7623225f90 Revert "wireless: Use first phyX name available when registering phy devices."
This reverts commit 5a254ffe3f.

The commit failed to take into account that allocated wireless devices
(wiphys) are not added into the device list upon allocation, but only
when they are registered. Therefore, it opened up a race between
allocating and registering a name, so that if two processes allocate and
register concurrently ("alloc, alloc, register, register" rather than
"alloc, register, alloc, register") the code will attempt to use the
same name twice.

5a254ffe3f wireless: Use first phyX name available when registering phy devices.
Choose first available phyX name when creating phy devices.  This
means that reloading a wifi driver will not cause a change in the
name of it's phy device.

Also, allow users to rename a phy to any un-used name, including
phy%d.

5a652052fe cfg80211: fix race between sysfs and cfg80211
device_add() is called before adding the phy to the cfg80211 device
list.

So if a userspace program uses sysfs uevents to detect new phy
devices, and queries nl80211 to get phy info, it can get ENODEV even
though the phy exists in sysfs.

An easy workaround is to hold the cfg80211 mutex until the phy is
present in sysfs/cfg80211/debugfs.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

ffb9eb3d8b nl80211: add power save commands
The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
to enable and disable power save via nl80211.

I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
Basically there were three reasons:

Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
still make sense to users, will be very difficult.

Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.

Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
and other traffic parameters.

Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

026331c4d9 cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames
This implements a new command to register for action frames
that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
the socket can be closed for that.

Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
cfg80211 API helps implementing that.

Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
used either to exchange action frames on the current
operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

ef15aac607 cfg80211: export multiple MAC addresses in sysfs
If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.

If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
that it will be able to deal with that many different
addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
device should deal addresses within that mask based
on an arbitrary "base address".

To test it all and show how it is used, add support
to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
addresses different from the default.

e60d7443e0 wireless : use a dedicated workqueue for cfg80211.
This patch moves the works cleanup, scan and events to a cfg80211
dedicated workqueue.

Platform driver like eeepc-laptop ought to use works to rfkill (as
new rfkill does lock in rfkill_unregister and the platform driver is
called from rfkill_switch_all which also lock the same mutex).
This raise a new issue in itself that the work scheduled by the platform
driver to the global worqueue calls wiphy_unregister which flush_work
scan and event works (which thus flush works on the global workqueue inside
a work on the global workqueue) and also put on hold the  wdev_cleanup_work
 (which prevents the dev_put on netdev thus indefinite Usage count error on
wifi device).

ad4bb6f888 cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
 * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
 * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
   the case of managed mode
 * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
   network segment

In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.

Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
by using debugfs_remove_recursive().

First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).

Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
still need to be handled but can now be removed without

3d23e349d8 wext: refactor
Refactor wext to
 * split out iwpriv handling
 * split out iwspy handling
 * split out procfs support
 * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code
   w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT

After this, drivers need to
 - select WIRELESS_EXT	- for wext support
 - select WEXT_PRIV	- for iwpriv support
 - select WEXT_SPY	- for iwspy support

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core
(i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).

3d54d25515 cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change
When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.

To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.

A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

01a0ac417c cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bug
When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after
the driver. However, it currently does this too early,
it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a
scan request is still pending and exit if not.

ad002395fd cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checking
My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it
was supposed to fix, the scan request checking. But
it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since
the original patch had a deadlock.

Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check
off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But
that has some more complications, like needing to
wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be
destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

0ff6ce7b36 cfg80211: fix deadlock
When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will
deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already
holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify
the scan has been done.

This bug was introduced by my patch
"cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests".

To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into
wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all
cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with
a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it
by removing the module/device.

Additionally, add comments about the deadlock scenario.

36e6fea849 cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests
If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then
take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device
the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request.
That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour
is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev
refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve
robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn
about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just
clean up silently because it's likely that the driver
also has some internal state it has now leaked.

Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the
scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock.

Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and
not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting
to do a cleanup.

it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when
using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number
in each dump message that indicates whether the list has

This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs
some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation
number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or
stations.

The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within
cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be

463d018323 cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces
In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces,
we have to do the following things:

 * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather
   than a netdev pointer - simply change this

 * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's
   network namespace

 * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer
   and reference instead

 * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be
   in one netns together, so
    - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so
      export dev_change_net_namespace()
    - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
      flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns,
      to disallow breaking this invariant

 * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the
   wiphy to init_net

 * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must
   create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects
   only mac80211

The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into
a different network namespace with the new command
	iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid>
and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

fffd0934b9 cfg80211: rework key operation
This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
after the connection has been established (in managed
mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
(in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.

In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
the connection has been established.

Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
key authentication.
