5b0ec94f9c mac80211: fix memory leak in register_hw() error path
Move the internal scan request allocation below the last
sanity check in ieee80211_register_hw() to avoid leaking
memory if the sanity check actually triggers.

ad38bfc916 mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics
Measure TX latency and jitter statistics per station per TID.
These Measurements are disabled by default and can be enabled
via debugfs.

Features included for each station's TID:

1. Keep count of the maximum and average latency of Tx frames.
2. Keep track of many frames arrived in a specific time range
   (need to enable through debugfs and configure the bins ranges)

2475b1cc0d mac80211: add generic cipher scheme support
This adds generic cipher scheme support to mac80211, such schemes
are fully under control by the driver. On hw registration drivers
may specify additional HW ciphers with a scheme how these ciphers
have to be handled by mac80211 TX/RR. A cipher scheme specifies a
cipher suite value, a size of the security header to be added to
or stripped from frames and how the PN is to be verified on RX.

24d47300d1 mac80211: set hw initial idle state
ATM, the first call of ieee80211_do_open will configure the hw as
non-idle, even if the interface being brought up is not a monitor, and
this leads to inconsistent sequences like:

register_hw()
	do_open(sta)
		hw_config(non-idle)
(.. sta is non-idle ..)
scan(sta)
	hw_config(idle) (after scan finishes)
do_stop(sta)

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."

d8537548c9 drivers: avoid format strings in names passed to alloc_workqueue()
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

8d61ffa5e0 cfg80211/mac80211: use cfg80211 wdev mutex in mac80211
Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always
caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in

Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported
with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to
such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change
state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211

f9e124fbd8 mac80211: protect rx-path with spinlock
This patch fixes the problem which was discussed in
"mac80211: Fix PN corruption in case of multiple
virtual interface" [1].

Amit Shakya reported a serious issue with my patch:
mac80211: serialize rx path workers" [2]:

In case, ieee80211_rx_handlers processing is going on
for skbs received on one vif and at the same time, rx
aggregation reorder timer expires on another vif then
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."

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.

The special case in the function isn't really needed,
instead make the suspend code a bit better and also
easier to understand and move the warning into the
driver op wrapper inline.

d6a8322882 mac80211: track enable_beacon explicitly
Instead of calculating in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify()
whether beaconing should be enabled or not, set it in the
correct places in the callers. This simplifies the logic in
this function at the expense of offchannel, but is also more
robust.

This change allows userspace to register for probe request
frames on an IBSS interface. Userspace then has to handle
them and send replies.

4bf88530be mac80211: convert to channel definition struct
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a
little bit) to the new channel definition struct.

This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is
currently restricted to channel contexts since there
are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As
I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the
channel context API, I won't convert the previous API
to VHT support.

42d97a599e cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type
As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.

Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

1ea6f9c0d4 mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interface
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a
single global TX power limit was already problematic,
in particular if two managed interfaces connected to
two APs with different power constraints. The channel
context introduction completely broke this though and
in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there
for drivers using channel contexts.

Change everything to track TX power per interface so
that different user settings and different channel
maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking
the global TX power though for compatibility with
applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's
TX power globally.

5c95b940bd nl/cfg80211: force scan using an AP vif if requested
If the user wants to scan using a vif configured as AP,
cfg80211 must give him a chance to do it, even if this
will disrupt the stations performance due to off-channel
scanning. To do so, this patch adds a 'force' flag to the
SCAN_TRIGGER command which tells cfg80211 to perform the
scanning operation even if the vif is an AP and the
beaconing has already started.
