d86aa4f8ca mac80211: fix crash if bitrate calculation goes wrong
If a frame's timestamp is calculated, and the bitrate
calculation goes wrong and returns zero, the system
will attempt to divide by zero and crash. Catch this
case and print the rate information that the driver
reported when this happens.

a754055a12 mac80211: correctly close cancelled scans
__ieee80211_scan_completed is called from a worker. This
means that the following flow is possible.

 * driver calls ieee80211_scan_completed
 * mac80211 cancels the scan (that is already complete)
 * __ieee80211_scan_completed runs

When scan_work will finally run, it will see that the scan
hasn't been aborted and might even trigger another scan on
another band. This leads to a situation where cfg80211's
scan is not done and no further scan can be issued.

Fix this by setting a new flag when a HW scan is being
cancelled so that no other scan will be triggered.

22c4ceed01 mac80211: Run deferred scan if last roc_list item is not started
mac80211 scan processing could get stuck if roc work for pending, but
not started when a scan request was deferred due to such roc item.
Normally the deferred scan would be started from
ieee80211_start_next_roc(), but ieee80211_sw_roc_work() calls that only
if the finished ROC was started. Fix this by calling
ieee80211_run_deferred_scan() in the case the last ROC was not actually
started.

This issue was hit relatively easily in P2P find operations where Listen
state (remain-on-channel) and Search state (scan) are repeated in a
loop.

0c5b93290b mac80211: update sta->last_rx on acked tx frames
When clients are idle for too long, hostapd sends nullfunc frames for
probing. When those are acked by the client, the idle time needs to be
updated.

To make this work (and to avoid unnecessary probing), update sta->last_rx
whenever an ACK was received for a tx packet. Only do this if the flag
IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS is set.

6329b8d917 mac80211: drop spoofed packets in ad-hoc mode
If an Ad-Hoc node receives packets with the Cell ID or its own MAC
address as source address, it hits a WARN_ON in sta_info_insert_check()
With many packets, this can massively spam the logs. One way that this
can easily happen is through having Cisco APs in the area with rouge AP
detection and countermeasures enabled.
Such Cisco APs will regularly send fake beacons, disassoc and deauth
packets that trigger these warnings.

To fix this issue, drop such spoofed packets early in the rx path.

a986553877 mac80211: fix change_interface queue assignments
Jouni reported that with mac80211_hwsim, multicast TX was causing
crashes due to invalid vif->cab_queue assignment. It turns out that
this is caused by change_interface() getting invoked and not having
the vif->type/vif->p2p assigned correctly before calling the queue
check (ieee80211_check_queues). Fix this by passing the 'external'
interface type to the function and adjusting it accordingly.

While at it, also fix the error path in change_interface, it wasn't
correctly resetting to the external type but using the internal one
instead.

Fortunately this affects on hwsim because all other drivers set the
vif->type/vif->p2p variables when changing iftype. This shouldn't
be needed, but almost all implementations actually do it for their
own internal handling.

d70b7616d9 mac80211: ignore (E)CSA in probe response frames
Seth reports that some APs, notably the Netgear WNDAP360, send
invalid ECSA IEs in probe response frames with the operating
class and channel number both set to zero, even when no channel
switch is being done. As a result, any scan while connected to
such an AP results in the connection being dropped.

Fix this by ignoring any channel switch announcment in probe
response frames entirely, since we're connected to the AP we
will be receiving a beacon (and maybe even an action frame) if
a channel switch is done, which is sufficient.

the start_sched_scan operation is supported or not, but that will not

Therefore, move setting WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN into the drivers

27b3eb9c06 mac80211: add APIs to allow keeping connections after WoWLAN
In order to be able to (securely) keep connections alive after
the system was suspended for WoWLAN, we need some additional
APIs. We already have API (ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify) to tell
wpa_supplicant about the new replay counter if GTK rekeying
was done by the device while the host was asleep, but that's
not sufficient.

If GTK rekeying wasn't done, we need to tell the host about
sequence counters for the GTK (and PTK regardless of rekeying)
that was used while asleep, add ieee80211_set_key_rx_seq() for
that.

If GTK rekeying was done, then we need to be able to disable
the old keys (with ieee80211_remove_key()) and allocate the
new GTK key(s) in mac80211 (with ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add()).

If protocol offload (e.g. ARP) is implemented, then also the
TX sequence counter for the PTK must be updated, using the new
ieee80211_set_key_tx_seq() function.

5cdaed1e87 mac80211: ignore HT primary channel while connected
While we're connected, the AP shouldn't change the primary channel
in the HT information. We checked this, and dropped the connection
if it did change it.

Unfortunately, this is causing problems on some APs, e.g. on the
Netgear WRT610NL: the beacons seem to always contain a bad channel
and if we made a connection using a probe response (correct data)
we drop the connection immediately and can basically not connect
properly at all.

Work around this by ignoring the HT primary channel information in
beacons if we're already connected.

Also print out more verbose messages in the other situations to
help diagnose similar bugs quicker in the future.

cd34f647a7 mac80211: fix monitor interface suspend crash regression
My commit:

commit 12e7f51702
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 28 10:55:26 2013 +0100

    mac80211: cleanup generic suspend/resume procedures

removed check for deleting MONITOR and AP_VLAN when suspend. That can
cause a crash (i.e. in iwlagn_mac_remove_interface()) since we remove
interface in the driver that we did not add before.

40d18ff959 mac80211: prevent the buffering or frame transmission to non-assoc mesh STA
This patch is intended to avoid the buffering to non-assoc mesh STA
and also to avoid the triggering of frame to non-assoc mesh STA which
could cause kernel panic in specific hw.

One of the examples, is kernel panic happens to ath9k if user space
inserts the mesh STA and not proceed with the SAE and AMPE, and later
the same mesh STA is detected again. The sta_state of the mesh STA remains
at IEEE80211_STA_NONE and if the ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup is called
and subsequently the ath_tx_aggr_wakeup, the kernel panic due to
ath_tx_node_init is not called before to initialize the require data
structures.

This issue is reported by Cedric Voncken before.

5c9fc93bc9 mac80211/minstrel: fix NULL pointer dereference issue
When priv_sta == NULL, mi->prev_sample is dereferenced too early. Move
the assignment further down, after the rate_control_send_low call.

c82b5a74cc mac80211: make active monitor injection work w/ HW queue
When a driver (like hwsim) uses HW queue control an
active monitor vif needs to be used for the queues,
make the code do that. Otherwise we'd bail out and
drop the frames.

93c75786e8 mac80211: fix off-by-one regression in ibss beacon generation
There is an off-by-one error in the beacon generation for the ibss mode,
falsely a rate the extended supported rates which was already added to
supported rates, messing up the beacon. This was introduced by commit
"mac80211: select and adjust bitrates according to channel mode".

2ec9c1f67a mac80211: fix regression when initializing ibss wmm params
There appear to be two regressions in ibss.c when calling
ieee80211_sta_def_wmm_params():
 * the second argument should be a rate length, not a rate array. This
   was introduced by my commit "mac80211: select and adjust bitrates
   according to channel mode"
 * the third argument is not initialized (anymore), making further
   checks within this function useless.

Since ieee80211_sta_def_wmm_params() is only used by ibss anyway,
remove the function entirely and handle the operating mode decision
immediately.
