2012-03-12mac80211: refactor common auth/assoc setup codeJohannes Berg
As associating is possible without first authenticating (for FT over DS) association also has to be able to switch to the right channel, insert the station entry etc. Factor out this common code into a new function called ieee80211_prep_connection().

2012-03-12mac80211: set channel back after disassociatingJohannes Berg
As we've discussed, we want to avoid channel changes while associated. While the part when we actually associate needs a bit more work, the bit that happens on disassociating can be changed quite easily. Move the channel type change later in the disassociate process to set the channel only after the driver was told that it's now disassociated. As the driver could expect powersave to be enabled only when associated, this thus results in splitting the config call, but overall what happens makes more sense this way.

2012-03-12mac80211: Limit TID buffering during BA session setup/teardownHelmut Schaa
While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of- memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in process context while frames can still come via softirq. Apply a limitation to the TIDs pending queue to avoid consuming too much memory in this situation. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-03-07mac80211: Filter duplicate IE idsPaul Stewart
mac80211 is lenient with respect to reception of corrupted beacons. Even if the frame is corrupted as a whole, the available IE elements are still passed back and accepted, sometimes replacing legitimate data. It is unknown to what extent this "feature" is made use of, but it is clear that in some cases, this is detrimental. One such case is reported in http://crosbug.com/26832 where an AP corrupts its beacons but not its probe responses. One approach would be to completely reject frames with invaid data (for example, if the last tag extends beyond the end of the enclosing PDU). The enclosed approach is much more conservative: we simply prevent later IEs from overwriting the state from previous ones. This approach hopes that there might be some salient data in the IE stream before the corruption, and seeks to at least prevent that data from being overwritten. This approach will fix the case above. Further, we flag element structures that contain data we think might be corrupted, so that as we fill the mac80211 BSS structure, we try not to replace data from an un-corrupted probe response with that of a corrupted beacon, for example. Short of any statistics gathering in the various forms of AP breakage, it's not possible to ascertain the side effects of more stringent discarding of data.

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.

2012-02-27mac80211: fix auth/assoc data & timer leakJohannes Berg

2012-02-09mac80211: Fix a rwlock bad magic bugMohammed Shafi Shajakhan
read_lock(&tpt_trig->trig.leddev_list_lock) is accessed via the path ieee80211_open (->) ieee80211_do_open (->) ieee80211_mod_tpt_led_trig (->) ieee80211_start_tpt_led_trig (->) tpt_trig_timer before initializing it. the intilization of this read/write lock happens via the path ieee80211_led_init (->) led_trigger_register, but we are doing 'ieee80211_led_init' after 'ieeee80211_if_add' where we register netdev_ops. so we access leddev_list_lock before initializing it and causes the following bug in chrome laptops with AR928X cards with the following script while true do sudo modprobe -v ath9k sleep 3 sudo modprobe -r ath9k sleep 3 done BUG: rwlock bad magic on CPU#1, wpa_supplicant/358, f5b9eccc Pid: 358, comm: wpa_supplicant Not tainted 3.0.13 #1 Call Trace: [<8137b9df>] rwlock_bug+0x3d/0x47 [<81179830>] do_raw_read_lock+0x19/0x29 [<8137f063>] _raw_read_lock+0xd/0xf [<f9081957>] tpt_trig_timer+0xc3/0x145 [mac80211] [<f9081f3a>] ieee80211_mod_tpt_led_trig+0x152/0x174 [mac80211] [<f9076a3f>] ieee80211_do_open+0x11e/0x42e [mac80211] [<f9075390>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x26/0x13c [mac80211] [<f9076d97>] ieee80211_open+0x48/0x4c [mac80211] [<812dbed8>] __dev_open+0x82/0xab [<812dc0c9>] __dev_change_flags+0x9c/0x113 [<812dc1ae>] dev_change_flags+0x18/0x44 [<8132144f>] devinet_ioctl+0x243/0x51a [<81321ba9>] inet_ioctl+0x93/0xac [<812cc951>] sock_ioctl+0x1c6/0x1ea [<812cc78b>] ? might_fault+0x20/0x20 [<810b1ebb>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x46e/0x4a2 [<810a6ebb>] ? fget_light+0x2f/0x70 [<812ce549>] ? sys_recvmsg+0x3e/0x48 [<810b1f35>] sys_ioctl+0x46/0x69 [<8137fa77>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x2 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Gary Morain <gmorain@google.com> Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Cc: Abhijit Pradhan <abhijit@qca.qualcomm.com> Cc: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Cc: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Tested-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-02-08mac80211: do not call rate control .tx_status before .rate_initFelix Fietkau
Most rate control implementations assume .get_rate and .tx_status are only called once the per-station data has been fully initialized. minstrel_ht crashes if this assumption is violated.

2012-02-08mac80211: rename mesh static path_lookup()Luis R. Rodriguez
If you want to use mesh support from mac80211 on a recent kernel on 2.6.24 you'll run into a name clash when compiling against include/linux/namei.h, so rename this routine. /home/mcgrof/tmp/compat-wireless-3.2.5-1/net/mac80211/mesh_pathtbl.c: At top level: /home/mcgrof/tmp/compat-wireless-3.2.5-1/net/mac80211/mesh_pathtbl.c:342:26: error: conflicting types for ‘path_lookup’ include/linux/namei.h:71:12: note: previous declaration of ‘path_lookup’ was here Although this could sit as a separate patch in compat-wireless it seems best to just merge upstream.

2012-02-06mac80211: call rate control only after initJohannes Berg
There are situations where we don't have the necessary rate control information yet for station entries, e.g. when associating. This currently doesn't really happen due to the dummy station handling; explicitly disabling rate control when it's not initialised will allow us to remove dummy stations.
