2011-09-13nl80211/cfg80211: add match filtering for sched_scanLuciano Coelho
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. At this point, the set consists of a single parameter, an SSID. This can be easily extended in the future to support more complex matches.

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.

2011-09-01tipc: Discard incoming broadcast messages that are unexpectedAllan Stephens
Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to discard messages that cannot legally be sent over the broadcast link, including: - broadcast protocol messages that do no contain state information - payload messages that are not named multicast messages - any other form of message except for bundled messages, fragmented messages, and name distribution messages. These checks are needed to prevent TIPC from handing an unexpected message to a routine that isn't prepared to handle it, which could lead to incorrect processing (up to and including invalid memory references caused by attempts to access message fields that aren't present in the message).

2011-09-01tipc: Remove deferred queue head caching during broadcast message receptionAllan Stephens

2011-09-01tipc: Fix node lock problems during broadcast message receptionAllan Stephens
Modifies TIPC's incoming broadcast packet handler to ensure that the node lock associated with the sender of the packet is held whenever node-related data structure fields are accessed.

2011-09-01tipc: Prevent broadcast link stalling when another node failsAllan Stephens
Ensure that broadcast link messages that have not been acknowledged by a newly failed node do not get an implied acknowledgement until the failed node is removed from the broadcast link's map of reachable nodes. Previously, a race condition allowed a new broadcast link message to be sent after the implicit acknowledgement processing was completed, but before the map of reachable nodes was updated, resulting in the message having an expected acknowledgement count that required the failed node to explicitly acknowledge the message. Since this would never occur the new message would remain in the broadcast link's transmit queue forever, eventually causing the link to become congested and "stall". Delaying the implicit acknowledgement processing until after the update of the map of reachable nodes eliminates this race condition and prevents stalling.

2011-09-01tipc: Enhance cleanup of broadcast link when contact with node is lostAllan Stephens
Enhances cleanup of broadcast link-related information when contact with a node is lost. 1) All broadcast link-related cleanup now occurs only if the lost node was capable of communicating over the broadcast link. 2) Following cleanup, the lost node is marked as no longer supporting the broadcast link, ensuring that any remaining broadcast messages received from that node prior to the re-establishment of a normal communication link are ignored.

2011-09-01tipc: Enhance filtering of out-dated link reset messagesAllan Stephens
Ensure TIPC ignores an out-dated link reset message whose session number predates the current session number. (Previously, TIPC only ignored an out-date reset message whose session number was equal to the current link session number.) Out-dated link reset messages should not occur under normal circumstances; however, they can be generated if a link endpoint is unable to send a link reset message right away and queues it for later delivery, but the queued message is not sent until after the link is established.

2011-09-01tipc: Display meaningful peer interface name during link creationAllan Stephens

2011-09-01tipc: Eliminate obsolete filter for unexpected unicast messagesAllan Stephens
Removes a test that ensures unicast link endpoints discard an incoming message if it will not be consumed by the node itself and cannot be forwarded to another node, since the preceding test already ensures that the message is destined for this node and single-cluster TIPC no longer performs message forwarding.

2011-09-01tipc: Remove obsolete manipulation of message re-route count fieldAllan Stephens
Eliminates code that increments and validates the re-route count field of payload messages, since the elimination of multi-cluster support means that it is no longer necessary for TIPC to forward incoming messages to another node. (The obsolete code was incorrect anyway, since it incorrectly incremented the re-route count field of messages that originated on the node that forwarded the message.)
