git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sameo/nfc-3.0 This is an NFC LLCP fix for 3.7 and contains only one patch. It fixes a potential crash when receiving an LLCP HDLC frame acking a frame that is not the last sent one. In that case we may dereference an already freed pointer.

2012-11-30cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access racesJohannes Berg
When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the IEs concurrently. Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct that holds the data and length and protecting access to this new struct with RCU. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-30mac80211: fix for mesh sync to indicate TBTT adjustmentMarco Porsch
Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment, but it never sets the corresponding flag itself. By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons. This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue tracking the new offset.

2012-11-26mac80211: fix remain-on-channel (non-)cancellingJohannes Berg
Felix Liao reported that when an interface is set DOWN while another interface is executing a ROC, the warning in ieee80211_start_next_roc() (about the first item on the list having started already) triggers. This is because ieee80211_roc_purge() calls it even if it never actually changed the list of ROC items. To fix this, simply remove the function call. If it is needed then it will be done by the ieee80211_sw_roc_work() function when the ROC item that is being removed while active is cleaned up.

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configurationJohannes Berg
Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26cfg80211: pass a channel definition structJohannes Berg
Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel typeJohannes Berg
As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26mac80211: fix managed mode channel flags handlingJohannes Berg
If ieee80211_prep_channel() decides that HT should be disabled (because the HT IEs from the AP were invalid) it will set the IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT to not send HT capabilities to the AP when associating. If this happens during authentication, the flag will be lost and we send HT frames, even if the channel config was set up for non-HT. This can lead to issues. Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero when the channel context is released so that the flag resetting in ieee80211_mgd_assoc() isn't necessary. To make the code a bit easier move the call to release the channel in ieee80211_set_disassoc() to the end of the function together with the flag resetting (which needs to be at the end to avoid timers setting flags.)

2012-11-26mac80211: in ADHOC don't update last_rx if sta is not authorizedAntonio Quartulli
It does not make sense to keep a station alive if it is not authorised at all. If IBSS/RSN is used it could also be the case that something went wrong during the keys exchange and the stations ended up in a not recoverable state. By not updating last_rx we are giving the station a chance to be deleted and to start the key exchange once again from scratch.

2012-11-23cfg80211: use DS or HT operation IEs to determine BSS channelJohannes Berg
Currently, mac80211 checks the DS params IE if present and uses it for the (primary) BSS channel, instead of the one that the frame was received on. This is particularly useful in the 2.4 GHz band since a frame is often received on one of the adjacent channels due to overlap. Move this code to cfg80211 so other drivers also do this. Additionally, on 5 GHz, in particular with some (possibly) upcoming changes in 802.11ai and duplicate transmissions when wider channels are used, something similar happens. So if present, also use the (primary) channel information contained in the HT operation IE. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-23mac80211: disable HT advertising unless AP supports itJohannes Berg
If the AP doesn't support HT, or more importantly if it does but we have to disable it because its IEs are broken, don't advertise HT support in our association request. Otherwise, we configure our channel to be a 20 MHz non-HT channel but the AP might still think we support HT, or even 40 MHz. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-23mac80211: rename IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_11N to HTJohannes Berg
Since the 11n spec amendment was rolled into the 2012 version, "11n" no longer makes sense. Use "HT" instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-23mac80211: fix RX chains configurationJohannes Berg
If the driver doesn't support 40 MHz channels, then mac80211 erroneously sets number of RX chains to one although the number of chains is independent of the support for 40 MHz channels. Fix this by checking the 40 MHz support only for the code that sets the 40 MHz channel not the complete HT code block. This also means the HT20 channel type will always be set in the changed code block so there's no need to set it in case we override the AP due to invalid IEs in the probe response/beacon. The indentation is a bit quirky, but I'm rewriting this code for VHT support so this will change again very soon. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-23mac80211: fix radiotap vendor area skippingJohannes Berg

2012-11-20mac80211: fix channel context suspend/reconfig handlingJohannes Berg
Sujith reported warnings with suspend/resume due to channel contexts. When I looked into it, I realised that the code was completely broken as it unassigned the channel contexts when suspending, which actually means they are destroyed. Eliad Peller then pointed out that we also need to remove the channel contexts from the driver. When I looked into this, I also noticed that the code isn't handling the virtual monitor interface correctly (if it exists.) Fix this by calling just the driver methods (if they are implemented) instead of using the channel context management code. Also add reconfiguration for the virtual monitor interface.
