The driver concatenates multiple packets in one MMC transfer. For scatter-gather to work the total length need to be multiple of 512 bytes. A pre-allocated buffer was used to add padding to accomplish that. However, the length was not properly set and it was freed after the first transfer causing a crash.

We check tid->sched without a lock taken on ath_tx_aggr_sleep().

We are sending sleep confirm done interrupt in the middle of sleep handshake. There is a corner case when Tx done interrupt is received from firmware during sleep handshake due to which host and firmware power states go out of sync causing cmd and Tx data timeout problem. Hence sleep confirm done interrupt is sent at the end of sleep handshake to fix the problem.

Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario: 1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver 2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered) 3) station wakes up again 4) driver unblocks wakeup In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following: 1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set 2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set 3) - nothing - 4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end(). Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432d ("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path. While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which means that (for example) the following can happen: 1. a station connects and is added 2. first, it is added to the driver 3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was present yet. Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA sessions in the meantime.

Emmanuel Grumbach authored
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad77 "MIPS: Fix potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used. For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA is performed on them. To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make them match cache line. This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA, what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187 driver.

In original code the old RX DMA buffer is unmapped and processed and at the end of the isr a new buffer is mapped with pci_map_single and attached to the RX descriptor. If pci_map_single fails then the RX descriptor remains with no valid DMA buffer attached. In this condition the DMA will target where it shouldn't with obvious evil consequences. Simply avoiding re-arming the descriptor will prevent buggy DMA but it will result soon in RX stuck. This patch move the DMA mapping of the new buffer at the beginning of the ISR (and it adds error check for pci_map_single success/fail). If the DMA mapping fails then we do not unmap the old buffer and we re-arm the descriptor without processing it, with the old DMA buffer still attached. In this way we lose the currently RX-ed packet, but whenever next calls to pci_map_single will succeed again,then the RX process will go on without stuck.

The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

Currently, when a station leaves an IBSS network, the corresponding BSS is not dropped from cfg80211 if there are other active stations in the network. But, the small window that is present when trying to determine a station's status based on IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_INTERVAL introduces a race. Instead of trying to keep the BSS, always remove it when leaving an IBSS network. There is not much benefit to retain the BSS entry since it will be added with a subsequent join operation. This fixes an issue where a dangling BSS entry causes ath9k to wait for a beacon indefinitely.

Due to the previous commit, when a scan finishes, it is in theory possible to hit the following sequence: 1. interface starts being removed 2. scan is cancelled by driver and cfg80211 is notified 3. scan done work is scheduled 4. interface is removed completely, rdev->scan_req is freed, event sent to userspace but scan done work remains pending 5. new scan is requested on another virtual interface 6. scan done work runs, freeing the still-running scan To fix this situation, hang on to the scan done message and block new scans while that is the case, and only send the message from the work function, regardless of whether the scan_req is already freed from interface removal. This makes step 5 above impossible and changes step 6 to be 5. scan done work runs, sending the scan done message As this can't work for wext, so we send the message immediately, but this shouldn't be an issue since we still return -EBUSY.

When an interface/wdev is removed, any ongoing scan should be cancelled by the driver. This will make it call cfg80211, which only queues a work struct. If interface/wdev removal is quick enough, this can leave the scan request pending and processed only after the interface is gone, causing a use-after-free. Fix this by making sure the scan request is not pending after the interface is destroyed. We can't flush or cancel the work item due to locking concerns, but when it'll run it shouldn't find anything to do. This leaves a potential issue, if a new scan gets requested before the work runs, it prematurely stops the running scan, potentially causing another crash. I'll fix that in the next patch. This was particularly observed with P2P_DEVICE wdevs, likely because freeing them is quicker than freeing netdevs. Reported-by: Andrei Otcheretianski <andrei.otcheretianski@intel.com> Fixes: 4a58e7c3 ("cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

sdata->u.ap.request_smps_work can’t be flushed synchronously under wdev_lock(wdev) since ieee80211_request_smps_ap_work itself locks the same lock.

ieee80211_start_roc_work() might add a new roc to existing roc, and tell cfg80211 it has already started. However, this might happen before the roc cookie was set, resulting in REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL (started) event with null cookie. Consequently, it can make wpa_supplicant go out of sync. Fix it by setting the roc cookie earlier. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init, PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.

mac80211 ->sta_rc_update() callback must be atomic. Since we have to take mutex and do other operations that can sleep when sending fimrware commands to device, the only option to satisfy atomicity requirement of ->sta_rc_update(), that I can see, is introduce work_struct and defer uploading new rates to that work.
