wireless: allow 40 MHz on world roaming channels 12/13

2012-11-26T20:14:18Z

commit 43c771a1963ab461a2f194e3c97fded1d5fe262f upstream. When in world roaming mode, allow 40 MHz to be used on channels 12 and 13 so that an AP that is, e.g., using HT40+ on channel 9 (in the UK) can be used.

mac80211: verify that skb data is present

2012-11-17T21:18:31Z

commit 9b395bc3be1cebf0144a127c7e67d56dbdac0930 upstream. A number of places in the mesh code don't check that the frame data is present and in the skb header when trying to access. Add those checks and the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. This prevents accessing data that doesn't actually exist. To do this, export ieee80211_get_mesh_hdrlen() to be able to use it in mac80211.

wireless: drop invalid mesh address extension frames

2012-11-17T21:18:29Z

commit 7dd111e8ee10cc6816669eabcad3334447673236 upstream. The mesh header can have address extension by a 4th or a 5th and 6th address, but never both. Drop such frames in 802.11 -> 802.3 conversion along with any frames that have the wrong extension. Reviewed-by: Javier Cardona Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfg80211: fix antenna gain handling

2012-11-17T21:18:29Z

commit c4a9fafc77a5318f5ed26c509bbcddf03e18c201 upstream. No driver initializes chan->max_antenna_gain to something sensible, and the only place where it is being used right now is inside ath9k. This leads to ath9k potentially using less tx power than it can use, which can decrease performance/range in some rare cases. Rather than going through every single driver, this patch initializes chan->orig_mag in wiphy_register(), ignoring whatever value the driver left in there. If a driver for some reason wishes to limit it independent from regulatory rulesets, it can do so internally.

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
