Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c net/ipv6/sit.c The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this. The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-02-27mac80211: fix association to 20/40 MHz VHT networksJohannes Berg
When a VHT network uses 20 or 40 MHz as per the HT operation information, the channel center frequency segment 0 field in the VHT operation information is reserved, so ignore it. This fixes association with such networks when the AP puts 0 into the field, previously we'd disconnect due to an invalid channel with the message wlan0: AP VHT information is invalid, disable VHT Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: f2d9d270c15ae ("mac80211: support VHT association") Reported-by: Tim Nelson <tim.l.nelson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-24mac80211: don't validate unchanged AP bandwidth while trackingJohannes Berg
The MLME code in mac80211 must track whether or not the AP changed bandwidth, but if there's no change while tracking it shouldn't do anything, otherwise regulatory updates can make it impossible to connect to certain APs if the regulatory database doesn't match the information from the AP. See the precise scenario described in the code. This still leaves some possible problems with CSA or if the AP actually changed bandwidth, but those cases are less common and won't completely prevent using it.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix station wakeup powersave raceJohannes Berg
Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario: 1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver 2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered) 3) station wakes up again 4) driver unblocks wakeup In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following: 1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set 2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set 3) - nothing - 4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end(). Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432daeec ("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path. While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-20mac80211: insert stations before adding to driverJohannes Berg
There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which means that (for example) the following can happen: 1. a station connects and is added 2. first, it is added to the driver 3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was present yet. Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA sessions in the meantime.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach
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.

2014-02-17netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queueDaniel Borkmann
Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

2014-02-06mac80211: fix fragmentation code, particularly for encryptionJohannes Berg
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.

2014-02-06mac80211: Fix IBSS disconnectSujith Manoharan
Currently, when a station leaves an IBSS network, the corresponding BSS is not dropped from cfg80211 if there are other active stations in the network. But, the small window that is present when trying to determine a station's status based on IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_INTERVAL introduces a race. Instead of trying to keep the BSS, always remove it when leaving an IBSS network. There is not much benefit to retain the BSS entry since it will be added with a subsequent join operation. This fixes an issue where a dangling BSS entry causes ath9k to wait for a beacon indefinitely.

2014-02-04cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS joinAntonio Quartulli
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid only. With the current approach if another cell having the same BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211 picks up the wrong BSS object. The result is a mismatching channel configuration between cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of problem. The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on given channel and then asking the driver to create a new cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency. By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object. All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed accordingly. Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

2014-02-04mac80211: remove module handling from rate control opsJohannes Berg
There's not a single rate control algorithm actually in a separate module where the module refcount would be required. Similarly, there's no specific rate control module. Therefore, all the module handling code in rate control is really just dead code, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: minstrel_ht: sample_table can be __read_mostlyJohannes Berg
The sample table is initialized only once at module start, so is really __read_mostly. Additionally, the code to init it can be marked __init since it will never be needed again, it is likely automatically inlined into the __init function already by the compiler, so this doesn't really make a difference.

2014-02-04mac80211: make cfg80211 ops and privid constJohannes Berg
The wiphy privid (to identify wiphys) and the cfg80211 ops should both be const, so change them to be. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: make rate control ops constJohannes Berg
Change the code to allow making all the rate control ops const, nothing ever needs to change them. Also change all drivers to make use of this and mark the ops const. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2014-02-04mac80211: Fix ROC duration == 0 handlingIlan Peer
In case the given ROC duration is 0, update it to a minimal value before setting the ieee80211_roc_work parameters, so it also would be valid for cases where scan is in progress or there are other ROCs queued.

2014-02-04mac80211: use sdata mesh_id_len instead of wdev'sJohannes Berg
Since we copy the mesh_id_len into our own data structures, use it consistently and don't sometimes use cfg80211's copy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: mesh: remove mesh_id checkJohannes Berg
The mesh_id is an array so can't ever be NULL, it looks like mesh_id_len check was intended instead. However, since the previous patch, cfg80211 does the check, so just remove it here. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: fix the increment of mesh precedence valueChun-Yeow Yeoh
The mesh precedence value in ieee80211_channel_switch should be incremented or set to 1 only if this is the initiator of mesh channel switch. For non-initiator, the precedence value has updated using the Mesh Channel Switch Parameters element. Fix this.

2014-02-04mac80211: add check on hw->max_signal value on ieee80211_register_hwandrea merello
When IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC is set, mac80211 will perform a division by max_signal in ieee80211_bss_info_update. If max_signal is not properly set by the driver (for example it is zero) this leads to a divide error and crash. Thanks to Larry Finger, who pointed me to this. This patch adds in ieee80211_register_hw one more check to detect this condition and eventually returns -EINVAL, as already done for other checks already performed there.
