Johannes Berg says:
====================
We have a fair number of patches, but many of them are from the
first bullet here:
* EAPoL-over-nl80211 from Denis - this will let us fix
some long-standing issues with bridging, races with
encryption and more
* DFS offload support from the qtnfmac folks
* regulatory database changes for the new ETSI adaptivity
requirements
* various other fixes and small enhancements

Apparently, some APs are buggy enough to send a zeroed
WMM IE. Don't WARN on this since this is not caused by a bug
on the client's system.
This aligns the condition of the WARNING in drv_conf_tx
with the validity check in ieee80211_sta_wmm_params.
We will now pick the default values whenever we get
a zeroed WMM IE.
This has been reported here:

If userspace requested control port frames to go over 80211, then do so.
The control packets are intercepted just prior to delivery of the packet
to the underlying network device.
Pre-authentication type frames (protocol: 0x88c7) are also forwarded
over nl80211.

ETSI has recently added new requirements that restrict the WMM
parameter values for 5GHz frequencies. We need to take care of the
following scenarios in order to comply with these new requirements:
1. When using mac80211 default values;
2. When the userspace tries to configure its own values;
3. When associating to an AP which advertises WWM IE.
When associating to an AP, the client uses the values in the
advertised WMM IE. But the AP may not comply with the new ETSI
requirements, so the client needs to check the current regulatory
rules and use those limits accordingly.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

Commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing") added an
argument qos_ok to ieee80211_nullfunc_get to support QoS NDP. Despite
the claim in the commit log "Change all the drivers to *not* allow
QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK
with that", this commit enables QoS NDP in response to beacons (see
change to mlme.c:ieee80211_send_nullfunc), causing ath9k_htc to lose
IP connectivity. See:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10241109/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891060
Introduce a hardware flag to allow such buggy drivers to override the
correct default behaviour of mac80211 of sending QoS NDP packets.

In multi channel scenarios, when disassociating from the AP before a
beacon was heard from the AP, it is not guaranteed that the virtual
interface is granted air time for the transmission of the
deauthentication frame. This in turn can lead to various issues as
the AP might never get the deauthentication frame.
To mitigate such possible issues, add a HW flag indicating that the
driver requires mac80211 to call the mgd_prep_tx() driver callback
to make sure that the virtual interface is granted immediate airtime
to be able to transmit the frame, in case that no beacon was heard
from the AP.

While the change between 802.11-2012 and 802.11-2016 to move from
requiring APs to set the two top bits to now requiring them to be
cleared was apparently unintentional and will be fixed, clients
should either way assume that the top five bits are reserved and
ignore them.

The code here (more or less accidentally) tracks the HT capability of
the AP when connected, and we found at least one AP that erroneously
toggles its 20/40 capability bit when changing between 20/40 MHz. The
connection to the AP is then broken because we set the 40 MHz disable
flag based on this, as soon as it switches to 20 MHz, but because the
flag then changed, we disconnect.
I'd be inclined to just ignore this issue, since we then reconnect
while the AP is in 20 MHz mode and never use 40 MHz with it again,
but this code is a bit strange anyway - we don't use the capabilities
for anything else.
Change the code to simply not track the HT capabilities at all, which
assumes that the AP at least sets 20/40 capability when operating in
40 MHz (or higher). If not, rate scaling might end up using only the
narrower bandwidth.
The new behaviour also mirrors what VHT does, where we only check the
VHT operation.

There's no need to split off IEs from the ones obtained
from userspace, if they were already split off, so for
example IEs that went before HT don't have to be listed
again to go before VHT. Simplify the code here so it's
clearer.
While at it, also clarify the comments regarding the DMG

When mac80211 changes the channel, it also calls into the driver's
bss_info_changed() callback, e.g. with BSS_CHANGED_IDLE. The driver
may, like iwlwifi does, access more data from bss_info in that case
and iwlwifi accesses the basic_rates bitmap, but if changing from a
band with more (basic) rates to one with fewer, an out-of-bounds
access of the rate array may result.
While we can't avoid having invalid data at some point in time, we
can avoid having it while we call the driver - so set up all the
data before configuring the channel, and then apply it afterwards.
This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195677

Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even
if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets
which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'.
Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when
channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing
the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with 'ieee80211_get_sband' which
returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL.
An example scenario is as below:
In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a
channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected)
and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel
switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the
other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid
and this results in a crash while the clients connected to the AP vif
tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated
by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does
happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of
testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif

If the user rate mask results in no (basic) rates being usable,
clear it. Also, if we're already operating when it's set, reject
it instead.
Technically, selecting basic rates as the criterion is a bit too
restrictive, but calculating the usable rates over all stations
(e.g. in AP mode) is harder, and all stations must support the
basic rates. Similarly, in client mode, the basic rates will be
used anyway for control frames.
This fixes the "no supported rates (...) in rate_mask ..." warning
that occurs on TX when you've selected a rate mask that's not
compatible with the connection (e.g. an AP that enables only the
rates 36, 48, 54 and you've selected only 6, 9, 12.)

Update the drivers to pass the RSSI level as a cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify
parameter and pass this value to userspace in a new nl80211 attribute.
This helps both userspace and also helps in the implementation of the
multiple RSSI thresholds CQM mechanism.
Note for marvell/mwifiex I pass 0 for the RSSI value because the new
RSSI value is not available to the driver at the time of the
cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify call, but the driver queries the new value
immediately after that, so it is actually available just a moment later
if we wanted to defer caling cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify until that moment.
Without this, the new cfg80211 code (patch 3) will call .get_station
which will send a duplicate HostCmd_CMD_RSSI_INFO command to the hardware.

When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free
all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace
about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in
which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was
used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it.
Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with
the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and
use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211.
This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and
tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and
it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few
assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the
amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions
on the driver are the following:
* hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation)
* hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption)
* hardware/driver did de-duplication
* hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation
* AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode)
* no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode)
of which some are actually checked per packet:
* de-duplication
* PN checking
* decryption
and additionally packets must
* not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device)
* be data packets
* not be fragmented
* be unicast
* have RFC 1042 header
Additionally dynamically we assume:
* no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed
* station must be authorized
* 4-addr format not enabled
Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station
"fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and
the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast
RX path.
After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses
down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of
the data cached in the small fast_rx struct.
This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier
to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need
to be per-CPU still.)

In the likely case that probe_count is 0, don't write to the
memory there.
Also use ifmgd consistently in the function, instead of using
sdata->u.mgd as well.

Johannes Berg says:
====================
Here's another round of updates for -next:
* big A-MSDU RX performance improvement (avoid linearize of paged RX)
* rfkill changes: cleanups, documentation, platform properties
* basic PBSS support in cfg80211
* MU-MIMO action frame processing support
* BlockAck reordering & duplicate detection offload support
* various cleanups & little fixes

Drivers may need to track which vif is using VHT MU-MIMO.
Move the flag indicationg the ownership of MU_MIMO to
ieee80211_vif.

Make sure there's at least a debug message whenever the
connection to the AP is terminated.
Also change one message from wiphy_debug() to the common
mlme_dbg().

The station MLME and IBSS/mesh ones use entirely different
code for interpreting HT and VHT operation elements. Change
the code that interprets them a bit - it now modifies an
existing chandef - and use it also in the MLME code.

During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs.
However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC
and MESH iftypes.
This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not
processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result
in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.
