* mac80211: improve HT channel handlingJohannes Berg2010-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when one interface switches HT mode, all others will follow along. This is clearly undesirable, since the new one might switch to no-HT while another one is operating in HT. Address this issue by keeping track of the HT mode per interface, and allowing only changes that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+ is not possible when another interface is in HT40-, in that case the second one needs to fall back to HT20. Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on, store the per-interface HT mode (channel type) in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

* cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handlingJohannes Berg2010-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | * mac80211: pass HT changes to driver when off channelReinette Chatre2010-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the "oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change (BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense. Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled and thus cause driver to be notified correctly. This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel. Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any data, not even ping.

* | | mac80211: improve IBSS scanningJohannes Berg2010-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient. Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include a channel variable setting. Note that this can be further improved to start the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID are fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

It is very useful for debugging session initiation and teardown problems since with this you don't have to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and thus have less data to analyse. Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim "support" aggregation sessions. It will still just transfer the frame, but go through the setup and teardown handshakes.

This is due to a bug in the rts threshold check. if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) { txrc.rts = rts = true; } Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold), and the variable len is assigned as: len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN, tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold); However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is 0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed, as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is not known before the frame has actually been transmitted. This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other instances of code also rely on this information. Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for sta->last_tx_rate. Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* | ath9k: Group Key fix for VAPsDaniel Yingqiang Ma2010-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that the traffic may be lost after a while. The detailed phenomenon is 1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally. 2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well, because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the broadcast trouble. It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet. I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k. The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160. Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | event body In a scenario, where a cfg80211 driver (station mode) does not send assoc request and assoc response IEs in cfg80211_connect_result after a successful association to an AP, cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE to the user space application with NULL data. This can cause an issue at the event recipient. An example of this is when cfg80211 sends IWEVASSOCREQIE and IWEVASSOCRESPIE events with NULL event body to wpa_supplicant. The wpa_supplicant overwrites the assoc request and assoc response IEs for this station with NULL data. If the association is WPA/WPA2, the wpa_supplicant is not able to generate EAPOL handshake messages, since the IEs are NULL. With the patch, req_ie and resp_ie will be NULL by avoiding the assignment if the driver has not sent the IEs to cfg80211. The event sending code sends the events only if resp_ie and req_ie are not NULL. This will ensure that the events are not sent with NULL event body.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stanse discovered that kmalloc is being called with GFP_KERNEL while holding this spinlock. The spinlock can be a mutex instead, which also enables the removal of the unlock/lock around the lock/unlock of cfg80211_mutex and the call to set_regdom.

| * mac80211: Fix sta_mtx unlocking on insert STA failure pathJouni Malinen2010-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 34e895075e21be3e21e71d6317440d1ee7969ad0 introduced sta_mtx locking into sta_info_insert() (now sta_info_insert_rcu), but forgot to unlock this mutex on one of the error paths. Fix this by adding the missing mutex_unlock() call for the case where STA insert fails due to an entry existing already. This may happen at least in AP mode when a STA roams between two BSSes (vifs).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Port commit 20deb48d16fdd07ce2fdc8d03ea317362217e085 from git://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/pub/git/people/allan/tipc.git Part of the large effort I'm trying to help with getting all the downstreamed code from windriver forward ported to the upstream tree Origional commit message Restore check to filter out inadverdently received messages This patch reimplements a check that allows TIPC to discard messages that are not intended for it. This check was present in TIPC 1.5/1.6, but was removed by accident during the development of TIPC 1.7; it has now been updated to account for new features present in TIPC 1.7 and reinserted into TIPC. The main benefit of this check is to filter out messages arriving from orphaned link endpoints, which can arise when a node exits the network and then re-enters it with a different TIPC network address (i.e. <Z.C.N> value).

| * tipc: fix endianness on tipc subscriber messagesNeil Horman2010-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove htohl implementation from tipc I was working on forward porting the downstream commits for TIPC and ran accross this one: http://tipc.cslab.ericsson.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=people/allan/tipc.git;a=commitdiff;h=894279b9437b63cbb02405ad5b8e033b51e4e31e I was going to just take it, when I looked closer and noted what it was doing. This is basically a routine to byte swap fields of data in sent/received packets for tipc, dependent upon the receivers guessed endianness of the peer when a connection is established. Asside from just seeming silly to me, it appears to violate the latest RFC draft for tipc: http://tipc.sourceforge.net/doc/draft-spec-tipc-02.txt Which, according to section 4.2 and 4.3.3, requires that all fields of all commands be sent in network byte order. So instead of just taking this patch, instead I'm removing the htohl function and replacing the calls with calls to ntohl in the rx path and htonl in the send path. As part of this fix, I'm also changing the subscr_cancel function, which searches the list of subscribers, using a memcmp of the entire subscriber list, for the entry to tear down. unfortunately it memcmps the entire tipc_subscr structure which has several bits that are private to the local side, so nothing will ever match. section 5.2 of the draft spec indicates the <type,upper,lower> tuple should uniquely identify a subscriber, so convert subscr_cancel to just match on those fields (properly endian swapped). I've tested this using the tipc test suite, and its passed without issue. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
