* mac80211: make uapsd_* keys per-vifEliad Peller2012-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | uapsd_queues and uapsd_max_sp_len are relevant only for managed interfaces, and can be configured differently for each vif. Move them from the local struct to sdata->u.mgd, and update the debugfs functions accordingly. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: Limit TID buffering during BA session setup/teardownHelmut Schaa2012-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of- memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in process context while frames can still come via softirq. Apply a limitation to the TIDs pending queue to avoid consuming too much memory in this situation. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: handle non-bufferable MMPDUs correctlyJohannes Berg2012-02-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This renames the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE TX flag to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER and also uses it for non-bufferable MMPDUs (all MMPDUs but deauth, disassoc and action frames.) Previously, mac80211 would let the MMPDU through but not set the flag so drivers supporting some hardware aids for avoiding the PS races would then reject the frame.

* cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode APIJohannes Berg2012-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc. Modify the API to the following: * start AP -- all settings * change beacon -- new beacon data * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename the commands there correspondingly (but keep the old names for compatibility.) Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going on in the API. Kalle developed the ath6kl changes, I created the rest of the patch.

* mac80211: Use appropriate TID for sending BAR, ADDBA and DELBA framesHelmut Schaa2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames are always sent using AC_VO. If the TID for which a BA session is established is assigned to a different queue BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames can "overtake" frames of the according BA session. Hence, always put BA session related frames into the same queue as the BA sessions data frames. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: reduce station management complexityJohannes Berg2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that IBSS no longer needs to insert stations from atomic context, we can get rid of all the special cases for that, and even get rid of the sta_lock (though it needs to stay as tim_lock.) This makes the station management code much more straight-forward. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: count authorized stations per BSSJohannes Berg2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, each AP interface will send multicast traffic if any interface has a station entry even if that station entry is allocated only. With the new station state management we can easily fix it by adding a counter that counts each authorized station only and send multicast traffic only when the correct interface has at least one authorized station.

* mac80211: refactor station state transitionsJohannes Berg2011-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: fix TX warningJohannes Berg2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Emmanuel reported that my previous patches to enable handing all fragments to drivers at once triggered the warning that the SKB queue wasn't empty. This is happening when we actually queue up some frames and don't hand them to the driver (queues are stopped). The reason for it is that my code that splices the frame(s) over to the pending queue didn't re-init the local queue, so skb_queue_empty() was false. Fix this by using the _init versions of the splicing. Also, convert the warning to WARN_ON_ONCE.

* mac80211: timeout tx agg sessions in way similar to rx agg sessionsNikolay Martynov2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently tx aggregation is not being timed out even if timeout is specified when aggregation is opened. Tx tid stays active until delba arrives from recipient (i.e. recipient times out tid when it is inactive). The problem with this approach is that delba can get lost in the air and tx tid will stay perpetually opened on the originator while closed on recipient thus all data sent via this tid will be lost. This patch implements tx tid timeouting in way very similar to rx tid timeouting. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Martynov <mar.kolya@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | mac80211: remove crypto special case for auth framesJohannes Berg2011-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The shared key authentication frame that needs to be encrypted (the third one in the shared key handshake) is directly encrypted in ieee80211_send_auth and the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT is set. All others are not encrypted, so the only way to get to this is erroneously on no-monitor AP side. Remove the special case for authentication frames to fix the AP shared key side when operating without cooked monitor interfaces -- with cooked monitor the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT also gets set, so we never get here -- an AP never encrypts auth frames. Without this patch, an AP operating in WEP mode with my no-monitor patches would erroneously encrypt all authentication frames, instead of none.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was another workaround for truesize "bugs". The reason we did this was that when we orphaned the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later. Now that the check is gone (and we just charge the former smaller size to the socket) there's no longer a reason to orphan the skb here. Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This helps flow control and allows us to get at the socket later for other purposes.
