2011-05-05mac80211: add basic support for WoWLANJohannes Berg
This adds basic support for the new WoWLAN configuration in mac80211. The behaviour is completely offloaded to the driver though, with two new callbacks (suspend/resume). Options for the driver include a complete reconfiguration after wakeup, and exposing all the triggers it wants to support.

2011-04-04mac80211: clean up station cleanup timerJohannes Berg
We currently run this timer exactly once when a new mac80211 device is registered, but that is completely pointless since it will have no work to do at all. Therefore, remove that and also simplify some code using the timer. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-02-18mac80211: fix 2.4 GHz 40 MHz disablingJohannes Berg
The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations. To fix this, clear the 40 MHz bits from the sband completely instead of overriding where used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-11-17mac80211: fix powersaving clients racesJohannes Berg
The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

2010-11-16mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APJuuso Oikarinen
Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

2010-10-05mac80211: fix deadlock with multiple interfacesJohannes Berg
The locking around ieee80211_recalc_smps is buggy -- it cannot acquire another interface's mutex while the iflist mutex is held because another code path could be holding the iface mutex and trying to acquire the iflist mutex. But the locking is also unnecessary, we only check "ifmgd->associated" as a bool, and don't use the pointer (in check_mgd_smps).

IEEE Std 802.11k-2008 added DS Parameter Set information element into Probe Request frames as an optional information on 2.4 GHz band (and mandatory, if radio measurements are enabled). This allows APs to filter out Probe Request frames that may be received from neighboring overlapping channels and by doing so, reduce the number of unnecessary frames in the air. Make mac80211 add this IE into Probe Request frames whenever the channel is known (i.e., whenever hwscan is not used).

2010-08-27mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.

Ever since commit e1b3ec1a2a336c328c336cfa5485a5f0484cc90d Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200 mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not. However, this is only relevant for station mode, since only then will any device send nullfunc frames and need to know whether they should be QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are (currently) no frames the device is supposed to send. When you now consider virtual interfaces, it becomes apparent that the current mechanism is inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has to be on a per-interface scale. Due to the above considerations, we can change the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

2010-06-14mac80211: simplify station/aggregation codeJohannes Berg
A number of places use RCU locking for accessing the station list, even though they do not need to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that. While doing so, combine places where we loop over stations twice, and optimise away some of the loops by checking if the hardware supports aggregation at all first. Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right now we could resume, set up an aggregation session, and right after tear it down again due to the code that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here. Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as a workaround. Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling loop when an interface is stopped, directly after that we remove all stations from it which will also disable all aggregation sessions that may still be active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

2010-03-30mac80211: move netdev queue enabling to correct spotJohannes Berg
"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

2010-02-08mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepJohannes Berg
Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

2010-01-12mac80211: flush workqueue before calling driver ->stop() methodLennert Buytenhek
Since commit "mwl8k: handle station database update for AP's sta entry via ->sta_notify()", mwl8k every now and then gets a command timeout when ifconfig'ing a STA interface down. This turns out to be due to mwl8k_stop() being called while the work queue item that was scheduled by mwl8k_sta_notify() to remove the STA entry for the associated AP is still queued, and the former disables interrupts so that when the latter eventually runs, a command completion interrupt is never seen. Fix this by changing ieee80211_stop_device() so that the workqueue is flushed before drv_stop() is called, instead of doing it the other way around as is done now.

This means that packets are queued in mac80211 and the upper layers never know, possibly leading to memory exhaustion and other problems. This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding queues for the virtual interfaces as well. The injection case will use VO by default for non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

2009-12-28mac80211: remove struct ieee80211_if_init_confJohannes Berg
All its members (vif, mac_addr, type) are now available in the vif struct directly, so we can pass that instead of the conf struct. I generated this patch (except the mac80211 and header file changes) with this semantic patch: @@ identifier conf, fn, hw; type tp; @@ tp fn(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, -struct ieee80211_if_init_conf *conf) +struct ieee80211_vif *vif) { <...

2009-12-28mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-12-28mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurationsLuis R. Rodriguez
mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

2009-12-22mac80211: allow disabling 40MHz on 2.4GHzJohannes Berg
In some situations it is required that a system be configured with no support for 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Rather than imposing any such restrictions on everybody, allow configuration a system like that with a module parameter. It is writable at runtime but only takes effect at the time of the next association. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-12-22mac80211: enable spatial multiplexing powersaveJohannes Berg
Enable spatial multiplexing in mac80211 by telling the driver what to do and, where necessary, sending action frames to the AP to update the requested SMPS mode. Also includes a trivial implementation for hwsim that just logs the requested mode. For now, the userspace interface is in debugfs only, and let you toggle the requested mode at any time.

2009-12-21mac80211: reduce reliance on netdevJohannes Berg
For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.
