Revert "mac80211: warn when receiving frames with unaligned data"

2008-01-24T21:35:10Z

This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really relevant to wireless driver developers. The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but at least we won't unnecessarily worry users. Acked-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mac80211: warn when receiving frames with unaligned data

2007-12-27T03:36:32Z

This patch makes mac80211 warn (once) when the driver passes up a frame in which the payload data is not aligned on a four-byte boundary, with a long comment for people who run into the condition and need to know what to do. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: drop unencrypted frames if encryption is expected

2007-11-29T23:08:48Z

This patch fixes a regression I (most likely) introduced, namely that unencrypted frames are right now accepted even if we have a key for that specific sender. That has very bad security implications. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: make "decrypt failed" messages conditional upon MAC80211_DEBUG

2007-11-11T06:01:34Z

Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG. They have been useful for finding certain problems in the past, but in many cases they just clutter a user's logs. A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a single BSSID but with different protection schemes or different keys for each SSID. In such an environment these messages are just noise. Let's just leave them for those interested enough to turn-on debugging. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] mac80211: Defer setting of RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED.

2007-10-10T23:55:23Z

The decryption handlers will skip the frame if the RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED flag is set, so the early flag setting introduced by Johannes breaks decryption. To work around this, call the handlers first and then set the flag. Signed-off-by: Mattias Nissler Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[MAC80211]: remove ALG_NONE

2007-10-10T23:54:18Z

This "algorithm" is used only internally and is not useful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Michael Buesch Acked-by: Zhu Yi Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: use RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED for sw decrypted as well

2007-10-10T23:54:17Z

This makes mac80211 set the RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED flag for frames decrypted in software allowing us to handle some things more uniformly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[MAC80211]: consolidate decryption more

2007-10-10T23:54:16Z

Currently, we have three RX handlers doing the decryption. This patch changes it to have only one handler doing everything, thereby getting rid of many duplicate checks.

[MAC80211]: move sta_process rx handler later

2007-10-10T23:54:16Z

This moves the sta_process RX handler to after decryption so that frames that cannot be decrypted don't influence statistics, it is likely that they were injected or something else is totally wrong. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
