| * mac80211: remove message on receiving unexpected unencrypted framesJohannes Berg2008-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people are getting this message a lot, and we have traced it to broken access points that much too often send completely empty frames (all bytes zeroed, which they shouldn't do at all.) Since we cannot do anything about such frames in any case except the special case where we're debugging an AP, just remove the message.

| * mac80211: use short_preamble mode from capability if ERP IE not presentVladimir Koutny2008-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When associating to a b-only AP where there is no ERP IE, short preamble mode is left at previous state (probably also protection mode). In this case, disable protection and use short preamble mode as specified in capability field. The same is done if capability field is changed on-the-fly.

* | mac80211: rework scanning to account for probe response/beacon differenceJohannes Berg2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the scanning code (ieee80211_rx_bss_info) to take more parameters from beacons and keep a BSS info structure alive when only beacons for it are received. This fixes a problem with iwlwifi drivers (where we don't understand the root cause of the problem yet) and another driver for some broken hardware (which cannot send probe requests unless associated, so can't always actively scan.)

* | mac80211: fix key todo list orderJohannes Berg2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we add multiple todo entries, we rely on them being executed mostly in the right order, especially when a key is being replaced. But when a default key is replaced, the todo list order will differ from the order when the key being replaced is not a default key, so problems will happen. Hence, just move each todo item to the end of the list when it is added so we can in the other code ensure that hw accel for a key will be disabled before it is enabled for the replacement.

* | mac80211: fix spinlock recursionJohannes Berg2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When STAs are expired, we need to hold the sta_lock. Using the same lock for keys too would then mean we'd need another key free function, and that'll just lead to confusion, so just use a new spinlock for all key lists.

* | mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanningReinette Chatre2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as the beacons are received without scanning. This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic. The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or ioctl in all other instances.

* | mac80211: fix key hwaccel raceJohannes Berg2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous key locking patch left a small race: it would be possible to add a key and take the interface down before the key todo is run so that hwaccel for that key is enabled on an interface that is down. Avoid this by running the todo list when an interface is brought up or down. This patch also fixes a small bug: before this change, a few functions used the key list without the lock that protects it.

* | mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problemsJohannes Berg2008-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key() hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected so we cannot do things atomically. This patch changes key locking completely: * key operations are now atomic * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is run before STA destruction. * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was required due to key operations This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required as much. Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.) That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or similar to disappear which is quite easy to do. Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* | mac80211: fix possible sta-debugfs work lockupJohannes Berg2008-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we queue the sta-debugfs-adding work on our mac80211 workqueue (which needs to be flushed under RTNL) and that work needs the RTNL, it can currently deadlock, thanks to Reinette Chatre for pointing out the lockdep warning about this. This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate. It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead to bugs.

That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of unaligned accesses to compare field by field.
