wifi: cfg80211: optionally support monitor on disabled channels If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it possible for a driver to indicate such a thing. Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps some channels are not supported at all, but still there and marked disabled. In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable() will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.

wifi: cfg80211: add BSS usage reporting Sometimes there may be reasons for which a BSS that's actually found in scan cannot be used to connect to, for example a nonprimary link of an NSTR mobile AP MLD cannot be used for normal direct connections to it. Not indicating these to userspace as we do now of course avoids being able to connect to them, but it's better if they're shown to userspace and it can make an appropriate decision, without e.g. doing an additional ML probe. Thus add an indication of what a BSS can be used for, currently "normal" and "MLD link", including a reason bitmap for it being not usable. The latter can be extended later for certain BSSes if there are other reasons they cannot be used.

wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use My prior race fix here broke CQM when ranges aren't used, as the reporting worker now requires the cqm_config to be set in the wdev, but isn't set when there's no range configured. Rather than continuing to special-case the range version, set the cqm_config always and configure accordingly, also tracking if range was used or not to be able to clear the configuration appropriately with the same API, which was actually not right if both were implemented by a driver for some reason, as is the case with mac80211 (though there the implementations are equivalent so it doesn't matter.) Also, the original multiple-RSSI commit lost checking for the callback, so might have potentially crashed if a driver had neither implementation, and userspace tried to use it despite not being advertised as supported.

wifi: cfg80211: fix cqm_config access race Max Schulze reports crashes with brcmfmac. The reason seems to be a race between userspace removing the CQM config and the driver calling cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify(), where if the data is freed while cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify() runs it will crash since it assumes wdev->cqm_config is set. This can't be fixed with a simple non-NULL check since there's nothing we can do for locking easily, so use RCU instead to protect the pointer, but that requires pulling the updates out into an asynchronous worker so they can sleep and call back into the driver. Since we need to change the free anyway, also change it to go back to the old settings if changing the settings fails.

wifi: cfg80211: do some rework towards MLO link APIs In order to support multi-link operation with multiple links, start adding some APIs. The notable addition here is to have the link ID in a new nl80211 attribute, that will be used to differentiate the links in many nl80211 operations. So far, this patch adds the netlink NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID attribute (as well as the NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS attribute) and plugs it through the system in some places, checking the validity etc. along with other infrastructure needed for it. For now, I've decided to include only the over-the-air link ID in the API. I know we discussed that we eventually need to have to have other ways of identifying a link, but for local AP mode and auth/assoc commands as well as set_key etc. we'll use the OTA ID. Also included in this patch is some refactoring of the data structures in struct wireless_dev, splitting for the first time the data into type dependent pieces, to make reasoning about these things easier.

cfg80211: fix management registrations locking The management registrations locking was broken, the list was locked for each wdev, but cfg80211_mgmt_registrations_update() iterated it without holding all the correct spinlocks, causing list corruption. Rather than trying to fix it with fine-grained locking, just move the lock to the wiphy/rdev (still need the list on each wdev), we already need to hold the wdev lock to change it, so there's no contention on the lock in any case. This trivially fixes the bug since we hold one wdev's lock already, and now will hold the lock that protects all lists.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock contention on that. Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get parallel calls for a single device). Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

nl80211: validate key indexes for cfg80211_registered_device syzbot discovered a bug in which an OOB access was being made because an unsuitable key_idx value was wrongly considered to be acceptable while deleting a key in nl80211_del_key(). Since we don't know the cipher at the time of deletion, if cfg80211_validate_key_settings() were to be called directly in nl80211_del_key(), even valid keys would be wrongly determined invalid, and deletion wouldn't occur correctly. For this reason, a new function - cfg80211_valid_key_idx(), has been created, to determine if the key_idx value provided is valid or not. cfg80211_valid_key_idx() is directly called in 2 places - nl80211_del_key(), and cfg80211_validate_key_settings().

cfg80211: initialize wdev data earlier There's a race condition in the netdev registration in that NETDEV_REGISTER actually happens after the netdev is available, and so if we initialize things only there, we might get called with an uninitialized wdev through nl80211 - not using a wdev but using a netdev interface index. I found this while looking into a syzbot report, but it doesn't really seem to be related, and unfortunately there's no repro for it (yet). I can't (yet) explain how it managed to get into cfg80211_release_pmsr() from nl80211_netlink_notify() without the wdev having been initialized, as the latter only iterates the wdevs that are linked into the rdev, which even without the change here happened after init. However, looking at this, it seems fairly clear that the init needs to be done earlier, otherwise we might even re-init on a netns move, when data might still be pending.

cfg80211: fix management registrations deadlock Lockdep reports that we may deadlock because we take the RTNL on the work struct, but flush it under RTNL. Clearly, it's correct. In practice, this can happen when doing rfkill on an active device. Fix this by moving the work struct to the wiphy (registered dev) layer, and iterate over all the wdevs inside there. This then means we need to track which one of them has work to do, so we don't update to the driver for all wdevs all the time. Also fix a locking bug I noticed while working on this - the registrations list is iterated as if it was an RCU list, but it isn't handle that way - and we need to lock now for the update flag anyway, so remove the RCU.

cfg80211: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

cfg80211: change internal management frame registration API Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter. This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers. Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211 as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and can free things immediately.

Note that it is expected that user space would intelligently register for Rx authentication frames, i.e., only when PASN is used and configure a match filter only for PASN authentication algorithm, as otherwise the MLME functionality of mac80211 would be broken.

In the case of hardware rfkill this will be wrong though, as if the hardware reported being killed then it cannot operate any longer. Since we only ever call the rfkill_sync work in this case, just rename it to rfkill_block and always pass "true" for the blocked parameter, rather than passing rfkill_blocked().

cfg80211: fix duplicated scan entries after channel switch When associated BSS completes channel switch procedure, its channel record needs to be updated. The existing mac80211 solution was extended to cfg80211 in commit 5dc8cdce1d72 ("mac80211/cfg80211: update bss channel on channel switch"). However that solution still appears to be incomplete as it may lead to duplicated scan entries for associated BSS after channel switch. The root cause of the problem is as follows. Each BSS entry is included into the following data structures: - bss list rdev->bss_list - bss search tree rdev->bss_tree Updating BSS channel record without rebuilding bss_tree may break tree search since cmp_bss considers all of the following: channel, bssid, ssid. When BSS channel is updated, but its location in bss_tree is not updated, then subsequent search operations may fail to locate this BSS since they will be traversing bss_tree in wrong direction. As a result, for scan performed after associated BSS channel switch, cfg80211_bss_update may add the second entry for the same BSS to both bss_list and bss_tree, rather then update the existing one. To summarize, if BSS channel needs to be updated, then bss_tree should be rebuilt in order to put updated BSS entry into a proper location. This commit suggests the following straightforward solution: - if new entry has been already created for BSS after channel switch, then use its IEs to update known BSS entry and then remove new entry completely - use rb_erase/rb_insert_bss reinstall updated BSS in bss_tree - for nontransmit BSS entry, the whole transmit BSS hierarchy is updated Signed-off-by: Sergey Matyukevich <sergey.matyukevich.os@quantenna.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190726163922.27509-3-sergey.matyukevich.os@quantenna.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: Handle bss expiry during connection If the BSS is expired during connection, the connect result will trigger a kernel warning. Ideally cfg80211 should hold the BSS before the connection is attempted, but as the BSSID is not known in case of auth/assoc MLME offload (connect op) it doesn't. For those drivers without the connect op cfg80211 holds down the reference so it wil not be removed from list. Fix this by removing the warning and silently adding the BSS back to the bss list which is return by the driver (with proper BSSID set) or in case the BSS is already added use that. The requirements for drivers are documented in the API's.

cfg80211: add peer measurement with FTM initiator API Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig. The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform. Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final complete message. Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running measurement. v3: - add a bit to report "final" for partial results - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results to the requester (big code reduction ...) - also send complete message unicast, and as a result remove the multicast group - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer - document timeout == 0 if no timeout - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0, must not include attribute for no timeout - make MAC address randomization optional - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather rather than the old default of 15==don't care) v4: - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation v5: - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst" v6: - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any pending measurements v7: - wording fixes (Lior) - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior) v8: - copyright statements - minor coding style fixes - fix error path leak Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

In cases that the driver supports 4 way handshake offload, but the 802.1X authentication is managed by user space, the driver needs to inform user space right after the 802.11 association was completed so user space can initialize its 802.1X state machine etc. However, it is also possible that the AP will choose to skip the 802.1X authentication (e.g. when PMKSA caching is used) and proceed with the 4 way handshake immediately. In this case the driver needs to inform user space that 802.1X authentication is no longer required (e.g. to prevent user space from disconnecting since it did not get any EAPOLs from the AP). This is also useful for roaming, in which case it is possible that the driver used the Fast Transition protocol so 802.1X is not required. Since there will now be a dedicated notification indicating that the connection is authorized, the authorized flag can be removed from the roamed event. Drivers can send the new port authorized event right after sending the roamed event to indicate the new AP is already authorized. This therefore reserves the old PORT_AUTHORIZED attribute.

nl80211: allow multiple active scheduled scan requests This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is treated as a legacy scan. Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

cfg80211: Make pre-CAC results valid only for ETSI domain DFS requirement for ETSI domain (section 4.7.1.4 in ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1) is the only one which explicitly states that once DFS channel is marked as available afer the CAC, this channel will remain in available state even moving to a different operating channel. But the same is not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement. Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available state is same as described in ETSI domain. For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI thresholds for CQM Change the SET CQM command's RSSI threshold attribute to accept any number of thresholds as a sorted array. The API should be backwards compatible so that if one s32 threshold value is passed, the old mechanism is enabled. The netlink event generated is the same in both cases. cfg80211 handles an arbitrary number of RSSI thresholds but drivers have to provide a method (set_cqm_rssi_range_config) that configures a range set by a high and a low value. Drivers have to call back when the RSSI goes out of that range and there's no additional event for each time the range is reconfigured as there was with the current one-threshold API. This method doesn't have a hysteresis parameter because there's no benefit to the cfg80211 code from having the hysteresis be handled by hardware/driver in terms of the number of wakeups. At the same time it would likely be less consistent between drivers if offloaded or done in the drivers.

cfg80211/mac80211: fix BSS leaks when abandoning assoc attempts When mac80211 abandons an association attempt, it may free all the data structures, but inform cfg80211 and userspace about it only by sending the deauth frame it received, in which case cfg80211 has no link to the BSS struct that was used and will not cfg80211_unhold_bss() it. Fix this by providing a way to inform cfg80211 of this with the BSS entry passed, so that it can clean up properly, and use this ability in the appropriate places in mac80211. This isn't ideal: some code is more or less duplicated and tracing is missing. However, it's a fairly small change and it's thus easier to backport - cleanups can come later.

Limit the number of BSS table entries we're willing to cache to 1000, limiting maximum memory usage to maybe 4-5MB, but lower in practice - that would be the case for having both full-sized beacon and probe response frames for each entry; this seems not possible in practice, so a limit of 1000 entries will likely be closer to 0.5 MB.

nl80211: support beacon report scanning Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

cfg80211: Allow cfg80211_connect_result() errors to be distinguished Previously, the status parameter to cfg80211_connect_result() was documented as using WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE (1) when the real status code for the failure is not known. This value can be used by an AP (and often is) and as such, user space cannot distinguish between explicitly rejected authentication/association and not being able to even try to associate or not receiving a response from the AP. Add a new inline function, cfg80211_connect_timeout(), to be used when the driver knows that the connection attempt failed due to a reason where connection could not be attempt or no response was received from the AP. The internal functions now allow a negative status value (-1) to be used as an indication of this special case. This results in the NL80211_ATTR_TIMED_OUT to be added to the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT event to allow user space to determine this case was hit. For backwards compatibility, NL80211_STATUS_CODE with the value WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE is still indicated in the event in such a case.

cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnect When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect(). This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant, for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function. Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at false, which is the current behaviour. For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.

cfg80211: allow wiphy specific regdomain management Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain changes/updates for its own wiphy. A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible with non-locally originated hints. A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on its wiphy only. After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get a new type of change notification. The regulatory core also takes care enforce regulatory restrictions, in case some interfaces are on forbidden channels.

cfg80211: allow userspace to take ownership of interfaces When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage, such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e. wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process. To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such interfaces. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: send stop AP event only due to internal reason Commit "nl80211: send event when AP operation is stopped" added an event to notify user space that an AP interface has been stopped, to handle cases such as suspend etc. The event is sent regardless if the stop AP flow was triggered by user space or due to internal state change. This might cause issues with wpa_supplicant/hostapd flows that consider stop AP flow as a synchronous one, e.g., AP/GO channel change in the absence of CSA support. In such cases, the flow will restart the AP immediately after the stop AP flow is done, and only handle the stop AP event after the current flow is done, and as a result stop the AP again. Change the current implementation to only send the event in case the stop AP was triggered due to an internal reason.

cfg80211: send scan results from work queue 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.

cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS join When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid only. With the current approach if another cell having the same BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211 picks up the wrong BSS object. The result is a mismatching channel configuration between cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of problem. The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on given channel and then asking the driver to create a new cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency. By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object. All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed accordingly. Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

cfg80211: don't "leak" uncompleted scans ___cfg80211_scan_done() can be called in some cases (e.g. on NETDEV_DOWN) before the low level driver notified scan completion (which is indicated by passing leak=true). Clearing rdev->scan_req in this case is buggy, as scan_done_wk might have already being queued/running (and can't be flushed as it takes rtnl()). If a new scan will be requested at this stage, the scan_done_wk will try freeing it (instead of the previous scan), and this will later result in a use after free. Simply remove the "leak" option, and replace it with a standard WARN_ON.

cfg80211/nl80211: Add packet coalesce support In most cases, host that receives IPv4 and IPv6 multicast/broadcast packets does not do anything with these packets. Therefore the reception of these unwanted packets causes unnecessary processing and power consumption. Packet coalesce feature helps to reduce number of received interrupts to host by buffering these packets in firmware/hardware for some predefined time. Received interrupt will be generated when one of the following events occur. a) Expiration of hardware timer whose expiration time is set to maximum coalescing delay of matching coalesce rule. b) Coalescing buffer in hardware reaches it's limit. c) Packet doesn't match any of the configured coalesce rules. This patch adds set/get configuration support for packet coalesce. User needs to configure following parameters for creating a coalesce rule. a) Maximum coalescing delay b) List of packet patterns which needs to be matched c) Condition for coalescence. pattern 'match' or 'no match' Multiple such rules can be created. This feature needs to be advertised during driver initialization. Drivers are supposed to do required firmware/hardware settings based on user configuration.

cfg80211: separate internal SME implementation The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been causing issues for a long time. There are three things that the implementation has to provide: * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect() call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is really just mac80211) and wireless extensions * MLME events for the userspace SME * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all different SME implementation possibilities (driver, cfg80211 and userspace) To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the software SME's connection status outside of it's state (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead, track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the general case only track whether the wdev is connected or not (via wdev->current_bss.) Also separate the internal implementation to not have callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211) calls. This separates the code better. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-space Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver.

To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed).

nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configuration Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

cfg80211: reduce monitor interface tracking Revert commit b78e8ceac23655e1e06b30aa95ab11742d1ac7c0 ("cfg80211: track monitor channel") and remove the set_monitor_enabled() callback. Due to the tracking happening in NETDEV_PRE_UP, it had introduced bugs because the monitor interface callback would be called before the device was started. It looks like there's no way to fix this, and using NETDEV_PRE_UP is broken anyway (since there's no NETDEV_UP_FAIL), so remove all that code, track interfaces in NETDEV_UP and also stop tracking the monitor channel in cfg80211. This mostly reverts to before the tracking, except that we keep the interface count tracking so that setting the monitor channel can be rejected properly.

As libertas uses mesh mode interfaces but has no join_mesh callback and we can't simply break it, keep some compatibility code for that case and configure the channel directly for it.

cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated state To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

This would result in the following WARN-ON() along with the failure to notify the user space of the roaming. The other situation which is happening with ath6kl that runs into issue is when the driver reports roam to same AP event where the AP bss entry already got expired.

cfg80211: Use consistent BSS matching between scan and sme cfg80211 scan code adds separate BSS entries if the same BSS shows up on multiple channels. However, sme implementation does not use the frequency when fetching the BSS entry. Fix this by adding channel information to cfg80211_roamed() and include it in cfg80211_get_bss() calls. Please note that drivers using cfg80211_roamed() need to be modified to fully implement this fix. This commit includes only minimal changes to avoid compilation issues; it maintains the old (broken) behavior for most drivers. ath6kl was the only one that I could test, so I updated it to provide the operating frequency in the roamed event.

cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

cfg80211/mac80211: avoid bounce back mac->cfg->mac on sched_scan_stopped When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211. To help with locking issues, the workqueue was moved from cfg80211 to mac80211.

cfg80211/nl80211: add support for scheduled scans Implement new functionality for scheduled scan offload. With this feature we can scan automatically at certain intervals. The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily. Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN commands to the nl80211 interface. When results are available they are reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events. The userspace is informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassoc cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements, user space applications may need to clear authentication or association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other deauth/disassoc operations being completed. Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

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.

This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed.

To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.

cfg80211: use reassociation when possible With the move of everything related to the SME from mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips.

cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory enforcement and connection stability, in that it is possible to switch the channel while connected to a network or joined to an IBSS. The problem comes from the fact that we only validate the channel against the current interface's type, not against any other interface. Thus, you have any type of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This will obviously also switch the channel on the other interface. The problem now is that if you do that while sending beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing. Combined with a managed mode interface connected to an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily break the connection that way. To fix this, this patch validates any channel change with all available interfaces, and disallows such changes on secondary interfaces if another interface is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.

cfg80211: keep track of current_bss for userspace SME When a userspace SME is active, we're currently not keeping track of the BSS properly for reporting the current link and for internal use. Additionally, it looks like there is a possible BSS leak in that the BSS never gets removed from auth_bsses[]. To fix it, pass the BSS struct to __cfg80211_connect_result in this case.

cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces In order to make cfg80211/nl80211 aware of network namespaces, we have to do the following things: * del_virtual_intf method takes an interface index rather than a netdev pointer - simply change this * nl80211 uses init_net a lot, it changes to use the sender's network namespace * scan requests use the interface index, hold a netdev pointer and reference instead * we want a wiphy and its associated virtual interfaces to be in one netns together, so - we need to be able to change ns for a given interface, so export dev_change_net_namespace() - for each virtual interface set the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag, and clear that flag only when the wiphy changes ns, to disallow breaking this invariant * when a network namespace goes away, we need to reparent the wiphy to init_net * cfg80211 users that support creating virtual interfaces must create them in the wiphy's namespace, currently this affects only mac80211 The end result is that you can now switch an entire wiphy into a different network namespace with the new command iw phy#<idx> set netns <pid> and all virtual interfaces will follow (or the operation fails).

cfg80211: rework key operation This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.

cfg80211: fix locking Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against leaving an IBSS, etc. Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects most of the per-interface data that we need to keep track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to work structs so that we don't require being able to sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like mac80211 anyway... In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will determine locking requirements.

cfg80211: introduce nl80211 testmode command This introduces a new NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE for testing and calibration use with nl80211. There's no multiplexing like like iwpriv had, and the command is not available by default, it needs to be explicitly enabled in Kconfig and shouldn't be enabled in most kernels. The command requires a wiphy index or interface index to identify the device to operate on, and the new TESTDATA attribute. There also is API for sending replies to the command, and testmode multicast messages (on a testmode multicast group). I've also updated mac80211 to be able to pass through the command to the driver, since it itself doesn't implement the testmode command. Additionally, to give people an idea of how to use the command, I've added a little code to hwsim that makes use of the new command to set the powersave mode, this is currently done via debugfs and should remain there, and the testmode command only serves as an example of how to use this best -- with nested netlink attributes in the TESTDATA attribute. A hwsim testmode tool can be found at http://git.sipsolutions.net/hwsim.git/. This tool is BSD licensed so people can easily use it as a basis for their own internal fabrication and validation tools.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

[WIRELESS] cfg80211: New wireless config infrastructure. This patch creates the core cfg80211 code along with some sysfs bits. This is a stripped down version to allow mac80211 to function, but doesn't include any configuration yet except for creating and removing virtual interfaces. This patch includes the nl80211 header file but it only contains the interface types which the cfg80211 interface for creating virtual interfaces relies on.
