* ath9k/mac80211: disallow fragmentation in ath9k, report to userspaceJohannes Berg2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As I've reported, ath9k currently fails utterly when fragmentation is enabled. This makes ath9k "support" hardware fragmentation by not supporting fragmentation at all to avoid the double-free issue. The patch also changes mac80211 to report errors from the driver operation to userspace. That hack in ath9k should be removed once the rate control algorithm it has is fixed, and we can at that time consider removing the hw fragmentation support entirely since it's not used by any driver.

* mac80211: fix debugfs lockupJohannes Berg2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When debugfs_create_dir fails, sta_info_debugfs_add_work will not terminate because it will find the same station again and again. This is possible whenever debugfs fails for whatever reason; one reason is a race condition in mac80211, unfortunately we cannot do much about it, so just document it, it just means some station may be missing from debugfs.

* mac80211: avoid "Wireless Event too big" message for assoc responseJohn W. Linville2008-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The association response IEs are sent to userland with an IWEVCUSTOM event, which unfortunately is limited to a little more than 100 bytes of IE information with the encoding used. Many APs send so much IE information that this message overflows. When the IWEVCUSTOM event is too large, the kernel doesn't send it to userland anyway -- better just not to send it. An attempt was made by Jouni Malinen to correct this issue by converting to use IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE messages instead ("mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOM"). Unfortunately, that caused a problem due to 32-/64-bit interactions on some systems and was reverted after the 'userland ABI' rule was invoked. That leaves us with this option instead of a proper fix, at least until we move to a cfg80211-based solution. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API. Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right now I'm not expert enough to do it.

* mac80211: make master iface not wirelessJohannes Berg2008-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211, in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add checks for the master interface all over the config handlers. This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer. Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

* mac80211: fix virtual interfaces vs. injectionJohannes Berg2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it. As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally. Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface. This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we do now. Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't assign sequence numbers at all. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: fix scan vs. interface removal raceJohannes Berg2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it was a software scan, if the timing is just right. On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem, just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case we would also never restore state of other interfaces. This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable until you scan once.
