c9c99f8938 mac80211: act upon and report deauth while associating
When trying to associate, the AP could send a deauth frame instead.
Currently mac80211 drops that frame and doesn't report it to the
supplicant, which, in some versions and/or in certain circumstances
will simply keep trying to associate over and over again instead of
trying authentication again.

Fix this by reacting to deauth frames while associating, reporting
them to the supplicant and dropping the association attempt (which
is bound to fail.)

f7959e9c73 net: rfkill: gpio: make better use of gpiod API
Since 39b2bbe3d7 (gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions)
which appeared in v3.17-rc1, the gpiod_get* functions take an additional
parameter that allows to specify direction and initial value for output.

Furthermore there is devm_gpiod_get_optional which is designed to get
optional gpios.

Simplify driver accordingly.

Note this makes error checking more strict because only -ENOENT is
ignored when searching for the GPIOs which is good.

6cbfb1bb66 cfg80211: ignore netif running state when changing iftype
It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an
unexpected flow causing sdata union to become
corrupted. Station pointer was put into
sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was
really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This
led to station entry being later freed as
next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in
ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid
pointer dereference crash.

The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr
wasn't cleared on interface type changes.

This could be reproduced with the following steps:

 # host A and host B have just booted; no
 # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down
 host A> iw wlan0 set type station
 host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
 host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf
 host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf
 host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
 host B> ifconfig wlan0 up
 host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid
 host A> pkill hostapd
 # host A crashed:

ab499db80f mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruption
There was a possible race between
ieee80211_reconfig() and
ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could
result in inability to transmit data if driver
crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent
skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared.

This race was probably never seen in the wild
because a device driver would have to crash AND
recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely.

I was able to prove this race exists after
changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing
ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK
rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below
0. This was harmless but other drivers which
actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or
MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead
of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom
failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs
appropriately anymore.

80279fb7ba 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.

c5a71688e1 mac80211: disconnect TDLS stations on STA CSA
When a station does a channel switch, it's not well defined what its TDLS
peers would do. Avoid a situation when the local side marks a potentially
disconnected peer as a TDLS peer.
Keeping peers connected through CSA is doubly problematic with the upcoming
TDLS WIDER-BW feature which allows peers to widen the BSS channel. The
new channel transitioned-to might not be compatible and would require
a re-negotiation anyway.

Make sure to disallow new TDLS link during CSA.

464daaf04c mac80211: check fast-xmit on station change
Drivers with fast-xmit (e.g. ath10k) running in
AP_VLAN setups would fail to communicate with
connected 4addr stations.

The reason was when new station associates it
first goes into master AP interface. It is not
until later that a dedicated AP_VLAN is created
for it and the station itself is moved there.
After that Tx directed at the station should use
4addr header. However fast-xmit wasn't
recalculated and 3addr header remained to be used.
This in turn caused the connected 4addr stations
to drop packets coming from the AP until some
other event would cause fast-xmit to recalculate
for that station (which could never come).

be69c24a18 cfg80211: Allow GO concurrent relaxation after BSS disconnection
If a P2P GO was allowed on a channel because of the GO concurrent
relaxation, i.e., another station interface was associated to an AP on
the same channel or the same UNII band, and the station interface
disconnected from the AP, allow the following use cases unless the
channel is marked as indoor only and the device is not operating in an
indoor environment:

1. Allow the P2P GO to stay on its current channel. The rationale behind
   this is that if the channel or UNII band were allowed by the AP they
   could still be used to continue the P2P GO operation, and avoid connection
   breakage.
2. Allow another P2P GO to start on the same channel or another channel
   that is in the same UNII band as the previous instantiated P2P GO.

When power save is enabled this can cause problems, since the device

Force off-channel transmission to avoid this issue in case
- HW offchannel is used,
- the user didn't forbid transmitting frames off channel

still clear IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH. In both cases this isn't really
necessary though, so we can remove that flag and the code.

df1404650c mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

ebd82b39bf mac80211: make station hash table max_size configurable
Allow debug builds to configure the station hash table maximum
size in order to run with hash collisions in limited scenarios
such as hwsim testing. The default remains 0 which effectively
means no limit.

80616c0db8 mac80211: allow segmentation offloads
Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal
TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if
the hardware (or driver) supports it.

680a0daba7 mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G
If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then
we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just
needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for
that being possible.)

However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle
fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize().

Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the
code in mac80211 at all anyway.

2d981fddb0 mac80211: allow checksum offload only in fast-xmit
When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number
of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the
checksum to be calculated already.

In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call
to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it
once before the regular TX processing.

Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers
since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous
commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases.

For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be
programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting
frames with a bad checksum.

41fbf6e4f3 ath10k: enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORT_FAST_XMIT
The driver can clearly enable fast-xmit since it does rate
control in the device and thus must do duration calculation
there as well.

3ffd884012 mac80211: extend fast-xmit to cover IBSS
IBSS can be supported very easily since it uses the standard station

e495c24731 mac80211: extend fast-xmit for more ciphers
When crypto is offloaded then in some cases it's all handled
by the device, and in others only some space for the IV must
be reserved in the frame. Handle both of these cases in the
fast-xmit path, up to a limit of 18 bytes of space for IVs.
