* nl80211: fix old station flags compatibilityJohannes Berg2012-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch to validate station flags broke compatibility with the old station flags setting where all flags are always set at once since it always set the mask as all possible flags which ended up being rejected later in the station add/modify code. Fix by parsing only the current flags in the old flags attribute -- new applications and new flags should use (and will now require) the new flags attribute where the mask is given by the application.

* cfg80211: relicense reg.c reg.h and genregdb.awk to ISCLuis R. Rodriguez2012-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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].

* cfg80211: Restore orig channel values upon disconnectRajkumar Manoharan2011-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we restore regulatory settings the world regulatory domain is properly reset on cfg80211 (or user prefered regulatory domain) but we were never setting back channel values for drivers that use WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY. Set these values up again by using the orig_ channel parameters. This fixes restoring custom regulatory settings upon disconnect events.

* cfg80211: allow following country IE power for custom regdom cardsLuis R. Rodriguez2011-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling betterJohannes Berg2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

* cfg80211: Fix race in bss timeoutVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2011-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is quite possible to run into a race in bss timeout where the drivers see the bss entry just before notifying cfg80211 of a roaming event but it got timed out by the time rdev->event_work got scehduled from cfg80211_wq. This would result in the following WARN-ON() along with the failure to notify the user space of the roaming. The other situation which is happening with ath6kl that runs into issue is when the driver reports roam to same AP event where the AP bss entry already got expired. To fix this, move cfg80211_get_bss() from __cfg80211_roamed() to cfg80211_roamed().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Johannes' patch for "cfg80211: fix regulatory NULL dereference" broke user regulaotry hints and it did not address the fact that last_request was left populated even if the previous regulatory hint was stale due to the wiphy disappearing. Fix user reguluatory hints by only bailing out if for those regulatory hints where a request_wiphy is expected. The stale last_request considerations are addressed through the previous fixes on last_request where we reset the last_request to a static world regdom request upon reset_regdomains(). In this case though we further enhance the effect by simply restoring reguluatory settings completely. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a theoretical race that if hit will trigger a crash. The race is between when we issue the first regulatory hint, regulatory_hint_core(), gets processed by the workqueue and between when the first device gets registered to the wireless core. This is not easy to reproduce but it was easy to do so through the regulatory simulator I have been working on. This is a port of the fix I implemented there [1].

The change was done to account for queuing up udev change requests through udevadm triggers. The change also meant that upon regulatory core exit we will now send a uevent() but the uevent() callback, reg_device_uevent(), also accessed last_request. Right before commiting device suicide we free'd last_request but never set it to NULL so platform_device_unregister() would lead to bogus kernel paging request. Fix this and also simply supress uevents right before we commit suicide as they are pointless. This fix is required for kernels >= v2.6.39 $ git describe --contains 4d9d88d1 v2.6.39-rc1~468^2~25^2^2~21 The impact of not having this present is that a bogus paging access may occur (only read) upon cfg80211 unload time. You may also get this BUG complaint below.

The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask. Attemping to disable features that are not supported will take no affect, but will not return errors. This is to aid backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask. This patch only enables the infrastructure. An additional patch will enable the feature in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

My gcc, 4.6.1, can actually see that and doesn't warn. Simply initialize the variable to NULL.

As a consequence, a second bss entry is created for the AP, now with the real SSID. - After association, mac80211 executes ieee80211_recalc_ps(), but does not switch to powersave because the beacon-ies are missing. As result, the STA does not ever enter PSM. The patch merges in beacon ies of hidden bss from beacon to the probe response, creating a consistent set of ies in place.
