      cfg80211: Schedule timeout for all CRDA calls · eeca9fce
      Ilan peer authored
      Timeout was scheduled only in case CRDA was called due to user hints,
      but was not scheduled for other cases. This can result in regulatory
      hint processing getting stuck in case that there is no CRDA configured.
      
      Change this by scheduling a timeout every time CRDA is called. In
      addition, in restore_regulatory_settings() all pending requests are
      restored (and not only the user ones).

      cfg80211: Add API to change the indoor regulatory setting · 05050753
      Ilan peer authored
      Previously, the indoor setting configuration assumed that as
      long as a station interface is connected, the indoor environment
      setting does not change. However, this assumption is problematic
      as:
      
      - It is possible that a station interface is connected to a mobile
        AP, e.g., softAP or a P2P GO, where it is possible that both the
        station and the mobile AP move out of the indoor environment making
        the indoor setting invalid. In such a case, user space has no way to
        invalidate the setting.
      - A station interface disconnection does not necessarily imply that
        the device is no longer operating in an indoor environment, e.g.,
        it is possible that the station interface is roaming but is still
        stays indoor.
      
      To handle the above, extend the indoor configuration API to allow
      user space to indicate a change of indoor settings, and allow it to
      indicate weather it controls the indoor setting, such that:
      
      1. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going
         to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting
         internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process
         should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command
         to state that it is going to control the indoor setting.
      2. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in
         case it is not owned by a user space process.
      
      Based on the above, a user space tool that continuously monitors the
      indoor settings, i.e., tracking power setting, location etc., can
      indicate environment changes to the regulatory core.
      
      It should be noted that currently user space is the only provided mechanism
      used to hint to the regulatory core over the indoor/outdoor environment --
      while the country IEs do have an environment setting this has been completely
      ignored by the regulatory core by design for a while now since country IEs
      typically can contain bogus data.

      cfg80211: Simplify the handling of regulatory indoor setting · 0c4ddcd2

      Directly update the indoor setting without wrapping it as
      a regulatory request, to simplify the processing.

      cfg80211-wext: return -E2BIG when buffer can't hold full BSS entry · 76a70e9c
      James Minor authored
      When using the wext compatibility code in cfg80211, part of the IEs
      can be truncated if the passed user buffer is large enough for part
      of the BSS but not large enough for all of the IEs.  This can cause
      an EAP network to show up as a PSK network.
      
      Always return -E2BIG in this case to avoid truncating data.
      
      Since this changes the control flow, use an on-stack variable for
      a small buffer instead of allocating it.

      mac80211: remove TX latency measurement code · abfbc3af
      Johannes Berg authored
      Revert commit ad38bfc9 ("mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics")
      (along with some follow-up fixes).
      
      This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we
      thought, and we've internally hacked it up more, but that's not
      very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that
      with tracing instead.
      
      Therefore, for now at least, remove this code. We might also need
      to use the skb->tstamp field for the TCP performance issue, which
      is more important than the debugging.

      nl/mac80211: allow zero plink timeout to disable STA expiration · 31f909a2
      Masashi Honma authored
      Both wpa_supplicant and mac80211 have and inactivity timer. By default
      wpa_supplicant will be timed out in 5 minutes and mac80211's it is 30
      minutes. If wpa_supplicant uses a longer timer than mac80211, it will
      get unexpected disconnection by mac80211.
      
      Using 0xffffffff instead as the configured value could solve this w/o
      changing the code, but due to integer overflow in the expression used
      this doesn't work. The expression is:
      
      (current jiffies) > (frame Rx jiffies + NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT * 250)
      
      On 32bit system, the right side would overflow and be a very small
      value if NL80211_MESHCONF_PLINK_TIMEOUT is sufficiently large,
      causing unexpectedly early disconnections.
      
      Instead allow disabling the inactivity timer to avoid this situation,
      by passing the (previously invalid and useless) value 0.

      mac80211_hwsim: support any address in userspace · cd37a90b
      Bob Copeland authored
      Due to the checks in get_hwsim_data_ref_from_addr, wmediumd
      was only able to use the second mac address (those starting with
      0x42).  This is confusing and needlessly limiting, so allow any
      configured address.

      cfg80211-wext: export symbols only when needed · 2afe38d1
      Johannes Berg authored
      When a fully converted cfg80211 driver needs cfg80211-wext for
      userspace API purposes, the symbols need not be exported. When
      other drivers (orinoco/hermes or ipw2200) are enabled, they do
      need the symbols exported as they use them directly.
      
      Make those drivers select a new CFG80211_WEXT_EXPORT Kconfig
      symbol (instead of just CFG80211_WEXT) and export the functions
      only if requested - this saves about 1/2k due to the size of
      EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself.
