2012-03-07mac80211: Filter duplicate IE idsPaul Stewart
mac80211 is lenient with respect to reception of corrupted beacons. Even if the frame is corrupted as a whole, the available IE elements are still passed back and accepted, sometimes replacing legitimate data. It is unknown to what extent this "feature" is made use of, but it is clear that in some cases, this is detrimental. One such case is reported in http://crosbug.com/26832 where an AP corrupts its beacons but not its probe responses. One approach would be to completely reject frames with invaid data (for example, if the last tag extends beyond the end of the enclosing PDU). The enclosed approach is much more conservative: we simply prevent later IEs from overwriting the state from previous ones. This approach hopes that there might be some salient data in the IE stream before the corruption, and seeks to at least prevent that data from being overwritten. This approach will fix the case above. Further, we flag element structures that contain data we think might be corrupted, so that as we fill the mac80211 BSS structure, we try not to replace data from an un-corrupted probe response with that of a corrupted beacon, for example. Short of any statistics gathering in the various forms of AP breakage, it's not possible to ascertain the side effects of more stringent discarding of data.

2012-02-29mac80211: make deauth/disassoc sequence more naturalJohannes Berg
The association sequence looks (roughly) like this now: * set BSSID * set station to EXIST state * send auth * set station to AUTH state * send assoc * set station to ASSOC state * set BSS info to associated In contrast, the deauth/disassoc sequence is the other way around: * clear BSSID/BSS info state * remove station * send deauth/disassoc (in some cases the last two steps are reversed.) This patch encodes the entire sequence in the ieee80211_set_disassoc() function and changes it to be like this, for good measure with an explicit flush: * send deauth/disassoc * flush * remove station * clear BSSID/BSS info state At least iwlwifi gets confused with the other sequence in P2P mode and complains that it wasn't able to flush the queues.

2012-02-27mac80211: fix auth/assoc data & timer leakJohannes Berg

The timer then crashes the system when it fires as its data is gone. Fix this by explicitly deleting all the data when the interface is removed.

2012-02-21mac80211: Fix a warning on changing to monitor mode from STAMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
nothing needs to be done for monitor/AP_VLAN mode on calling ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify -> drv_bss_info_changed with the change flag 'BSS_CHANGED_IDLE'. 'wl1271' seems to use BSS_CHANGED_IDLE only for STA and IBSS mode. further the non-idle state of the monitor mode is taken care by the 'count' variable which counts non-idle interfaces. ieee80211_idle_off(local, "in use") will be called. this fixes the following WARNING when we have initially STA mode (network manager running) and not associated, and change it to monitor mode with network manager disabled and bringing up the monitor mode. this changes the idle state from 'true' (STA unassociated) to 'false' (MONITOR mode) exposed by the commit 405385f8ce7a2ed8f82e216d88b5282142e1288b "mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connected" WARNING: net/mac80211/main.c:212 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211]() Hardware name: 64756D6 Pid: 3835, comm: ifconfig Tainted: G O 3.3.0-rc3-wl #9 Call Trace: [<c0133b02>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<c0133b52>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [<fc8e8c3f>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8f9de3>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x113/0x430 [mac80211] [<fc8fabc6>] ieee80211_do_open+0x156/0x7e0 [mac80211] [<fc8f8a25>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x25/0x180 [mac80211] [<c015dd9f>] ? raw_notifier_call_chain+0x1f/0x30 [<fc8fb290>] ieee80211_open+0x40/0x80 [mac80211] [<c05894f6>] __dev_open+0x96/0xe0 [<c068fba5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x35/0x40 [<c05881d9>] __dev_change_flags+0x109/0x170 [<c0589423>] dev_change_flags+0x23/0x60 [<c05f3770>] devinet_ioctl+0x6a0/0x770 ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - in use Cc: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-02-06cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg
To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

2012-02-06mac80211: remove dummy STA supportJohannes Berg
The dummy STA support was added because I didn't want to change the driver API at the time. Now that we have state transitions triggering station add/remove in the driver, we only call add once a station reaches ASSOCIATED, so we can remove the dummy station stuff again. While at it, tighten the RX check and accept only port control (EAP) frames from the AP station if it's not associated yet -- in other cases there's no race.

2012-02-06mac80211: implement sta_add/sta_remove in sta_stateJohannes Berg
Instead of maintaining separate sta_add/sta_remove callsites, implement it in sta_state when the driver has no sta_state implementation. The only behavioural change this should cause is in secure mesh mode: with this the station entries will only be created after the stations are set to AUTH. Given which drivers support mesh, this seems to not be a problem. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-02-06mac80211: add sta_state callbackJohannes Berg
(based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state. This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in handling it when a station is inserted, particularly in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry around for mac80211 purposes.

2012-02-06mac80211: add NOTEXIST station stateJohannes Berg
This will be used by drivers later if they need to have stations inserted all the time, in mac80211 has no purpose, is never used and sta_state starts out in NONE. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-02-06mac80211: dont program keys for stations not uploadedJohannes Berg
If a station couldn't be uploaded to the driver but is still kept (only in IBSS mode) we still shouldn't try to program the keys for it into hardware; fix this bug by skipping the key upload in this case.

2012-02-06mac80211: simplify AP_VLAN handlingJohannes Berg
Setting keys and updating TKIP keys must use the BSS sdata (not AP_VLAN), so we translate. Move the translation into driver-ops wrappers instead of having it inline in the code to simplify the normal code flow. The same can be done for sta_add/remove which already does the translation in the wrapper. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-02-06mac80211: move managed mode station state modificationJohannes Berg
Move the station state modification right before insert, this just makes the current code more readable (you can tell that it's before insertion looking at a single screenful of code) right now, but some upcoming changes will require this.

2012-02-01mac80211: timeout a single frame in the rx reorder bufferEliad Peller
The current code checks for stored_mpdu_num > 1, causing the reorder_timer to be triggered indefinitely, but the frame is never timed-out (until the next packet is received) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
