* mac80211: handle TDLS high-level commands and framesArik Nemtsov2011-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions. Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame, or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification. Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

* mac80211: mesh gate implementationJavier Cardona2011-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | In this implementation, a mesh gate is a root node with a certain bit set in its RANN flags. The mpath to this root node is marked as a path to a gate, and added to our list of known gates for this if_mesh. Once a path discovery process fails, we forward the unresolved frames to a known gate. Thanks to Luis Rodriguez for refactoring and bug fix help.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates the mesh peering frames to the format specified in the recently ratified 802.11s standard. Several changes took place to make this happen: - Change RX path to handle new self-protected frames - Add new Peering management IE - Remove old Peer Link IE - Remove old plink_action field in ieee80211_mgmt header These changes by themselves would either break peering, or work by coincidence, so squash them all into this patch.

* mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.Javier Cardona2010-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4. If there are 2, they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th address in the 802.11 header). The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2. I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft. See section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0). Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats.

* mac80211: Update mesh constants to approved IEEE ANA valuesSteve deRosier2010-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates IEEE802.11 mesh constants to be consistent with newly approved values. It modifies some values, as well as adds many new constants in preparation for updating mesh code to the current 802.11s drafts. ANA numbers were taken from: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-0031-12-0000-ana-database-assigned-number-authority.xls A few notes are in order: 1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as over-the-air constants have changed. 2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to keep the existing mesh scheme working until it can be updated. Adding the approved values is the first step in updating the mesh code. 3. Obsolete constants have been clearly marked. 4. All ANA approved 802.11s constants have been added. Signed-off-by: Steve deRosier <steve@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation codeJohannes Berg2010-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and leaking memory under certain circumstances during station destruction. Fix these issues by using the regular aggregation session teardown code and blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the station is really destructed. As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code block to destroy aggregation safely. Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs to keep track of the driver and peer states.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

It's better to create the templates in mac80211, that way all drivers can benefit from this. Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get() which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible for updating the templates after each association. Also new struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr is added to ieee80211.h to make it easy to calculate length of the Nullfunc frame. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed a speed regression, cf. bug http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138 that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong. Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits. The bug was part of the original HT code from over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't be overwriting the peer's setting with our own but rather keep it intact when masking the peer capabilities with our own. While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of capabilities is completely useless for most of the bits, so also fix those other bits. Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so also remove that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).
