wifi: wilc1000: add missing read critical sections around vif list traversal

Some code manipulating the vif list is still missing some srcu_read_lock /

wifi: wilc1000: use SRCU instead of RCU for vif list traversal

Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST raises many warnings in wilc driver, even on
some places already protected by a read critical section. An example of
such case is in wilc_get_available_idx:

=============================

This warning is due to the section being protected by a srcu critical read
section, but the list traversal being done with classic RCU API. Fix the
warning by using corresponding SRCU read lock/unlock APIs. While doing so,
since we always manipulate the same list (managed through a pointer
embedded in struct_wilc), add a macro to reduce the corresponding
boilerplate in each call site.

David Mosberger-Tan initial investigation [1] showed that this
use-after-free is due to netdevice unregistration during vif list
traversal. When unregistering a net device, since the needs_free_netdev has
been set to true during registration, the netdevice object is also freed,
and as a consequence, the corresponding vif object too, since it is
attached to it as private netdevice data. The next occurrence of the loop
then tries to access freed vif pointer to the list to move forward in the
list.

Fix this use-after-free thanks to two mechanisms:
- navigate in the list with list_for_each_entry_safe, which allows to
safely modify the list as we go through each element. For each element,
remove it from the list with list_del_rcu
- make sure to wait for RCU grace period end after each vif removal to make
sure it is safe to free the corresponding vif too (through
unregister_netdev)

Since we are in a RCU "modifier" path (not a "reader" path), and because
such path is expected not to be concurrent to any other modifier (we are
using the vif_mutex lock), we do not need to use RCU list API, that's why
we can benefit from list_for_each_entry_safe.

wifi: wilc1000: set preamble size to auto as default in wilc_init_fw_config()

WILC driver currently applies some default configuration whenever the firmware
is initialized, and sets the default preamble size to short. However, despite
this passed option, firmware is also able to successfully connect to access
points only using long preamble, so this setting does not really enforce short
preambles and is misleading regarding applied configuration.

Update default configuration and make it match the firmware behavior by passing
the existing WILC_FW_PREAMBLE_AUTO value (2 instead of 0). The updated setting
does not really alter firmware behavior since it is still capable to connect to
both short preamble and long preamble access points, but at list the setting now
expresses for real the corresponding firmware behavior.

More info: it has been implemented to address the transmission (Tx) blackout
issue observed in the 802.11b mode. The modification has no impact on the other
modes, which will continue to work as they did in the previous implementation.
This change will allow the 802.11b transmission (2, 5.5, 11Mbps) to use long
preamble.

wifi: wilc1000: do not realloc workqueue everytime an interface is added

Commit 09ed8bfc5215 ("wilc1000: Rename workqueue from "WILC_wq" to
"NETDEV-wq"") moved workqueue creation in wilc_netdev_ifc_init in order to
set the interface name in the workqueue name. However, while the driver
needs only one workqueue, the wilc_netdev_ifc_init is called each time we
add an interface over a phy, which in turns overwrite the workqueue with a
new one. This can be observed with the following commands:

for i in $(seq 0 10)
do
iw phy phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed
iw dev wlan1 del
done
ps -eo pid,comm|grep wlan

39 kworker/R-wlan0
98 kworker/R-wlan1
102 kworker/R-wlan1
105 kworker/R-wlan1
108 kworker/R-wlan1
111 kworker/R-wlan1
114 kworker/R-wlan1
117 kworker/R-wlan1
120 kworker/R-wlan1
123 kworker/R-wlan1
126 kworker/R-wlan1
129 kworker/R-wlan1

Fix this leakage by putting back hif_workqueue allocation in
wilc_cfg80211_init. Regarding the workqueue name, it is indeed relevant to
set it lowercase, however it is not attached to a specific netdev, so
enforcing netdev name in the name is not so relevant. Still, enrich the
name with the wiphy name to make it clear which phy is using the workqueue.

The problem is that wilc_netdev_cleanup() function frees "wilc->bus_data".
That's confusing and a layering violation. Leave the frees in probe(),
delete the free in wilc_netdev_cleanup(), and add some new frees to the

This follows normal Linux convention and is more useful since the new
name will make it apparent which network device the work-queue is for
(e.g., the name will be "wlan0-wq" for network device "wlan0").

hif_workqueue allocation has to move from
cfg80211.c:wilc_cfg80211_init() to netdev.c:wilc_netdev_ifc_init()
because the network device name is not known until after the netdev is
registered. The move also makes sense because netdev.c is already
responsible for destroying the work queue when it is no longer needed.

wilc1000: Rename irq handler from "WILC_IRQ" to netdev name

This change follows normal Linux convention and the new name is more
useful since it'll be clear which irq handler statistics correspond to
which net device.

wilc1000: Bring MAC address setting in line with typical Linux behavior

Linux network drivers normally disallow changing the MAC address when
the interface is up. This driver has been different in that it allows
to change the MAC address *only* when it's up. This patch brings
wilc1000 behavior more in line with other network drivers. We could
have replaced wilc_set_mac_addr() with eth_mac_addr() but that would
break existing documentation on how to change the MAC address.
Likewise, return -EADDRNOTAVAIL (not -EINVAL) when the specified MAC
address is invalid or unavailable.

wilc1000: Fix use of void pointer as a wrong struct type

ac_classify() expects a struct sk_buff* as its second argument, which is
a member of struct tx_complete_data. priv happens to be a pointer to
struct tx_complete_data, so passing it directly to ac_classify() leads
to wrong behaviour and occasional panics.

Since there is only one caller of wilc_wlan_txq_add_net_pkt and it
already knows the type behind this pointer, and the structure is already
in the header file, change the function signature to use the real type
instead of void* in order to prevent confusion.

cfg80211: change netdev registration/unregistration semantics

We used to not require anything in terms of registering netdevs
with cfg80211, using a netdev notifier instead. However, in the
next patch reducing RTNL locking, this causes big problems, and
the simplest way is to just require drivers to do things better.

Change the registration/unregistration semantics to require the
drivers to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is
happening due to a cfg80211 request, i.e. add_virtual_intf() or
del_virtual_intf() (or if it somehow has to happen in any other
cfg80211 callback).

Otherwise, in other contexts, drivers may continue to use the
normal netdev (un)registration functions as usual.

Internally, we still use the netdev notifier and track (by the
new wdev->registered bool) if the wdev had already been added
to cfg80211 or not.

wilc1000: move wilc driver out of staging

WILC1000 is an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n IoT link controller module. The
WILC1000 connects to Microchip AVR/SMART MCUs, SMART MPUs, and other
processors with minimal resource requirements with a simple
SPI/SDIO-to-Wi-Fi interface.

WILC1000 driver has been part of staging for few years. With
contributions from the community, it has improved significantly. Full
driver review has helped in achieving the current state.
The details for those reviews are captured in 1 & 2.
