* mac80211: Use rcu_barrier() on unload.Jesper Dangaard Brouer2009-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The mac80211 module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier() on module unload. The rcu_barrier() is placed in mech.c ieee80211_stop_mesh() which is invoked from ieee80211_stop() in case vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT. Acked-by: Paul E.

* mac80211: fix wext bssid/ssid settingJohannes Berg2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When changing to a new BSSID or SSID, the code in ieee80211_set_disassoc() needs to have the old data still valid to be able to disconnect and clean up properly. Currently, however, the old data is thrown away before ieee80211_set_disassoc() is ever called, so fix that by calling the function _before_ the old data is overwritten. This is (one of) the issue(s) causing mac80211 to hold cfg80211's BSS structs forever, and them thus being returned in scan results after they're long gone. http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2015 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: disconnect when user changes channelJohannes Berg2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested, we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so we might just as well disconnect right away. Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the driver will clear some internal state on channel changes like this and then get confused when we actually go clear that state from mac80211. It may look like this patch drops the no-IBSS check, but that is already handled by cfg80211 in the wext handler it provides for IBSS (cfg80211_ibss_wext_siwfreq).

* mac80211: add queue debugfs fileJohannes Berg2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | I suspect that some driver bugs can cause queues to be stopped while they shouldn't be, but it's hard to find out whether that is the case or not without having any visible information about the queues.

* mac80211: Do not try to associate with an empty SSIDJouni Malinen2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It looks like some programs (e.g., NM) are setting an empty SSID with SIOCSIWESSID in some cases. This seems to trigger mac80211 to try to associate with an invalid configuration (wildcard SSID) which will result in failing associations (or odd issues, potentially including kernel panic with some drivers) if the AP were to actually accept this anyway). Only start association process if the SSID is actually set. This speeds up connection with NM in number of cases and avoids sending out broken association request frames.

* mac80211: disable PS while probing APJohannes Berg2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | When associated, but probing the AP because we detected beacon loss, we need to disable powersave to be able to receive the probe response. Change the code to do that by checking whether we're trying to probe when determining the possibility of going into PS, and recalculate the PS ability at the necessary spots.

* mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scanLuis R. Rodriguez2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan, because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan and after scan. This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024 The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control. We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually go into PS because it's not associated.

* mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 againJohannes Berg2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption is used. Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also fixes a problem where frames for that particular station could be reordered when some were still on the software queues and older ones are re-injected into the software queue after them.

* mac80211: fix minstrel single-rate memory corruptionBob Copeland2009-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in a sampling table. When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle the case where mi->n_rates < 2. However, mi->sample_idx is actually defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge positive number when negative, and the check will always fail. Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate. The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should have no ill effects. Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could potentially crash. With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a steady load. Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could reproduce this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we will ask the driver to configure right away when somebody changes the desired BSSID. That's totally strange because then we will configure the driver without even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero BSSID when not associated. As a side effect, this fixes an issue with the iwlwifi driver which doesn't implement sta_notify properly and uses the BSSID instead and gets very confused if the BSSID is cleared before we disassociate, which results in the warning Marcel posted [1] and iwlwifi bug 1995 [2].

In a sense this is a workaround for userspace behaviour, but on the other hand userspace cannot really keep track of what the kernel currently has for genIE since any process could have changed that while wpa_supplicant wasn't looking.

There is no need to count the crc32 value for directed_tim with this change, so we can remove that part. In order not to change the order of operations (i.e., update WMM parameters prior to sending PS-Poll), the CRC match is checked twice as only after the PS processing step, the rest of the function is skipped if nothing changed in the Beacon.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver might keep reporting beacon loss until we disassociate -- catch that and don't respond to any subsequent events until the probe is either successful or we disassociate.

* | nl80211: Add RSC configuration for new keysJouni Malinen2009-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).

* | nl80211: Add IEEE 802.1X PAE control for station modeJouni Malinen2009-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that we are already doing in AP mode).
