cfg80211: allow userspace to control supported rates in scan
made single-band cards crash since it would always
access all wiphy->bands[]. Fix this and reject any
attempts in the new helper ieee80211_get_ratemask()
to do the same, rejecting rates configuration for
unsupported bands.

Some P2P scans are not allowed to advertise
11b rates, but that is a rather special case
so instead of having that, allow userspace
to request the rate sets (per band) that are
advertised in scan probe request frames.
Since it's needed in two places now, factor
out some common code parsing a rate array.

Some chips may support different lengths of user-supplied IEs with a
single scheduled scan command than with a single normal scan command.
To support this, this patch creates a separate hardware description
element that describes the maximum size of user-supplied information

Since we now have the necessary API in place to support
GTK rekeying, applications will need to know whether it
is supported by a device. Add a pseudo-trigger that is
used only to advertise that capability. Also, add some
new triggers that match what iwlagn devices can do.

In certain circumstances, like WoWLAN scenarios,
devices may implement (partial) GTK rekeying on
the device to avoid waking up the host for it.
In order to successfully go through GTK rekeying,
the KEK, KCK and the replay counter are required.
Add API to let the supplicant hand the parameters
to the driver which may store it for future GTK
rekey operations.
Note that, of course, if GTK rekeying is done by
the device, the EAP frame must not be passed up
to userspace, instead a rekey event needs to be
sent to let userspace update its replay counter.

There was a deadlock when rfkill-blocking a wireless interface,
because we were locking the rdev mutex on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN to stop
sched_scans that were eventually running. The rfkill block code was
already holding a mutex under rdev:
kernel: =======================================================
kernel: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
kernel: 3.0.0-rc1-00049-g1fa7b6a #57

To fix this, add a new mutex specifically for sched_scan, to protect
the sched_scan_req element in the rdev struct, instead of using the
global rdev mutex.

Sometimes when reporting a MIC failure rx->key may be unset. This
code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast
address, and decryption is performed in HW.
Fortunately, the failing key_idx is not used for anything up to
(and including) usermode, so we allow ourselves to drop it on the
way up when a key cannot be retrieved.

Use the new consistent dump feature from (generic) netlink
to advertise when dumps are incomplete.
Readers may note that this does not initialize the
rdev->bss_generation counter to a non-zero value. This is
still OK since the value is modified only under spinlock
when the list is modified. Since the dump code holds the
spinlock, the value will either be > 0 already, or the
list will still be empty in which case a consistent dump
will actually be made (and be empty).

When one of the SSID's length passed in a scan or sched_scan request
is larger than 255, there will be an overflow in the u8 that is used
to store the length before checking. This causes the check to fail
and we overrun the buffer when copying the SSID.
Fix this by checking the nl80211 attribute length before copying it to
the struct.
This is a follow up for the previous commit
208c72f4fe44fe09577e7975ba0e7fa0278f3d03, which didn't fix the problem
entirely.

In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for
the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the
memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with
over 32 characters were allowed to go through.
This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the
proper place.
This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4.

the size of the memory block that needs to be allocated for the

This is unnecessary because the sizes of the actual elements in the

Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

Implement new functionality for scheduled scan offload. With this feature we
can scan automatically at certain intervals.
The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on
desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily.
Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN
commands to the nl80211 interface. When results are available they are
reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events. The userspace is
informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a
NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by
the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace.
Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an
authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace
and hand them over to the kernel. From that point the mesh stack would
take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management).
These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange
in userspace. The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on
successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

Commit dbd2fd656f2060abfd3a16257f8b51ec60f6d2ed added a mechanism for
user space to indicate whether a default key is being configured for
only unicast or only multicast frames instead of all frames. This
commit added a driver capability flag for indicating whether separate
default keys are supported and validation of the set_key command based
on that capability.
However, this single capability flag is not enough to cover possible
difference based on mode (AP/IBSS/STA) and the way this change was
introduced resulted in a regression with drivers that do not indicate
the new capability (i.e.., more or less any non-mac80211 driver using
cfg80211) when using a recent wpa_supplicant snapshot.
Fix the regression by removing the new check which is not strictly
speaking needed. The new separate default key functionality is needed
only for RSN IBSS which has a separate capability indication.

genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before
calling nlmsg_cancel. nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same
arguments. nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a
NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial
subtraction. Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to
genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.
This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).

Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for
configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the
anntenna configuration ops be executed.
Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap
of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent
with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the
hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make
much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to
support this, in case the need arises.
The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and
rejected if it does not match.
