2009-11-25xfrm: Use the user specified truncation length in ESP and AHMartin Willi4-4/+4
Instead of using the hardcoded truncation for authentication algorithms, use the truncation length specified on xfrm_state. Signed-off-by: Martin Willi <martin@strongswan.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-11-25xfrm: Store aalg in xfrm_state with a user specified truncation lengthMartin Willi2-9/+122
Adding a xfrm_state requires an authentication algorithm specified either as xfrm_algo or as xfrm_algo_auth with a specific truncation length. For compatibility, both attributes are dumped to userspace, and we also accept both attributes, but prefer the new syntax. If no truncation length is specified, or the authentication algorithm is specified using xfrm_algo, the truncation length from the algorithm description in the kernel is used.

2009-11-19mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messagesJohannes Berg2-11/+42
With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME requests an authentication but then deauthenticates right away because some new parameters came along. Every time this happens we print a deauth message and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that. The patch looks larger than it really is: __cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

2009-11-19mac80211: request TX status where neededJohannes Berg1-2/+2
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only the injected frames need TX status (the latter for hostapd) so move setting this flag. The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but they don't require it. Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and seems to require it being set for all frames, but that can be fixed in rt2x00. This doesn't really change anything for any drivers but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may opt to not report TX status for frames that don't have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

2009-11-19cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfacesJohannes Berg4-4/+47
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11 networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't help here. The wireless address format used for these links has only space for three addresses, the * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin) * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in the case of managed mode * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local network segment In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient must match and the third address is used as the BSSID. To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a wireless interface to a bridge. Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP and client side that can be used (after negotiating that it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

2009-11-19cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr modeJohannes Berg8-30/+71
It's very likely that not many devices will support four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211 and check them when userspace tries to use the mode. Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev) and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the 4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-11-18cfg80211: Allow reassociation in associated stateJouni Malinen1-2/+18
cfg80211 rejects all association requests when in associated state. This prevents clean roaming within an ESS since one would first need to disassociate before being able to request reassociation. Accept the reassociation request and let the old association to be dropped when the new one is completed. This fixes nl80211-based roaming with the current snapshot version of wpa_supplicant (that has code for requesting reassociation explicitly withthe previous BSSID attribute).

2009-11-18mac80211: make software rate control optionalJohannes Berg5-13/+42
Some devices implement the entire rate control in firmware in some way, like wl1271 or like iwlwifi which does some things in software but not a lot. Therefore generic software rate control is rather useless for them and just adds avoidable overhead to the transmit path. It's fairly simple to let drivers indicate that they do not need rate control, but they need to fulfil a number of conditions that we encode in WARN_ONs.

2009-11-18mac80211: use fixed broadcast addressJohannes Berg6-19/+27
The netdev broadcast address cannot change from all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can instead hard-code it. Since we already have an instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it is marked static const, doing this reduces text size at no data/bss cost. The real motivation for this is, of course, the desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes easier.

2009-11-18mac80211: improve rate handlingJohannes Berg2-18/+18
Some code currently assumes that there's a valid rate pointer even in the HT case, but there can't be. To reduce reliance on that, remove the rate pointer from the RX data struct and pass it where it's needed. Also, for now, in radiotap announce HT frames as having a DYN channel type, and remove their rate from cooked monitor radiotap completely (it isn't present in the regular monitor radiotap either.)

It shouldn't be possible to get a michael MIC failure report on other frames, but it also doesn't hurt to verify.

2009-11-18mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfacesFelix Fietkau1-0/+5
In order to handle association and authentication in AP mode, hostapd needs access to the tx status info of its own frames through a cooked monitor interface. Without this patch the cooked monitor interfaces also passed on tx status information for packets from other virtual interfaces. This creates a significant performance issue on embedded system. Hostapd tries to work around this by installing a Linux Socket Filter that only captures the frames it's interested in, however data duplication and socket filter matching still uses up enough CPU cycles to be very noticeable on small systems. This patch ensures that tx status information of non-injected frames does not make it to cooked monitor interfaces. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
