2012-02-29mac80211: handle non-bufferable MMPDUs correctlyJohannes Berg
This renames the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE TX flag to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER and also uses it for non-bufferable MMPDUs (all MMPDUs but deauth, disassoc and action frames.) Previously, mac80211 would let the MMPDU through but not set the flag so drivers supporting some hardware aids for avoiding the PS races would then reject the frame.

2012-02-29mac80211: make deauth/disassoc sequence more naturalJohannes Berg
The association sequence looks (roughly) like this now: * set BSSID * set station to EXIST state * send auth * set station to AUTH state * send assoc * set station to ASSOC state * set BSS info to associated In contrast, the deauth/disassoc sequence is the other way around: * clear BSSID/BSS info state * remove station * send deauth/disassoc (in some cases the last two steps are reversed.) This patch encodes the entire sequence in the ieee80211_set_disassoc() function and changes it to be like this, for good measure with an explicit flush: * send deauth/disassoc * flush * remove station * clear BSSID/BSS info state At least iwlwifi gets confused with the other sequence in P2P mode and complains that it wasn't able to flush the queues.

2012-02-29mac80211: fix ieee80211_set_disassoc() sending DelBAJohannes Berg
When ieee80211_set_disassoc() is called with the tx argument set to true, it will send DelBA out to the peer. This isn't useful or necessary in a few cases where we do it today, those being when we lost the connection or when the supplicant explicitly asked us to not tell the AP.

2012-02-29mac80211: dont call cfg80211 from ieee80211_send_deauth_disassocJohannes Berg
Instead of calling cfg80211 in ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc() pass out the frame and call it from the caller. That saves the SKB allocation if we don't actually want to send the frame and enables us to make the ordering smarter in the future.

2012-02-27mac80211: fix sta_info_flush() return valueJohannes Berg
The comment for sta_info_flush() states "Returns the number of removed STA entries" but that isn't actually true. Consequently, the warning when a station is still around on interface removal can never trigger and this delayed finding the timer issue the previous patch fixed. Fix the return value here to make that warning useful again. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-02-27mac80211: fix auth/assoc data & timer leakJohannes Berg
When removing an interface while it is in the process of authenticating or associating, we leak the auth_data or assoc_data, and leave the timer pending. The timer then crashes the system when it fires as its data is gone. Fix this by explicitly deleting all the data when the interface is removed. This uncovered another bug -- this problem should have been detected by the sta_info_flush() warning but that function doesn't ever return non-zero, I'll fix that in a separate patch.

2012-02-27mac80211: fix associated vs. idle raceJohannes Berg
Eliad reports that if a scan finishes in the middle of processing associated (however it happens), the interface can go idle. This is because we set assoc_data to NULL before we set associated. Change the order so any idle check will find either one of them. Doing this requires duplicating the TX sync processing, but I already have a patch to delete that completely and will submit that as soon as my driver changes to no longer require it are submitted.

2012-02-22cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode APIJohannes Berg
The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc. Modify the API to the following: * start AP -- all settings * change beacon -- new beacon data * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename the commands there correspondingly (but keep the old names for compatibility.)

2012-02-21mac80211: Fix a warning on changing to monitor mode from STAMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
nothing needs to be done for monitor/AP_VLAN mode on calling ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify -> drv_bss_info_changed with the change flag 'BSS_CHANGED_IDLE'. 'wl1271' seems to use BSS_CHANGED_IDLE only for STA and IBSS mode. further the non-idle state of the monitor mode is taken care by the 'count' variable which counts non-idle interfaces. ieee80211_idle_off(local, "in use") will be called. this fixes the following WARNING when we have initially STA mode (network manager running) and not associated, and change it to monitor mode with network manager disabled and bringing up the monitor mode. this changes the idle state from 'true' (STA unassociated) to 'false' (MONITOR mode) exposed by the commit 405385f8ce7a2ed8f82e216d88b5282142e1288b "mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connected" WARNING: net/mac80211/main.c:212 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211]() Hardware name: 64756D6 Pid: 3835, comm: ifconfig Tainted: G O 3.3.0-rc3-wl #9 Call Trace: [<c0133b02>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<c0133b52>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [<fc8e8c3f>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8f9de3>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x113/0x430 [mac80211] [<fc8fabc6>] ieee80211_do_open+0x156/0x7e0 [mac80211] [<fc8f8a25>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x25/0x180 [mac80211] [<c015dd9f>] ? raw_notifier_call_chain+0x1f/0x30 [<fc8fb290>] ieee80211_open+0x40/0x80 [mac80211] [<c05894f6>] __dev_open+0x96/0xe0 [<c068fba5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x35/0x40 [<c05881d9>] __dev_change_flags+0x109/0x170 [<c0589423>] dev_change_flags+0x23/0x60 [<c05f3770>] devinet_ioctl+0x6a0/0x770 ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - in use Cc: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

rate control algorithms concludes the rate as invalid with rate[i].idx < -1 , while they do also check for rate[i].count is non-zero. it would be safer to zero initialize the 'count' field. recently we had a ath9k rate control crash where the ath9k rate control in ath_tx_status assumed to check only for rate[i].count being non-zero in one instance and ended up in using invalid rate index for 'connection monitoring NULL func frames' which eventually lead to the crash. thanks to Pavel Roskin for fixing it and finding the root cause. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign, the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so that we don't flip channels all the time etc. The only downside is that when we are associated, we need to drop the association in order to create a connection to another AP, but for most drivers this is actually desirable and the ability to do was never used by any applications.

2012-02-06cfg80211: stop tracking authenticated stateJohannes Berg
To track authenticated state seems to have been a design mistake in cfg80211. It is possible to have out of band authentication (FT), tracking multiple authentications caused more problems than it ever helped, and the implementation in mac80211 is too complex. Remove all this complexity, and let userspace do whatever it wants to, mac80211 can deal with that just fine. Association is still tracked of course, but authentication no longer is. Local auth state changes are thus no longer of value, so ignore them completely. This will also help implement SAE -- asking the driver to do an authentication is now almost equivalent to sending an authentication frame, with the exception of shared key authentication which is still handled completely.

2012-02-06mac80211: remove dummy STA supportJohannes Berg
The dummy STA support was added because I didn't want to change the driver API at the time. Now that we have state transitions triggering station add/remove in the driver, we only call add once a station reaches ASSOCIATED, so we can remove the dummy station stuff again. While at it, tighten the RX check and accept only port control (EAP) frames from the AP station if it's not associated yet -- in other cases there's no race.

Instead of maintaining separate sta_add/sta_remove callsites, implement it in sta_state when the driver has no sta_state implementation. The only behavioural change this should cause is in secure mesh mode: with this the station entries will only be created after the stations are set to AUTH.

(based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state.

If the driver blocked this specific STA with the help of ieee80211_sta_block_awake we won't clear WLAN_STA_PS_STA later but still decrement num_sta_ps. Hence, the next data frame from this STA will trigger ap_sta_ps_end again and also decrement num_sta_ps again leading to an incorrect num_sta_ps counter. This can result in problems with powersaving clients not waking up from PS because the TIM calculation might be skipped due to the incorrect num_sta_ps counter.

2012-01-30mac80211: Fix incorrect num_sta_ps decrement in __sta_info_destroyHelmut Schaa
When WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set by ieee80211_sta_block_awake the num_sta_ps counter is not incremented. Hence, we shouldn't decrement it in __sta_info_destroy if only WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set. This could result in an incorrect num_sta_ps counter leading to strange side effects with associated powersaving clients. Fix this by only decrementing num_sta_ps when WLAN_STA_PS_STA was set before.

2012-01-30mac80211: station state transition error handlingJohannes Berg
In the future, when we start notifying drivers, state transitions could potentially fail. To make it easier to distinguish between programming bugs and driver failures: * rename sta_info_move_state() to sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be called before the station is inserted (and check this with a new station flag). * rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be the regular function that can fail for more than just one reason (bad transition or an error from the driver) This makes the programming model easier -- one of the functions can only be called before insertion and can't fail, the other can fail.

This reverts commit f1e3be1561c43b6bbe2426e34849fb1486dc313b. Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> thinks that this patch is incorrect. I'll defer to his judgment. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-01-27mac80211: Do not scan for IBSS merge with a fixed BSSID.Nicolas Cavallari
Currently, when we are on an IBSS network with no active station, we would scan for other BSSID, even if fixed_bssid is on, due to a bug in ibss.c, where fixed_channel would be checked instead of fixed_bssid. This would trigger useless scans where scan results would not be used anyway. This patch also reverts commit 39d02a7d90602d4557ee05db2a157a4e0, which assumed that the ifibss->fixed_channel check was legitimate to disable single-channel scans. IBSS single-channel scan should now be fixed. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Cavallari <cavallar@lri.fr> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-01-27mac80211: send null packet on active (psm) reconfigurationEliad Peller
The sta might be in psm against the ap (e.g. because this was the before a hw restart), so we explicitly send a null packet in order to make sure it'll sync against the ap (and get out of psm). Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-01-27{nl,cfg,mac}80211: Add support of setting non-forwarding entity in MeshChun-Yeow Yeoh
A mesh node that joins the mesh network is by default a forwarding entity. This patch allows the mesh node to set as non-forwarding entity. Whenever dot11MeshForwarding is set to 0, the mesh node can prevent itself from forwarding the traffic which is not destined to him.
