afd2efb919 mac80211: Fix incorrectly named last_hop_metric variable in mesh_rx_path_sel_frame
The last hop metric should refer to link cost (this is how
hwmp_route_info_get uses it for example). But in mesh_rx_path_sel_frame
we are not dealing with link cost but with the total cost to the origin
of a PREQ or PREP.

74d803b602 mac80211: ignore invalid scan RSSI values
Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we
send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel
2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this
case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on
the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case).

The scan result ignores those invalid values and the
station last signal should not be updated as well.

In case the scan determines the signal to be invalid turn on
the flag so the station last signal will not be updated with
the value and thus user space probing for NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL
and NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG will not get this invalid RSSI
value.

d01f858c78 mac80211: release channel on auth failure
There were a few rare cases when upon
authentication failure channel wasn't released.
This could cause stale pointers to remain in
chanctx assigned_vifs after interface removal and
trigger general protection fault later.

This could be triggered, e.g. on ath10k with the
following steps:

 1. start an AP
 2. create 2 extra vifs on ath10k host
 3. connect vif1 to the AP
 4. connect vif2 to the AP
    (auth fails because ath10k firmware isn't able
     to maintain 2 peers with colliding AP mac
     addresses across vifs and consequently
     refuses sta_info_insert() in
     ieee80211_prep_connection())
 5. remove the 2 extra vifs
 6. goto step 2; at step 3 kernel was crashing:

472be00d04 mac80211: handle aggregation session timeout on fast-xmit path
The conversion to the fast-xmit path lost proper aggregation session
timeout handling - the last_tx wasn't set on that path and the timer
would therefore incorrectly tear down the session periodically (with
those drivers/rate control algorithms that have a timeout.)

In case of iwlwifi, this was every 5 seconds and caused significant

3b79af973c mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookies
Even if the pointers are really only accessible to root and used
pretty much only by wpa_supplicant, this is still not great; even
for debugging it'd be easier to have something that's easier to

With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the

needs to also allocate an ack_skb, and we can store the cookie in
that skb.

b2eb0ee6d0 mac80211: copy nl80211 mgmt TX SKB for status
When we return the TX status for an nl80211 mgmt TX SKB, we
should also return the original frame with the status to
allow userspace to match up the submission (it could also
use the cookie but both ways are permissible.)

As TX SKBs could be encrypted, at least in the case of ANQP
while associated with the AP, copy the original SKB, store
it with an ACK frame ID and restructure the status path to
use that to return status with the original SKB. Otherwise,
userspace (in particular wpa_supplicant) will get confused.

db388a567f mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key struct
For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have
PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to
store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's
somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due
to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN
to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct.

As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this
way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it
all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not
moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of
the internal TKIP state.

As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the
keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it.

This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer
share a cacheline.

c9c99f8938 mac80211: act upon and report deauth while associating
When trying to associate, the AP could send a deauth frame instead.
Currently mac80211 drops that frame and doesn't report it to the
supplicant, which, in some versions and/or in certain circumstances
will simply keep trying to associate over and over again instead of
trying authentication again.

Fix this by reacting to deauth frames while associating, reporting
them to the supplicant and dropping the association attempt (which
is bound to fail.)

ab499db80f mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruption
There was a possible race between
ieee80211_reconfig() and
ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could
result in inability to transmit data if driver
crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent
skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared.

This race was probably never seen in the wild
because a device driver would have to crash AND
recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely.

I was able to prove this race exists after
changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing
ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK
rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below
0. This was harmless but other drivers which
actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or
MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead
of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom
failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs
appropriately anymore.

c5a71688e1 mac80211: disconnect TDLS stations on STA CSA
When a station does a channel switch, it's not well defined what its TDLS
peers would do. Avoid a situation when the local side marks a potentially
disconnected peer as a TDLS peer.
Keeping peers connected through CSA is doubly problematic with the upcoming
TDLS WIDER-BW feature which allows peers to widen the BSS channel. The
new channel transitioned-to might not be compatible and would require
a re-negotiation anyway.

Make sure to disallow new TDLS link during CSA.

464daaf04c mac80211: check fast-xmit on station change
Drivers with fast-xmit (e.g. ath10k) running in
AP_VLAN setups would fail to communicate with
connected 4addr stations.

The reason was when new station associates it
first goes into master AP interface. It is not
until later that a dedicated AP_VLAN is created
for it and the station itself is moved there.
After that Tx directed at the station should use
4addr header. However fast-xmit wasn't
recalculated and 3addr header remained to be used.
This in turn caused the connected 4addr stations
to drop packets coming from the AP until some
other event would cause fast-xmit to recalculate
for that station (which could never come).

80616c0db8 mac80211: allow segmentation offloads
Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal
TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if
the hardware (or driver) supports it.

680a0daba7 mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G
If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
that being possible.)

However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().

Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
code in mac80211 at all anyway.

2d981fddb0 mac80211: allow checksum offload only in fast-xmit
When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number
of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the
checksum to be calculated already.

In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call
to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it
once before the regular TX processing.

Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers
since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous
commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases.

For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be
programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting
frames with a bad checksum.

3ffd884012 mac80211: extend fast-xmit to cover IBSS
IBSS can be supported very easily since it uses the standard station
authorization state etc. so it just needs to be covered by the header
building switch statement.

e495c24731 mac80211: extend fast-xmit for more ciphers
When crypto is offloaded then in some cases it's all handled
by the device, and in others only some space for the IV must
be reserved in the frame. Handle both of these cases in the
fast-xmit path, up to a limit of 18 bytes of space for IVs.

725b812c83 mac80211: extend fast-xmit to driver fragmentation
If the driver handles fragmentation then it wouldn't
be done in software so we can still use the fast-xmit
path in that case.

17c18bf880 mac80211: add TX fastpath
In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.

There's also a more detailed description in the code.

35c347ac53 mac80211: lock rate control
Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.

In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
can cause firmware crashes.

Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
data structures the algorithms maintain.

I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
client. With this change, the system survives this test.

48bf6beddf mac80211: introduce plink lock for plink fields
The mesh plink code uses sta->lock to serialize access to the
plink state fields between the peer link state machine and the
peer link timer.  Some paths (e.g. those involving
mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across
frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed.  Add a new spinlock
just for plink access.

6c373ca893 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next
Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt.

 2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers
    can support hw switch offloading.  From Floria Fainelli.

 3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
    from Madhu Challa.

 4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck.

 5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
    rose, etc.  And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
    implement MPLS support.  All from Eric Biederman.

 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.

 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
    up route lookups even further.  From Alexander Duyck.

 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
    from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf.  In particular, in the case where
    an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
    table, we expand the table much more sanely.

10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
    Biederman.

11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.

12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
    established in the main hash table.  Much less false sharing since
    hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
    go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
    underneath.  From Eric Dumazet.

13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.

14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6.  From
    Hannes Frederic Sowa.

15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic
    Sowa.

16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard
    Cochran.
