2011-11-26mac80211: fix NULL dereference in radiotap codeJohannes Berg
commit f8d1ccf15568268c76f913b45ecdd33134387f1a upstream. When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced. This was broken by my commit fc88518916793af8ad6a02e05ff254d95c36d875 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri Jul 30 13:23:12 2010 +0200 mac80211: don't check rates on PLCP error frames where I removed the check in this case but didn't take into account that the rate info would be used.

2011-05-02mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handlingChristian Lamparter
Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's own software crypto or when are handed down from the driver. This patch tries to unify both by moving the special branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the software crypto part. This has the advantage that we can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because several devices generate false postive MIC failure reports.

2011-03-28mac80211: fix aggregation frame release during timeoutDaniel Halperin
Suppose the aggregation reorder buffer looks like this: x-T-R1-y-R2, where x and y are frames that have not been received, T is a received frame that has timed out, and R1,R2 are received frames that have not yet timed out. The proper behavior in this scenario is to move the window past x (skipping it), release T and R1, and leave the window at y until y is received or R2 times out. As written, this code will instead leave the window at R1, because it has not yet timed out. Fix this by exiting the reorder loop only when the frame that has not timed out AND there are skipped frames earlier in the current valid window.

This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work, and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is the current operating channel. * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL and is-scanning flags instead. * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured for the operating channel. * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.

2011-02-04mac80211: do not restart ps timer during scan or offchannelRajkumar Manoharan
While leaving oper channel, STA informs sleep state to AP to stop sending data. Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by the following warning.

2011-01-19mac80211: drop non-auth 3-addr data frames when running as a 4-addr stationFelix Fietkau
When running as a 4-addr station against an AP that has the 4-addr VLAN interface and the main 3-addr AP interface bridged together, sometimes frames originating from the station were looping back from the 3-addr AP interface, causing the bridge code to emit warnings about receiving frames with its own source address. I'm not sure why this is happening yet, but I think it's a good idea to drop all frames (except 802.1x/EAP frames) that do not match the configured addressing mode, including 4-address frames sent to a 3-address station.

This patch addresses the issue of serialization between the main rx path and various reorder release timers. <http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html> It converts the previously local "frames" queue into a global rx queue [rx_skb_queue].

2010-12-16nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/DisassocJouni Malinen
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to management frame protection being in use. This notification is needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch between an AP and STA. This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP (IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7). IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Second, the frame was already converted to 802.3 header format and reading the fc and addr1 fields was only possible because the 802.3 header is short enough and didn't overwrite the relevant parts of the 802.11 header. Make the code more obvious by checking the ethernet header's h_dest field.
