mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support

2022-04-11T14:42:03Z

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented using sta_info datastructure with the associated STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta part of it. With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level communication can happen via different advertised links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class, BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link STA parameters within a composite sta_info object called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of MLD STA are identified using the link address which can be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique link id based on the link vif. To support extension of such a model, the sta_info datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA objects with link specific params currently within sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial driver changes are expected to support this. For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink' member. For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to get the correct link ID and access the correct part of the station info. Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id being 0 for non MLO supported cases. Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the link STA info via deflink. @ieee80211_sta@ struct ieee80211_sta *s; struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr}; @@ ( s-> - var + deflink.var | si->sta. - var + deflink.var ) @sta_info@ struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {gtk, pcpu_rx_stats, rx_stats, rx_stats_avg, status_stats, tx_stats, cur_max_bandwidth}; @@ ( si-> - var + deflink.var ) Signed-off-by: Sriram R Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1649086883-13246-1-git-send-email-quic_srirrama@quicinc.com [remove MLO-drivers notes from commit message, not clear yet; run spatch] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

spi: make remove callback a void function

2022-02-09T13:00:45Z

The value returned by an spi driver's remove function is mostly ignored. (Only an error message is printed if the value is non-zero that the error is ignored.) So change the prototype of the remove function to return no value. This way driver authors are not tempted to assume that passing an error to the upper layer is a good idea. All drivers are adapted accordingly. There is no intended change of behaviour, all callbacks were prepared to return 0 before.

wireless: Remove redundant 'flush_workqueue()' calls

cw1200: Revert unnecessary patches that fix unreal use-after-free bugs

2021-06-15T13:41:22Z

A previous commit 4f68ef64cd7f ("cw1200: Fix concurrency use-after-free bugs in cw1200_hw_scan()") tried to fix a seemingly use-after-free bug between cw1200_bss_info_changed() and cw1200_hw_scan(), where the former frees a sk_buff pointed to by frame.skb, and the latter accesses the sk_buff pointed to by frame.skb. However, this issue should be a false alarm because: (1) "frame.skb" is not a shared variable between the above two functions, because "frame" is a local function variable, each of the two functions has its own local "frame" - they just happen to have the same variable name. (2) the sk_buff(s) pointed to by these two "frame.skb" are also two different object instances, they are individually allocated by different dev_alloc_skb() within the two above functions. To free one object instance will not invalidate the access of another different one. Based on these facts, the previous commit should be unnecessary. Moreover, it also introduced a missing unlock which was addressed in a subsequent commit 51c8d24101c7 ("cw1200: fix missing unlock on error in cw1200_hw_scan()"). Now that the original use-after-free is unreal, these two commits should be reverted. This patch performs the reversion.
