debugfs union in struct ieee80211_sub_if_data is misused by including a
common default_key dentry as a union member. This ends occupying the same
memory area with the first dentry in other union members (structures;
usually drop_unencrypted). Consequently, debugfs operations on
default_key symlinks and drop_unencrypted entry are using the same
dentry pointer even though they are supposed to be separate ones. This
can lead to removing entries incorrectly or potentially leaving
something behind since one of the dentry pointers gets lost.
Fix this by moving the default_key dentry to a new struct
(common_debugfs) that contains dentries (more to be added in future)
that are shared by all vif types. The debugfs union must only be used
for vif type-specific entries to avoid this type of pointer corruption.

The association request includes a list of supported data rates.
802.11b: 4 supported rates.
802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates.
802.11a: 8 supported rates.
The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of
802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c
an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is
exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to
deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my
ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs.
'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates
tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of
no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than
rates_len would seem more correct.

Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP
interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and
force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended
up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different
union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the
end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to
freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not
removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers. This patch fixes
those issues by using only a single union structure based on the vif

The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and
AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte
limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in
AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg
showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors.
Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the
issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These
newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size
(IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send
the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the
code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an
extra buffer for hex encoding.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.
Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.
Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.
This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.
It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)
Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.
This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
- no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
lets me remove a lot of tests for that
- no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
on the master netdev any more.

The old infrastructure was:
- the default algorithm is built into mac80211
- other algorithms get into their own modules
The implementation of this complicated scheme was horrible
(just look at net/mac80211/Makefile), and anyone adding a new
algorithm would most likely not get it right at his first attempt.
This patch therefore builds all enabled algorithms into the mac80211
module.
The user interface for the rate control algorithms changes as follows:
- first the user can choose which algorithms to enable (currently only
MAC80211_RC_PID is available)
- if more than one algorithm is enabled (currently not possible since
only one algorithm is present) the user then chooses the default one
Note:
- MAC80211_RC_PID is always enables for CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n
Technical changes:
- all selected algorithms get into the mac80211 module
- net/mac80211/Makefile can now become much less complicated
- support for rc80211_pid_algo.c being modular is no longer required
- this includes unexporting mesh_plink_broken

The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to

This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).
In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a

1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines.
2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused.
3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to
size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether
IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not.
4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack
bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines
modified in #3. Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are
replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info).
With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno.

In IBSS mode prior to join/creation of new IBSS it is possible that
a frame from unknown station is received and an ibss_add_sta() is
called. This will cause a warning in rate_lowest_index() since the
list of supported rates of our station is not initialized yet.
The fix is to add ibss stations with a rate we received that frame
at; this single-element set will be extended later based on beacon
data. Also there is no need to store stations from a foreign IBSS.

This patch fixes setting beacon interval
1. in register_hw it honors value requested by the driver
2. It uses default 100 instead of 1000 or 10000. Scanning for beacon
interval ~1sec and above is not sane

This patch adds a check to the set_channel flow. When attempting to change

Sufficient scans (at least 2 or 3) should have been done within 7
seconds to find an existing IBSS to join. This should improve IBSS
creation latency; and since IBSS merging is still in effect, shouldn't
have detrimental effects on eventual IBSS convergence.

This patch fixes the issue of slow reconnection to an IBSS cell after
disconnection from it. Now the interface's bssid is reset upon ifdown.
ieee80211_sta_find_ibss:
if (found && memcmp(ifsta->bssid, bssid, ETH_ALEN) != 0 &&
(bss = ieee80211_rx_bss_get(dev, bssid,
local->hw.conf.channel->center_freq,
ifsta->ssid, ifsta->ssid_len)))
Note:
In general disconnection is still not handled properly in mac80211

In commit 2e92e6f2c5 ("mac80211: use rate
index in TX control") I forgot to initialise a few new variables to -1 which
means that the rate control algorithm is never triggered and 0 is used as
the only rate index, effectively fixing the transmit bitrate at the lowest
supported.
This patch adds the missing initialisation.

This patch allows to disable FAT channel in specific configurations.
For example the configuration (8, +1), (primary channel 8, extension
channel 12) isn't permitted in U.S., but (8, -1), (primary channel 8,
extension channel 4) is. When FAT channel configuration is not
permitted, FAT channel should be reported as not supported in the
capabilities of the HT IE in association request. And sssociation is
performed on 20Mhz channel.

This addresses an alignment issue with compare_ether_addr().
The addresses passed to compare_ether_addr should be two bytes aligned.
It may function properly in x86 platform. However may not work properly
on IA-64 or ARM processor.
This also fixes a typo in mlme.c where the sk_buff struct name is incorect.
Though sizeof() works for any incorrect structure pointer name as its just
a pointer length that we want, lets just fix it.

This addresses a NULL pointer dereference in sta_info_get().
TID and sta_info are extracted in ADDBA Timer expiry function
through the timer handler's argument.
The problem is extracging the TID (which was stored in
timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which
may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results
in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers.
ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in
sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local
pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in
stat_info_get().
The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8
instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires
some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming
patches.
