cfg80211 could pass a NULL net_device to the driver via the set_channel() callback, when it receives a request to set the device's channel. Not handling this case properly results in this panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000cb0 IP: [<ffffffffa0374e49>] ath6kl_cfg80211_ready+0x9/0x70 [ath6kl_sdio] Call Trace: [<ffffffffa0374ed7>] ath6kl_set_channel+0x27/0x90 [ath6kl_sdio] [<ffffffffa04dfd5f>] cfg80211_set_freq+0xff/0x1d0 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa04d3275>] ? nl80211_set_wiphy+0x85/0x660 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa04d3198>] __nl80211_set_channel.isra.39+0x118/0x140 [cfg80211] [<ffffffffa04d34f3>] nl80211_set_wiphy+0x303/0x660 [cfg80211] [<ffffffff813678d7>] ? rtnl_lock+0x17/0x20 [<ffffffffa04ca165>] ? nl80211_pre_doit+0xb5/0x150 [cfg80211] [<ffffffff81382a45>] genl_rcv_msg+0x1d5/0x250 [<ffffffff81382870>] ? genl_rcv+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff81381be9>] netlink_rcv_skb+0xa9/0xd0 [<ffffffff81382855>] genl_rcv+0x25/0x40 [<ffffffff811354f0>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff81381519>] netlink_unicast+0x2d9/0x320 [<ffffffff813818e6>] netlink_sendmsg+0x2c6/0x320 [<ffffffff81343800>] ? sock_update_classid+0xb0/0x110 [<ffffffff8133f52e>] sock_sendmsg+0x10e/0x130 [<ffffffff81169933>] ? mem_cgroup_update_page_stat+0x193/0x250 [<ffffffff811354f0>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff811354f0>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff81135539>] ? might_fault+0x89/0x90 [<ffffffff811354f0>] ? might_fault+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff8134d126>] ? verify_iovec+0x56/0xd0 [<ffffffff8133f9e6>] __sys_sendmsg+0x396/0x3b0 [<ffffffff8108e823>] ? up_read+0x23/0x40 [<ffffffff81040e68>] ? do_page_fault+0x208/0x4e0 [<ffffffff81193151>] ? vfsmount_lock_local_unlock+0x21/0x60 [<ffffffff811947d0>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x30/0xe0 [<ffffffff8119489f>] ? mntput+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81342149>] sys_sendmsg+0x49/0x90 [<ffffffff81425482>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

As firmware starting from 3.2.0.12 has some API changes and doesn't work with older versions of ath6kl we need to bump up the API version. This way we don't break anything. Also store which version of API is used and print that during boot: ath6kl: ar6003 hw 2.1.1 sdio fw 3.2.0.13 api 3 Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

Currently ath6kl has just hardcoded paths to each firmware file. Change this more dynamic by separating the the directory and file name from each other. That way it's easier to dynamically create full paths to firmware and code looks better. And now it's possible to remove a function needed by devicetree code. While at it add a structure inside struct ath6kl_hw to contain all firmware names. I deliberately omitted board file support as those will be handled later. This is needed for firmware API 3.

Firmware ARP module requires own IP addr in order to respond to the outside world when the target is in WOW suspend state. At present, firmware ARP module has capability to hold 2 IP addr. So, WOW mode will be disabled if the total IP addr configured in net_dev for our device is greater than firmware limit (MAX_IP_ADDRS) which is 2 at this moment.

In this way, caller is free to pass only the value of IP addr to configure. In addition to this, * 'ips' variable data type in struct wmi_set_ip_cmd is changed from __le32 to __be32 in order to match network byte order. * ipv4_is_multicast() is used to validate multicast ip addr. * New argument if_idx is added to supply correct vif index to ath6kl_wmi_cmd_send().

This is to avoid the scenario where the bss entry of the AP got expired when reporting roaming event to current AP. As the bss entry for the current bss is available in driver, pass this bss to cfg80211. This fixes WARNING: at net/wireless/sme.c:586. This patch depends on the following patch in cfg80211 "cfg80211: Fix race in bss timeout".

When we restore regulatory settings the world regulatory domain is properly reset on cfg80211 (or user prefered regulatory domain) but we were never setting back channel values for drivers that use WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY. Set these values up again by using the orig_ channel parameters. This fixes restoring custom regulatory settings upon disconnect events.

By definition WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY was intended to allow the wiphy to adjust itself to the country IE power information if the card had no regulatory data but we had no way to tell cfg80211 that if the card also had its own custom regulatory domain (these are typically custom world regulatory domains) that we want to follow the country IE's noted values for power for each channel. We add support for this and document it. This is not a critical fix but a performance optimization for cards with custom regulatory domains that associate to an AP with sends out country IEs with a higher EIRP than the one on the custom regulatory domain. In practice the only driver affected right now are the Atheros drivers as they are the only drivers using both WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY and WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY -- used on cards that have an Atheros world regulatory domain. Cards that have been programmed to follow a country specifically will not follow the country IE power. So although not a stable fix distributions should consider cherry picking this.

In order to notify drivers and simplify the station management code, defer IBSS station insertion to a work item and don't do it directly while receiving a frame. This increases the complexity in IBSS a little bit, but it's pretty straight forward and it allows us to reduce the station management complexity (next patch) considerably.

Currently, each AP interface will send multicast traffic if any interface has a station entry even if that station entry is allocated only. With the new station state management we can easily fix it by adding a counter that counts each authorized station only and send multicast traffic only when the correct interface has at least one authorized station.

Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
