Andrei Otcheretianski 1af586c911 mac80211: Handle the CSA counters correctly
Make the beacon CSA counters part of ieee80211_mutable_offsets and don't
decrement CSA counters when generating a beacon template. This permits the
driver to offload the CSA counters handling. Since mac80211 updates the probe
responses with the correct counter, the driver should sync the counter's value
with mac80211 using ieee80211_csa_update_counter function.

Add a new API ieee80211_beacon_get_template, which doesn't
affect DTIM counter and should be used if the device generates beacon
frames, and new beacon template is needed. In addition set the offsets

Michael Braun 112c44b2df mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta again
commit de74a1d903
  "mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta"
fixed an issue where queued multicast packets would
be sent out encrypted with the key of an other bss.

commit "7cbf9d017dbb5e3276de7d527925d42d4c11e732"
  "mac80211: fix oops on mesh PS broadcast forwarding"
essentially reverted it, because vif.type cannot be AP_VLAN
due to the check to vif.type in ieee80211_get_buffered_bc before.

As the later commit intended to fix the MESH case, fix it
by checking for IFTYPE_AP instead of IFTYPE_AP_VLAN.

Emmanuel Grumbach 1d147bfa64 mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup race
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while
a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes
up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX
path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be
processed while a packet is being transmitted.

This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list
is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on
the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in
the TX path.

As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime
soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the
station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time.

Additionally, it can lead to the crash below.

Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock.
Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations.

In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to
reduce locking overhead.

Johannes Berg 338f977f4e mac80211: fix fragmentation code, particularly for encryption
The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago)
erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust
the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others.
This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data
originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written
at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the
data.

The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then
 a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection
    becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly
    verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to
    be wrong
 b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into
    the air

This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable
of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen
as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally,
fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have
to be configured manually.

Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

Johannes Berg b4ba544c8c mac80211: fix bufferable MMPDU RX handling
Action, disassoc and deauth frames are bufferable, and as such don't
have the PM bit in the frame control field reserved which means we
need to react to the bit when receiving in such a frame.

Fix this by introducing a new helper ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu()
and using it for the RX path that currently ignores the PM bit in
any non-data frames for doze->wake transitions, but listens to it in
all frames for wake->doze transitions, both of which are wrong.

Also use the new helper in the TX path to clean up the code.

Luciano Coelho 66e01cf99e mac80211: only set CSA beacon when at least one beacon must be transmitted
A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information
element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just
before the next beacon.  So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it
would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is
useless.  A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action
frames or probe_responses.

Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa()
functions accordingly.

With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the
switch will happen before the next TBTT.  To avoid extra work and
potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately,
instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish().

To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count
is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the
next TBTT.

Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c,
where it makes more sense.

Thomas Pedersen 43552be1da mac80211: update adjusting TBTT bit in beacon
This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".

mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt()  was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.

Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.

Simon Wunderlich 438b61b770 mac80211: fix timing for 5 MHz and 10 MHz channels
according to IEEE 802.11-2012 section 18, various timings change
when using 5 MHz and 10 MHz. Reflect this by using a "shift" when
calculating durations.

Johannes Berg f4d57941bf mac80211: always send multicast on CAB queue
If the driver advertised support for a CAB queue, then we
should put all multicast frames there, otherwise sending
them can be racy with clients going to sleep while we TX
a frame. To avoid this, always TX multicast frames on the
multicast queue.

It seems like even drivers not using the queue framework
might want to do this which would mean also moving the
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM flag assignment, but it
also seems that drivers behave differently here so that
just moving it wouldn't be a good idea. It'd be better to
modify those drivers to use the queue framework.

Felix Fietkau 0d528d85c5 mac80211: improve the rate control API
Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211
and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate
selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows
rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a
step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi.

When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not
fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve
explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then
explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from
info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

Felix Fietkau 991fec0910 mac80211: fix CTS protection handling
The rates[0] CTS and RTS flags are only set after rate control has been

Felix Fietkau 2ffbe6d333 mac80211: fix and optimize MCS mask handling
Currently the code always copies the configured MCS mask (even if it is
set to default), but only uses it if legacy rates were also masked out.
Fix this by adding a flag that tracks whether the configured MCS mask is
set to default or not.
Optimize the code further by storing a pointer to the configured rate
mask in txrc instead of using memcpy.

Karl Beldan 5253ffb8c9 mac80211: always pick a basic rate to tx RTS/CTS for pre-HT rates
When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set
rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the
data rate"(code comments).
But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss
basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its
1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic
rate index.
This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in
this situation.

Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates.

Simon Horman e5c5d22e8d net: add ETH_P_802_3_MIN
Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for
an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field
are Ethernet II.

Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and
I could find to use the new constant.

Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN
should be >= not >.

As suggested by Jesse Gross.

Compile tested only.
