2012-08-20mac80211: add supported rates change notification in IBSSAntonio Quartulli
In IBSS it is possible that the supported rates set for a station changes over time (e.g. it gets first initialised as an empty set because of no available information about rates and updated later). In this case the driver has to be notified about the change in order to update its internal table accordingly (if needed). This behaviour is needed by all those drivers that handle rc internally but leave stations management to mac80211 Reported-by: Gui Iribarren <gui@altermundi.net> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> [Johannes - add docs, validate IBSS mode only, fix compilation] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-20mac80211: clean up mpath_move_to_queue()Thomas Pedersen
Use skb_queue_walk_safe instead, and fix a few issues: - didn't free old skbs on moving - didn't react to failed skb alloc - needlessly held a local pointer to the destination frame queue - didn't check destination queue length before adding skb Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-20mac80211: use skb_queue_walk() in mesh_path_assign_nexthopThomas Pedersen

2012-08-20mac80211: avoid using synchronize_rcu in ieee80211_set_probe_respEyal Shapira
This could take a while (100ms+) and may delay sending assoc resp in AP mode with WPS or P2P GO (as setting the probe resp takes place there). We've encountered situations where the delay was big enough to cause connection problems with devices like Galaxy Nexus. Switch to using call_rcu with a free handler.

2012-08-13mac80211: fix unnecessary beacon update after peering status changeMarco Porsch
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is called everytime a peer link is established or closed, because the accepting_plinks flag in the meshconf IE *might* have changed. With this patch the corresponding functions return the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON flag when a beacon update is necessary. Also it makes mesh_accept_plinks_update the common place to update the accepting_plinks flag. mesh_accept_plinks_update is called upon plink change and also periodically from ieee80211_mesh_housekeeping. Thus, it also picks up changes of local->num_sta. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@etit.tu-chemnitz.de> Acked-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-08-03mac80211: skb leak in mesh_plink_frame_tx()Thomas Pedersen

2012-08-03mac80211: remove ieee80211_clean_sdata()Thomas Pedersen

2012-08-03mac80211: improve cleanup when leaving meshThomas Pedersen
It is not necessary to stop the mesh beacon in the mac80211 ndo_stop handler, since cfg80211 has already left the mesh on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN notification. Also some improvements to ieee80211_stop_mesh(): - flush mpath entries. - flush sta entries per-sdata so we don't remove entries belonging to other vifs on the same hw.

2012-08-01mac80211: clear timer bits when disconnectingJohannes Berg
There's a corner case that can happen when we suspend with a timer running, then resume and disconnect. If we connect again, suspend and resume we might start timers that shouldn't be running. Reset the timer flags to avoid this. This affects both mesh and managed modes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-01mac80211: reset station MLME flags upon new associationJohannes Berg
When associating anew, the old station MLME flags should be cleared. The only exception is the 40 MHz disable flag as it might have been set while the channel was set in a previous authentication attempt so it needs to be kept intact. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-31mac80211: use correct channel in TXJohannes Berg
Since we only need the band, remove the channel pointer from struct ieee80211_tx_data and also assign it properly, depending on context, to the correct operating or current channel. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: fix current vs. operating channel in preq/beaconJohannes Berg
When sending probe requests, e.g. during software scanning, these will go out on the *current* channel, so their IEs need to be built from the current channel. At other times, e.g. for beacons or probe request templates, the IEs will be used on the *operating* channel and using the current channel instead might result in errors. Add the appropriate parameters to respect the difference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: use oper_channel in utils and configJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: set channel only once during auth/assocJohannes Berg
There's no need to set up the channel during auth and again during assoc, just do it once. Currently this doesn't result in any changes since calling hw_config() with an unchanged channel will return early, but with the channel context work this has an impact on channel context assignment.

2012-07-31mac80211: rename sta to new_staJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: supress HT/VHT disable if not supportedJohannes Berg

2012-07-31mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller
Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

2012-07-31mac80211: don't call mgd_prepare_tx when associatedEmmanuel Grumbach
This doesn't make any sense since we are expected to be on the medium or at least to Tx only when we are on the right channel and the AP/GO can hear us. Move the call to mgd_prepare_tx() for deauth to be only done in case we're sending a deauth while not associated.

2012-07-31mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoringJohannes Berg
If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection. If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring, then it won't drop the connection right away but probe the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the connection was actually lost. Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW does connection monitoring. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-30mac80211: don't clear sched_scan_sdata on sched scan stop requestEliad Peller
ieee80211_request_sched_scan_stop() cleared local->sched_scan_sdata. However, sched_scan_sdata should be cleared only after the driver calls ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() (like with normal hw scan). Clearing sched_scan_sdata too early caused ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped_work to exit prematurely without properly cleaning all the sched scan resources and without calling cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped (so userspace wasn't notified about sched scan completion).

on disassoc, ieee80211_set_disassoc() goes out of PS before indicating BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC (not sure why this is needed, but some drivers might count on the current behavior). However, it does it after sending the disassoc frame, which results in null-data frame being sent (in order to go out of ps) after we were already sent the disassoc, which is invalid.
