Javier Cardona ece1a2e7e8 mac80211: Remove mesh paths when an interface is removed
When an interface is removed, the mesh paths associated with it should
also be removed.

This fixes a bug we observed when reloading a device driver module
without reloading mac80211s.

Neil Horman 550fd08c2c net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared
After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

Johannes Berg 40b275b69e mac80211: sparse RCU annotations
This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of
mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be
done.

Due the the previous patches, the annotations
are pretty simple. The only thing that this
actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

Eric W. Biederman 5f04d5068a net: Fix more stale on-stack list_head objects.
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only
once in the lifetime of a network device (I think).  Now we have calls
using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a
network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the
unreg_list.  In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a
list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that
unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times.

So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed
will fix this problem.  Now to go test that.

Johannes Berg 29cbe68c51 cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.

Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.

We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.

In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.

Brian Cavagnolo 352ffad646 mac80211: unset SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL when cancelling a scan
For client STA interfaces, ieee80211_do_stop unsets the relevant
interface's SDATA_STATE_RUNNING state bit prior to cancelling an
interrupted scan.  When ieee80211_offchannel_return is invoked as
part of cancelling the scan, it doesn't bother unsetting the
SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit because it sees that the interface is
down.  Normally this doesn't matter because when the client STA
interface is brought back up, it will probably issue a scan.  But
in some cases (e.g., the user changes the interface type while it
is down), the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit will remain set.  This
prevents the interface queues from being started.  So we
cancel the scan before unsetting the SDATA_STATE_RUNNING bit.

Johannes Berg 2d2080c3c1 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.

The locking in this case is quite complex. Fix the problem by rewriting the
way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address
list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver
when needed.

The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need
to be changed in the future.

Johannes Berg a93e364430 mac80211: change RX aggregation locking
To prepare for allowing drivers to sleep in
ampdu_action, change the locking in the RX
aggregation code to use a mutex, so that it
would already allow drivers to sleep. But
explicitly disable BHs around the callback
for now since the TX part cannot yet sleep,
and drivers' locking might require it.

Johannes Berg c1475ca99e mac80211: move aggregation callback processing
This moves the aggregation callback processing
to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function
rather than the tasklet.

Unfortunately, this means that it extends the
pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it
will enable making ampdu_action API changes
gradually, my current plan is to get rid of
this again by forcing drivers to only return
from ampdu_action() when everything is done,
thus removing the callbacks completely.

Johannes Berg 344eec67c7 mac80211: move blockack stop due to fragmentation
There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented
frame during a blockack session, in which case we
will terminate that session. To simplify future work
in this area that will culminate in allowing the
driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the
processing of this case out of the RX path into the
interface work.

This will simplify future work because the new place
for this code doesn't require that the function will
always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

Johannes Berg bed7ee6e44 mac80211: always process blockack action from workqueue
To prepare for making the ampdu_action callback
sleep, make mac80211 always process blockack
action frames from the skb queue. This gets rid
of the current special case for managed mode
interfaces as well.

Johannes Berg 1fa57d0173 mac80211: use common work function
Even with the previous patch, IBSS, managed
and mesh modes all attach their own work
function to the shared work struct, which
means some duplicated code. Change that to
only have a frame processing function and a
further work function for each of them and
share some common code.

Johannes Berg 64592c8fc0 mac80211: use common work struct
IBSS, managed and mesh modes all have their
own work struct, and in the future we want
to also use it in other modes to process
frames from the now common skb queue.

This also makes the skb queue and work safe
to use from other interface types.

Johannes Berg 2a419056c1 mac80211: simplify station/aggregation code
A number of places use RCU locking for accessing
the station list, even though they do not need
to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the
locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is
also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the
same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that.

While doing so, combine places where we loop
over stations twice, and optimise away some of
the loops by checking if the hardware supports
aggregation at all first.

Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right
now we could resume, set up an aggregation session,
and right after tear it down again due to the code
that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here.
Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as
a workaround.

Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling
loop when an interface is stopped, directly after
that we remove all stations from it which will also
disable all aggregation sessions that may still be
active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the
current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

Johannes Berg ad0e2b5a00 mac80211: simplify key locking
Since I recently made station management able
to sleep, I can now rework key management as
well; since it will no longer need a spinlock
and can also use a mutex instead, a bunch of
code to allow drivers' set_key to sleep while
key management is protected by a spinlock can
now be removed.
