| * mac80211: fix another race in aggregation startJohannes Berg2011-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session. (The patch looks large because it has to move two functions to before their new use.)

| * mac80211: fix race between the AGG SM and the Tx data pathEmmanuel Grumbach2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the ampdu_action callback. There is race between these two mechanisms since the following scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down: Tx softIRQ drv configuration ========== ================= check OPERATIONAL bit Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet clear OPERATIONAL bit stop Tx AGG Pass Tx packet to the driver. In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set although it has already been notified that the BA session has been torn down. To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet. This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON when it happens.

| * mac80211: fix race condition caused by late addBA responseNikolay Martynov2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If addBA responses comes in just after addba_resp_timer has expired mac80211 will still accept it and try to open the aggregation session. This causes drivers to be confused and in some cases even crash. This patch fixes the race condition and makes sure that if addba_resp_timer has expired addBA response is not longer accepted and we do not try to open half-closed session.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nikolay noticed (by code review) that mac80211 can attempt to stop an aggregation session while it is already being stopped. So to fix it, check whether stop is already being done and bail out if so. Also move setting the STOPPING state into the lock so things are properly atomic.

| * | | mac80211: pass no-CCK flag through to HW scanJohannes Berg2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed so that offloaded scan can do the right thing. Without this patch, the no_cck flag contains random values from the kernel heap. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| * | | mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitorRajkumar Manoharan2011-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission. As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to retain the connection. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * | | mac80211: dont assign seqno to or aggregate QoS Null framesJohannes Berg2011-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 802.11 says: "Sequence numbers for QoS (+)Null frames may be set to any value." However, if we use the normal counters then peers will get confused with aggregation since there'll be holes in the sequence number sequence. To avoid that, neither assign a sequence number to QoS null frames nor put them on aggregation. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
