* mac80211: fix configure_filter invocation after stopJohannes Berg2009-08-281-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct. This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw. Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and two of them do very similar things, the code for them can be put into a shared function at the same time.

* mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleepJohannes Berg2009-08-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

* mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez2009-08-041-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: verify info->control.vif is not NULLJohannes Berg2009-07-291-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When enqueuing packets on the internal packet queue, we need to ensure that we have a valid vif pointer since that is required since the net namespace work. Add some assertions to verify this, but also don't crash is for some reason we don't end up with a vif pointer -- warn and drop the packet in all these cases. Since this code touches a number of hotpaths, it is intended to be temporary, or maybe configurable in the future, at least the bit that is in the path that gets hit for every packet, ieee80211_tx_pending().

* cfg80211: rework key operationJohannes Berg2009-07-241-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.

* mac80211: disconnect when user changes channelJohannes Berg2009-06-151-25/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested, we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so we might just as well disconnect right away. Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the driver will clear some internal state on channel changes like this and then get confused when we actually go clear that state from mac80211. It may look like this patch drops the no-IBSS check, but that is already handled by cfg80211 in the wext handler it provides for IBSS (cfg80211_ibss_wext_siwfreq).

* mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 againJohannes Berg2009-06-101-0/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption is used. Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also fixes a problem where frames for that particular station could be reordered when some were still on the software queues and older ones are re-injected into the software queue after them.

* mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resumeJohannes Berg2009-05-201-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending. In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down. While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work() if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers. With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend and resume where as before there where issues with some timers running during the suspend->resume cycle.

* mac80211: implement beacon filtering in softwareJohannes Berg2009-04-221-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering, there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then in the future possibly userspace). This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs by their OUI. In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can then implement the best they can do while software implements it fully. It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit; Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result updates could quickly creep into code.

* mac80211: add hardware restart functionJohannes Berg2009-04-221-0/+118
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some hardware defects may require the hardware to be re-initialised completely from scratch. Drivers would need much information (for instance the current MAC address, crypto keys, beaconing information, etc.) stored duplicated from mac80211 to be able to do this, so let mac80211 help them. The new ieee80211_restart_hw() function requires the same code as resuming, so move that code into a new ieee80211_reconfig() function in util.c and leave only the suspend code in pm.c.

Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

* mac80211: remove rate_control_clearJohannes Berg2008-10-311-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | "Clearing" the rate control algorithm is pointless, none of the algorithms actually uses this operation and it's not even invoked properly for all channel switching. Also, there's no need to since rate control algorithms work per station. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: move bss_conf into vifJohannes Berg2008-10-311-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Move bss_conf into the vif struct so that drivers can access it during ->tx without having to store it in the private data or similar. No driver updates because this is only for when they want to start using it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: introduce hw config change flagsJohannes Berg2008-10-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes mac80211 notify the driver which configuration actually changed, e.g. channel etc. No driver changes, this is just plumbing, driver authors are expected to act on this if they want to. Also remove the HW CONFIG debug printk, it's incorrect, often we configure something else. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* 802.11: clean up/fix HT supportJohannes Berg2008-10-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up a number of things: * the unusable definition of the HT capabilities/HT information information elements * variable names that are hard to understand * mac80211: move ieee80211_handle_ht to ht.c and remove the unused enable_ht parameter * mac80211: fix bug with MCS rate 32 in ieee80211_handle_ht * mac80211: fix bug with casting the result of ieee80211_bss_get_ie to an information element _contents_ rather than the whole element, add size checking (another out-of-bounds access bug fixed!) * mac80211: remove some unused return values in favour of BUG_ON checking * a few minor other things Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: clean up ieee80211_hw_config errorsJohannes Berg2008-10-311-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | Warn when ieee80211_hw_config returns an error, it shouldn't happen; remove a number of printks that would happen in such a case and one printk that is user-triggerable.

* mac80211: fix HT information element parsingJohannes Berg2008-10-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | There's no checking that the HT IEs are of the right length which can be used by an attacker to cause an out-of-bounds access by sending a too short HT information/capability IE. Fix it by simply pretending those IEs didn't exist when too short. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: fix virtual interfaces vs. injectionJohannes Berg2008-09-151-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it. As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally. Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface. This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we do now. Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't assign sequence numbers at all. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: use nl80211 interface typesJohannes Berg2008-09-151-21/+23
| | | | | | | | | | There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need to translate them any more now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: inform driver of basic ratesetJohannes Berg2008-09-151-0/+28
| | | | | | | | Drivers need to know the basic rateset to be able to configure the ACK/CTS programming in hardware correctly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: clean up scan namespaceJohannes Berg2008-09-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Most of the scan functions are called ieee80211_sta_scan_* or similar, make clean it up so they are all just called ieee80211_scan_*. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: move ieee80211_set_freq to utilsJohannes Berg2008-09-151-0/+28

* mac80211: move frame TX functionJohannes Berg2008-09-111-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more, it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
