2016-10-19mac80211: add a HW flag for supporting HW TX fragmentationSara Sharon
Currently mac80211 determines whether HW does fragmentation by checking whether the set_frag_threshold callback is set or not. However, some drivers may want to set the HW fragmentation capability depending on HW generation. Allow this by checking a HW flag instead of checking the callback.

2016-10-17mac80211: move struct aead_req off the stackArd Biesheuvel
Some crypto implementations (such as the generic CCM wrapper in crypto/) use scatterlists to map fields of private data in their struct aead_req. This means these data structures cannot live in the vmalloc area, which means that they cannot live on the stack (with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK.) This currently occurs only with the generic software implementation, but the private data and usage is implementation specific, so move the whole data structures off the stack into heap by allocating every time we need to use them. In addition, take care not to put any of our own stack allocations into scatterlists. This involves reserving some extra room when allocating the aead_request structures, and referring to those allocations in the scatter- lists (while copying the data from the stack before the crypto operation) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-05-12mac80211: allow same PN for AMSDU sub-framesSara Sharon
Some hardware (iwlwifi an example) de-aggregate AMSDUs and copy the IV as is to the generated MPDUs, so the same PN appears in multiple packets without being a replay attack.

2016-04-05mac80211: allow not sending MIC up from driver for HW cryptoSara Sharon
When HW crypto is used, there's no need for the CCMP/GCMP MIC to be available to mac80211, and the hardware might have removed it already after checking. The MIC is also useless to have when the frame is already decrypted, so allow indicating that it's not present. Since we are running out of bits in mac80211_rx_flags, make the flags field a u64.

2016-02-24mac80211: move TKIP TX IVs to public part of key structEliad Peller
Some drivers/devices might want to set the IVs by themselves (and still let mac80211 generate MMIC). Specifically, this is needed when the device does offloading at certain times, and the driver has to make sure that the IVs of new tx frames (from the host) are synchronized with IVs that were potentially used during the offloading. Similarly to CCMP, move the TX IVs of TKIP keys to the public part of the key struct, and export a function to add the IV right into the crypto header. The public tx_pn field is defined as atomic64, so define TKIP_PN_TO_IV16/32 helper macros to convert it to iv16/32 when needed. Since the iv32 used for the p1k cache is taken directly from the frame, we can safely remove iv16/32 from being protected by tkip.txlock.

2015-07-17mac80211: support device/driver PN check for CCMP/GCMPJohannes Berg
When there are multiple RX queues, the PN checks in mac80211 cannot be used since packets might be processed out of order on different CPUs. Allow the driver to report that the PN has been checked, drivers that will use multi-queue RX will have to set this flag. For now, the flag is only valid when the frame has been decrypted, in theory that restriction doesn't have to be there, but in practice the hardware will have decrypted the frame already.

2015-06-02mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key structJohannes Berg
For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct. As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of the internal TKIP state. As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it. This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer share a cacheline.

2012-10-01mac80211: Fix FC masking in BIP AAD generationJouni Malinen
The bits used in the mask were off-by-one and ended up masking PwrMgt, MoreData, Protected fields instead of Retry, PwrMgt, MoreData. Fix this and to mask the correct fields. While doing so, convert the code to mask the full FC using IEEE80211_FCTL_* defines similarly to how CCMP AAD is built. Since BIP is used only with broadcast/multicast management frames, the Retry field is always 0 in these frames. The Protected field is also zero to maintain backwards compatibility. As such, the incorrect mask here does not really cause any problems for valid frames. In theory, an invalid BIP frame with Retry or Protected field set to 1 could be rejected because of BIP validation. However, no such frame should show up with standard compliant implementations, so this does not cause problems in normal BIP use.

The current rx->queue value is slightly confusing. It is set to 16 on non-QoS frames, including data, and then used for sequence number and PN/IV checks. Until recently, we had a TKIP IV checking bug that had been introduced in 2008 to fix a seqno issue. Before that, we always used TID 0 for checking the PN or IV on non-QoS packets. Go back to the old status for PN/IV checks using the TID 0 counter for non-QoS by splitting up the rx->queue value into "seqno_idx" and "security_idx" in order to avoid confusion in the future. They each have special rules on the value used for non- QoS data frames.

2011-07-08mac80211: fix TKIP races, make API easier to useJohannes Berg
Our current TKIP code races against itself on TX since we can process multiple packets at the same time on different ACs, but they all share the TX context for TKIP. This can lead to bad IVs etc. Also, the crypto offload helper code just obtains the P1K/P2K from the cache, and can update it as well, but there's no guarantee that packets are really processed in order. To fix these issues, first introduce a spinlock that will protect the IV16/IV32 values in the TX context. This first step makes sure that we don't assign the same IV multiple times or get confused in other ways. Secondly, change the way the P1K cache works. I add a field "p1k_iv32" that stores the value of the IV32 when the P1K was last recomputed, and if different from the last time, then a new P1K is recomputed. This can cause the P1K computation to flip back and forth if packets are processed out of order. All this also happens under the new spinlock. Finally, because there are argument differences, split up the ieee80211_get_tkip_key() API into ieee80211_get_tkip_p1k() and ieee80211_get_tkip_p2k() and give them the correct arguments.

2011-05-02mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handlingChristian Lamparter
Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's own software crypto or when are handed down from the driver. This patch tries to unify both by moving the special branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the software crypto part. This has the advantage that we can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because several devices generate false postive MIC failure reports.

2011-02-03mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIPJouni Malinen
TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for convenient use. The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211 netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only when associated and using TKIP.

2010-09-27mac80211: move packet flags into packetJohannes Berg
commit 8c0c709eea5cbab97fb464cd68b06f24acc58ee1 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100 mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong since the optimisation this flag tried to make requires that it is kept across the processing of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under some (common!) circumstances the flag will be set on an already freed skb! However, investigating this in more detail, I found that most of the flags that we set should be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used for processing (currently just this one) need to be reset before processing a new packet. Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as a result of the wrong flags handling (which is not too surprising -- the only real bug case I can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

2010-08-16mac80211: remove unused status flag checksJohannes Berg
The decryption code verifies whether or not a given frame was decrypted and verified by hardware. This is unnecessary, as the crypto RX handler already does it long before the decryption code is even invoked, so remove that code to avoid confusion.
