* cfg80211: fix looping soft lockup in find_ie()Bob Copeland2009-09-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_ie() function uses a size_t for the len parameter, and directly uses len as a loop variable. If any received packets are malformed, it is possible for the decrease of len to overflow, and since the result is unsigned, the loop will not terminate. Change it to a signed int so the loop conditional works for negative values. This fixes the following soft lockup: [38573.102007] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

* cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type changeJohannes Berg2009-08-285-81/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

* cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurableJohannes Berg2009-08-284-4/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

* cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bugJohannes Berg2009-08-283-5/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after the driver. However, it currently does this too early, it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a scan request is still pending and exit if not.

* cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checkingJohannes Berg2009-08-202-13/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it was supposed to fix, the scan request checking. But it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since the original patch had a deadlock. Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But that has some more complications, like needing to wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

Also, it is currently not possible to get a ROAMED event from the userspace SME anyway since we send out a DISCONNECTED event when it disassociates and then a new CONNECTED event on the next association.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify the scan has been done. This bug was introduced by my patch "cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests". To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it by removing the module/device. Additionally, add comments about the deadlock scenario.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes drivers might have a good reason to override the PS default, like iwlwifi right now where it affects RX performance significantly at this point. This will allow them to override the default, if desired, in a way that users can still change it according to their trade-off choices, not the driver's, like would happen if the driver just disabled PS completely then.

* cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requestsJohannes Berg2009-08-143-11/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame format to use 3-address.

This adds them back, but only for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips.

* cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfacesJohannes Berg2009-08-149-131/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory enforcement and connection stability, in that it is possible to switch the channel while connected to a network or joined to an IBSS. The problem comes from the fact that we only validate the channel against the current interface's type, not against any other interface. Thus, you have any type of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This will obviously also switch the channel on the other interface. The problem now is that if you do that while sending beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing. Combined with a managed mode interface connected to an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily break the connection that way. To fix this, this patch validates any channel change with all available interfaces, and disallows such changes on secondary interfaces if another interface is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6: "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint" We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable. By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did support such enhancements when world roaming. Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them. We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed world wide. This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP, and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared upon wiphy registration. I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* | cfg80211: clear SSID on disconnect/no connectionJohannes Berg2009-08-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SME state machine in cfg80211 uses the SSID stored in struct wireless_dev internally, but fails to clear it in multiple places (when giving up on a connection attempt and when disconnecting). This doesn't matter to the SME state machine, but does matter for IBSS. Thus, in those cases, clear the SSID to avoid messing up the IBSS state machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default of 500ms is pretty high, and leads to the device being awake at least 50% of the time under such light traffic conditions as a simple 1 second interval ping. Reduce to just 100ms -- it should have a similar effect while providing a better sleep time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the bss is always set now once we are connected, if the bss has its own information element we refer to it and pass that instead of relying on mac80211's parsing. Now all cfg80211 drivers get country IE support, automatically and we reduce the call overhead that we had on mac80211 which called this upon every beacon and instead now call this only upon a successfull connection by a STA on cfg80211.

By doing this we will be able to work on regulatory core components without having to have hog up the cfg80211_mutex. An example here is we no longer need to use the cfg80211_mutex during driver specific wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify the country IE hint code by just bailing out if a previous country IE has been issued. We currently just trust the first AP we connect to on any card. The idea was to perform conflict resolution within this routine but since we can no longer iterate over the registered device list here we leave conflict resolution to be dealt with at a later time on the workqueue. This code has no functional changes other than saving us an interation over the registered device list when a second card is connected, or you unplug and connect the same one, and a country IE is received.
