QCA6390 firmware uses HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW1_BM, not HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW3_BM. This is
needed to fix a case where an A-MSDU has an unexpected LLC/SNAP header in the
first subframe (CVE-2020-24588).

For fragmented packets, ath11k reassembles each fragment as a normal
packet and then reinjects it into HW ring. In this case, the DMA
direction should be DMA_TO_DEVICE, not DMA_FROM_DEVICE, otherwise
invalid payload will be reinjected to HW and then delivered to host.
What is more, since arbitrary memory could be allocated to the frame, we
don't know what kind of data is contained in the buffer reinjected.
Thus, as a bad result, private info may be leaked.
Note that this issue is only found on Intel platform.

Add support for rx decapsulation offload by advertising
the support to mac80211 during registration. Also ensure
the frames have the RX_FLAG_8023 flag set in decap offload
frames before passing to mac80211.
Since the packets delivered to the driver are in 802.3 format, these
can be sent to the network core with minimal processing in mac80211.
This helps in releasing some CPU cycles in the host processor and
thereby improving the performance.
Two exceptions are made before passing decap frames, one is
for EAPOL packets since mac80211 8023 fast rx for the sta
is set only after authorization, other case is for multicast
packets to validate PN in mac80211. In both the cases the
decap frames are converted to 80211 frame and sent to mac80211.
Ethernet decap can be enabled by using frame_mode modparam:

Currently the fragment cache setup during peer assoc is
cleared only during peer delete. In case a key reinstallation
happens with the same peer, the same fragment cache with old
fragments added before key installation could be clubbed
with fragments received after. This might be exploited
to mix fragments of different data resulting in a proper
unintended reassembled packet to be passed up the stack.
Hence flush the fragment cache on every key installation to prevent
potential attacks (CVE-2020-24587).

As QCA6390 requires bss created ahead of starting vdev, so check

Pktlog data are different among the chipset & chipset versions.
As part of enhancing the user space script to decode the pktlog
trace events generated, it is desirable to know which chipset or
which chipset version has provided the events and thereby decode
the pktlogs appropriately.
Pktlog checksum helps to determine the chipset variant which is
given by the firmware in the struct wmi_ready_event.
Pktlog checksums are computed during the firmware build.
So, adding that pktlog checksum in the pklog trace events.

As Hash based reo destination selection is configured,
the decapped packets reach different reo destintion rings
based on the destintaion ring selected for the computed hash (based on
the 5-tuple {ip src/ip dst/src port/dst port/protocol}) by hw and
as configured by driver.
Hence the current implementation of amsdu list based processing after all
the subframes of amsdu are received (since all msdu's for a pdev are
received in same reo dest ring), is not applicable here and hence is
replaced with per msdu based handling as these subframes
can be received in different reo dest rings.
Also, as some of the rx descriptor fields might be valid only for the
first msdu (for ex. received 80211 header, encryption type, etc),
it might not be useful now as we cannot sync between different
subframes received in different rings. Hence do not rely on those
fields and replace them with fieds valid only on per msdu descriptors.
Also cache other details such as encryption type for a peer so that
it can be reused when a packet is received from it.

drop such packets. TSC (TKIP sequence counter)
validation is also offloaded.
Hardware validates PN/TSC only for unicast packets;
for group addressed packets, PN validation is done
in mac80211.
PN errors are reported to the driver via WBM RX release
ring and can be dumped by using the following command.
"cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/soc_rx_stats | grep -i pn"
Sample Output:
PN check fail: 210

IPQ8074 HW has support to verify the PN of the received frames.
For all frames except for fragmented ones, HW checks the PN and
delivers them to the driver. For fragmented frames, driver is
required to do a little more; it has to reassemble the fragments
and then reinject them to the HW for verifying the PN. Currently,
to keep the logic simple, PN verifcation is disabled in HW and is
handled in mac80211 for all the frames (fragmented and unfragmented).
On the contrary, offloading PN Validation to the HW brings important
benefits. It reduces CPU cycles spent on the host CPU for verifying
the same; helps in enabling features which improve performance like
mac80211 fast RX path, enabling multiple REO rings for parallel RX
processing, 802.11 decapsulation offloading. All these features are
dependent on PN offload which in turn is dependent on handling of
the received fragments in the driver.
When TKIP security is used, additional handling is required while
processing the fragments; since MIC is computed on an MSDU in TKIP,
only the last fragment has the MIC info. In this case, driver has to
compute the MIC after reassembly and compare it against the MIC
present in the frame. For this, MICHAEL_MIC kernel crypto library
APIs are used and the dependencies are appropriately set.
