Jouni Malinen 3f77316c6b nl80211: Add IEEE 802.1X PAE control for station mode
Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to
allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port
in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port
authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag
was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only
with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure
configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to
control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that
we are already doing in AP mode).

Johannes Berg eccb8e8f0c nl80211: improve station flags handling
It is currently not possible to modify station flags, but that
capability would be very useful. This patch introduces a new
nl80211 attribute that contains a set/mask for station flags,
and updates the internal API (and mac80211) to mirror that.

The new attribute is parsed before falling back to the old so
that userspace can specify both (if it can) to work on all
kernels.

Jouni Malinen 0e46724a48 nl80211: Validate MFP flag type when parsing STA flags
NL80211_STA_FLAG_MFP was forgotten from sta_flags_policy. The previous
version added the flag due to the loop used in parse_station_flags,
but the proper behavior would be to allow nla_parse_nested() to go
through the policy for all flags.

Johannes Berg 08645126dd cfg80211: implement wext key handling
Move key handling wireless extension ioctls from mac80211 to cfg80211
so that all drivers that implement the cfg80211 operations get wext
compatibility.

Note that this drops the SIOCGIWENCODE ioctl support for getting
IW_ENCODE_RESTRICTED/IW_ENCODE_OPEN. This means that iwconfig will
no longer report "Security mode:open" or "Security mode:restricted"
for mac80211. However, what we displayed there (the authentication
algo used) was actually wrong -- linux/wireless.h states that this
setting is meant to differentiate between "Refuse non-encoded packets"
and "Accept non-encoded packets".

(Combined with "cfg80211: fix a couple of bugs with key ioctls". -- JWL)

Jouni Malinen dc6382ced0 nl80211 : Add support for configuring MFP
NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE request must be able to indicate whether
management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is being used. mac80211 was
able to use MFP in client mode only with WEXT, but the new
NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute will allow this to be done with
nl80211, too.

Since we are currently using nl80211 for MFP only with drivers that
use user space SME, only MFP disabled and required values are
used. However, the NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute is an enum that can
be extended with MFP optional in the future, if that is needed with
some drivers (e.g., if the RSN IE is generated by the driver).

This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers.
The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them
from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS.

The nl80211 API requires
 * an SSID
 * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS
   has to be created

It optionally supports
 * a flag to fix the channel
 * a fixed BSSID

The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before
the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it
also caches values when the interface is down and instructs
the driver to join when the interface is set up.

Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be

This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive.

Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when
mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed
to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a
requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not
really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from
mac80211, but it could be added at some point.

Johannes Berg 4bbf4d5658 cfg80211: fix locking in nl80211_set_wiphy
Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the

is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy

rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so

The functionality that NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE provided can now

Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or
known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and
taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE
processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order
in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove
the implementation of this command for now. The enum values themselves
are left to avoid changing the nl80211 command or attribute numbers.

Jouni Malinen 636a5d3625 nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.

The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).

The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.

The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.

This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

(Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in

MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.

This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
SME.

Luis R. Rodriguez 3f2355cb91 cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

Luis R. Rodriguez b2e1b30290 cfg80211: Add new wireless regulatory infrastructure
This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:

* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel

We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.

Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.

Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.

For more information see:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA

For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

Julius Volz b46372710a net/wireless/nl80211.c: fix endless Netlink callback loop.
Although I only tested similar code (I don't use any of this wireless
code), the state maintainance between Netlink dump callback invocations
seems wrong here and should lead to an endless loop. There are also other
examples in the same file which might have the same problem. Perhaps someone
can actually test this (or refute my logic).

Take the simple example with only one element in the list (which should fit
into the message):

1. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 0
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 0) => false
    => no continue, fill one entry, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

2. invocation:
  Start:
    idx = 0, start = 1
  Loop:
    condition (++idx < start) => (1 < 1) => false
    => no continue, fill the same entry again, exit loop, return skb->len > 0

3. invocation:
  Same as 2. invocation, endless invocation of callback.

Also, iterations where the filling of an element fails should not be counted as
completed, so idx should not be incremented in this case.
