2012-07-17mac80211: go out of PS before sending disassocEliad Peller
on disassoc, ieee80211_set_disassoc() goes out of PS before indicating BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC (not sure why this is needed, but some drivers might count on the current behavior). However, it does it after sending the disassoc frame, which results in null-data frame being sent (in order to go out of ps) after we were already sent the disassoc, which is invalid. Fix it by going out of ps before sending the disassoc. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-12mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assocJohannes Berg
Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really is needed is synchronisation between some device time and the TSF. To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This is intentionally not using the mactime field since that is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the device timestamp. Also, since we have the information and it's useful even before the connection has been established, give all the timing details to the driver before authenticating.

2012-07-09mac80211: destroy assoc_data correctly if assoc failsEliad Peller
If association failed due to internal error (e.g. no supported rates IE), we call ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data() with assoc=true, while we actually reject the association. This results in the BSSID not being zeroed out. After passing assoc=false, we no longer have to call sta_info_destroy_addr() explicitly. While on it, move the "associated" message after the assoc_success check.

2012-07-09mac80211: update BSS info on AC parameters changeJohannes Berg
When the AC parameters change, drivers might rely on getting a bss_info_changed notification with BSS_CHANGED_QOS in addition to the conf_tx call. Always call the function when userspace updates are made (in AP/GO modes) and also set the change flag when updates were made by the AP (in managed mode.)

2012-07-03mac80211: add TX prepare APIJohannes Berg
Some drivers require setup before being able to send management frames in managed mode, in particular in multi-channel cases. Introduce API to allow the drivers to do such setup while being able to sleep waiting for the setup to finish in the device. This isn't possible inside the TX call since that can't sleep. A future patch may also restructure the TX retry to wait for the driver to report the frame status, as suggested by Arik in http://mid.gmane.org/CA+XVXffKSEL6ZQPQ98x-zO-NL2=TNF1uN==mprRyUmAaRn254g@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-06-28mac80211: don't require associated->beacon_ies for psEliad Peller
beacon_ies is needed only in order to extract the dtim period. However, even if it's missing we can still enter ps with dtim=1 (which also happens if the TIM ie is invalid). Most drivers don't use conf.max_sleep_period/ps_dtim_period anyway, and this check prevents them from entering ps if they don't have beacon (but only probe response), even though the beacon is not needed at all.

There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

2012-06-20mac80211: use the correct capability info in ieee80211_set_associated()Luciano Coelho
If an AP is beaconing with different capabilities than the one we get in the associate response, we were still using the capabilities received in the beacons. One example is when the AP is beaconing with the short slot bit set to zero and then we try to connect to it with long slot. In this case, we would keep using long slot until the next beacon was received. Fix this by using the correct capability value when calling ieee80211_handle_bss_capability(). We were using cbss->capability, but we should use the bss_conf->assoc_capability instead. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The IDLE handling in HW off-channel is broken right now since we turn off IDLE only when the off-channel period already started. Therefore, all drivers that use it today (only iwlwifi!) must support off-channel while idle, so playing with idle isn't needed at all. Off-channel in general, since it's no longer used for authentication/association, shouldn't affect PS, so also remove that logic.

2012-05-25mac80211: Fix race in checking AP status by sending null frameSoumik Das
mac80211 tries to verify the existence of the current AP by probing or sending a NULL frame in function ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap_send. It 1st sends a null frame to the AP, increments probe_send_count and waits for the ACK to the NULL frame for a finite duration of time. At times, it happens that by the time mac80211 gets to increment probe_send_count, the ACK for the NULL frame transmitted has already been processed. This leads to a race condition where mac80211 times out waiting for the ACK for the NULL frame causing unnecessary disconnection with the AP.

The channel type argument to the rate_update() callback isn't really the correct way to give the rate control algorithm about the desired RX bandwidth of the peer. Remove this argument, and instead update the STA capabilities with 20/40 appropriately. The SMPS update done by this callback works in the same way, so this makes the callback cleaner.

2012-04-10mac80211: set HT channel before associationJohannes Berg
Changing the channel type during operation is confusing to some drivers and will be hard to handle in multi-channel scenarios. Instead of changing the channel, set it to the right HT channel before authenticating/associating and don't change it -- just update the 20/40 MHz restrictions in rate control as needed when changed by the AP. This also fixes a problem that Paul missed in his fix for the "regulatory makes us deaf" issue -- when we couldn't use 40 MHz we still associated saying we were using 40 MHz, which could in similarly broken APs make us never even connect successfully.

2012-04-09mac80211: when receiving DTIM disable power-save mode only if it was enabledRonald Wahl
When receiving DTIM we currently disable power save mode in the hardware unconditionally, i.e. also when the hardware was not sleeping. This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572). When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g. this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link quality or a disconnect may occur. Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue.
