In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
we have to do the following things:
* del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
than a netdev pointer - simply change this
* nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
network namespace
* scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
and reference instead
* we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
in one netns together, so
- we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
export dev_change_net_namespace()
- for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
to disallow breaking this invariant
* when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
wiphy to init_net
* cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
only mac80211
The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
a different network namespace with the new command
iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

There are still two places in mac80211 that hardcode
the initial net namespace (init_net). One of them is
mandated by cfg80211 and will be removed by a separate
patch, the other one is used for finding the network
device of a pending packet via its ifindex.
Remove the latter use by keeping track of the device
pointer itself, via the vif pointer, and avoid it
going stale by dropping pending frames for a given
interface when the interface is removed.
To keep track of the vif pointer for the correct
interface, change the info->control.vif pointer's
internal use to always be the correct vif, and only
move it to the vif the driver expects (or NULL for
monitor interfaces and injected packets) right before
giving the packet to the driver.

This is absolutely fine most of the time.

After all this path could trigger while scanning on different channel.
Or even worse: this AP probing triggers a WARN_ON in rate_lowest_index

This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only

after the connection has been established (in managed
mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
(in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.
In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
the connection has been established.
Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
key authentication.

My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping
in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out
that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to
be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!).
I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see
no way, at least right now, of actually making sure
those functions are only called from process context
since they are both called during TX and RX and the
mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock()
"held".
Therefore, let's disable it completely for now.
It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the
hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't
discovered right away, but it is possible that this
happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that
doesn't exist or so.
It should be possible to solve this by deferring the
freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using
synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations,
but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to
not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of
the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on
either of those solutions though.

Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into
the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can
race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against
leaving an IBSS, etc.
Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects
most of the per-interface data that we need to keep
track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock
everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to
work structs so that we don't require being able to
sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception
to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that
currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier
to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future
drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever
exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like
mac80211 anyway...

properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will

mac80211's software scan implementation uses a passive dwell time of

Reducing the passive dwell time from 200ms to 125ms should save us

This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing

like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by
default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and
shouldn't be enabled in most kernels.
The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to
identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA
attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the
command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode
multicast group).
I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the
command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement
the testmode command.
Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the
command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use
of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is
currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and
the testmode command only serves as an example of how to
use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the
TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at
http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD
licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their
