Bob reported a lockdep complaint originating in
the mac80211 IBSS code due to the common work
struct patch. The reason is that the IBSS and
station mode code have different locking orders
for the cfg80211 wdev lock and the work struct
(where "locking" implies running/canceling).
Fix this by simply not canceling the work in
the IBSS code, it is not necessary since when
the REQ_RUN bit is cleared, the work will run
without effect if it runs. When the interface
is set down, it is flushed anyway, so there's
no concern about it running after memory has
been invalidated either.
This fixes
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16419
Additionally, looking into this I noticed that
there's a small window while the IBSS is torn
down in which the work may be rescheduled and
the REQ_RUN bit be set again after leave() has
cleared it when a scan finishes at exactly the
same time. Avoid that by setting the ssid_len
to zero before clearing REQ_RUN which signals
to the scan finish code that this interface is
not active.

mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS
mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular
iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not.
However, this is only relevant for station mode,
since only then will any device send nullfunc
frames and need to know whether they should be
QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are
(currently) no frames the device is supposed to
send.
When you now consider virtual interfaces, it
becomes apparent that the current mechanism is
inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a
global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has
to be on a per-interface scale.
Due to the above considerations, we can change
the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to
drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in
station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP
fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.
In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this
patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be

This mechanism introduced in this patch applies (at least) for hardware
designs using a single shared antenna for both WLAN and BT. In these designs,
the antenna must be toggled between WLAN and BT.
In those hardware, managing WLAN co-existence with Bluetooth requires WLAN
full power save whenever there is Bluetooth activity in order for WLAN to be
able to periodically relinquish the antenna to be used for BT. This is because
BT can only access the shared antenna when WLAN is idle or asleep.
Some hardware, for instance the wl1271, are able to indicate to the host
whenever there is BT traffic. In essence, the hardware will send an indication
to the host whenever there is, for example, SCO traffic or A2DP traffic, and
will send another indication when the traffic is over.
The hardware gets information of Bluetooth traffic via hardware co-existence
control lines - these lines are used to negotiate the shared antenna
ownership. The hardware will give the antenna to BT whenever WLAN is sleeping.
This patch adds the interface to mac80211 to facilitate temporarily disabling
of dynamic power save as per request of the WLAN driver. This interface will
immediately force WLAN to full powersave, hence allowing BT coexistence as
described above.
In these kind of shared antenna desings, when WLAN powersave is fully disabled,
Bluetooth will not work simultaneously with WLAN at all. This patch does not
address that problem. This interface will not change PSM state, so if PSM is
disabled it will remain so. Solving this problem requires knowledge about BT
state, and is best done in user-space.

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values
to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these
values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless
(for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.)
This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency
values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For
backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps
timeout of 100ms.
Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured
dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct.

To make traces containing such information

Currently we allocate some memory for each TX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
state bitmap indicating the state it is in.
By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving
the state into the structure and some locking
trickery we can avoid locking when the TX agg
session is fully operational.

Currently we allocate some memory for each RX
aggregation session and additionally keep a
flag indicating whether or not it is valid.
By using RCU to protect the pointer and making
sure that the memory is fully set up before it
becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove
the need for the bool that indicates validity,
as well as for locking on the RX path since it
is always synchronised against itself, and we
can guarantee that all other modifications are
done when the structure is not visible to the
RX path.
The net result is that since we remove locking
requirements from the RX path, we can in the
future use any kind of lock for the setup and
teardown code paths.

This moves the aggregation callback processing
to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function
rather than the tasklet.
Unfortunately, this means that it extends the
pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it
will enable making ampdu_action API changes
gradually, my current plan is to get rid of
this again by forcing drivers to only return
from ampdu_action() when everything is done,
thus removing the callbacks completely.

There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented
frame during a blockack session, in which case we
will terminate that session. To simplify future work
in this area that will culminate in allowing the
driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the
processing of this case out of the RX path into the
interface work.
This will simplify future work because the new place
for this code doesn't require that the function will
always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
the station list, even though they do not need
to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.
While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.
Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.
Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the
current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.
This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.

There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the
managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the
interface. Currently this causes a kernel BUG like the following:

[ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true,
the mutex should be valid. Fix by adding a netif_running() check to the
function.

Processing an association response could take a bit
of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
we can end up processing the blockack request before
the association processing has finished. Since the
blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
cannot make it wait in the driver.
As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
setup completed.
I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
queuing all blockack category action frames from a
work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
code and make things easier.
However, this is a very involved and complex change.
To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
from the managed interface skb queue, which means
their processing will be serialized with processing
the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

Some hardware allow extended filtering of ARP frames not intended for
the host. To perform such filtering, the hardware needs to know the current
IP address(es) of the host, bound to its interface.
Add support for ARP filtering to mac80211 by adding a new op to the driver
interface, allowing to configure the current IP addresses. This op is called
upon association with the currently configured address(es), and when
associated whenever the IP address(es) change.
This patch adds configuration of IPv4 addresses only, as IPv6 addresses don't
need ARP filtering.

checking the channel type in addition can get in
the way, since the channel type could change on

useful to have the channel type anyway since it
has no effect on the transmission. Therefore,
make it optional to specify so that if wanted,
