* mac80211: Fix scan_ies_len to include DS ParamsJouni Malinen2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 651b52254fc061f02d965524e71de4333a009a5a added DS Parameter Set information into Probe Request frames that are transmitted on 2.4 GHz band, but it failed to increment local->scan_ies_len to cover this new information. This variable needs to be updated to match the maximum IE data length so that the extra buffer need gets reduced from the driver limit. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: cancel restart_work explicitly instead of depending on ↵Tejun Heo2010-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_scheduled_work() iee80211_hw->restart_work is the only work which uses the system workqueue. Instead of calling flush_scheduled_work() during iee80211_exit(), cancel the work during unregistration. This is to prepare for the deprecation and removal of flush_scheduled_work().

| * mac80211: assure we also cancel deferred scan requestStanislaw Gruszka2010-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is partial revert and fix for commit 85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3 "mac80211: only cancel software-based scans on suspend" When cfg80211 request the scan and mac80211 perform some management work, we defer the scan request. We do not canceling such requests when calling ieee80211_scan_cancel(), because of SCAN_SW_SCANNING bit check just before the call. So fix that problem. Another problem, which commit 85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3 tries to solve, is we can not cancel HW scan. Hence patch make ieee80211_scan_cancel() ignore HW scan (see code comments). Keeping local->mtx lock assures that the deferred scan will not become "working" HW scan.

| * mac80211: fix deadlock with multiple interfacesJohannes Berg2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The locking around ieee80211_recalc_smps is buggy -- it cannot acquire another interface's mutex while the iflist mutex is held because another code path could be holding the iface mutex and trying to acquire the iflist mutex. But the locking is also unnecessary, we only check "ifmgd->associated" as a bool, and don't use the pointer (in check_mgd_smps).

| * mac80211: distinct between max rates and the number of rates the hw can reportHelmut Schaa2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800). However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1 the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes that the device can handle multi rate retries. Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

| * mac80211: fix offchannel assumption upon associationLuis R. Rodriguez2010-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Association is dealt with as an atomic offchannel operation, we do this because we don't know we are associated until we get the associatin response from the AP. When we do get the associatin response though we were never clearing the offchannel state. This has a few implications, we told drivers we were still offchannel, and the first configured TX power for the channel does not take into account any power constraints. For ath9k this meant ANI calibration would not start upon association, and we'd have to wait until the first bgscan to be triggered. There may be other issues this resolves but I'm too lazy to comb the code to check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a mac80211-based driver advertises mesh mode support, this will be advertised to userspace. However, if mac80211 was compiled without mesh support, then that won't actually be true. Fix this by removing the bit for mesh if mesh isn't compiled in. Since this synchronizes what we advertise to cfg80211 and actually support, it means we can now rely on cfg80211's interface type checks and need not check again in mac80211.

Therefore the mac80211-stack has to cancel any pending restarts, before destroying the shared device context and handing back the memory. Otherwise - under very unlucky circumstances - there could be a stale work- item left, because some other kernel component might have delayed the execution of ieee80211_restart_work for too long.

Because mac80211 devices can support multiple netdevs, a dummy netdev is used for interfacing with the NAPI code in the core of the network stack. That structure is hidden from the hardware drivers, but the actual napi_struct is exposed in the ieee80211_hw structure so that the poll routines in drivers can retrieve that structure. Hardware drivers can also specify their own weight value for NAPI polling. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211: Fix ps-qos network latency handlingJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.) This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps timeout of 100ms. Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct. Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

* mac80211: Add support for hardware ARP query filteringJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some hardware allow extended filtering of ARP frames not intended for the host. To perform such filtering, the hardware needs to know the current IP address(es) of the host, bound to its interface. Add support for ARP filtering to mac80211 by adding a new op to the driver interface, allowing to configure the current IP addresses. This op is called upon association with the currently configured address(es), and when associated whenever the IP address(es) change. This patch adds configuration of IPv4 addresses only, as IPv6 addresses don't need ARP filtering.

| * mac80211: improve HT channel handlingJohannes Berg2010-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when one interface switches HT mode, all others will follow along. This is clearly undesirable, since the new one might switch to no-HT while another one is operating in HT. Address this issue by keeping track of the HT mode per interface, and allowing only changes that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+ is not possible when another interface is in HT40-, in that case the second one needs to fall back to HT20. Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on, store the per-interface HT mode (channel type) in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

| * mac80211: improve IBSS scanningJohannes Berg2010-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient. Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include a channel variable setting. Note that this can be further improved to start the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID are fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * mac80211: enhance tracingJohannes Berg2010-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance tracing by adding tracing for a variety of callbacks that the drivers call, and also for internal calls (currently limited to queue status). This can aid debugging what is going on in mac80211 in interaction with drivers, since we can now see what drivers call and not just what mac80211 calls in the driver.
