It's a bit odd that there's a return value that only depends on the iftype, move that logic out of the function into the only caller that needs it. Also, since the quiescing could stop timers that trigger the sdata work, move the sdata work cancel into the function and after the actual quiesce. Finally, there's no need to call it on interfaces that are down, so don't. Change-Id: I1632d46d21ba3558ea713d035184f1939905f2f1 Signed-off-by:Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The probe response/beacon management frame RX code passes a bool parameter to differentiate beacons and probe responses. This is useless since we have the frame and can thus use its frame control field. Moreover it is buggy since there is one call to ieee80211_rx_bss_info with a beacon frame that is indicated as a probe response, which is also fixed by using the frame control field, so do that.

In that case, it's really a 160 MHz channel, so disallow this configuration. Signed-off-by: -

If there are VLANs, stopping an AP is inefficient as it calls rcu_barrier() once for each interface (the VLANs and the AP itself). Optimise this by moving rcu_barrier() out of the station cleanups and calling it only once for all interfaces combined. Signed-off-by: -

To simplify the locking and not require cfg80211_mutex (which nl80211 uses to access the global regdomain) and also to make it possible for drivers to access their wiphy->regd safely, use RCU to protect these pointers. Acked-by:

Instead of assigning after calling the function do it inside the function. This will later avoid a period of time where the pointer is NULL. Acked-by:

The channel bandwidth handling isn't really quite right, it assumes that a 40 MHz channel is really two 20 MHz channels, which isn't strictly true. This is the way the regulatory database handling is defined right now though so remove the logic to handle other channel widths. Signed-off-by: -

There's a bug with the world regulatory domain, it can be updated any time which is different from all other regdomains that can only be updated once after a request for them. Fix this by adding a check for "processed" to the reg_is_valid_request() function and clear that when doing a request. While looking at this I also found another locking bug, last_request is protected by the reg_mutex not the cfg80211_mutex so the code in nl80211 is racy. Remove that code as it only tries to prevent an allocation in an error case, which isn't necessary. Then the function can also become static and locking in nl80211 can have a smaller scope. Also change __set_regdom() to do the checks earlier and not different for world/other regdomains. Acked-by:

wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() doesn't have to hold the regulatory mutex as it only modifies the given wiphy with the given regulatory domain, it doesn't access any global regulatory data. Acked-by:

Many places that currently check that cfg80211_mutex is held don't actually use any data protected by it. The functions that need to hold the cfg80211_mutex are the ones using the cfg80211_regdomain variable, so add the lock assertion to those and clarify this in the comments. The reason for this is that nl80211 uses the regdom without being able to hold reg_mutex. Acked-by:

The function itself has dual-purpose: it can retrieve from a given regdomain or from the globally installed one. Change it to have a single purpose only: to look up from a given regdomain. Pass the correct regdomain in the freq_reg_info() function instead. This also changes the locking rules for it, no locking is required any more. Acked-by:

As the dummy_rule (also renamed from irule) is only used for output by the reg_rules_intersect() function there's no need to clear it at all, remove that. Acked-by:

There's no need to allocate one reg rule more than will be used, reduce the allocations. The allocation in nl80211 already doesn't allocate too much space. Acked-by:

When intersecting rules, we count first to know how many rules need to be allocated, and then do the intersection into the allocated array. However, the code doing this writes past the end of the array because it attempts to do all intersections. Make it stop when the right number of rules has been reached. Acked-by:

The last fixes re-added the RCU synchronize penalty on roaming to fix the races. Split up sta_info_flush() now to get rid of that again, and let managed mode (and only it) delay the actual destruction. Tested-by:

When an interface is brought down it must have been disconnected (or similar) in all modes other than WDS, so warn if any stations were removed in other modes. Tested-by:

Johannes Berg authored
When all interfaces have been removed, there can't be any stations left over, so there's no need to flush again. Remove this, and all code associated with it, which also simplifies the function. Tested-by:

When AP's SSID is hidden the BSS can appear several times in cfg80211's BSS list: once with a zero-length SSID that comes from the beacon, and once for each SSID from probe reponses. Since the mac80211 stores its data in ieee80211_bss which is embedded into cfg80211_bss, mac80211's data will be duplicated too. This becomes a problem when a driver needs the dtim_period since this data exists only in the beacon's instance in cfg80211 bss table which isn't the instance that is used when associating. Remove the DTIM period from the BSS table and track it explicitly to avoid this problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by:

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.) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by:
