsim already supports. In order to accomplish this, the ieee80211_iface_limit structure needed to be built dynamically to only include limit rules for iftypes that the user requested to enable.

When a wiphy changes its namespace, all interfaces are moved to the new namespace as well. The network interfaces are properly announced as leaving on the old and as appearing on the new namespace through RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_DELLINK. On nl80211, however, these events are missing for radios and their interfaces. Add netlink announcements through nl80211 when switching namespaces, so userspace can rely on these events to discover radios properly.

Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig. The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform. Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final complete message. Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running measurement. v3: - add a bit to report "final" for partial results - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results to the requester (big code reduction ...) - also send complete message unicast, and as a result remove the multicast group - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer - document timeout == 0 if no timeout - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0, must not include attribute for no timeout - make MAC address randomization optional - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather rather than the old default of 15==don't care) v4: - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation v5: - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst" v6: - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any pending measurements v7: - wording fixes (Lior) - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior) v8: - copyright statements - minor coding style fixes - fix error path leak Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Add a helper function nl_set_extack_cookie_u64() to use a u64 as the netlink extended ACK cookie, to avoid having to open-code it in any users of the cookie. A u64 should be sufficient for most subsystems though we allow for up to 20 bytes right now. This also matches the cookies in nl80211 where I intend to use this.

Current driver dynamically allocates an skb and maps it as DMA Rx buffer. In order to prepare for upcoming XDP changes, let's introduce a different allocation scheme. Buffers are allocated dynamically and mapped into hardware. During the Rx operation the driver uses build_skb() to produce the necessary buffers for the network stack. This change increases performance ~15% on 64b packets with smmu disabled and ~5% with smmu enabled Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Interferences on the SPI line could distort the response of available buffer space. So at least we should check that the response doesn't exceed the maximum available buffer space. In error case increase a new error counter and retry it later. This behavior avoids buffer errors in the QCA7000, which results in an unnecessary chip reset including packet loss.

When setting the SO_MARK socket option, if the mark changes, the dst needs to be reset so that a new route lookup is performed. This fixes the case where an application wants to change routing by setting a new sk_mark. If this is done after some packets have already been sent, the dst is cached and has no effect.

qeth_l3_setup_netdev() checks if the hsuid attribute is set on the qeth device, and propagates it to the net_device. In the past this was needed to pick up any hsuid that was set before allocation of the net_device. With commit d3d1b205 ("s390/qeth: allocate netdevice early") this is no longer necessary, qeth_l3_dev_hsuid_store() always stores the hsuid straight into dev->perm_addr.

If the CREATE ADDR sent by qeth_l3_iqd_read_initial_mac() fails, its callback sets a random MAC address on the net_device. The error then propagates back, and qeth_l3_setup_netdev() bails out without registering the net_device. Any subsequent call to qeth_l3_setup_netdev() will then attempt a fresh CREATE ADDR which either 1) also fails, or 2) sets a proper MAC address on the net_device. Consequently, the net_device will never be registered with a random MAC and we can drop the fallback code. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

qeth_l3_send_ipa_arp_cmd() is merely a wrapper around qeth_send_control_data() now. So push the length adjustment into QETH_SETASS_BASE_LEN, and remove the wrapper. While at it, also remove some redundant 0-initializations. qeth_send_setassparms() requires that callers prepare their command parameters, so that they can be copied into the parameter area in one go.

By default, READ MAC on a Layer2 OSD device returns the adapter's burnt-in MAC address. Given the default scenario of many virtual devices on the same adapter, qeth can't make any use of this address and therefore skips the READ MAC call for this device type. But in some configurations, the READ MAC command for a Layer2 OSD device actually returns a pre-provisioned, virtual MAC address. So enable the READ MAC code to detect this situation, and let the L2 subdriver call READ MAC for OSD devices. This also removes the QETH_LAYER2_MAC_READ flag, which protects L2 devices against calling READ MAC multiple times. Instead protect the whole call to qeth_l2_request_initial_mac().
