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
NPCA configuration is invalid, e.g. for an 80 MHz BSS channel
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
channel, and the NPCA puncturing bitmap could be completely
invalid as a puncturing bitmap when considering the overall
channel.
Split out the validity checks from cfg80211_chandef_valid() to
a new cfg80211_chandef_npca_valid() function that just checks
the NPCA configuration against the BSS chandef.

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.
For mac80211-based drivers, extend cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data with

Duplicate entries in wiphy->cipher_suites do not describe any
additional capability, but cfg80211 currently accepts them and leaves
individual consumers to deal with them.
One such consumer is the WEXT compatibility code, which appends a WEP
key length for each WEP cipher entry it sees. Repeated WEP entries can
therefore overflow the fixed iw_range::encoding_size array returned by
SIOCGIWRANGE.
Reject duplicate cipher suite entries in wiphy_register() instead.
This keeps the cipher suite invariant in one place and makes malformed
wiphy descriptions fail early with -EINVAL, rather than relying on a

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).

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.

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.

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.
