2021-08-26ath: Modify ath_key_delete() to not need full key entryJouni Malinen
commit 144cd24dbc36650a51f7fe3bf1424a1432f1f480 upstream. tkip_keymap can be used internally to avoid the reference to key->cipher and with this, only the key index value itself is needed. This allows ath_key_delete() call to be postponed to be handled after the upper layer STA and key entry have already been removed. This is needed to make ath9k key cache management safer.

2015-05-06mac80211: extend get_tkip_seq to all keysJohannes Berg
Extend the function to read the TKIP IV32/IV16 to read the IV/PN for all ciphers in order to allow drivers with full hardware crypto to properly support this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-04-24mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISCJohannes Berg
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-08cfg80211: remove "channel" from survey namesJohannes Berg

2012-11-09mac80211: clarify interface iteration and make it configurableJohannes Berg
During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it, but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable it. Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-09-10mac80211: add key flag for management keysJohannes Berg
Mark keys that might be used to receive management frames so drivers can fall back on software crypto for them if they don't support hardware offload. As the new flag is only set correctly for RX keys and the existing IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT flag can only affect TX, also rename the latter to IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX.

2012-08-13ath5k: fix spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_bh nesting in meshBob Copeland
Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when joining a mesh with ath5k. The problem is that ath5k takes the lock for its beacon state, ah->block, with spin_lock_irqsave(), while mesh internally takes the sync_offset_lock with spin_lock_bh() in mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt(), which in turn is called under ah->block. This could deadlock if the beacon tasklet was run on the processor that held the beacon lock during the do_softirq() in spin_unlock_bh(). We probably shouldn't hold the lock around the callbacks, but the easiest fix is to switch to spin_lock_bh for ah->block: it doesn't need interrupts disabled anyway as the data in question is only accessed in softirq or process context. Fixes the following lockdep warning: [ 446.892304] WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:159 _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6() [ 446.892306] Hardware name: MacBook1,1 [ 446.892309] Modules linked in: tcp_lp fuse sunrpc cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq mperf ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 ip6table_filter nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6_tables ext2 arc4 btusb bluetooth snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel carl9170 snd_hda_codec coretemp joydev ath5k snd_hwdep snd_seq isight_firmware ath snd_seq_device snd_pcm applesmc appletouch mac80211 input_polldev snd_timer microcode cfg80211 snd lpc_ich pcspkr i2c_i801 mfd_core soundcore rfkill snd_page_alloc sky2 tpm_infineon virtio_net kvm_intel kvm i915 drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core video [ 446.892385] Pid: 1892, comm: iw Not tainted 3.6.0-rc1-wl+ #296 [ 446.892387] Call Trace: [ 446.892394] [<c0432958>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7c/0x91 [ 446.892398] [<c04399d7>] ? _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892403] [<c04399d7>] ? _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892459] [<f7f9ae3b>] ? mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt+0x95/0x99 [mac80211] [ 446.892464] [<c043298f>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x24 [ 446.892468] [<c04399d7>] _local_bh_enable_ip+0x38/0xa6 [ 446.892473] [<c0439a52>] local_bh_enable_ip+0xd/0xf [ 446.892479] [<c088004f>] _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x34/0x37 [ 446.892527] [<f7f9ae3b>] mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt+0x95/0x99 [mac80211] [ 446.892569] [<f7f7650f>] ieee80211_beacon_get_tim+0x28f/0x4e0 [mac80211] [ 446.892575] [<c047ceeb>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x10e/0x13f [ 446.892591] [<f7fdc541>] ath5k_beacon_update+0x40/0x26b [ath5k] [ 446.892597] [<c047ad67>] ? lock_acquired+0x1f5/0x21e [ 446.892612] [<f7fdf9fb>] ? ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x167/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892617] [<c087f9ea>] ? _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x78/0x82 [ 446.892632] [<f7fdf9fb>] ? ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x167/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892647] [<f7fdfa09>] ath5k_bss_info_changed+0x175/0x1b2 [ath5k] [ 446.892651] [<c0479dd4>] ? lock_is_held+0x73/0x7b [ 446.892662] [<c0458fd5>] ? __might_sleep+0xa7/0x17a [ 446.892698] [<f7f5d8f7>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1ed/0x21a [mac80211] [ 446.892703] [<c0449875>] ? queue_work+0x24/0x32 [ 446.892718] [<f7fdf894>] ? ath5k_configure_filter+0x163/0x163 [ath5k] [ 446.892766] [<f7f95fa4>] ieee80211_start_mesh+0xb9/0xbd [mac80211] [ 446.892806] [<f7f6e610>] ieee80211_join_mesh+0x10c/0x116 [mac80211] [ 446.892834] [<f7a96b90>] __cfg80211_join_mesh+0x176/0x1b3 [cfg80211] [ 446.892855] [<f7a96c1c>] cfg80211_join_mesh+0x4f/0x6a [cfg80211] [ 446.892875] [<f7a89891>] nl80211_join_mesh+0x1de/0x1ed [cfg80211] [ 446.892908] [<f7a8db99>] ? nl80211_set_wiphy+0x4cf/0x4cf [cfg80211] [ 446.892919] [<c07cfa36>] genl_rcv_msg+0x1d5/0x1f3 [ 446.892940] [<c07cf861>] ? genl_rcv+0x25/0x25 [ 446.892946] [<c07cf009>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x37/0x78 [ 446.892950] [<c07cf85a>] genl_rcv+0x1e/0x25 [ 446.892955] [<c07cebf3>] netlink_unicast+0xc3/0x12d [ 446.892959] [<c07cee46>] netlink_sendmsg+0x1e9/0x213 [ 446.892966] [<c079f282>] sock_sendmsg+0x79/0x96 [ 446.892972] [<c04eb90d>] ? might_fault+0x9d/0xa3 [ 446.892978] [<c07a81d8>] ? copy_from_user+0x8/0xa [ 446.892983] [<c07a852c>] ? verify_iovec+0x43/0x77 [ 446.892987] [<c079f4d8>] __sys_sendmsg+0x180/0x215 [ 446.892993] [<c045f107>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x134/0x144 [ 446.892997] [<c047992f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 446.893002] [<c047bf88>] ? __lock_acquire+0x46b/0xb6e [ 446.893006] [<c047992f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [ 446.893010] [<c045f149>] ? local_clock+0x32/0x49 [ 446.893015] [<c0479ec1>] ? lock_release_holdtime.part.9+0x4b/0x51 [ 446.893020] [<c0479dd4>] ? lock_is_held+0x73/0x7b [ 446.893025] [<c050d127>] ? fcheck_files+0x97/0xcd [ 446.893029] [<c050d4df>] ? fget_light+0x2d/0x81 [ 446.893034] [<c07a01f3>] sys_sendmsg+0x3b/0x52 [ 446.893038] [<c07a07b4>] sys_socketcall+0x238/0x2a2 [ 446.893044] [<c0885edf>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x38 [ 446.893047] ---[ end trace a9af5998f929270f ]--- [ 447.627222] [ 447.627232] ================================= [ 447.627237] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] [ 447.627244] 3.6.0-rc1-wl+ #296 Tainted: G W [ 447.627248] --------------------------------- [ 447.627253] inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

2011-08-08ath5k: remove unused and write-only structures and fieldsPavel Roskin
struct ath5k_avg_val is unused. In struct ath5k_hw, lladdr, ah_radar and ah_mac_revision are write-only, rxbufsize is unused, ah_phy is write-only and referenced by unused macros. In struct ath5k_vif, lladdr is write-only. Remove AR5K_TUNE_RADAR_ALERT, which has no effect.

2011-07-20ath5k: merge ath5k_hw and ath5k_softcPavel Roskin
Both ath5k_hw and ath5k_softc represent one instance of the hardware. This duplication is historical and is not needed anymore. Keep the name "ath5k_hw" for the merged structure and "ah" for the variable pointing to it. "ath5k_hw" is shorter than "ath5k_softc", more descriptive and more widely used. Put the combined structure to ath5k.h where the old ath5k_softc used to be. Move some code from base.h to ath5k.h as needed. Remove memory allocation for struct ath5k_hw and the corresponding error handling. Merge iobase and ah_iobase fields.

2011-03-07ath5k: Put hardware in PROMISC mode if there is more than 1 stations.Ben Greear
It seems ath5k has issues receiving broadcast packets (ARPs) when using multiple STA interfaces associated with multiple APs. This patch ensures the NIC is always in PROMISC mode if there are more than 1 stations associated. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-02-25mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg
The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

2011-01-28ath5k: Fix short and long retry configurationBruno Randolf
The register definition for retry configuration on AR5212 was wrong, and simply copied over from AR5210. Update the register definitions from the documentation. Let the short and long retries be configured from mac80211 and use the standard values of 7 and 4 by default. Also we need to make sure we don't export more retries than we are configured for to mac80211 (and the rate module) in hw->max_rate_tries. Also clean up the code by removing unused defines and variables and drop the different values for "station retries" - if these need to be different it can be handled tru ah_retry_long/short.
