cfg80211/mac80211: avoid state mishmash on deauth

2012-10-31T17:10:31Z

commit 6863255bd0e48bc41ae5a066d5c771801e92735a upstream. Avoid situation when we are on associate state in mac80211 and on disassociate state in cfg80211. This can results on crash during modules unload (like showed on this thread: http://marc.info/?t=134373976300001&r=1&w=2) and possibly other problems.

cfg80211: fix possible circular lock on reg_regdb_search()

2012-09-19T00:43:23Z

When call_crda() is called we kick off a witch hunt search for the same regulatory domain on our internal regulatory database and that work gets kicked off on a workqueue, this is done while the cfg80211_mutex is held. If that workqueue kicks off it will first lock reg_regdb_search_mutex and later cfg80211_mutex but to ensure two CPUs will not contend against cfg80211_mutex the right thing to do is to have the reg_regdb_search() wait until the cfg80211_mutex is let go. The lockdep report is pasted below. cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.3.8 #3 Tainted: G O ------------------------------------------------------- kworker/0:1/235 is trying to acquire lock: (cfg80211_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<816468a4>] set_regdom+0x78c/0x808 [cfg80211] but task is already holding lock: (reg_regdb_search_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<81646828>] set_regdom+0x710/0x808 [cfg80211] which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #2 (reg_regdb_search_mutex){+.+...}: [<800a8384>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x88 [<802950a8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x54/0x31c [<81645778>] is_world_regdom+0x9f8/0xc74 [cfg80211] -> #1 (reg_mutex#2){+.+...}: [<800a8384>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x88 [<802950a8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x54/0x31c [<8164539c>] is_world_regdom+0x61c/0xc74 [cfg80211] -> #0 (cfg80211_mutex){+.+...}: [<800a77b8>] __lock_acquire+0x10d4/0x17bc [<800a8384>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x88 [<802950a8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x54/0x31c [<816468a4>] set_regdom+0x78c/0x808 [cfg80211] other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: cfg80211_mutex --> reg_mutex#2 --> reg_regdb_search_mutex Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(reg_regdb_search_mutex); lock(reg_mutex#2); lock(reg_regdb_search_mutex); lock(cfg80211_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** 3 locks held by kworker/0:1/235: #0: (events){.+.+..}, at: [<80089a00>] process_one_work+0x230/0x460 #1: (reg_regdb_work){+.+...}, at: [<80089a00>] process_one_work+0x230/0x460 #2: (reg_regdb_search_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<81646828>] set_regdom+0x710/0x808 [cfg80211] stack backtrace: Call Trace: [<80290fd4>] dump_stack+0x8/0x34 [<80291bc4>] print_circular_bug+0x2ac/0x2d8 [<800a77b8>] __lock_acquire+0x10d4/0x17bc [<800a8384>] lock_acquire+0x60/0x88 [<802950a8>] mutex_lock_nested+0x54/0x31c [<816468a4>] set_regdom+0x78c/0x808 [cfg80211] Reported-by: Felix Fietkau Tested-by: Felix Fietkau Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

cfg80211: process pending events when unregistering net device

2012-08-06T18:29:58Z

libertas currently calls cfg80211_disconnected() when it is being brought down. This causes an event to be allocated, but since the wdev is already removed from the rdev by the time that the event processing work executes, the event is never processed or freed. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/95666 Fix this leak, and other possible situations, by processing the event queue when a device is being unregistered.

cfg80211: Clear "beacon_found" on regulatory restore

2012-08-02T13:34:22Z

Restore the default state to the "beacon_found" flag when the channel flags are restored. Otherwise, we can end up with a channel that we can no longer transmit on even when we can see beacons on that channel. Signed-off-by: Paul Stewart Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: add channel flag to prohibit OFDM operation

2012-08-02T13:30:49Z

Currently the only way for wireless drivers to tell whether or not OFDM is allowed on the current channel is to check the regulatory information. However, this requires hodling cfg80211_mutex, which is not visible to the drivers. Other regulatory restrictions are provided as flags in the channel definition, so let's do similarly with OFDM. This patch adds a new flag, IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_OFDM, to tell drivers that OFDM on a channel is not allowed. This flag is set on any channels for which regulatory indicates that OFDM is prohibited.

wireless: reg: restore previous behaviour of chan->max_power calculations

2012-07-25T14:11:12Z

commit eccc068e8e84c8fe997115629925e0422a98e4de Author: Hong Wu Date: Wed Jan 11 20:33:39 2012 +0200 wireless: Save original maximum regulatory transmission power for the calucation of the local maximum transmit pow changed the way we calculate chan->max_power as min(chan->max_power, chan->max_reg_power). That broke rt2x00 (and perhaps some other drivers) that do not set chan->max_power. It is not so easy to fix this problem correctly in rt2x00. According to commit eccc068e8 changelog, change claim only to save maximum regulatory power - changing setting of chan->max_power was side effect. This patch restore previous calculations of chan->max_power and do not touch chan->max_reg_power. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.4+ Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Luis R.
