2016-08-05nl80211: correct checks for NL80211_MESHCONF_HT_OPMODE valueMasashi Honma
Previously, NL80211_MESHCONF_HT_OPMODE validation rejected correct flag combinations, e.g. IEEE80211_HT_OP_MODE_PROTECTION_NONHT_MIXED | IEEE80211_HT_OP_MODE_NON_HT_STA_PRSNT. Doing just a range-check allows setting flags that don't exist (0x8) and invalid flag combinations. Implements some checks based on IEEE 802.11 2012 8.4.2.59 "HT Operation element".

2016-07-06nl80211: support beacon report scanningAvraham Stern
Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

When building a kernel with W=1, the nl80211.c file causes a number of warnings, all about the same problem: net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function 'nl80211_parse_mesh_config': net/wireless/nl80211.c:5287:103: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] net/wireless/nl80211.c:5290:96: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] net/wireless/nl80211.c:5293:124: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] net/wireless/nl80211.c:5295:148: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] net/wireless/nl80211.c:5298:106: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] net/wireless/nl80211.c:5305:116: error: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits] The problem is that gcc does not notice that the check is generate by a macro, so it complains about comparing an unsigned type against 0. I've tried to come up with a way to rephrase that code in a way that avoids the warnings and otherwise improves the code as well. This uses a set of new helper functions that perform the range checking, and should provide slightly better type safety than the older patch, at the expense of adding 44 lines to the code.

2016-05-31cfg80211: Allow cfg80211_connect_result() errors to be distinguishedJouni Malinen
Previously, the status parameter to cfg80211_connect_result() was documented as using WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE (1) when the real status code for the failure is not known. This value can be used by an AP (and often is) and as such, user space cannot distinguish between explicitly rejected authentication/association and not being able to even try to associate or not receiving a response from the AP. Add a new inline function, cfg80211_connect_timeout(), to be used when the driver knows that the connection attempt failed due to a reason where connection could not be attempt or no response was received from the AP. The internal functions now allow a negative status value (-1) to be used as an indication of this special case. This results in the NL80211_ATTR_TIMED_OUT to be added to the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT event to allow user space to determine this case was hit. For backwards compatibility, NL80211_STATUS_CODE with the value WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE is still indicated in the event in such a case.

2016-05-31nl80211: Allow privileged operations from user namespacesMartin Willi
While a wiphy can be transferred to network namespaces, a process having CAP_NET_ADMIN in a non-initial user namespace can not administrate such devices due to the genetlink GENL_ADMIN_PERM restrictions. For openvswitch having the same issue, a new GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag has been introduced, commit 4a92602aa1cd ("openvswitch: allow management from inside user namespaces"). This patch changes all privileged operations operating on a wiphy, dev or wdev to allow their administration using the same mechanism. All operations use either NEED_WIPHY, NEED_WDEV or NEED_NETDEV, which implies a namespace aware lookup of the device. The only exception is NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY, which explicitly uses a namespace aware phy lookup.

2016-04-12nl80211: check netlink protocol in socket release notificationDmitry Ivanov
A non-privileged user can create a netlink socket with the same port_id as used by an existing open nl80211 netlink socket (e.g. as used by a hostapd process) with a different protocol number. Closing this socket will then lead to the notification going to nl80211's socket release notification handler, and possibly cause an action such as removing a virtual interface. Fix this issue by checking that the netlink protocol is NETLINK_GENERIC. Since generic netlink has no notifier chain of its own, we can't fix the problem more generically.

2016-04-05cfg80211: Allow a scan request for a specific BSSIDJouni Malinen
This allows scans for a specific BSSID to be optimized by the user space application by requesting the driver to set the Probe Request frame BSSID field (Address 3) to the specified BSSID instead of the wildcard BSSID. This prevents other APs from replying which reduces airtime need and latency in getting the response from the target AP through. This is an optimization and as such, it is acceptable for some of the drivers not to support the mechanism. If not supported, the wildcard BSSID will be used and more responses may be received.

2016-02-24cfg80211: Add global RRM capabilityBeni Lev
Today, the supplicant will add the RRM capabilities Information Element in the association request only if Quiet period is supported (NL80211_FEATURE_QUIET). Quiet is one of many RRM features, and there are other RRM features that are not related to Quiet (e.g. neighbor report). Therefore, requiring Quiet to enable RRM is too restrictive. Some of the features, like neighbor report, can be supported by user space without any help from the kernel. Hence adding the RRM capabilities IE to association request should be the sole user space's decision. Removing the RRM dependency on Quiet in the driver solves this problem, but using an old driver with a user space tool that would not require Quiet feature would be problematic: the user space would add NL80211_ATTR_USE_RRM in the association request even if the kernel doesn't advertize NL80211_FEATURE_QUIET and the association would be denied by the kernel. This solution adds a global RRM capability, that tells user space that it can request RRM capabilities IE publishment without any specific feature support in the kernel.

2015-12-04cfg80211: handle add_station auth/assoc flag quirksJohannes Berg
When a new station is added to AP/GO interfaces the default behaviour is for it to be added authenticated and associated, due to backwards compatibility. To prevent that, the driver must be able to do that (setting the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE feature flag) and userspace must set the flag mask to auth|assoc and clear the set. Handle this quirk in the API entirely in nl80211, and always push the full flags to the drivers. NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE is still required for userspace to be allowed to set the mask including those bits, but after checking that add both flags to the mask and set in case userspace didn't set them otherwise.

Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan. Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus defines only the interval between scans. The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately. When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however. The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results, and there is no difference between flushing all results received until the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one, since no results will be received in between.

2015-07-17cfg80211: use RTNL locked reg_can_beacon for IR-relaxationArik Nemtsov
The RTNL is required to check for IR-relaxation conditions that allow more channels to beacon. Export an RTNL locked version of reg_can_beacon and use it where possible in AP/STA interface type flows, where IR-relaxation may be applicable.

2015-05-06cfg80211: change GO_CONCURRENT to IR_CONCURRENT for STAArik Nemtsov
The GO_CONCURRENT regulatory definition can be extended to station interfaces requesting to IR as part of TDLS off-channel operations. Rename the GO_CONCURRENT flag to IR_CONCURRENT and allow the added use-case. Change internal users of GO_CONCURRENT to use the new definition.

2015-04-24cfg80211: allow the plink state blocking for user managed meshChun-Yeow Yeoh
wpa_supplicant or authsae handles the mesh peering in user space, but the plink state is still managed in kernel space. Currently, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or authsae to block the plink state after it is set to ESTAB. By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set <MAC address> plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA. This is useful for experimenting purposes.

2015-04-01cfg80211: Stop calling crda if it is not responsiveIlan peer
Patch eeca9fce1d71a4955855ceb0c3b13c1eb9db27c1 (cfg80211: Schedule timeout for all CRDA call) introduced a regression, where in case that crda is not installed (or not configured properly etc.), the regulatory core will needlessly continue to call it, polluting the log with the following log: "cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain" Fix this by limiting the number of continuous CRDA request failures.
