mac80211: call synchronize_net once in the restart flow

2017-12-11T11:18:56+00:00

Currently the restart flow enables RX back, and then proceeds to tear down RX and TX aggregations. The TX aggregation tear down calls synchronize_net(), which waits for packet receiving to be done. This is done for every session, while RX processing is already active, and in some reproductions it takes up to 3 seconds. Add a call once in the restart_work, before we have traffic active again, and remove the subsequent calls when tearing down the aggregation. This requires to move down the code that turns off the reconfig flag in order to be able to test it in _ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session().

mac80211: simplify and clarify IE splitting

2017-09-21T09:41:58+00:00

There's no need to split off IEs from the ones obtained from userspace, if they were already split off, so for example IEs that went before HT don't have to be listed again to go before VHT. Simplify the code here so it's clearer. While at it, also clarify the comments regarding the DMG (60 GHz) elements. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37+00:00

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()

2017-06-16T15:48:35+00:00

There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find, as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches. The following spatch found many more and also removes the now unnecessary casts: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len; expression skb; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, len); | -memset(p, 0, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb; @@ t *p; ...

mac80211: Fix possible sband related NULL pointer de-reference

2017-04-28T10:28:44+00:00

Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'. Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with 'ieee80211_get_sband' which returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL. An example scenario is as below: In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected) and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid and this results in a crash while the clients connected to the AP vif tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif ieee80211 phy0: channel context reservation cannot be finalized because some interfaces aren't switching wlan0: failed to finalize CSA, disconnecting wlan0-1: deauthenticating from 8c:fd:f0:01:54:9c by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 19032 at net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h:1013 sta_info_alloc+0x374/0x3fc [mac80211] [] (sta_info_alloc [mac80211]) [] (ieee80211_add_station [mac80211])) [] (nl80211_new_station [cfg80211]) Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000014 pgd = d5f4c000 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM PC is at sta_info_alloc+0x380/0x3fc [mac80211] LR is at sta_info_alloc+0x37c/0x3fc [mac80211] [] (sta_info_alloc [mac80211]) [] (ieee80211_add_station [mac80211]) [] (nl80211_new_station [cfg80211])) Cc: Michal Kazior Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
