Commit Message

Manikanta Pubbisetty Nov. 21, 2018, 11:03 a.m. UTC
As per the current design, for sw crypto controlled devices, it is
the device which has to advertise the support for AP/VLAN iftype
based on it's capability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software
(In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific
VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff
("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices")
has introduced this change.

Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional
way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on
crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality.

For example:
In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN
functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN
support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are
also blocked.

Fix this by allowing 4addr opertion on devices which do not advertise
AP/VLAN iftype but which can support 4addr operation (the desicion is
taken based on the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).

Fixes: Commit db3bdcb9c3ff ("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on
crypto controlled devices")

This looks good to me, just a few nits below

I think it'd be better not to wrap this

Maybe that could be combined into one condition? It's kinda hard to read
either way though. I was thinking of making it positive, but then the
ERFKILL

>  		if (rfkill_blocked(rdev->rfkill))
>  			return notifier_from_errno(-ERFKILL);

would have to be _before_ it, and I'm not sure we want to change that.

So maybe make it

if (!(interface_modes & BIT() ||
      (iftype == AP_VLAN && use_4addr && wiphy.flags & 4ADDR_AP)))
	return ...(-EOPNOTSUPP);

instead?

I feel that's still easier to read than the double conditional with both
things being negated.

I'm not sure you should insert this further down, rather tahn at the
place where the check was before? Why not just insert this part directly
after the piece you modified above?

Sure, I'll fix them all in the next version.

Yeah, It makes sense; I'll change it.

I had to move it because use_4addr is only known after the NL_ATTR_4ADDR 
check.

Hi Manikanta,

Will you send an updated version of this patch to mainline?

Multiple people ran into this problem in OpenWrt and it would be nice if
such a fix would be included in upstream kernel.

See here a pull request:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1640
