764152ff66 mac80211: exclude AP_VLAN interfaces from tx power calculation
Their power value is initialized to zero. This patch fixes an issue
where the configured power drops to the minimum value when AP_VLAN
interfaces are created/removed.

06d181a8fd mac80211: add NAPI support back
NAPI was originally added to mac80211 a long time ago (by John in
commit 4e6cbfd09c in July 2010), but then removed years later
(by Stanislaw in commit 30c97120c6 in February 2013). No driver
ever used it, so that was fine.

Now I'm adding support for NAPI to our driver, so add some code
to mac80211 again  to support NAPI. John was originally wrapping
some (but not nearly all NAPI-related functions), but that doesn't
scale very well with the number of functions that are there, some
of which are even only inlines. Thus, instead of doing that, let
the drivers manage the NAPI struct, except for napi_add() which is
needed so mac80211 knows how to call napi_gro_receive().

Also remove some no longer needed definitions that were left when
NAPI support was removed.

5251207273 mac80211: add check on hw->max_signal value on ieee80211_register_hw
When IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC is set, mac80211 will perform a
division by max_signal in ieee80211_bss_info_update. If max_signal
is not properly set by the driver (for example it is zero) this
leads to a divide error and crash.
Thanks to Larry Finger, who pointed me to this.
This patch adds in ieee80211_register_hw one more check to detect
this condition and eventually returns -EINVAL, as already done for
other checks already performed there.

18db594a10 mac80211: fix scheduled scan rtnl deadlock
When changing cfg80211 to use RTNL locking, this caused a
deadlock in mac80211 as it calls cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped()
from a work item that's on a workqueue that is flushed with
the RTNL held.

Fix this by simply using schedule_work(), the work only needs
to finish running before the wiphy is unregistered, no other
synchronisation (e.g. with suspend) is really required since
for suspend userspace is already blocked anyway when we flush
the workqueue so will only pick up the event after resume.

1fb9026000 mac80211: move setting WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN into drivers
mac80211 currently sets WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN based on whether
the start_sched_scan operation is supported or not, but that will not
be correct for all drivers, we're adding scheduled scan to the iwlmvm
driver but it depends on firmware support.

Therefore, move setting WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN into the drivers
so that they can control it regardless of implementing the operation.

This currently only affects the TI drivers since they're the only ones
implementing scheduled scan (in a mac80211 driver.)

496322bc91 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
  window.  The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
  this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
  made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
  trickeled in.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
      commit 0a4db187a9 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

      From Eliezer Tamir.

   2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
      Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
      Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

   4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
      Pavel Emelyanov.

   5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
      Rony Efraim.

   6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

   7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
      Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

   8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
      from Cong Wang.

   9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
      Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport.  In particular,
      support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

  10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel
      Borkmann.

  11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
      devices.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
      manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
      From Daniel Borkmann.

  13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
      from Johannes Berg.

  14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
      by using an rbtree.  From Eric Dumazet.

  15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
      Cheng.

  16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
      Horman.

  17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
      pointer that's passed into them.  Use this to properly handle
      network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event().  From Jiri
      Pirko and Timo Teräs.

  18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
      Huewe.

  19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
      O(1) calculation instead.  From Eric Dumazet.

  20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
      like ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

  22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
      during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding.  From
      Willem de Bruijn.

  23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
      burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead.  Also
      from Eric Dumazet.

  25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
      from Vlad Yasevich.

  26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets.  From Lorenzo Colitti.

  27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
      too, from David Majnemer.

  28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
      to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

  29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
      upd_v6_push_pending_frames().  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

For the workqueue creation interfaces that do not expect format strings,
make sure they cannot accidently be parsed that way.  Additionally, clean
up calls made with a single parameter that would be handled as a format
string.  Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so

sta_rx_agg_reorder_timer_expired is invoked and it will
push skbs into the single queue (local->rx_skb_queue).

ieee80211_rx_handlers in the while loop assumes that
the skbs are for the same sdata and sta. This assumption
doesn't hold good in this scenario and the PN gets
corrupted by PN received in other vif's skb, causing
traffic to stop due to PN mismatch."

a65240c101 mac80211: allow drivers to access IPv6 information
To be able to implement NS response offloading (in
regular operation or while in WoWLAN) drivers need
to know the IPv6 addresses assigned to interfaces.
Implement an IPv6 notifier in mac80211 to call the
driver when addresses change.

Unlike for IPv4, implement it as a callback rather
than as a list in the BSS configuration, that is
more flexible.

d582cffbcd nl80211/mac80211: support full station state in AP mode
Today, stations are added already associated. That is
inefficient if, for example, the driver has no room
for stations any more because then the station will
go through the entire auth/assoc handshake, only to
be kicked out afterwards.

To address this a bit better, at least with drivers
using the new station state callback, allow hostapd
to add stations in unauthenticated mode, just after
receiving the AUTH frame, before even replying. Thus
if there's no more space at that point, it can send
a negative auth frame back. It still needs to handle
later state transition errors though, of course.

drop the connection when channel switch is

04b7b2ff50 mac80211: handle power constraint/country IE better
Currently, mac80211 uses the power constraint IE, and reduces
the regulatory max TX power by it. This can cause issues if
the AP is advertising a large power constraint value matching
a high TX power in its country IE, for example in this case:

...
Country: US  Environment: Indoor/Outdoor
    ...
    Channels [157 - 157] @ 30 dBm
    ...
Power constraint: 13 dB
...

What happened here is that our local regulatory TX power is
15 dBm, and gets reduced by 13 dB so we end up with only
2 dBm effective TX power, which is way too low.

Instead, handle the country IE/power constraint IE combined
and restrict our TX power to the max of the regulatory power
and the maximum power advertised by the AP, in this case
17 dBm (= 30 dBm - 13 dB).

Also print a message when this happens to let the user know
and help us debug issues with it.

2eb278e083 mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channel
Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of
the generic off-channel work concept, replacing
it with a simple remain-on-channel list.

This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC
implementation:
 * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued,
   now we can queue it as well, if needed
 * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is
   mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new
   queue to handle that case -- I expect that it
   will later depend on a HW flag

The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug
in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt
TX request while HW roc is active, and this new
request has a wait time, we actually schedule a
software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the
existing offloaded ROC will still be that long.
To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed.

The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet
optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW
extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later
but for now use a software implementation.

Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the
offloaded and software-implemented case as much
as possible.

3a25a8c8b7 mac80211: add improved HW queue control
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.

To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.

Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

b57e6b560f mac80211: Fix a rwlock bad magic bug
read_lock(&tpt_trig->trig.leddev_list_lock) is accessed via the path
ieee80211_open (->) ieee80211_do_open (->) ieee80211_mod_tpt_led_trig
(->) ieee80211_start_tpt_led_trig (->) tpt_trig_timer before initializing
it.
the intilization of this read/write lock happens via the path
ieee80211_led_init (->) led_trigger_register, but we are doing
'ieee80211_led_init'  after 'ieeee80211_if_add' where we
register netdev_ops.
so we access leddev_list_lock before initializing it and causes the
following bug in chrome laptops with AR928X cards with the following
script

sudo modprobe -r ath9k

885bd8eca6 mac80211: support hw scan while idle
Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan.
However, some devices that implement hw scan might not
need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and
thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine.

(Note that this is also the case for sched scan - it
currently doesn't make mac80211 go idle-off)

Add a new flag to indicate support for hw scan while idle.

66e67e4189 mac80211: redesign auth/assoc
This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign,
the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code
out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so
that we don't flip channels all the time etc.

The only downside is that when we are associated,
we need to drop the association in order to create
a connection to another AP, but for most drivers
this is actually desirable and the ability to do
was never used by any applications. If we want to
implement resource reservation with FT-OTA, we'd
probably best do it with explicit R-O-C in wpa_s.

f09603a259 mac80211: add sta_state callback
(based on Eliad's patch)

Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever
the state of a station changes. The driver is only
notified when the station is actually in the mac80211
hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions.

To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls
with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST
state.

This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in
handling it when a station is inserted, particularly
in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry
around for mac80211 purposes.

cd6c524e9e mac80211: Do not request FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC for HW scan.
ieee80211_configure_filter code used local->scanning as a boolean
value when it was a bit mask. Bits SCAN_COMPLETED, SCAN_ABORTED
should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC filter.

SCAN_HW_SCANNING should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC either,
as there is no explicit filter configuration request from
scan code. If a driver requires FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC mode
during HW scanning, it's up to the driver to temporary enable it.

Similar mistake was fixed also in ieee80211_hw_config (power
configuration code).

13c40c5468 mac80211: Add HT operation modes for IBSS
The HT mode is set by iw (previous patchsets).
The interface is set into the specified HT mode.
HT mode and capabilities are announced in beacons.

If we add a station that uses HT also, the fastest matching HT mode will
be used for transmission. That means if we are using HT40+ and we add a station
running on HT40-, we would transfer at HT20.

If we join an IBSS with HT40, but the secondary channel is not
available, we will fall back into HT20 as well.

Allow frame aggregation to start in IBSS mode.

e76aadc572 mac80211: revert on-channel work optimisations
The on-channel work optimisations have caused a
number of issues, and the code is unfortunately
very complex and almost impossible to follow.
Instead of attempting to put in more workarounds
let's just remove those optimisations, we can
work on them again later, after we change the
whole auth/assoc design.

This should fix rate_control_send_low() warnings,
see RH bug 731365.
