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: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Support them only if the driver advertises support for them via IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_ACTIVE_MONITOR. Unlike normal monitor interfaces, they are added to the driver, along with their MAC address. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

An active monitor interface is one that is used for communication (via injection). It is expected to ACK incoming unicast packets. This is useful for running various 802.11 testing utilities that associate to an AP via injection and manage the state in user space.

Make the current WoWLAN configuration available to drivers at runtime. This isn't really useful for the normal WoWLAN behaviour and accessing it can also be racy, but drivers may use it for testing the WoWLAN device behaviour while the host stays up & running to observe the device.

By making all the API functions require wdev locking we can clean up the API a bit, getting rid of the locking version of each function. This also decreases the size of cfg80211 by a small amount. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The reg_mutex is similar to the ones I just removed in cfg80211 but even less useful since it protects global data, and we hold the RTNL in all places (except module unload) already. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If the driver for some reason successfully finishes scanning while in p2p_stop_device(), cfg80211 will still set it to aborted. Simplify this code using the new 'notified' value and only mark it aborted in case the driver didn't notify cfg80211 at all (in which case we also leak the request to not crash, this is a driver bug.)

Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in mac80211 to call cfg80211, which even needed a framework to make cfg80211 calls after some functions returned etc. Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211 that the state changed (in another way.)

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.

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.

Some chips can tell us if received frame was encoded with STBC or not.

Since Eric's commit efe117ab ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

A lot of code in mac80211 assumes that the hw queues are set up correctly for all interfaces (except for monitor) but this isn't true for AP_VLAN interfaces. Fix this by copying the AP master configuration when an AP VLAN is brought up, after this the AP interface can't change its configuration any more and needs to be brought down to change it, which also forces AP_VLAN interfaces down, so just copying in open() is sufficient.

The code I added in "mac80211: don't start new netdev queues if driver stopped" crashes for monitor and AP VLAN interfaces because while they have a netdev, they don't have queues set up by the driver. To fix the crash, exclude these from queue accounting here and just start their netdev queues unconditionally. For monitor, this is the best we can do, as we can redirect frames there to any other interface and don't know which one that will since it can be different for each frame. For AP VLAN interfaces, we can do better later and actually properly track the queue status. Not doing this is really a separate bug though.

We send direct probe to broadcast address, as some APs do not respond to unicast PROBE frames when unassociated. Broadcast frames are not acked, so we can not use that for trigger MLME state machine, but we need to use old timeout mechanism. This fixes authentication timed out like below: [ 1024.671974] wlan6: authenticate with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe [ 1024.694125] wlan6: direct probe to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) [ 1024.695450] wlan6: direct probe to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3) [ 1024.700586] wlan6: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3) [ 1024.701441] wlan6: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out With fix, we have: [ 4524.198978] wlan6: authenticate with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe [ 4524.220692] wlan6: direct probe to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) [ 4524.421784] wlan6: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3) [ 4524.423272] wlan6: authenticated [ 4524.423811] wlan6: associate with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3) [ 4524.427492] wlan6: RX AssocResp from 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.9 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Generally, the DTIM period is available after a beacon has been received, and if no beacon has been received enabling powersave is problematic anyway for synchronisation. Since some drivers may require the DTIM period for powersave, don't enable powersave until it becomes available in case the scan/association managed to not receive a beacon.

When an HT AP is advertising channel switch in a beacon, it doesn't (and shouldn't, according to 802.11-2012 Table 8-20) include a secondary channel offset element. The only possible interpretation is that the previous secondary channel offset remains valid, so use that when switching channel based only on beacon information. VHT requires the Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch subelement to be present in the Channel Switch Wrapper element, so the code for that is probably ok (see 802.11ac Draft 4, 8.4.2.165.)
