nl80211: ignore HT/VHT capabilities without QoS/WMM

2015-03-16T08:36:11Z

As HT/VHT depend heavily on QoS/WMM, it's not a good idea to let userspace add clients that have HT/VHT but not QoS/WMM. Since it does so in certain cases we've observed (client is using HT IEs but not QoS/WMM) just ignore the HT/VHT info at this point and don't pass it down to the drivers which might unconditionally use it.

cfg80211: calls nl80211_exit on error

2015-02-24T10:41:21Z

nl80211_exit should be called in cfg80211_init if nl80211_init succeeds but regulatory_init or create_singlethread_workqueue fails. Signed-off-by: Junjie Mao Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: fix n_reg_rules to match world_regdom

2015-02-24T09:58:37Z

There are currently 8 rules in the world_regdom, but only the first 6 are applied due to an incorrect value for n_reg_rules. This causes channels 149-165 and 60GHz to be disabled. Signed-off-by: Jason Abele Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: fix memory leak in monitor flags parsing

2015-02-24T09:56:42Z

If monitor flags parsing results in active monitor but that isn't supported, the already allocated message is leaked. Fix this by moving the allocation after this check. Reported-by: Christian Engelmayer Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: use loop index as type for net detect frequency results

2015-02-24T09:53:50Z

We currently add nested members of the NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES as NLA_U32 attributes of type NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ in cfg80211_net_detect_results. However, since there can be an arbitrary number of frequency results, we should use the loop index of the loop used to add the frequency results to NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES as the type (i.e. nla_type) for each result attribute, rather than a fixed type. This change is in line with how nested members are added to NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES in the functions nl80211_send_wowlan_nd and nl80211_add_scan_req.

cfg80211: Add new GCMP, CCMP-256, BIP-GMAC, BIP-CMAC-256 ciphers

2015-01-27T10:04:57Z

This makes cfg80211 aware of the GCMP, GCMP-256, CCMP-256, BIP-GMAC-128, BIP-GMAC-256, and BIP-CMAC-256 cipher suites. These new cipher suites were defined in IEEE Std 802.11ac-2013. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: Fix BIP (AES-CMAC) cipher validation

2015-01-27T10:03:41Z

This cipher can be used only as a group management frame cipher and as such, there is no point in validating that it is not used with non-zero key-index. Instead, verify that it is not used as a pairwise cipher regardless of the key index.

Another set of last-minute fixes: * fix station double-removal when suspending while associating * fix the HT (802.11n) header length calculation * fix the CCK radiotap flag used for monitoring, a pretty old regression but a simple one-liner * fix per-station group-key handling Signed-off-by: David S.
