This enhances the connect timeout API to also carry the reason for the timeout. These reason codes for the connect time out are represented by enum nl80211_timeout_reason and are passed to user space through a new attribute NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT_REASON (u32).

Enhance sched scan to support option of finding a better BSS while in connected state. Firmware scans the medium and reports when it finds a known BSS which has better RSSI than the current connected BSS. New attributes to specify the relative RSSI (compared to the current BSS) are added to the sched scan to implement this.

Add support to use a random local address (Address 2 = TA in transmit and the same address in receive functionality) for Public Action frames in order to improve privacy of WLAN clients. Applications fill the random transmit address in the frame buffer in the NL80211_CMD_FRAME command. This can be used only with the drivers that indicate support for random local address by setting the new NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA and/or NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_MGMT_TX_RANDOM_TA_CONNECTED in ext_features. The driver needs to configure receive behavior to accept frames to the specified random address during the time the frame exchange is pending and such frames need to be acknowledged similarly to frames sent to the local permanent address when this random address functionality is not used.

With 78, 111 and 85 bytes respectively (on x86-64), the functions iwe_stream_add_event(), iwe_stream_add_point() and iwe_stream_add_value() really shouldn't be inlines. It appears that at least my compiler already decided the same, and created a single instance of each one of them for each file using it, but that's still a number of instances in the system overall, which this reduces.

There may be situations in which the in-kernel originator of an SKB cares about its wifi transmission status. To have that, set the wifi_acked[_valid] bits before freeing/orphaning the SKB if the destructor is set. The originator can then use it in there.

gcc-7 complains that wl3501_cs passes NULL into a function that then uses the argument as the input for memcpy: drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function 'wl3501_get_scan': include/net/iw_handler.h:559:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull] memcpy(stream + point_len, extra, iwe->u.data.length); This works fine here because iwe->u.data.length is guaranteed to be 0 and the memcpy doesn't actually have an effect. Making the length check explicit avoids the warning and should have no other effect here. Also check the pointer itself, since otherwise we get warnings elsewhere in the code.

There is not a valid reason to attempt setting the monitor channel while in managed mode. Since this code path only deals with this mode, remove the code block. Johannes: I'll note that the comment indicated it was for backward compatibility, but the code wasn't functional since switching the monitor channel isn't supported (any more?) when in managed mode, as that mode owns the channel configuration. Additionally, since monitor can't be done on a managed mode interface, this would only have had any effect to start with if a separate monitor interface is present, in which case it's better to change the channel through that anyway, if even possible.

Disconnect or deauthenticate when the owning socket is closed if this flag is supplied to CMD_CONNECT or CMD_ASSOCIATE. This may be used to ensure userspace daemon doesn't leave an unmanaged connection behind. In some situations it would be possible to account for that, to some degree, in the deamon restart code or in the up/down scripts without the use of this attribute. But there will be systems where the daemon can go away for varying periods without a warning due to local resource management.

Ilan reported that sometimes nl80211 messages weren't working if the frames being transported got very large, which was really a problem for userspace-to-kernel messages, but prompted me to look at the code. Upon review, I found various places where variable-length data is transported in an nl80211 message but the message isn't allocated taking that into account. This shouldn't cause any problems since the frames aren't really that long, apart in one place where two (possibly very long frames) might not fit. Fix all the places (that I found) that get variable length data from the driver and put it into a message to take the length of the variable data into account. The 100 there is just a safe constant for the remaining message overhead (it's usually around 50 for most messages.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Add a new "global" (i.e. not per-rfkill device) LED trigger, rfkill-any, which may be useful on laptops with a single "radio LED" and multiple radio transmitters. The trigger is meant to turn a LED on whenever there is at least one radio transmitter active and turn it off otherwise.

This patch adds a helper for reading that new property and applying limitations of supported channels specified this way. It is used with devices that normally support a wide wireless band but in a given config are limited to some part of it (usually due to board design). For example a dual-band chipset may be able to support one band only because of used antennas. It's also common that tri-band routers have separated radios for lower and higher part of 5 GHz band and it may be impossible to say which is which without a DT info.

The supported band structure contains the band is applies to so no need to pass it separately. Also added a default case to the switch for completeness. The current code base does not call this function with NUM_NL80211_BANDS but kept that case statement although default case would cover that.

This reverts commit 73f4f76a. As Mike reported, and I should've seen in review, we can't call the new LED functions, which acquire the mutex, from places like rfkill_set_sw_state() that are documented to be callable from any context the user likes to use. For Mike's case it led to a deadlock, but other scenarios are possible. Reported-by: Михаил Кринкин <krinkin.m.u@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The trigger is meant to turn a LED on whenever there is at least one radio transmitter active and turn it off otherwise. This requires taking rfkill_global_mutex before calling rfkill_set_block() in rfkill_resume(): since __rfkill_any_led_trigger_event() is called from rfkill_set_block() unconditionally, each caller of the latter needs to take care of locking rfkill_global_mutex.
