2013-04-08mac80211: fix LED in idle handlingJohannes Berg
feng xiangjun reports that my commit 382a103b2b528a3085cde4ac56fc69d92a828b72 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri Mar 22 22:30:09 2013 +0100 mac80211: fix idle handling sequence broke the wireless status LED. The reason is that we now call ieee80211_idle_off() when the channel context is assigned, and that doesn't recalculate the LED state. Fix this by making that function a wrapper around most of idle recalculation while forcing active.

2013-03-25mac80211: fix idle handling sequenceJohannes Berg
Corey Richardson reported that my idle handling cleanup (commit fd0f979a1b, "mac80211: simplify idle handling") broke ath9k_htc. The reason appears to be that it wants to go out of idle before switching channels. To fix it, reimplement that sequence.

2013-03-20mac80211: fix virtual monitor interface lockingJohannes Berg
The virtual monitor interface has a locking issue, it calls into the channel context code with the iflist mutex held which isn't allowed since it is usually acquired the other way around. The mutex is still required for the interface iteration, but need not be held across the channel calls. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-02mac80211: another fix for idle handling in monitor modeFelix Fietkau
When setting a monitor interface up or down, the idle state needs to be recalculated, otherwise the hardware will just stay in its previous idle state. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-26mac80211: fix idle handling in monitor modeFelix Fietkau
When the driver does not want a monitor mode VIF, no channel context is allocated for it. This causes ieee80211_recalc_idle to put the hardware into idle mode if only a monitor mode is active, breaking injection. Fix this by checking local->monitors in addition to active channel contexts.

2013-02-18mac80211: fix harmless station flush warningJohannes Berg
If an interface is set down while authenticating or associating, there's a station entry that will be removed by the flushing in do_stop() and that will cause a warning. It's otherwise harmless, but avoid the warning by calling ieee80211_mgd_stop() first. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15mac80211: enable vif.cab_queue for meshBob Copeland
Since mesh powersaving was added, pending bcast/mcast frames may go out the CAB queue now. Unfortunately, the queue was only set up for AP mode, so we would try to tx on the IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE.

2013-02-11mac80211: simplify idle handlingJohannes Berg
Now that we have channel contexts, idle is (pretty much) equivalent to not having a channel context. Change the code to use this relation so that there no longer is a need for a lot of idle recalculate calls everywhere. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-11mac80211: remove IEEE80211_HW_SCAN_WHILE_IDLEJohannes Berg
There are only a few drivers that use HW scan, and all of those don't need a non-idle transition before starting the scan -- some don't even care about idle at all. Remove the flag and code associated with it. The only driver that really actually needed this is wl1251 and it can just do it itself in the hw_scan callback -- implement that.

2013-02-11mac80211: add vif debugfs driver callbacksAlexander Bondar
Add debugfs driver callbacks so drivers can add debugfs entries for interfaces.

2013-01-03mac80211: assign bss_conf.bssid only onceJohannes Berg
Instead of checking every time bss_info_changed is called, assign the pointer once depending on the interface type and then leave it untouched until the interface type is changed. This makes the ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify() now a simple wrapper to call the driver only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: optimise AP stop RCU handlingJohannes Berg
If there are VLANs, stopping an AP is inefficient as it calls rcu_barrier() once for each interface (the VLANs and the AP itself). Optimise this by moving rcu_barrier() out of the station cleanups and calling it only once for all interfaces combined. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: optimise roaming time againJohannes Berg

2013-01-03mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modesJohannes Berg
Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae5b, intended to speed up roaming by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved some code into that work item that will still call into the driver at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the AP or mesh has been stopped. To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate patch. Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down, due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be reverted.

2012-12-06mac80211: cancel work instead of waiting for it to do nothingJohannes Berg
If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped, we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-30mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interfaceJohannes Berg
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-19mac80211: make client powersave independent of interface typeMarco Porsch
This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or ad-hoc powersave clients. The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure that can be embedded into any interface type. The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy extension with different interface types. For example with: + } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) { + ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps; Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they were obviously not used. The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP interface with one client in PS mode.

2012-10-17mac80211: track needed RX chains for channel contextsJohannes Berg
On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-17mac80211: use channel contextsJohannes Berg
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

2012-08-20cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg
In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.
