mac80211: synchronize scan off/on-channel and PS states

2013-02-14T18:47:33Z

commit aacde9ee45225f7e0b90960f479aef83c66bfdc0 upstream. Since: commit b23b025fe246f3acc2988eb6d400df34c27cb8ae Author: Ben Greear Date: Fri Feb 4 11:54:17 2011 -0800 mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel. we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish. But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS. Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered by AP. To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was before.

mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletion

2013-01-17T16:44:09Z

commit a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 upstream. This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

mac80211: deinitialize ibss-internals after emptiness check

2012-12-03T20:59:14Z

commit b78a4932f5fb11fadf41e69c606a33fa6787574c upstream. The check whether the IBSS is active and can be removed should be performed before deinitializing the fields used for the check/search. Otherwise, the configured BSS will not be found and removed properly. To make it more clear for the future, rename sdata->u.ibss to the local pointer ifibss which is used within the checks. This behaviour was introduced by f3209bea110cade12e2b133da8b8499689cb0e2e ("mac80211: fix IBSS teardown race") Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich Cc: Ignacy Gawedzki Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mac80211: fix SSID copy on IBSS JOIN

2012-11-17T21:14:21Z

commit badecb001a310408d3473b1fc2ed5aefd0bc92a9 upstream. The 'ssid' field of the cfg80211_ibss_params is a u8 pointer and its length is likely to be less than IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN most of the time. This patch fixes the ssid copy in ieee80211_ibss_join() by using the SSID length to prevent it from reading beyond the string.

mac80211: check management frame header length

2012-11-17T21:14:21Z

commit 4a4f1a5808c8bb0b72a4f6e5904c53fb8c9cd966 upstream. Due to pskb_may_pull() checking the skb length, all non-management frames are checked on input whether their 802.11 header is fully present. Also add that check for management frames and remove a check that is now duplicate. This prevents accessing skb data beyond the frame end.

mac80211: don't inspect Sequence Control field on control frames

2012-11-17T21:14:20Z

commit f7fbf70ee9db6da6033ae50d100e017ac1f26555 upstream. Per IEEE Std. 802.11-2012, Sec 8.2.4.4.1, the sequence Control field is not present in control frames. We noticed this problem when processing Block Ack Requests. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: Javier Lopez Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mac80211: check if key has TKIP type before updating IV

2012-10-31T16:51:37Z

commit 4045f72bcf3c293c7c5932ef001742d8bb5ded76 upstream. This patch fix corruption which can manifest itself by following crash when switching on rfkill switch with rt2x00 driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=615362 Pointer key->u.ccmp.tfm of group key get corrupted in: ieee80211_rx_h_michael_mic_verify(): /* update IV in key information to be able to detect replays */ rx->key->u.tkip.rx[rx->security_idx].iv32 = rx->tkip_iv32; rx->key->u.tkip.rx[rx->security_idx].iv16 = rx->tkip_iv16; because rt2x00 always set RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED, even if key is not TKIP. We already check type of the key in different path in ieee80211_rx_h_michael_mic_verify() function, so adding additional check here is reasonable.

mac80211: cancel mesh path timer

2012-08-15T19:04:11Z

commit dd4c9260e7f23f2e951cbfb2726e468c6d30306c upstream. The mesh path timer needs to be canceled when leaving the mesh as otherwise it could fire after the interface has been removed already. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mac80211: correct behaviour on unrecognised action frames

2012-07-16T15:47:49Z

commit 4b5ebccc40843104d980f0714bc86bfcd5568941 upstream. When receiving an "individually addressed" action frame, the receiver is required to return it to the sender. mac80211 gets this wrong as it also returns group addressed (mcast) frames to the sender. Fix this and update the reference to the new 802.11 standards version since things were shuffled around significantly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: clean up remain-on-channel on interface stop

2012-06-17T18:23:10Z

commit 71ecfa1893034eeb1c93e02e22ee2ad26d080858 upstream. When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it. Reported-by: Nirav Shah Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
