Dan Carpenter c49dc9008b cfg80211: off by one in ieee80211_bss()
We do a:

	sprintf(buf, " Last beacon: %ums ago",
		elapsed_jiffies_msecs(bss->ts));

elapsed_jiffies_msecs() can return a 10 digit number so "buf" needs to
be 31 characters long.

Johannes Berg 9caf036402 cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access races
When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently
overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some
other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the
IEs concurrently.

Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct
that holds the data and length and protecting access
to this new struct with RCU.

Johannes Berg f94f8b168c cfg80211: fix cmp_hidden_bss
The cmp_bss() comparator function uses memcmp() to
compare the SSID. This means that cmp_hidden_bss()
needs to similarly return a number bigger than zero
(use 1) instead of -1 when ie1 is bigger than ie2,
which is the case if an ie2 byte is non-zero.

Johannes Berg 0172bb7507 cfg80211: use DS or HT operation IEs to determine BSS channel
Currently, mac80211 checks the DS params IE if present and
uses it for the (primary) BSS channel, instead of the one
that the frame was received on. This is particularly useful
in the 2.4 GHz band since a frame is often received on one
of the adjacent channels due to overlap.

Move this code to cfg80211 so other drivers also do this.

Additionally, on 5 GHz, in particular with some (possibly)
upcoming changes in 802.11ai and duplicate transmissions
when wider channels are used, something similar happens.
So if present, also use the (primary) channel information
contained in the HT operation IE.

Sam Leffler 15d6030b4b cfg80211: add support for flushing old scan results
Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache
entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for
collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume).

For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion
of a scan; i.e. it does not happen if the scan is aborted.
For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime
when we get new scan results.

This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by
unsetting the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSH flag.

Dmitry Tarnyagin dd9dfb9f95 cfg80211: merge in beacon ies of hidden bss.
The problem with PSM when a hidden SSID was used was originally
reported by Juuso Oikarinen.

 - When generally scanning, the AP is getting a bss entry with
   a zero SSID.
 - When associating, a probe-req is sent to the AP with the SSID,
   and as a result a probe-response is received with the hidden
   SSID in place. As a consequence, a second bss entry is created
   for the AP, now with the real SSID.
 - After association, mac80211 executes ieee80211_recalc_ps(),
   but does not switch to powersave because the beacon-ies are missing.

As result, the STA does not ever enter PSM.

The patch merges in beacon ies of hidden bss from beacon to the probe
response, creating a consistent set of ies in place.

Patch is depended on "cfg80211: fix cmp_ies" made by Johannes.

When multiple interfaces are actively trying
to associate with the same BSS, they may both
find that the BSS isn't there and then try to
unlink it. This can cause errors since the
unlinking code can't currently deal with items
that have already been unlinked.

Normally this doesn't happen as most people
don't try to use multiple station interfaces
that associate at the same time too.

Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to
see if the item is still on a list.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Jouni Malinen 34a6eddbab cfg80211: Store IEs from both Beacon and Probe Response frames
Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in
separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through
nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from
Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the
BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have
overridden the IEs from Beacon frames.

This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include
the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However,
there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could
be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would
be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least
some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include
the full IE only in Beacon frames).

The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE
sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the
previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the
new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

Alban Browaeys e60d7443e0 wireless : use a dedicated workqueue for cfg80211.
This patch moves the works cleanup, scan and events to a cfg80211
dedicated workqueue.

Platform driver like eeepc-laptop ought to use works to rfkill (as
new rfkill does lock in rfkill_unregister and the platform driver is
called from rfkill_switch_all which also lock the same mutex).
This raise a new issue in itself that the work scheduled by the platform
driver to the global worqueue calls wiphy_unregister which flush_work
scan and event works (which thus flush works on the global workqueue inside
a work on the global workqueue) and also put on hold the  wdev_cleanup_work
 (which prevents the dev_put on netdev thus indefinite Usage count error on
wifi device).

Johannes Berg 584991dccf cfg80211: validate scan channels
Currently it is possible to request a scan on only
disabled channels, which could be problematic for
some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore
disabled channels that are given. This resuls in
the scan begin/end event only including channels
that are actually used.

This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels
superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS
check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should
not find any networks on channels that cannot be
used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.

Johannes Berg 3d23e349d8 wext: refactor
Refactor wext to
 * split out iwpriv handling
 * split out iwspy handling
 * split out procfs support
 * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code
   w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT

After this, drivers need to
 - select WIRELESS_EXT	- for wext support
 - select WEXT_PRIV	- for iwpriv support
 - select WEXT_SPY	- for iwspy support

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core
(i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).
