5de1798489 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. Things
to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and
alter coexistence schemes.

6e3ab5543b cfg80211: invert P2P-Device vs. netdev check ordering
In cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan(), check for P2P Device
first, and then for netdevs. This doesn't really change
anything but makes the code a bit easier to read since
it may not be obvious for everyone at first that a P2P

97990a060e nl80211: allow using wdev identifiers to get scan results
Most dump callbacks, including the scan results one, use
the netdev to identify what to do, which is incorrect for
the P2P_DEVICE support, it needs to be able to get the
scan result from the wdev. Change all dumps to unify the
code, but ones other than scan don't really support being
executed on a wdev that has no netdev.

990de49f74 wireless: regulatory: fix channel disabling race condition
When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz
part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving
country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already
be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks
if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an
active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi
device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well.

Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather
OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the
channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct.

f9f475292d cfg80211: always check for scan end on P2P device
If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the
scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by
that time. 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). For now, use
the sched_scan_mtx instead, I'll rename it to just scan_mtx in
a later patch.

To fix the problem disconnect from any associated network before
suspend. User space is responsible to establish connection again
after resume. This basically need to be done by user space anyway,
because associated stations can go away during suspend (for example
NetworkManager disconnects on suspend and connect on resume by default).

Patch also handle situation when driver refuse to suspend with wowlan
configured and try to suspend again without it.

3713b4e364 nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumps
The per-wiphy information is getting large, to the point
where with more than the typical number of channels it's
too large and overflows, and userspace can't get any of
the information at all.

To address this (in a way that doesn't require making all
messages bigger) allow userspace to specify that it can
deal with wiphy information split across multiple parts
of the dump, and if it can split up the data. This also
splits up each channel separately so an arbitrary number
of channels can be supported.

Additionally, since GET_WIPHY has the same problem, add
support for filtering the wiphy dump and get information
for a single wiphy only, this allows userspace apps to
use dump in this case to retrieve all data from a single
device.

As userspace needs to know if all this this is supported,
add a global nl80211 feature set and include a bit for
this behaviour in it.

77ee7c891a cfg80211: comprehensively check station changes
The station change API isn't being checked properly before
drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see
what should be allowed and what not.

In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse
everything first, and then have the driver call a function
(cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally
information about the kind of station that is being changed;
this allows the function to make better decisions than the
old code could.

While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh
and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.

To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits
when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then.

f8bacc2104 cfg80211: clean up mesh plink station change API
Make the ability to leave the plink_state unchanged not use a
magic -1 variable that isn't in the enum, but an explicit change
flag; reject invalid plink states or actions and move the needed
constants for plink actions to the right header file. Also
reject plink_state changes for non-mesh interfaces.

645e77def9 nl80211: increase wiphy dump size dynamically
Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy
information can still overflow even though its size in
3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and
kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump"
protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy.

For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more
information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't
have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we
wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase
the size only when needed, as described in the comments.
As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we
can only use 4k.

Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command.

162589f7b1 nl80211: remove TCP WoWLAN information
Just like the radar information, the TCP WoWLAN capability
data can increase the wiphy information and make it too
big. Remove the TCP WoWLAN information; no driver supports
it and new userspace tools will be required as well.

1c33a05945 nl80211: remove radar information
The wiphy information is getting very close to being too
much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the
radar attributes to channels and interface combinations
can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no
information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for
now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway
and a modified userspace is required as well.

We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to
request splitting the information across multiple netlink
messages, which will allow us to add this back.
