PMSR request parsing accepts missing or duplicated measurement type
entries in NL80211_PMSR_REQ_ATTR_DATA.
Track whether one measurement type was already provided, reject a
second one immediately, and return an error if the request data block

When a netlink socket that owns a PMSR session is closed,
cfg80211_release_pmsr() clears the request's nl_portid and queues
pmsr_free_wk to call cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() asynchronously.
If the interface tears down concurrently, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
is called under wiphy_lock and calls cancel_work_sync(&pmsr_free_wk)
to wait for any running work. The work function acquires wiphy_lock
via guard(wiphy) before calling process_abort.
This is a deadlock: wdev_down holds wiphy_lock and blocks inside
cancel_work_sync(); pmsr_free_wk blocks trying to acquire that same
wiphy_lock. Neither thread can proceed.
The same deadlock is reachable from cfg80211_leave_locked(), which
calls cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() for all interface types under
wiphy_lock.
Fix this by converting pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct to a
wiphy_work. The wiphy_work dispatcher holds wiphy_lock when running
work items, so the explicit guard(wiphy) in the work function is no
longer needed. wiphy_work_cancel() can be called safely while holding
wiphy_lock - since wiphy_lock prevents the work from running
concurrently, wiphy_work_cancel() never blocks, eliminating the
deadlock.
Remove the cancel_work_sync() for pmsr_free_wk from the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN handler. cfg80211_leave(), called unconditionally
just before it, already cancels any pending work under wiphy_lock
via wiphy_work_cancel() inside cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down().

cfg80211_gen_new_ie() copies ML probe response elements from
the parent frame when the parent EHT multi-link element has an
MLD ID matching the nontransmitted BSSID index.
The code only checked that the extension element had more than
one byte before calling ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(). That helper
assumes a BASIC MLE with enough common info and documents that
callers must first use ieee80211_mle_type_ok().
Attack chain:
malicious AP sends a short EHT MLE in an MBSSID beacon.
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() stores the copied IE buffer.
cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() builds the nontransmitted BSS IE.
cfg80211_gen_new_ie() sees the EHT MLE in the parent frame.
ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id() then reads past the IE boundary.
Validate the MLE type and size before reading the MLD ID. This
matches the contract required by the MLE helper and rejects the
short element before any internal MLE fields are accessed.

cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unregister/free boundary and access freed rdev state.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
scheduled-scan result path: unregister/free path:
1. cfg80211_sched_scan_results() 1. interface teardown stops and
queues rdev->sched_scan_res_wk. removes the scheduled scan request.
2. cfg80211_wq starts the work 2. wiphy_unregister() drains other
item and recovers rdev. rdev work items.
3. The worker locks rdev->wiphy 3. cfg80211_dev_free() destroys and
and walks rdev state. frees rdev.
Cancel sched_scan_res_wk in wiphy_unregister() alongside the other rdev
work items. cancel_work_sync() removes a pending result notification and
waits for an already running callback, so cfg80211_dev_free() cannot free
rdev while this work item is still active.

Currently, an AP may receive unprotected beacons from neighbouring
BSSes, which cfg80211_rx_unprot_mlme_mgmt() forwards to userspace via
NL80211_CMD_UNPROT_BEACON regardless of interface type.
While the kernel rate-limits these events to once per 10 seconds per
wdev, in multi-BSS scenarios each AP interface maintains its own
rate-limit state, increasing the number of reported events.
In AP mode, hostapd has no handler for NL80211_CMD_UNPROT_BEACON and
logs an unhandled event message for each occurrence, leading to excessive
log noise and making it harder to identify real issues.
Since an AP does not need to act on unprotected beacons from neighbouring
BSSes, skip reporting this event when operating in AP mode.

It's already _mostly_ dead code since it can really only
be used for AP and maybe IBSS and monitor, but not on a

Commit 79240f3f6d ("wifi: nl80211: re-check wiphy netns in

looked the wiphy up by index on a later call without confirming it was
still in the caller's netns. Two more dumpit paths have the same gap.
nl80211_testmode_dump() and nl80211_prepare_vendor_dump() both keep the
wiphy index in cb->args[] and look it up again on later calls, through
cfg80211_rdev_by_wiphy_idx() and wiphy_idx_to_wiphy(). The first call
binds to the caller's netns. A later call does not check it again. In
between, the wiphy can move to another netns via
NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS.
Add the same net_eq() check to both. On a mismatch, return -ENODEV and
the dump ends.
No mainline driver registers .testmode_dump or
wiphy_vendor_command.dumpit, so these paths are not reachable today.
Drivers outside the tree can register either.

cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffer fills.
Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation
so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a
further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists).
A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug
to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in
cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received),
which could theoretically be abused in some way.

NL80211_CMD_GET_SCAN is implemented as a multi-call dumpit. The first
invocation of nl80211_prepare_wdev_dump() validates the requested wdev
against the caller's netns via __cfg80211_wdev_from_attrs(). Subsequent
invocations look up the same wiphy by its global index and do not check
that the wiphy is still in the caller's netns.
Add the same filter to the continuation path. If the wiphy's netns no
longer matches the caller's, return -ENODEV and the netlink dump
machinery terminates the walk cleanly.

NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS dispatches with GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM, which
verifies that the caller has CAP_NET_ADMIN for the source netns. It
doesn't verify that the caller has CAP_NET_ADMIN over the target netns
selected by NL80211_ATTR_NETNS_FD or NL80211_ATTR_PID.
This diverges from the convention enforced in
net/core/rtnetlink.c::rtnl_get_net_ns_capable():
/* For now, the caller is required to have CAP_NET_ADMIN in
* the user namespace owning the target net ns.
*/
if (!sk_ns_capable(sk, net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN))
return ERR_PTR(-EACCES);
A user with CAP_NET_ADMIN in their own user namespace can therefore
push a wiphy into an arbitrary netns (including init_net) over which
they have no privilege.
Mirror the rtnetlink convention by requiring CAP_NET_ADMIN in the
target netns before calling cfg80211_switch_netns().

When considering both NPCA and DBE, it can appear that the

with DBE to 160 MHz:
| primary channel
| NPCA primary channel

V V
| p | | n | | | | | |
| BSS channel |
| DBE channel |
Now the NPCA primary channel is in the same half as the primary

invalid as a puncturing bitmap when considering the overall
channel.
Split out the validity checks from cfg80211_chandef_valid() to

In SME-in-driver mode, the driver handles the entire (re)association
exchange. Userspace (e.g., wpa_supplicant) currently has no explicit
indication of whether the (re)association exchange was encrypted,
making it difficult to distinguish EPP (Enhanced Privacy Protection,
IEEE 802.11bi) associations from non-EPP associations.
When (Re)Association frame encryption is used, the (Re)Association
Response frame must contain a Key Delivery element as specified in
IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, Table 9-65. Userspace must process this element
only when the (Re)Association Response frame is actually encrypted.
Processing it unconditionally for unencrypted frames leads to incorrect
behavior. Without an explicit indication from the driver, userspace
cannot determine whether encryption was used and whether the Key
Delivery element is valid.
Add a new flag attribute NL80211_ATTR_ASSOC_ENCRYPTED and a
corresponding field "assoc_encrypted" in cfg80211_connect_resp_params
to indicate that both the (Re)Association Request and Response frames
are transmitted encrypted over the air.

NL80211_CMD_SET_PMK and NL80211_CMD_DEL_PMK manage the offloaded
4-way-handshake PMK state used by drivers advertising
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_4WAY_HANDSHAKE_STA_1X. The only in-tree
driver that wires up both ->set_pmk / ->del_pmk and advertises
the feature today is brcmfmac, so the practical reach of this
patch is narrow.
Both ops were introduced without a .flags gate, so the generic
netlink layer dispatches them to an unprivileged caller instead
of rejecting with -EPERM at the permission check. Every other
connection-state op in the adjacent block (CONNECT, ASSOCIATE,
AUTHENTICATE, SET_KEY, ...) carries GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM; SET_PMK
/ DEL_PMK were introduced without the flag in 2017 and left
unchanged by later refactors. Johannes checked the original
Intel submission history and confirmed there is no admin check
in any prior revision either, so this seems likely to be a
simple oversight rather than an intentional carve-out.
Require GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM so the genl layer performs the same
capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check as its siblings. wpa_supplicant
already needs CAP_NET_ADMIN for every other nl80211 op it issues,
so supplicant operation is unaffected. The worst case the missing
gate enables today is an unprivileged local process on a
multi-user system invalidating the offloaded PMK state of another
user's 4-way-handshake session, forcing a full EAP re-auth on the
next reconnect.
Verified in UML: an unprivileged probe (uid=1000) sees
SET_MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST (sibling op with GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM)
return -EPERM on both pre- and post-fix kernels, while SET_PMK /
DEL_PMK return -ENODEV from nl80211_pre_doit()'s wdev lookup pre-
fix (proving dispatch crossed the genl permission check) and
-EPERM post-fix (rejected at the genl layer as intended).

Core & protocols
----------------
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP.
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining.
Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible.
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata
about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints.
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing.
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two.
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag.
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly
selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space.
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing.
- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter.
- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up.
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP.
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage.
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023).
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module.
Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection.
Cross-tree stuff
----------------
- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless,
it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it.
Netfilter
---------
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate.
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex.
- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure.
- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable.
Wireless
--------
- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth.
- Radar detection improvements.
- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs.
- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and
client probing.
- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware.
Driver API
----------
- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs.
- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events
(implement in mlx5 and fbnic).
- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering
(implement in mana).
- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes.
- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x).
- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5).
Misc
----
- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter.

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags
used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of
this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are
cast to void *.
Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct
ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers.
This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(),
and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags.
Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require
access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be
converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via
container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction.
This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory
iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of
raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

Export michael_mic() so that the ath11k and ath12k drivers can call it.
In addition, move it from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that the ipw2x00
drivers, which depend on cfg80211 but not mac80211, can also call it.
Currently these drivers have their own local implementations of
michael_mic() based on crypto_shash, which is redundant and inefficient.
By consolidating all the Michael MIC code into cfg80211, we'll be able
to remove the duplicate Michael MIC code in the crypto/ directory.

If all available channel resources are used for NAN channels, and one of
them is shared with another interface, and that interface needs to move
to a different channel (for example STA interface that needs to do a
channel or a link switch), then the driver can evacuate one of the NAN
channels (i.e. detach it from its channel resource and announce to the
peers that this channel is ULWed). In that case, the driver needs to
notify user space about the channel evacuation, so the user space can
adjust the local schedule accordingly.
Add a notification to let userspace know about it.

Add an NL80211 command to configure the NAN schedule of a NAN peer.
Such a schedule contains a list of NAN channels, and a mapping from each
time slots to the corresponding channel (or unscheduled).
Also contains more information about the schedule, such as sequence ID
and map ID.
Not all of the restrictions are validated in this patch. In particular,
comparison of two maps of the same peer requires storing/retrieving each
map of each peer, only for validation.
Therefore, it is the responsibilty of the driver to check that.

There are 2 types of logical links with a NAN peer:
- management (NMI), which is used for Tx/Rx of NAN management frames.
- data (NDI), which is used for Tx/Rx of data frames, or non-NAN
management frames.
The NMI station has two roles:
- representation of the NAN peer - for example, the peer's schedule
and the HT, VHT, HE capabilities - belong to the NMI station, and not to
the NDI ones.
- Tx/Rx of NAN management frames to/from the peer.
The NDI station is used for Tx/Rx data frames of a specific NDP that was
established with the NAN peer.
Note that a peer can choose to reuse its NMI address as the NDI address.
In that case, it is expected that two stations will be added even though
they will have the same address.
- An NDI station can only be added after the corresponding NMI station
was configured with capabilities.
- All the NDI stations will be removed before the NDI interface is brought
down.
- All NMI stations will be removed before NAN is stopped.
- Before NMI sta removal, all corresponding NDI stations will be removed
Add support for adding, removing, and changing NMI and NDI stations.

In NAN, unlike in other modes, there is only one set of (HT, VHT, HE)
capabilities that is used for all channels (and bands) used in the NAN
data path.
This set of capabilities will have to be a special one, for example - have
the minimum of (HT-for-5 GHz, HT-for-2.4 GHz), careful handling of the
bits that have a different meaning for each band, etc.
While we could use the exiting sband/iftype capabilities, and require
identical capabilities for all bands (makes no sense since this means
that we will have VHT capabilities in the 2.4 GHz slot),
or require that only one of the sbands will be set,
or have logic to extract the minimum and handle the conflicting bits -
it seems simpler to add a dedicated set of capabilities which is special
for NAN, and is band agnostic, to be populated by the driver.
That way we also let the driver decide how it wants to handle the
conflicting bits.
Add this special set of these capabilities to wiphy:nan_capabilities, to be
populated by the driver.
Send it to user space.

This new interface type represents a NAN data interface (NDI).
It is used for data communication with NAN peers.
Note that the existing NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface, which is the NAN
Management Interface (NMI), is used for management communication.
An NDI interface is started when a new NAN data path is about to
be established, and is stopped after the NAN data path is terminated.
- An NDI interface can only be started if the NMI is running, and NAN is
started.
- Before the NMI is stopped, the NDI interfaces will be stopped.
Add the new interface type, handle add/remove operations for it,
and makes sure of the conditions above.

Add an nl80211 API to allow user space to configure the local NAN
schedule.
The local schedule consists of a list of channel definitions and a schedule
map, in which each element covers a time slot and indicates on what
channel the device should be in that time slot.
Channels can be added to schedule even without being scheduled, for
reservation purposes.
A schedule can be configured either immedietally or be deferred, in case
there are already connected peers.
When the deferred flag is set, the command is a request from the device
to perform an announced schedule update: send the updated NAN
Availability - as set in this command - to the peers, and do the
actual switch to the new schedule on the right time (i.e. at the end of
the slot after the slot in which the update was sent to the peers).
In addition, a notification will be sent to indicate a deferred update
completion.

nla_type() returns int but really can only return small
non-negative values, etc. Now newer versions of sparse are
also starting to warn on it. Just use int for the band var.

When the nl80211 socket that originated a PMSR request is
closed, cfg80211_release_pmsr() sets the request's nl_portid
to zero and schedules pmsr_free_wk to process the abort
asynchronously. If the interface is concurrently torn down
before that work runs, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() calls
cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() directly. However, the already-
scheduled pmsr_free_wk work item remains pending and may run
after the interface has been removed from the driver. This
could cause the driver's abort_pmsr callback to operate on a
torn-down interface, leading to undefined behavior and
potential crashes.
Cancel pmsr_free_wk synchronously in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
before calling cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort(). This ensures any
pending or in-progress work is drained before interface teardown
proceeds, preventing the work from invoking the driver abort
callback after the interface is gone.

Add SPDX-License-Identifier lines to some files where
they are missing in the net/wireless directory.
Remove licensing text from individual files headers (where
present) to canonicalize the library references.
Use (mostly) either GPL-2.0 or ISC, depending on the
license wording (or not) in the files.
radiotap.c does not mention which BSD variant it intends for the
license. My selection of 'OR BSD-2-Clause' for radiotap.c was
based on research into this code's history and its licensing
elsewhere. In OpenBSD, radiotap code (which likely either
derived from this code, or this code was derived from) has the
BSD-2-Clause license. Very similar code in the radiotap library
user space tool, by the same authors Andy Green and Johannes
Berg, has an ISC license. Also the ISC license is used by
Johannes for other contributions in the Linux wireless system.
Since the radiotap.c license text here mentions BSD, but not a
specific version, I chose the closest BSD variant to ISC, which
is BSD-2-Clause.

Add an extended feature flag NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_IEEE8021X_AUTH to
allow a driver to indicate support for the IEEE 802.1X authentication
protocol in non-AP STA mode, as defined in
"IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, 12.16.5".
In case of SME in userspace, the Authentication frame body is prepared
in userspace while the driver finalizes the Authentication frame once
it receives the required fields and elements. The driver indicates
support for IEEE 802.1X authentication using the extended feature flag
so that userspace can initiate IEEE 802.1X authentication.
When the feature flag is set, process IEEE 802.1X Authentication frames
from userspace in non-AP STA mode. If the flag is not set, reject
IEEE 802.1X Authentication frames.
Define a new authentication type NL80211_AUTHTYPE_IEEE8021X for
IEEE 802.1X authentication.

The sequence of operations that needs to be done in wiphy_suspend is
identical for the case where there is no wowlan configured, and for the
case that it is but the driver refused to do wowlan (by returning 1 from
rdev_suspend).
The current code duplicates this set of operations for each one of the
cases.
In particular, next patch will change the locking of cfg80211_leave_all to
not hold the wiphy lock, which will be easier to do if it is not called
twice.
Change the code to handle first the case that wowlan is configured, and
then handle both cases (driver refused to do wowlan and no wowlan
configured) in one place.
Note that this changes the behaviour to set suspended=true also when
we were not registered yet, but that makes sense anyway, as wiphy works
can be queued also before registration.
