    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for
some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong
since the optimisation this flag tried to make
requires that it is kept across the processing
of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for
flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the
optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under
some (common!) circumstances the flag will be
set on an already freed skb!

However, investigating this in more detail, I
found that most of the flags that we set should
be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to
a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used
for processing (currently just this one) need
to be reset before processing a new packet.

Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as
a result of the wrong flags handling (which is
not too surprising -- the only real bug case I
can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an
a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

Date:   Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100

    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMTR flag into the skb's status, and
in doing so introduced a use-after-free -- when
the skb has been handed to cooked monitors the
status setting will touch now invalid memory.

Additionally, moving it there has effectively
discarded the optimisation -- since the bit is
only ever set on freed SKBs, and those were a
copy, it could never be checked.

For the current release, fixing this properly
is a bit too involved, so let's just remove the
problematic code and leave userspace with one
copy of each frame for each virtual interface.

wext: fix potential private ioctl memory content leak

When a driver doesn't fill the entire buffer, old
heap contents may remain, and if it also doesn't
update the length properly, this old heap content
will be copied back to userspace.

It is very unlikely that this happens in any of

show up as junk being reported by iwpriv, but it
seems better to be safe here, so use kzalloc.

responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process
probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming
connection monitoring.

push back the connection monitor by design so even if we
are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection

affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been

ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the

we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in
preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted.

The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.

Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after
we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really
oddly.

This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there
*may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of

ath9k: fix regression on beacon loss after bgscan

When we return to the home channel we were never reseting our beacon
timers, this was casued by the fact that the scanning flag was still
on even after we returned to our home channel. There are also other
reasons why we would get a reset and if we are not off channel
we always need to resynch our beacon timers, because a reset will
clear them.

This bug is a regression introduced on 2.6.36. The order of the
changes are as follows:

5ee08656 - Sat Jul 31 - ath9k: prevent calibration during off-channel activity

14 years agoath9k: fix power save race conditions
Luis R. Rodriguez [Thu, 16 Sep 2010 19:12:26 +0000 (15:12 -0400)]
ath9k: fix power save race conditions

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and
having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because
although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use
of some variables which get altered in the driver at different
code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags.

This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when
roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some
0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as:

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000
ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
ath: Chip reset failed

The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS)
calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for
these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211
on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore()
which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.

There are quite a few threads and bug reports on these a few of them are:

ath9k_htc: Fix register read through bulk pipe

To optimize register read/write operations, the HTC firmwares were patched
to change EP3 and EP4 pipe types from Interrupt to Bulk. So register writes
are submitted as bulk urbs, but register reads are not. Also changing the
register read endpoint pipe as bulk type when URBs are filled improves the
register reads considerably which results in reduced scan time and CPU
utilization.

mac80211: add p2p device type support

When a driver advertises p2p device support,
mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will
rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than
P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need
to be touched that are otherwise identical. A
p2p boolean tells drivers whether or not a given
interface will be used for p2p or not.

mac80211: set running state earlier

When an interface is brought up, the recent changes
to allow changing type-while-up only set the running
bit after everything was done. This broke a number
of things, including idle calculation for monitor
interfaces, and it also broke WDS station insertion
(although nobody noticed yet).

Thus, change the code to set the running bit earlier,
but keep it after the driver's add_interface was
called because otherwise drivers may iterate over
interfaces they haven't fully set up yet.
