mac80211: add stations tied to AP_VLANs during hw reconfig

2018-09-05T07:16:19Z

[ Upstream commit 19103a4bfb42f320395daa5616ece3e89e759d63 ] As part of hw reconfig, only stations linked to AP interfaces are added back to the driver ignoring those which are tied to AP_VLAN interfaces. It is true that there could be stations tied to the AP_VLAN interface while serving 4addr clients or when using AP_VLAN for VLAN operations; we should be adding these stations back to the driver as part of hw reconfig, failing to do so can cause functional issues. In the case of ath10k driver, the following errors were observed. ath10k_pci : failed to install key for non-existent peer XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Workqueue: events_freezable ieee80211_restart_work [mac80211] (unwind_backtrace) from (show_stack+0x10/0x14) (show_stack) (dump_stack+0x80/0xa0) (dump_stack) (warn_slowpath_common+0x68/0x8c) (warn_slowpath_common) (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20) (warn_slowpath_null) (ieee80211_enable_keys+0x88/0x154 [mac80211]) (ieee80211_enable_keys) (ieee80211_reconfig+0xc90/0x19c8 [mac80211]) (ieee80211_reconfig]) (ieee80211_restart_work+0x8c/0xa0 [mac80211]) (ieee80211_restart_work) (process_one_work+0x284/0x488) (process_one_work) (worker_thread+0x228/0x360) (worker_thread) (kthread+0xd8/0xec) (kthread) (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24) Also while bringing down the AP VAP, WARN_ONs and errors related to peer removal were observed. ath10k_pci : failed to clear all peer wep keys for vdev 0: -2 ath10k_pci : failed to disassociate station: 8c:fd:f0:0a:8c:f5 vdev 0: -2 (unwind_backtrace) (show_stack+0x10/0x14) (show_stack) (dump_stack+0x80/0xa0) (dump_stack) (warn_slowpath_common+0x68/0x8c) (warn_slowpath_common) (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20) (warn_slowpath_null) (sta_set_sinfo+0xb98/0xc9c [mac80211]) (sta_set_sinfo [mac80211]) (__sta_info_flush+0xf0/0x134 [mac80211]) (__sta_info_flush [mac80211]) (ieee80211_stop_ap+0xe8/0x390 [mac80211]) (ieee80211_stop_ap [mac80211]) (__cfg80211_stop_ap+0xe0/0x3dc [cfg80211]) (__cfg80211_stop_ap [cfg80211]) (cfg80211_stop_ap+0x30/0x44 [cfg80211]) (cfg80211_stop_ap [cfg80211]) (genl_rcv_msg+0x274/0x30c) (genl_rcv_msg) (netlink_rcv_skb+0x58/0xac) (netlink_rcv_skb) (genl_rcv+0x20/0x34) (genl_rcv) (netlink_unicast+0x11c/0x204) (netlink_unicast) (netlink_sendmsg+0x30c/0x370) (netlink_sendmsg) (sock_sendmsg+0x70/0x84) (sock_sendmsg) (___sys_sendmsg.part.3+0x188/0x228) (___sys_sendmsg.part.3) (__sys_sendmsg+0x4c/0x70) (__sys_sendmsg) (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x44) These issues got fixed by adding the stations which are tied to AP_VLANs back to the driver.

mac80211: count interfaces correctly for combination checks

2015-04-17T00:11:38Z

[ Upstream commit 0f611d28fc2e13cfec64e1c544c16a086886805a ] Since moving the interface combination checks to mac80211, it's broken because it now only considers interfaces with an assigned channel context, so for example any interface that isn't active can still be up, which is clearly an issue; also, in particular P2P-Device wdevs are an issue since they never have a chanctx. Fix this by counting running interfaces instead the ones with a channel context assigned.

mac80211: support DTPC IE (from Cisco Client eXtensions)

2014-09-08T08:52:00Z

Linux already supports 802.11h, where the access point can tell the client to reduce its transmission power. However, 802.11h is only defined for 5 GHz, where the need for this is much smaller than on 2.4 GHz. Cisco has their own solution, called DTPC (Dynamic Transmit Power Control). Cisco APs on a controller sometimes but not always send 802.11h; they always send DTPC, even on 2.4 GHz. This patch adds support for parsing and honoring the DTPC IE in addition to the 802.11h element (they do not always contain the same limits, so both must be honored); the format is not documented, but very simple. Tested (on top of wireless.git and on 3.16.1) against a Cisco Aironet 1142 joined to a Cisco 2504 WLC, by setting various transmit power levels for the given access points and observing the results. The Wireshark 802.11 dissector agrees with the interpretation of the element, except for negative numbers, which seem to never happen anyway. Signed-off-by: Steinar H.

mac80211: make check_combinations() aware of chanctx reservation

2014-06-25T16:06:20Z

The ieee80211_check_combinations() computes radar_detect accordingly depending on chanctx reservation status. This makes it possible to use the function for channel_switch validation. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: implement multi-vif in-place reservations

2014-06-25T16:06:20Z

Multi-vif in-place reservations happen when it is impossible to allocate more channel contexts as indicated by interface combinations. Such reservations are not finalized until all assigned interfaces are ready. This still doesn't handle all possible cases (i.e. degradation of number of channels) properly.

mac80211: support more than one band in scan request

2014-06-25T07:10:42Z

Some drivers (such as iwlmvm) can handle multiple bands in a single HW scan request. Add a HW flag to indicate that the driver support this. To hold the required data, create a separate structure for HW scan request that holds cfg scan request and data about different parts of the scan IEs. As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers using it to use the correct new function type/argument. Signed-off-by: David Spinadel Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
