cfg80211/mac80211: fix BSS leaks when abandoning assoc attempts

2017-01-09T07:21:46+00:00

commit e6f462df9acd2a3295e5d34eb29e2823220cf129 upstream. When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it. Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211. This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

mac80211: discard multicast and 4-addr A-MSDUs

2016-11-10T15:38:53+00:00

commit ea720935cf6686f72def9d322298bf7e9bd53377 upstream. In mac80211, multicast A-MSDUs are accepted in many cases that they shouldn't be accepted in: * drop A-MSDUs with a multicast A1 (RA), as required by the spec in 9.11 (802.11-2012 version) * drop A-MSDUs with a 4-addr header, since the fourth address can't actually be useful for them; unless 4-address frame format is actually requested, even though the fourth address is still not useful in this case, but ignored Accepting the first case, in particular, is very problematic since it allows anyone else with possession of a GTK to send unicast frames encapsulated in a multicast A-MSDU, even when the AP has client isolation enabled.

mac80211: reject TSPEC TIDs (TSIDs) for aggregation

2016-09-15T08:08:52+00:00

Since mac80211 doesn't currently support TSIDs 8-15 which can only be used after QoS TSPEC negotiation (and not even after WMM negotiation), reject attempts to set up aggregation sessions for them, which might confuse drivers. In mac80211 we do correctly handle that, but the TSIDs should never get used anyway, and drivers might not be able to handle it. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: check skb_linearize() return value

2016-09-14T10:08:33+00:00

The A-MSDU TX code (within TXQs) didn't always check the return value of skb_linearize() properly, resulting in potentially passing a frag- list SKB down to the driver even when it said it can't handle it. Fix that. Fixes: 6e0456b545456 ("mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: make mpath path fixing more robust

2016-09-12T10:27:14+00:00

A fixed mpath was not quite being treated as such: 1) if a PERR frame was received, a fixed mpath was deactivated. 2) queued path discovery for fixed mpath was potentially being considered, changing mpath state. 3) other mpath flags were potentially being inherited when fixing the mpath. Just assign PATH_FIXED and SN_VALID. This solves several issues when fixing a mesh path in one direction. The reverse direction mpath should probably also be fixed, or root announcements at least be enabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix sequence number assignment for PS response frames

2016-09-12T09:56:49+00:00

When using intermediate queues, sequence number allocation is deferred until dequeue. This doesn't work for PS response frames, which bypass those queues. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix tim recalculation after PS response

2016-09-12T09:54:42+00:00

mac80211: TDLS: don't require beaconing for AP BW

2016-08-30T06:03:41+00:00

Stop downgrading TDLS chandef when reaching the AP BW. The AP provides the necessary regulatory protection in this case. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153961, which reported an infinite loop here. Reported-by: Kamil Toman Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Add ieee80211_hw pointer to get_expected_throughput

2016-08-05T12:23:25+00:00

The variable is added to allow the driver an easy access to it's own hw->priv when the op is invoked. This fixes a crash in wlcore because it was relying on a station pointer that wasn't initialized yet. It's the wrong way to fix the crash, but it solves the problem for now and it does make sense to have the hw pointer here.

mac80211: End the MPSP even if EOSP frame was not acked

2016-08-05T12:06:29+00:00

If QoS frame with EOSP (end of service period) subfield=1 sent by local peer was not acked by remote peer, local peer did not end the MPSP. This prevents local peer from going to DOZE state. And if the remote peer goes away without closing connection, local peer continues AWAKE state and wastes battery. Signed-off-by: Masashi Honma Acked-by: Bob Copeland Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
