| * mac80211: avoid calling ieee80211_work_work unconditionallyHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski2010-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On suspend, there might be usb wireless drivers which wrongly trigger the warning in ieee80211_work_work. If an usb driver doesn't have a suspend hook, the usb stack will disconnect the device. On disconnect, a mac80211 driver calls ieee80211_unregister_hw, which calls dev_close, which calls ieee80211_stop, and in the end calls ieee80211_work_purge-> ieee80211_work_work. The problem is that this call to ieee80211_work_purge comes after mac80211 is suspended, triggering the warning even when we don't have work queued in work_list (the expected case when already suspended), because it always calls ieee80211_work_work. So, just call ieee80211_work_work in ieee80211_work_purge if we really have to abort work.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dev_open will eventually call ieee80211_ibss_join which sets up the skb used for beacons/probe-responses however it is possible to receive beacons that attempt to merge before this occurs causing a null pointer dereference. Check ssid_len as that is the last thing set in ieee80211_ibss_join.

To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the checks that don't need write access to the skb. Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point to the correct skb. It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize shouldn't matter much.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

| * mac80211: Fix frame injection using non-AP vifJouni Malinen2010-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases (e.g., finding the station entry and keys for encryption), mac80211 needs to find the correct sdata entry. This works when the main vif is in AP mode, but commit a2c1e3dad516618cb0fbfb1a62c36d0b0744573a broke this particular use case for station main vif. While this type of injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix it. Do this by changing the monitor vif sdata selection to allow station vif to be selected instead of limiting it to just AP vifs. We still need to skip some iftypes to avoid selecting unsuitable vif for injection. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check the connection by probing the AP (either using nullfunc or a probe request). If nullfunc probing is supported and the assoc is no longer valid, the AP will send a disassoc/deauth immediately. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | mac80211: calculate beacon loss time accuratelyFelix Fietkau2010-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count. With this beacon loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).

| * mac80211: unset SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL when cancelling a scanBrian Cavagnolo2010-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For client STA interfaces, ieee80211_do_stop unsets the relevant interface's SDATA_STATE_RUNNING state bit prior to cancelling an interrupted scan. When ieee80211_offchannel_return is invoked as part of cancelling the scan, it doesn't bother unsetting the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit because it sees that the interface is down. Normally this doesn't matter because when the client STA interface is brought back up, it will probably issue a scan. But in some cases (e.g., the user changes the interface type while it is down), the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit will remain set. This prevents the interface queues from being started. So we cancel the scan before unsetting the SDATA_STATE_RUNNING bit. Signed-off-by: Brian Cavagnolo <brian@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | mac80211: Disable hw crypto for GTKs on AP VLAN interfacesHelmut Schaa2010-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to different AP VLAN interfaces. However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually use broadcast traffic. Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP interface is still sent to the driver. That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in hardware.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

* | mac80211: fix powersaving clients racesJohannes Berg2010-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

* | mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APJuuso Oikarinen2010-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

* mac80211: fix failure to check kmalloc return value in key_key_readJesper Juhl2010-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while reading through the code. Patch below. The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local variable rather than a int one. Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with -ENOMEM in that case. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
