The patch 4f366c5:
wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE
removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's
country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a
regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory
domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included
checking that we already had performed an intersection for the
request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type.
This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases
where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing
this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country
IE country hint with the data received from CRDA.
This patch has fixes intended for kernels >= 2.6.36.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

When multiple interfaces are actively trying
to associate with the same BSS, they may both
find that the BSS isn't there and then try to
unlink it. This can cause errors since the
unlinking code can't currently deal with items
that have already been unlinked.
Normally this doesn't happen as most people
don't try to use multiple station interfaces
that associate at the same time too.
Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to
see if the item is still on a list.

The default llseek operation is changing from
default_llseek to no_llseek, so all code relying on
the current behaviour needs to make that explicit.
The wireless driver infrastructure and some of the drivers
make use of generated debugfs files, so they cannot
be converted by our script that automatically determines
the right operation.
All these files use debugfs and they typically rely
on simple_read_from_buffer, so the best llseek operation
here is generic_file_llseek.

Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

device_add() is called before adding the phy to the cfg80211 device

So if a userspace program uses sysfs uevents to detect new phy
devices, and queries nl80211 to get phy info, it can get ENODEV even
though the phy exists in sysfs.
An easy workaround is to hold the cfg80211 mutex until the phy is

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.
In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.
The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).
Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.
mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.
One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.
Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):
* different HT/no-HT modes
currently you could start an HT AP and then
connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
which would configure the hardware for no HT;
that can be fixed fairly easily
* CSA
An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
might indicate switching channels, and in that
case we would follow it, regardless of how many
other interfaces are operating; this requires
more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

In a scenario, where a cfg80211 driver (station mode) does not send assoc request
and assoc response IEs in cfg80211_connect_result after a successful association
to an AP, cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE to the user space
application with NULL data. This can cause an issue at the event recipient.
An example of this is when cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE
events with NULL event body to wpa_supplicant. The wpa_supplicant overwrites
the assoc request and assoc response IEs for this station with NULL data.
If the association is WPA/WPA2, the wpa_supplicant is not able to generate
EAPOL handshake messages, since the IEs are NULL.
With the patch, req_ie and resp_ie will be NULL by avoiding the
assignment if the driver has not sent the IEs to cfg80211. The event sending
code sends the events only if resp_ie and req_ie are not NULL. This
will ensure that the events are not sent with NULL event body.

cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association
commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements,
user space applications may need to clear authentication or
association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with
deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to
allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other
deauth/disassoc operations being completed.
Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in
the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange
in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an
authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without
sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication
command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to
indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This
enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the

events.
Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive
pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start
preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost.
An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in
an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it
before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.
The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended
to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that

The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:
Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.
Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

This implements a new command to register for action frames

rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.
Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.
Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public

sent to the global workqueue but we force processing of it by
flushing the global workqueue. The flushing was done since
cfg80211 needs last_request to always be populated.
Avoid flushing the global workqueue by processing the work
required immediately instead of putting it into a linked
list and processing it after the flush.

According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:
1. It is QoS data frame.
2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.
The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,

If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.
If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".
To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.

different channel from the destination AP. Fix this by passing the

In practice APs do not send country IE channel triplets for channels
the AP is not operating on and if they were to do so they would have
to use the regulatory extension which we currently do not process.
No AP has been seen in practice that does this though so just drop
those country IEs.
Additionally it has been noted the first series of country IE
channels triplets are specific to the band the AP sends. Propagate
the band on which the country IE was found on reject the country
IE then if the triplets are ever oustide of the band.
Although we now won't process country IE information with multiple
band information we leave the intersection work as is as it is
technically possible for someone to want to eventually process these
type of country IEs with regulatory extensions.

This however does fix processing some Country IEs with multiple

all channels be monitonically increasing we would drop the IE after
noticing the second triplet begins on a channel already processed.

This enhances the way we parse country IEs to minimize
the number of regulatory rules that we create. It also fixes
our current implementation which treated country IE triplets
with only one channel as one independed regulatory rule even
though adjecent rules were also being provided.
Without this patch APs which send country IE information with
a channel triplet for each individual channel will force cfg80211
to deny HT40 operation as a regulatory rule would have been created
independently for each channel and as such configured only for
20 MHz operation.
Although 802.11n APs which send country IEs triplets in this fassion
are likely rare Benoit reports this against the Ubiquity NanoStation M5,
with Country "FR" and HT40 enabled.
Since we now have a helper which parses the triplets in intermediate

Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in
separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through
nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from
Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the
BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have
overridden the IEs from Beacon frames.
This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include
the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However,
there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could
be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would
be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least
some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include
the full IE only in Beacon frames).
The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE
sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the
previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the
new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask

itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting

Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained

It is not clear to me how the first "direct probe" here
happens, but this seems to be a race condition, if the
user requests to deauth after requesting assoc, but before
the assoc response is received. In that case, it may
happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to
cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held
because the user is requesting the deauth.
The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly
harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent
to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although
userspace was no longer expecting that.
To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the
race happened and in that case abort processing.

cfg80211: remove warning in deauth case
we assumed that drivers never give us spurious deauth
frames because they filter them out based on the auth
state they keep track of. This turned out to be racy,
because userspace might deauth while the AP is also
sending a deauth frame, so the warning was removed.
However, in that case we should not tell userspace
about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first",
where "first" means it came to cfg80211 first.

A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
* transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
* receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
the case of managed mode
* the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
network segment
In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.
Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the

In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
destination MAC addresses.
With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
only 4-address frames for data traffic.
On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
in 4-address mode.
Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
addresses on any side.

Currently it is possible to request a scan on only
disabled channels, which could be problematic for
some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore
disabled channels that are given. This resuls in
the scan begin/end event only including channels
that are actually used.
This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels
superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS
check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should
not find any networks on channels that cannot be
used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.

cfg80211: sme: deauthenticate on assoc failure
introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference that
some people have been hitting for some reason -- the
params.bssid pointer is not guaranteed to be non-NULL
for what seems to be a race between various ways of
reaching the same thing.
While I'm trying to analyse the problem more let's
first fix the crash. I think the real fix may be to
avoid doing _anything_ if it ended up being NULL, but
right now I'm not sure yet.
I think

We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
by using debugfs_remove_recursive().
First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).
Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
still need to be handled but can now be removed without
needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.

After this, drivers need to

- select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support
- select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support
except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs
registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the
handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is
too late.
Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.
To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.
A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.
So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.
And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after

it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a

If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then
take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device
the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request.
That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour
is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev
refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve
robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn
about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just
clean up silently because it's likely that the driver
also has some internal state it has now leaked.
Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the
scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock.
Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and
not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting

With the move of everything related to the SME from

shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do
so with the nl80211 interface).
I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so
it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211
connect primitive. I think that should be done with
the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see

Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory
enforcement and connection stability, in that it is
possible to switch the channel while connected to a
network or joined to an IBSS.
The problem comes from the fact that we only validate
the channel against the current interface's type, not
against any other interface. Thus, you have any type
of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode
interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This
will obviously also switch the channel on the other
interface.
The problem now is that if you do that while sending
beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled
channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing.
Combined with a managed mode interface connected to
an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily
break the connection that way.
To fix this, this patch validates any channel change
with all available interfaces, and disallows such
changes on secondary interfaces if another interface
is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.
