a66b98db57 mac80211: fix rx->key NULL dereference during mic failure
Sometimes when reporting a MIC failure rx->key may be unset. This
code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast
address, and decryption is performed in HW.

Fortunately, the failing key_idx is not used for anything up to
(and including) usermode, so we allow ourselves to drop it on the
way up when a key cannot be retrieved.

9720bb3ab0 nl80211: use netlink consistent dump feature for BSS dumps
Use the new consistent dump feature from (generic) netlink
to advertise when dumps are incomplete.

Readers may note that this does not initialize the
rdev->bss_generation counter to a non-zero value. This is
still OK since the value is modified only under spinlock
when the list is modified. Since the dump code holds the
spinlock, the value will either be > 0 already, or the
list will still be empty in which case a consistent dump
will actually be made (and be empty).

57a27e1d6a nl80211: fix overflow in ssid_len
When one of the SSID's length passed in a scan or sched_scan request
is larger than 255, there will be an overflow in the u8 that is used
to store the length before checking.  This causes the check to fail
and we overrun the buffer when copying the SSID.

Fix this by checking the nl80211 attribute length before copying it to
the struct.

This is a follow up for the previous commit
208c72f4fe, which didn't fix the problem
entirely.

208c72f4fe nl80211: fix check for valid SSID size in scan operations
In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for
the SSID length before assigning the value correctly.  Since the
memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with
over 32 characters were allowed to go through.

This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the
proper place.

This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4.

the size of the memory block that needs to be allocated for the

7527a782e1 cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).

When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).

Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

807f8a8c30 cfg80211/nl80211: add support for scheduled scans

can scan automatically at certain intervals.

The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on
desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily.

Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN
commands to the nl80211 interface.  When results are available they are
reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events.  The userspace is
informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a
NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by
the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace.

Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an
authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace
and hand them over to the kernel.  From that point the mesh stack would
take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management).

These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange
in userspace.  The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on
successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

0e579d6a8f nl80211: Fix set_key regression with some drivers
Commit dbd2fd656f added a mechanism for
user space to indicate whether a default key is being configured for
only unicast or only multicast frames instead of all frames. This
commit added a driver capability flag for indicating whether separate
default keys are supported and validation of the set_key command based
on that capability.

However, this single capability flag is not enough to cover possible
difference based on mode (AP/IBSS/STA) and the way this change was
introduced resulted in a regression with drivers that do not indicate
the new capability (i.e.., more or less any non-mac80211 driver using
cfg80211) when using a recent wpa_supplicant snapshot.

Fix the regression by removing the new check which is not strictly
speaking needed. The new separate default key functionality is needed
only for RSN IBSS which has a separate capability indication.

efe1cf0c57 net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel
genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before
calling nlmsg_cancel.  nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same
arguments.  nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a
NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial
subtraction.  Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to
genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

cf4e594ea7 nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/Disassoc
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement

between an AP and STA.

This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).

Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for
configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the
anntenna configuration ops be executed.

Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap
of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent
with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the
hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make
much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to
support this, in case the need arises.

The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and
rejected if it does not match.

29cbe68c51 cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.

Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.

We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.

In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.

f9e10ce4cf cfg80211: require add_virtual_intf to return new dev
cfg80211 used to do all its bookkeeping in
the notifier, but some new stuff will have
to use local variables so make the callback
return the netdev pointer.

45904f2165 nl80211/mac80211: define and allow configuring mesh element TTL
The TTL in path selection information elements is different from
the mesh ttl used in mesh data frames.  Version 7.03 of the 11s
draft calls this ttl 'Element TTL'.

f7ca38dfe5 nl80211/cfg80211: extend mgmt-tx API for off-channel
With p2p, it is sometimes necessary to transmit
a frame (typically an action frame) on another
channel than the current channel. Enable this
through the CMD_FRAME API, and allow it to wait
for a response. A new command allows that wait
to be aborted.

However, allow userspace to specify whether or
not it wants to allow off-channel TX, it may
actually want to use the same channel only.

c063dbf52b cfg80211: allow using CQM event to notify packet loss
This adds the ability for drivers to use CQM events
to notify about packet loss for specific stations
(which could be the AP for the managed mode case).
Since the threshold might be determined by the
driver (it isn't passed in right now) it will be
passed out of the driver to userspace in the event.

dd5b4cc71c cfg80211/mac80211: improve ad-hoc multicast rate handling
- store the multicast rate as an index instead of the rate value
  (reduces cpu overhead in a hotpath)
- validate the rate values (must match a bitrate in at least one sband)
