2011-01-05mac80211: implement hardware offload for remain-on-channelJohannes Berg1-2/+7
This allows drivers to support remain-on-channel offload if they implement smarter timing or need to use a device implementation like iwlwifi. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-12-22mac80211: selective throughput LED trigger activeJohannes Berg1-1/+15
The throughput LED trigger was always active when the radio was enabled. In most cases that's likely the desired behaviour, but iwlwifi requires it to be only active when one of the virtual interfaces is actually "connected" in some way.

2010-12-22mac80211: add throughput based LED blink triggerJohannes Berg1-0/+1
iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED based on throughput. Implement this generically in mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink frequencies depending on their desired behaviour and max throughput. All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class device, best with blink hardware offload.

2010-12-06cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg1-13/+1
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

2010-11-08mac80211: unset SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL when cancelling a scanBrian Cavagnolo1-3/+3
For client STA interfaces, ieee80211_do_stop unsets the relevant interface's SDATA_STATE_RUNNING state bit prior to cancelling an interrupted scan. When ieee80211_offchannel_return is invoked as part of cancelling the scan, it doesn't bother unsetting the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit because it sees that the interface is down. Normally this doesn't matter because when the client STA interface is brought back up, it will probably issue a scan. But in some cases (e.g., the user changes the interface type while it is down), the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit will remain set. This prevents the interface queues from being started. So we cancel the scan before unsetting the SDATA_STATE_RUNNING bit. Signed-off-by: Brian Cavagnolo <brian@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-10-06mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old APJohannes Berg1-1/+2
When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

When a driver advertises p2p device support, mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need to be touched that are otherwise identical.

2010-09-16mac80211: set running state earlierJohannes Berg1-2/+3
When an interface is brought up, the recent changes to allow changing type-while-up only set the running bit after everything was done. This broke a number of things, including idle calculation for monitor interfaces, and it also broke WDS station insertion (although nobody noticed yet). Thus, change the code to set the running bit earlier, but keep it after the driver's add_interface was called because otherwise drivers may iterate over interfaces they haven't fully set up yet.

Add support to mac80211 for changing the interface type even when the interface is UP, if the driver supports it. To achieve this * add a new driver callback for switching, * split some of the interface up/down code out into new functions (do_open/do_stop), and * maintain an own __SDATA_RUNNING bit that will not be set during interface type, so that any other code doesn't use the interface.

2010-08-27mac80211: simplify zero address checksJohannes Berg1-25/+13
The libertas_tf special code for zero addresses is a bit too complex, it compares against a stack value instead of using is_zero_ether_addr() and tries to update all interfaces even if just the one that's being brought up needs to be changed.

2010-08-27mac80211: clean up ifdown/cleanup pathsJohannes Berg1-66/+23
There's a lot of redundant code in mac80211's interface cleanup/down, for example freeing AP beacons is done both when the interface is set DOWN as well as when it is torn down, of which only the former has any effect. Also, a bunch of things should be closer to where they matter, like the MLME timers that we should cancel when disassociating, rather than only when the interface is set DOWN. Clean up all this code.

This patch implement basic infrastructure to support use of NAPI by mac80211-based hardware drivers. Because mac80211 devices can support multiple netdevs, a dummy netdev is used for interfacing with the NAPI code in the core of the network stack. That structure is hidden from the hardware drivers, but the actual napi_struct is exposed in the ieee80211_hw structure so that the poll routines in drivers can retrieve that structure. Hardware drivers can also specify their own weight value for NAPI polling. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-07-20mac80211: fix aggregation action frame handling with AP VLANsFelix Fietkau1-2/+2
When aggregation related action frames are enqueued for further work, and they originate from a STA that is part of an AP VLAN, they are currently enqueued for the AP interface. This breaks the sta_info_get() lookup in the actual work function, and because of that, aggregation sessions are not established for this STA.

This moves the aggregation callback processing to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function rather than the tasklet. Unfortunately, this means that it extends the pkt_type hack to that skb queue.

2010-06-14mac80211: move blockack stop due to fragmentationJohannes Berg1-1/+31
There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented frame during a blockack session, in which case we will terminate that session. To simplify future work in this area that will culminate in allowing the driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the processing of this case out of the RX path into the interface work. This will simplify future work because the new place for this code doesn't require that the function will always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

2010-06-14mac80211: simplify station/aggregation codeJohannes Berg1-13/+0
A number of places use RCU locking for accessing the station list, even though they do not need to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that. While doing so, combine places where we loop over stations twice, and optimise away some of the loops by checking if the hardware supports aggregation at all first. Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right now we could resume, set up an aggregation session, and right after tear it down again due to the code that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here. Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as a workaround. Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling loop when an interface is stopped, directly after that we remove all stations from it which will also disable all aggregation sessions that may still be active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-02-15mac80211: fix netdev renameJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Fix a copy bug introduced by commit 47846c9b0c10808d9337d2e7d09361f3e0a0a71a Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:19 2009 +0100 mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev This manifested itself only in debug messages and in the debugfs rename failure that would always happen due to trying to rename the dir over itself.

2010-01-19mac80211: fix WMM AC default for non-QoS data framesFelix Fietkau1-1/+5
The WMM AC selection added to the monitor mode selection function accidentally assigns non-QoS data frames to the same AC as mgmt frames (VO). This is not serious, but should be fixed anyway. This patch assigns them to the BE AC instead. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-01-12cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate controlJouni Malinen1-2/+6
Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting which rates can be used in TX rate control. Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled. The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be removed.

2010-01-11mac80211: fix queue selection for data frames on monitor interfacesFelix Fietkau1-2/+5
When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point. If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path. Fix this by setting skb->priority based on the 802.11 header for QoS frames and using the default AC for all non-QoS frames. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-01-08mac80211: fix queue selection for packets injected via monitor interfaceLennert Buytenhek1-0/+1
Commit 'mac80211: fix skb buffering issue' added an ->ndo_select_queue() for monitor interfaces which can end up dereferencing ieee802_1d_to_ac[] beyond the end of the array for injected data packets (as skb->priority isn't guaranteed to be zero or within [0:7]), which then triggers the WARN_ON in net/core/dev.c:dev_cap_txqueue(). Fix this by always setting the priority to zero on injected data frames. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
