When user adds a virtual interface driver will set the
bss_type to the iface_type given by the user. When
supplicant is started on the same interface, a call to
change_virtual_intf will be triggered if if_type is not
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION. Here driver should not update
it's bss_type, because bss_type is intended to indicate
the original iface_type and changing the same will defeat
the purpose of creating this interface.

wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.13
New features and bug fixes to quite a few different drivers, but
nothing really special standing out.
What makes me happy that we have now more vendors actively
contributing to upstream drivers. In this pull request we have patches
from Broadcom, Intel, Qualcomm, Realtek and Redpine Signals, and I
still have patches from Marvell and Quantenna pending in patchwork. Now
that's something comparing to how things looked 11 years ago in Jeff
Garzik's "State of the Union: Wireless" email:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/5/671
Major changes:
wil6210
* add low level RF sector interface via nl80211 vendor commands
* add module parameter ftm_mode to load separate firmware for factory
testing
* support devices with different PCIe bar size
* add support for PCIe D3hot in system suspend
* remove ioctl interface which should not be in a wireless driver
ath10k
* go back to using dma_alloc_coherent() for firmware scratch memory
* add per chain RSSI reporting
brcmfmac
* add support multi-scheduled scan
* add scheduled scan support for specified BSSIDs
* add support for brcm43430 revision 0
wlcore
* add wil1285 compatible
rsi
* add RS9113 USB support
iwlwifi
* FW API documentation improvements (for tools and htmldoc)
* continuing work for the new A000 family
* bump the maximum supported FW API to 31
* improve the differentiation between 8000, 9000 and A000 families

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

Just like in the previous patch ("mwifiex: Don't release
tx_ba_stream_tbl_lock while iterating"), in
mwifiex_cancel_all_pending_cmd() we were itearting over a list protected
by a spinlock. Again, it is not safe to release the spinlock while
iterating. Don't do it.
Luckily in this case there should be no need to release the spinlock.
This is evidenced by:
1. The only function called while the spinlock was released was
mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node()
2. Aside from atomic functions (which are safe to call), the only
function called by mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node() was
mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q().
3. It can be seen in mwifiex_cancel_pending_scan_cmd() that it's OK to
call mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() while holding a different
spinlock (scan_pending_q_lock), so in general holding a spinlock
should be OK.
4. It doesn't appear that mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() has any
interaction with the cmd_pending_q_lock

changes this could fix random list corruption.

Despite the macro list_for_each_entry_safe() having the word "safe" in
the name, it's still not actually safe to release the list spinlock
while iterating over the list. The "safe" in the macro name actually
only means that it's safe to delete the current entry while iterating
over the list.
Releasing the spinlock while iterating over the list means that someone
else could come in and adjust the list while we don't have the
spinlock. If they do that it can totally mix up our iteration and fully
corrupt the list. Later iterating over a corrupted list while holding a
spinlock and having IRQs off can cause all sorts of hard to debug
problems.
As evidenced by the other call to
mwifiex_11n_delete_tx_ba_stream_tbl_entry() in
mwifiex_11n_delete_all_tx_ba_stream_tbl(), it's actually safe to skip
the spinlock release. Let's do that.

If we fail to add an interface in mwifiex_add_virtual_intf(), we might
hit a BUG_ON() in the networking code, because we didn't tear things
down properly. Among the problems:
(a) when failing to allocate workqueues, we fail to unregister the
netdev before calling free_netdev()
(b) even if we do try to unregister the netdev, we're still holding the
rtnl lock, so the device never properly unregistered; we'll be at
state NETREG_UNREGISTERING, and then hit free_netdev()'s:
BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERED);
(c) we're allocating some dependent resources (e.g., DFS workqueues)
after we've registered the interface; this may or may not cause
problems, but it's good practice to allocate these before registering
(d) we're not even trying to unwind anything when mwifiex_send_cmd() or
mwifiex_sta_init_cmd() fail
To fix these issues, let's:
* add a stacked set of error handling labels, to keep error handling
consistent and properly ordered (resolving (a) and (d))
* move the workqueue allocations before the registration (to resolve
(c); also resolves (b) by avoiding error cases where we have to
unregister)
[Incidentally, it's pretty easy to interrupt the alloc_workqueue() in,
e.g., the following:
iw phy phy0 interface add mlan0 type station
by sending it SIGTERM.]
This bugfix covers commits like commit 7d652034d1 ("mwifiex: channel

back to the introduction of dynamic interface handling in commit

This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests
running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming
request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to
use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is
treated as a legacy scan.
Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support
a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

[clean up netlink destroy path to avoid allocations, code cleanups]
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Function alloc_workqueue() will return a NULL pointer if there is no
enough memory, and its return value should be validated before using.
However, in function if_spi_probe(), its return value is not checked.
This may result in a NULL dereference bug. This patch fixes the bug.
