ad4bb6f888 cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
 * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
 * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
   the case of managed mode
 * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
   network segment

In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.

Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

9bc383de37 cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode
It's very likely that not many devices will support
four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

61fa713c75 cfg80211: return channel noise via survey API
This patch implements the NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY command and an get_survey()
ops that a driver can implement. The goal of this command is to allow a
drivers to report channel survey data (e.g. channel noise, channel
occupation).

For now, only the mechanism to report back channel noise has been
implemented.

In future, there will either be a survey-trigger command --- or the existing
scan-trigger command will be enhanced. This will allow user-space to
request survey for arbitrary channels.

Note: any driver that cannot report channel noise should not report
any value at all, e.g. made-up -92 dBm.

584991dccf cfg80211: validate scan channels
Currently it is possible to request a scan on only
disabled channels, which could be problematic for
some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore
disabled channels that are given. This resuls in
the scan begin/end event only including channels
that are actually used.

This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels
superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS
check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should
not find any networks on channels that cannot be
used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.

Refactor wext to
 * split out iwpriv handling

 * split out procfs support
 * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code

After this, drivers need to

 - select WEXT_PRIV	- for iwpriv support
 - select WEXT_SPY	- for iwspy support

except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c
and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT.

Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected
based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core
(i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT).

3d54d25515 cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change
When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.

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.

f5ea9120be nl80211: add generation number to all dumps
In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether
it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when
using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number
in each dump message that indicates whether the list has
changed or not -- its value is arbitrary.

This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs
some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation
number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or
stations.

The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within
cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be
stored there as well.

59bbb6f757 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.

bc43b28c10 cfg80211: fix circular lock dependency (1)
Luis reported this lockdep complaint, that he had also
reported earlier but when trying to analyse I had been

(slightly abridged)
=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.31-rc4-wl #6
-------------------------------------------------------
wpa_supplicant/3799 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

When looking at the correct code, the problem is quite
obvious. I'm not entirely sure which code paths lead
here, so until I can analyse it better let's just use
RCU to avoid the problem.

463d018323 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).

fffd0934b9 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.

134e63756d genetlink: make netns aware
This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.

A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).

The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.

After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.

Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

667503ddcb 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.

4d0c8aead3 cfg80211: properly name driver locking
Currently we call that cfg80211_put_dev(), but that is
misleading. With the new convention of using 'rdev' for
registered_device variables, also call that function
cfg80211_unlock_rdev().

3e5d7649a6 cfg80211: let SME control reassociation vs. association
Since we don't really know that well in the kernel,
let's let the SME control whether it wants to use
reassociation or not, by allowing it to give the
previous BSSID in the associate() parameters.

3dc27d25f2 nl80211: limit to one pairwise cipher for associate()
In this case, only one cipher makes sense, unlike for
connect() where it may be possible to have the card or
driver select.

No changes to mac80211 due to the way the structs are
laid out -- but the loop in net/mac80211/cfg.c will
degrade to just zero or one passes.

19957bb399 cfg80211: keep track of BSSes
In order to avoid problems with BSS structs going away
while they're in use, I've long wanted to make cfg80211
keep track of them. Without the SME, that wasn't doable
but now that we have the SME we can do this too. It can
keep track of up to four separate authentications and
one association, regardless of whether it's controlled
by the cfg80211 SME or the userspace SME.

f21293549f cfg80211: managed mode wext compatibility
This adds code to make it possible to use the cfg80211
connect() API with wireless extensions, and because the
previous patch added emulation of that API with auth()
and assoc(), by extension also supports wext on that.
At the same time, removes code from mac80211 for wext,
but doesn't yet clean up mac80211's mlme code more.

This adds code to cfg80211 so that drivers (mac80211 right
now) that don't implement connect but rather auth/assoc can
still be used with the nl80211 connect command. This will
also be necessary for the wext compat code.

b23aa676ab cfg80211: connect/disconnect API
This patch introduces the cfg80211 connect/disconnect API.
The goal here is to run the AUTH and ASSOC steps in one call.
This is needed for some fullmac cards that run both steps
directly from the target, after the host driver sends a
connect command.

Additionally, all the new crypto parameters for connect()
are now also valid for associate() -- although associate
requires the IEs to be used, the information can be useful
for drivers and should be given.

aff89a9b90 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.

e6d6e3420d cfg80211: use proper allocation flags
Instead of hardcoding GFP_ATOMIC everywhere, add a
new function parameter that gets the flags from the
caller. Obviously then I need to update all callers
(all of them in mac80211), and it turns out that now
it's ok to use GFP_KERNEL in almost all places.

83f5e2cf79 cfg80211: prohibit scanning the same channel more than once
It isn't very useful to scan the same channel more than once
during a given scan, and some hardware (notably iwlwifi) can
only scan a limited number of channels at a time. To prevent
any overflows, simply disallow scanning any channel multiple
times in a given scan command. This is a small change in the
userspace ABI, but the only user, wpa_supplicant, never asks
for a scan with the same frequency listed twice.
