| * mac80211: always insert key into listJohannes Berg2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today I hit one of my new WARN_ONs in the mac80211 code because a key wasn't being freed correctly. After wondering for a while I finally tracked it to the fact that STA keys aren't added to the per-sdata key list correctly, they are supposed to always be on that list, not just for default keys. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * mac80211: fix sta_info mesh timer bugJohannes Berg2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed a bug I introduced when mesh is enabled: sta_info_destroy() will end up calling cancel_timer() on a timer that has never been initialized because the timer is only initialized in mesh_plink_alloc(), not in sta_info_alloc(). This patch moves the initialization of all mesh related fields into sta_info_alloc(), adds a bit of sanity checking to the cfg80211 handlers and sta_info_insert() and makes mesh_plink_alloc() a static helper function that is only used from the mesh plink code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quite a while ago I started this book. The required kernel-doc patches have since gone into the tree so it is now possible to build the book in mainline. The actual documentation is still rather incomplete and not all things are linked into the book, but this enables us to edit the documentation collaboratively, hopefully driver authors can add documentation based on their experience with mac80211.

| * mac80211: remove STA entries when taking down interfaceJohannes Berg2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif pointer! A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

| * mac80211: split sta_info_addJohannes Berg2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure. This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in a follow-up patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * mac80211: RCU-ify STA info structure accessJohannes Berg2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is now somewhat understandable. This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under RTNL and frees the key.

| * mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh ProtocolLuis Carlos Cobo2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that are being used and are close to expiring. Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error rates. Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors have not been implemented yet.

| * mac80211: mesh path table implementationLuis Carlos Cobo2008-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path contains a lock to protect the mesh path state. Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the appropriate next hop. If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop must always point to a valid sta. If this is not possible the mpath must be deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops, it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1). Code to support mesh tables.
