* mac80211: remove napiStanislaw Gruszka2013-03-06

* nl80211: renumber NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATEJohannes Berg2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding the flag to mac80211 already without testing was clearly a mistake, one that we now pay for by having to reserve bit 13 forever. The problem is cfg80211 doesn't allow capability/rate changes for station entries that were added unassociated, so the station entries cannot be set up properly when marked associated. Change the NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE value to make it clear to userspace implementations that all current kernels don't actually support it, even though the previous bit is set, and of course also remove the flag from mac80211 until we test and fix the issues.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add command to trigger radar detection in the driver/FW. Once radar detection is started it should continuously monitor for radars as long as the channel active.

* mac80211: remove IEEE80211_HW_SCAN_WHILE_IDLEJohannes Berg2013-02-11

* mac80211: protect rx-path with spinlockChristian Lamparter2013-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the problem which was discussed in "mac80211: Fix PN corruption in case of multiple virtual interface" [1]. Amit Shakya reported a serious issue with my patch: mac80211: serialize rx path workers" [2]: In case, ieee80211_rx_handlers processing is going on for skbs received on one vif and at the same time, rx aggregation reorder timer expires on another vif then sta_rx_agg_reorder_timer_expired is invoked and it will push skbs into the single queue (local->rx_skb_queue). ieee80211_rx_handlers in the while loop assumes that the skbs are for the same sdata and sta. This assumption doesn't hold good in this scenario and the PN gets corrupted by PN received in other vif's skb, causing traffic to stop due to PN mismatch."

* mac80211: allow drivers to access IPv6 informationJohannes Berg2013-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to implement NS response offloading (in regular operation or while in WoWLAN) drivers need to know the IPv6 addresses assigned to interfaces. Implement an IPv6 notifier in mac80211 to call the driver when addresses change. Unlike for IPv4, implement it as a callback rather than as a list in the BSS configuration, that is more flexible.

* nl80211/mac80211: support full station state in AP modeJohannes Berg2013-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, stations are added already associated. That is inefficient if, for example, the driver has no room for stations any more because then the station will go through the entire auth/assoc handshake, only to be kicked out afterwards. To address this a bit better, at least with drivers using the new station state callback, allow hostapd to add stations in unauthenticated mode, just after receiving the AUTH frame, before even replying. Thus if there's no more space at that point, it can send a negative auth frame back. It still needs to handle later state transition errors though, of course.

* mac80211: assign bss_conf.bssid only onceJohannes Berg2013-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of checking every time bss_info_changed is called, assign the pointer once depending on the interface type and then leave it untouched until the interface type is changed. This makes the ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify() now a simple wrapper to call the driver only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

* mac80211: handle power constraint/country IE betterJohannes Berg2012-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, mac80211 uses the power constraint IE, and reduces the regulatory max TX power by it. This can cause issues if the AP is advertising a large power constraint value matching a high TX power in its country IE, for example in this case: ... Country: US Environment: Indoor/Outdoor ... Channels [157 - 157] @ 30 dBm ... Power constraint: 13 dB ... What happened here is that our local regulatory TX power is 15 dBm, and gets reduced by 13 dB so we end up with only 2 dBm effective TX power, which is way too low. Instead, handle the country IE/power constraint IE combined and restrict our TX power to the max of the regulatory power and the maximum power advertised by the AP, in this case 17 dBm (= 30 dBm - 13 dB). Also print a message when this happens to let the user know and help us debug issues with it. Reported-by: Carl A. Cook <CACook@quantum-equities.com> Tested-by: Carl A.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.
