2013-11-04wireless: radiotap: fix parsing buffer overrunJohannes Berg
commit f5563318ff1bde15b10e736e97ffce13be08bc1a upstream. When parsing an invalid radiotap header, the parser can overrun the buffer that is passed in because it doesn't correctly check 1) the minimum radiotap header size 2) the space for extended bitmaps The first issue doesn't affect any in-kernel user as they all check the minimum size before calling the radiotap function. The second issue could potentially affect the kernel if an skb is passed in that consists only of the radiotap header with a lot of extended bitmaps that extend past the SKB. In that case a read-only buffer overrun by at most 4 bytes is possible. Fix this by adding the appropriate checks to the parser.

2013-08-11nl80211: fix mgmt tx status and testmode reporting for netnsMichal Kazior
commit a0ec570f4f69c4cb700d743a915096c2c8f56a99 upstream. These two events were sent to the default network namespace. This caused AP mode in a non-default netns to not work correctly. Mgmt tx status was multicasted to a different (default) netns instead of the one the AP was in.

2013-05-07wireless: regulatory: fix channel disabling race conditionJohannes Berg
commit 990de49f74e772b6db5208457b7aa712a5f4db86 upstream. When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well. Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct.

2012-11-17mac80211: verify that skb data is presentJohannes Berg
commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream. A number of places in the mesh code don't check that the frame data is present and in the skb header when trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data that doesn't actually exist. To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be able to use it in mac80211.

2012-11-17cfg80211: fix antenna gain handlingFelix Fietkau
commit c4a9fafc77a5318f5ed26c509bbcddf03e18c201 upstream. No driver initializes chan->max_antenna_gain to something sensible, and the only place where it is being used right now is inside ath9k. This leads to ath9k potentially using less tx power than it can use, which can decrease performance/range in some rare cases. Rather than going through every single driver, this patch initializes chan->orig_mag in wiphy_register(), ignoring whatever value the driver left in there. If a driver for some reason wishes to limit it independent from regulatory rulesets, it can do so internally.

2012-10-02cfg80211: fix possible circular lock on reg_regdb_search()Luis R. Rodriguez
commit a85d0d7f3460b1a123b78e7f7e39bf72c37dfb78 upstream. When call_crda() is called we kick off a witch hunt search for the same regulatory domain on our internal regulatory database and that work gets kicked off on a workqueue, this is done while the cfg80211_mutex is held. If that workqueue kicks off it will first lock reg_regdb_search_mutex and later cfg80211_mutex but to ensure two CPUs will not contend against cfg80211_mutex the right thing to do is to have the reg_regdb_search() wait until the cfg80211_mutex is let go.

2012-08-15cfg80211: fix interface combinations check for ADHOC(IBSS)Liang Li
partial of commit 8e8b41f9d8c8e63fc92f899ace8da91a490ac573 upstream. As part of commit 463454b5dbd8 ("cfg80211: fix interface combinations check"), this extra check was introduced: if ((all_iftypes & used_iftypes) != used_iftypes) goto cont; However, most wireless NIC drivers did not advertise ADHOC in wiphy.iface_combinations[i].limits[] and hence we'll get -EBUSY when we bring up a ADHOC wlan with commands similar to: # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc && ifconfig wlan0 up In commit 8e8b41f9d8c8e ("cfg80211: enforce lack of interface combinations"), the change below fixes the issue: if (total == 1) return 0; But it also introduces other dependencies for stable. For example, a full cherry pick of 8e8b41f9d8c8e would introduce additional regressions unless we also start cherry picking driver specific fixes like the following: 9b4760e ath5k: add possible wiphy interface combinations 1ae2fc2 mac80211_hwsim: advertise interface combinations 20c8e8d ath9k: add possible wiphy interface combinations And the purpose of the 'if (total == 1)' is to cover the specific use case (IBSS, adhoc) that was mentioned above. So we just pick the specific part out from 8e8b41f9d8c8e here. Doing so gives stable kernels a way to fix the change introduced by 463454b5dbd8, without having to make cherry picks specific to various NIC drivers.

That broke rt2x00 (and perhaps some other drivers) that do not set chan->max_power. It is not so easy to fix this problem correctly in rt2x00.

commit 80007efeff0568375b08faf93c7aad65602cb97e upstream. It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0] has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated. Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time when their database is empty. This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes.

2012-04-05simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()Stephen Boyd
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: <smpl> @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-03-26cfg80211: allow CFG80211_SIGNAL_TYPE_UNSPEC in station_infoJohn W. Linville
The station_info struct had demanded dBm signal values, but the cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting "unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was completely unaware of them.

This patch adds an attribute, NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT, to set the inactivity timeout which can be used to remove the station in AP mode. This can be passed in NL80211_CMD_START_AP and used by the drivers which have AP MLME in firmware but don't support get_station() properly. To disable inactivity timer in userspace, wpa_s for example, there is a new flag, NL80211_FEATURE_INACTIVITY_TIMER, in nl80211_feature_flags through which drivers can register their capability to use the inactivity timeout to free the stations.

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.

Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA, wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased entities: o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0] - Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> - Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2] - ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com - kalle.valo@nokia.com Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled, "wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as uncopyrightable. As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia my contact point was Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@nokia.com> but after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing their contributions in previous patches. The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with the regulatory simulator [3].

2011-12-16cfg80211: allow following country IE power for custom regdom cardsLuis R. Rodriguez
By definition WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY was intended to allow the wiphy to adjust itself to the country IE power information if the card had no regulatory data but we had no way to tell cfg80211 that if the card also had its own custom regulatory domain (these are typically custom world regulatory domains) that we want to follow the country IE's noted values for power for each channel. We add support for this and document it. This is not a critical fix but a performance optimization for cards with custom regulatory domains that associate to an AP with sends out country IEs with a higher EIRP than the one on the custom regulatory domain. In practice the only driver affected right now are the Atheros drivers as they are the only drivers using both WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY and WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY -- used on cards that have an Atheros world regulatory domain. Cards that have been programmed to follow a country specifically will not follow the country IE power. So although not a stable fix distributions should consider cherry picking this.
