2011-09-14mac80211: stop tx before doing hw config and rate updateRajkumar Manoharan
The assumption is that during the hw config, transmission was already stopped by mac80211. Sometimes the AP can be switching b/w the ht modes due to intolerant or etc where STA is in the middle of transmission. In such scenario, buffer overflow was observed at driver side. And also before updating the rate control, the frames are continued to xmited with older rates. This patch ensures that the frames are always xmitted with updated rates and avoid buffer overflow.

2011-09-14mac80211: Stop forwarding mesh traffic when tx queues are fullJavier Cardona
Tx flow control for non-mesh modes of operation only needs to act on the net device queues: when the hardware queues are full we stop accepting traffic from the net device. In mesh, however, we also need to stop forwarding traffic. This patch checks the hardware queues before attempting to forward a mesh frame.

2011-09-14cfg80211: hold reg_mutex when updating regulatorySven Neumann
The function wiphy_update_regulatory() uses the static variable last_request and thus needs to be called with reg_mutex held. This is the case for all users in reg.c, but the function was exported for use by wiphy_register(), from where it is called without the lock being held. Fix this by making wiphy_update_regulatory() private and introducing regulatory_update() as a wrapper that acquires and holds the lock.

Introduce filtering for scheduled scans to reduce the number of unnecessary results (which cause useless wake-ups). Add a new nested attribute where sets of parameters to be matched can be passed when starting a scheduled scan. Only scan results that match any of the sets will be returned.

2011-09-13cfg80211/nl80211: Indicate roaming feature capability to userspace.Vivek Natarajan
When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to roam if necessary. For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and reconnect with the new AP. This consumes lot of time and it is better to leave the roaming decision to the firmware. Signed-off-by: Vivek Natarajan <nataraja@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-09-13mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggrFelix Fietkau
Unfortunately failed BAR tx attempts happen more frequently than I expected, and the resulting aggregation teardowns cause performance issues, as the aggregation session does not always get re-established properly. Instead of tearing down the entire aggr session, we can simply store the SSN of the last failed BAR tx attempt, wait for the first successful tx status event, and then send another BAR with the same SSN.

2011-08-26mac80211: fix race condition between assoc_done and first EAP packetGuy Eilam
When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211. In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet. Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually sending the association request and setting it with a new dummy_sta flag solve this problem. The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it is in the pre-association/dummy state. This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get() calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx(). The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry. That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by this change.

2011-08-22mac80211: Tear down BA session on BAR tx failureHelmut Schaa
As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck connections. According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite. However, assume the following frame exchange: AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed) AP -> STA, BAR (failed) The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush its reorder buffer. This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel 5100 Windows client. In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.
