fcc6cb0c13 cfg80211: fix looping soft lockup in find_ie()
The find_ie() function uses a size_t for the len parameter, and
directly uses len as a loop variable.  If any received packets
are malformed, it is possible for the decrease of len to overflow,
and since the result is unsigned, the loop will not terminate.
Change it to a signed int so the loop conditional works for
negative values.

This fixes the following soft lockup:

3d54d25515 cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change
When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.

To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.

A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

f7969969f4 cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable
Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.

So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.

And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

01a0ac417c cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bug
When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after
the driver. However, it currently does this too early,
it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a
scan request is still pending and exit if not.

ad002395fd cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checking
My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it
was supposed to fix, the scan request checking. But
it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since
the original patch had a deadlock.

Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check
off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But
that has some more complications, like needing to
wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be
destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

ea416a793d cfg80211: report userspace SME connected event properly
Instead of hacking the event reporting into the
__cfg80211_connect_result() function which is also
invoked by others, set up things correctly and then
invoke that function, so that it can do more sanity
checking.

Also, it is currently not possible to get a ROAMED
event from the userspace SME anyway since we send
out a DISCONNECTED event when it disassociates and
then a new CONNECTED event on the next association.

Thanks to Zhu Yi for pointing out that the code is
somewhat convoluted and doesn't warn when it should.

0ff6ce7b36 cfg80211: fix deadlock
When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will
deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already
holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify
the scan has been done.

This bug was introduced by my patch
"cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests".

To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into
wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all
cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with
a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it
by removing the module/device.

Additionally, add comments about the deadlock scenario.

36e6fea849 cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests
If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then
take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device
the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request.
That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour
is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev
refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve
robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn
about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just
clean up silently because it's likely that the driver
also has some internal state it has now leaked.

Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the
scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock.

Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and
not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting
to do a cleanup.

3c5772a527 mac80211: Use 3-address format for mesh broadcast frames.
The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame
format to use 3-address.  This was done to avoid interactions with widely
deployed lazy-WDS access points.

This patch changes the format of group addressed frames, both mesh-originated
and proxied, to use the data format defined in draft D2.08 and forward.  The
address fields used for group addressed frames is:

In 802.11 header
 ToDS:0  FromDS:1
 addr1: DA  (broadcast/multicast address)
 addr2: TA
 addr3: Mesh SA

In address extension header:
 addr4: SA  (only present if frame was proxied)

Note that this change breaks backward compatibility with earlier mesh stack
versions.

f5ea9120be nl80211: add generation number to all dumps
In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether
it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when
using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number
in each dump message that indicates whether the list has
changed or not -- its value is arbitrary.

This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs
some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation
number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or
stations.

The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within
cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be
stored there as well.

f401a6f7ed cfg80211: use reassociation when possible
With the move of everything related to the SME from
mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send
reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only
for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it
shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do
so with the nl80211 interface).

I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so
it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211
connect primitive. I think that should be done with
the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see
how that can be handled in the future, especially
with fullmac chips.

This patch addresses only the immediate regression
we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc.

59bbb6f757 cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces
Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory
enforcement and connection stability, in that it is
possible to switch the channel while connected to a
network or joined to an IBSS.

The problem comes from the fact that we only validate
the channel against the current interface's type, not
against any other interface. Thus, you have any type
of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode
interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This
will obviously also switch the channel on the other
interface.

The problem now is that if you do that while sending
beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled
channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing.
Combined with a managed mode interface connected to
an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily
break the connection that way.

To fix this, this patch validates any channel change
with all available interfaces, and disallows such
changes on secondary interfaces if another interface
is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

When reporting a disconnection to userspace, we try
to report whether it was from the AP or by our own
choice. However, we misreported a broadcast deauth
or disassoc as being by own choice, which is wrong.
Fix this by checking the sender address instead of
the destination address.

8dadadb7e9 cfg80211: clear SSID on disconnect/no connection
The SME state machine in cfg80211 uses the SSID stored
in struct wireless_dev internally, but fails to clear
it in multiple places (when giving up on a connection
attempt and when disconnecting). This doesn't matter to
the SME state machine, but does matter for IBSS. Thus,
in those cases, clear the SSID to avoid messing up the
IBSS state machine.

8b19e6ca3b cfg80211: enable country IE support to all cfg80211 drivers
Since the bss is always set now once we are connected, if the
bss has its own information element we refer to it and pass that
instead of relying on mac80211's parsing.

Now all cfg80211 drivers get country IE support, automatically and
we reduce the call overhead that we had on mac80211 which called this
upon every beacon and instead now call this only upon a successfull
connection by a STA on cfg80211.

abc7381bcc cfg80211: decouple regulatory variables from cfg80211_mutex
We change regulatory code to be protected by its own regulatory
mutex and alleviate cfg80211_mutex to only be used to protect
cfg80211_rdev_list, the registered device list.

By doing this we will be able to work on regulatory core components
without having to have hog up the cfg80211_mutex. An example here is
we no longer need to use the cfg80211_mutex during driver specific
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). We also no longer need it for the
the country IE regulatory hint; by doing so we end up curing this
new lockdep warning:

4b44c8bc4d cfg80211: do not iterate over rdev list on country IE hint
Simplify the country IE hint code by just bailing out if
a previous country IE has been issued. We currently just trust
the first AP we connect to on any card. The idea was to perform
conflict resolution within this routine but since we can no longer
iterate over the registered device list here we leave conflict
resolution to be dealt with at a later time on the workqueue.

This code has no functional changes other than saving us an
interation over the registered device list when a second card
is connected, or you unplug and connect the same one, and a
country IE is received. This would have been done upon every
beacon received.

371842448c cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature
A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:

"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"

We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.

By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.

Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.

We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.

This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.

I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.
