wifi: mac80211: disable softirqs for queued frame handling

2024-07-25T07:53:41Z

commit 321028bc45f01edb9e57b0ae5c11c5c3600d00ca upstream. As noticed by syzbot, calling ieee80211_handle_queued_frames() (and actually handling frames there) requires softirqs to be disabled, since we call into the RX code. Fix that in the case of cleaning up frames left over during shutdown.

wifi: mac80211: handle tasklet frames before stopping

2024-07-25T07:53:21Z

[ Upstream commit 177c6ae9725d783f9e96f02593ce8fb2639be22f ] The code itself doesn't want to handle frames from the driver if it's already stopped, but if the tasklet was queued before and runs after the stop, then all bets are off. Flush queues before actually stopping, RX should be off at this point since all the interfaces are removed already, etc. Reported-by: syzbot+8830db5d3593b5546d2e@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Link: https://msgid.link/20240515135318.b05f11385c9a.I41c1b33a2e1814c3a7ef352cd7f2951b91785617@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

wifi: mac80211: fix monitor channel with chanctx emulation

2024-06-27T11:52:28Z

commit 0d9c2beed116e623ac30810d382bd67163650f98 upstream. After the channel context emulation, there were reports that changing the monitor channel no longer works. This is because those drivers don't have WANT_MONITOR_VIF, so the setting the channel always exits out quickly. Fix this by always allocating the virtual monitor sdata, and simply not telling the driver about it unless it wanted to. This way, we have an interface/sdata to bind the chanctx to, and the emulation can work correctly.

wifi: mac80211: add ieee80211_vif_link_active() helper

2024-03-04T13:32:53Z

We sometimes need to check if a link is active, and this is complicated by the fact that active_links has no bits set when the vif isn't (acting as) an MLD. Add a small new helper ieee80211_vif_link_active() to make that a bit easier, and use it in a few places.

wifi: mac80211: fix supported rate masking in scan

2024-03-04T13:24:27Z

We have an nl80211 attribute to mask supported rates from probe responses in scanning, e.g. for use in P2P, but in the refactoring I stopped applying this mask. Restore it.

wifi: mac80211: start building elements in SKBs

2024-02-08T14:00:43Z

The building of elements is really mess, and really the only reason we're not doing it in SKBs in the first place is that the scan code in ieee80211_build_preq_ies() doesn't. Convert ieee80211_build_preq_ies() to use an SKB internally so that we can gradually convert other things to ..._put_*() style interfaces.
