2009-08-03cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming featureLuis R. Rodriguez
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.

2009-06-10cfg80211: fix rfkill locking problemJohannes Berg
rfkill currently requires a global lock within the rfkill_register() function, and holds that lock over calls to the set_block() methods. This means that we cannot hold a lock around rfkill_register() that we also require in set_block(), directly or indirectly. Fix cfg80211 to register rfkill outside the block locked by its global lock. Much of what cfg80211 does in the locked block doesn't need to be locked anyway.

2009-06-03cfg80211: fix for duplicate userspace repliesLuis R. Rodriguez
This fixes an incorrect assumption (BUG_ON) made in cfg80211 when handling country IE regulatory requests. The assumption was that we won't try to call_crda() twice for the same event and therefore we will not recieve two replies through nl80211 for the regulatory request. As it turns out it is true we don't call_crda() twice for the same event, however, kobject_uevent_env() *might* send the udev event twice and/or userspace can simply process the udev event twice. We remove the BUG_ON() and simply ignore the duplicate request.

2009-05-20cfg80211: allow wext to remove keys that don't existJohannes Berg
Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems. The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the key doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-20cfg80211: check allowed channel type upon userspace requestsLuis R. Rodriguez
Thanks to nl80211 userspace can be very specific upon device configuration. Before processing the request for the new HT40 channel types (HT40- or HT40+) we need to ensure we can use them regulatory-wise. This wasn't required with wireless extensions as specifying the channel type wasn't not available and configuration was done towards the end implicitly upon association or reception of beacons from the AP. For the new nl80211 we have to check this when configuring the interfaces explicitly. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-20cfg80211: Process regulatory max bandwidth checks for HT40Luis R. Rodriguez
We are not correctly listening to the regulatory max bandwidth settings. To actually make use of it we need to redesign things a bit. This patch does the work for that. We do this to so we can obey to regulatory rules accordingly for use of HT40. We end up dealing with HT40 by having two passes for each channel. The first check will see if a 20 MHz channel fits into the channel's center freq on a given frequency range. We check for a 20 MHz banwidth channel as that is the maximum an individual channel will use, at least for now. The first pass will go ahead and check if the regulatory rule for that given center of frequency allows 40 MHz bandwidths and we use this to determine whether or not the channel supports HT40 or not. So to support HT40 you'll need at a regulatory rule that allows you to use 40 MHz channels but you're channel must also be enabled and support 20 MHz by itself. The second pass is done after we do the regulatory checks over an device's supported channel list. On each channel we'll check if the control channel and the extension both: o exist o are enabled o regulatory allows 40 MHz bandwidth on its frequency range This work allows allows us to idependently check for HT40- and HT40+.

Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211 driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have hit a null pointer dereference panic.

2009-05-20wext: verify buffer size for SIOCSIWENCODEEXTJohannes Berg
Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it just being the length of the extra buffer - size of the struct and using the explicit key length only for the get operation (which only writes it). Therefore, we have this layout: extra: +-------------------------+ | struct iw_encode_ext { | | ... | | u16 key_len; | | u8 key[0]; | | }; | +-------------------------+ | key material | +-------------------------+ Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer, depending on the driver it may be possible to specify arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length for the key algorithm specified. Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer). Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer along with struct iw_encode_ext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-19net: use NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE in nlmsg_new() allocationsPablo Neira Ayuso
nlmsg_new() adds the size of the netlink header to the value that has been passed as parameter. If NLMSG_GOODSIZE is selected, we request an allocation of one memory page plus the size of the header. Instead, NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE should be used since it already substracts the size of the Netlink header. I have the impression that the similar naming in both constant is error prone when using it with nlmsg_new().

2009-05-13wext: remove seq_start/stop sparse annotationsJohannes Berg
Even though they are true, they cause sparse to complain because it doesn't see the __acquires(dev_base_lock) on dev_seq_start() because it is only added to the function in net/core/dev.c, not the header file. To keep track of the nesting correctly we should probably annotate those functions publically, but for now let's just remove the annotation I added to wext.

2009-05-13nl80211: Add RSC configuration for new keysJouni Malinen
When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).

2009-05-13nl80211: Add IEEE 802.1X PAE control for station modeJouni Malinen
Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that we are already doing in AP mode).

2009-05-13cfg80211: implement wext key handlingJohannes Berg
Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext compatibility. Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted" for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets" and "Accept non-encoded packets".

2009-05-11wext: fix get_wireless_stats lockingJohannes Berg
Currently, get_wireless_stats is racy by _design_. This is because it returns a buffer, which needs to be statically allocated since it cannot be freed if it was allocated dynamically. Also, SIOCGIWSTATS and /proc/net/wireless use no common lock, and /proc/net/wireless accesses are not synchronised against each other. This is a design flaw in get_wireless_stats since the beginning. This patch fixes it by wrapping /proc/net/wireless accesses with the RTNL so they are protected against each other and SIOCGIWSTATS. The more correct method of fixing this would be to pass in the buffer instead of returning it and have the caller take care of synchronisation of the buffer, but even then most drivers probably assume that their callback is protected by the RTNL like all other wext callbacks.
