2015-01-05Revert "mac80211: Fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counter"Johannes Berg1-3/+9
This reverts commit ca34e3b5c808385b175650605faa29e71e91991b. It turns out that the p54 and cw2100 drivers assume that there's tailroom even when they don't say they really need it. However, there's currently no way for them to explicitly say they do need it, so for now revert this. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90331.

2014-12-17mac80211: free management frame keys when removing stationJohannes Berg1-1/+1
When writing the code to allow per-station GTKs, I neglected to take into account the management frame keys (index 4 and 5) when freeing the station and only added code to free the first four data frame keys. Fix this by iterating the array of keys over the right length.

2014-12-12mac80211: update the channel context after channel switchEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+4
When the channel switch has been made, a vif is now using the channel context which was reserved. When that happens, we need to update the channel context since its parameters may change. I hit a case in which I switched to a 40Mhz channel but the reserved channel context was still on 20Mhz. The rate control would try to send 40Mhz packets on a 20Mhz channel context and that made iwlwifi's firmware unhappy.

2014-12-12mac80211: fix multicast LED blinking and counterAndreas Müller1-5/+6
As multicast-frames can't be fragmented, "dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount" stopped being incremented after the use-after-free fix. Furthermore, the RX-LED will be triggered by every multicast frame (which wouldn't happen before) which wouldn't allow the LED to rest at all. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89431 which also had the patch.

Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> says: "This time I have Felix's no-status rate control work, which will allow drivers to work better with rate control even if they don't have perfect status reporting. In addition to this, a small hwsim fix from Patrik, one of the regulatory patches from Arik, and a number of cleanups and fixes I did myself. Of note is a patch where I disable CFG80211_WEXT so that compatibility is no longer selectable - this is intended as a wake-up call for anyone who's still using it, and is still easily worked around (it's a one-line patch) before we fully remove the code as well in the future."

2014-11-19mac80211: synchronously reserve TID per stationLiad Kaufman6-0/+147
In TDLS (e.g., TDLS off-channel) there is a requirement for some drivers to supply an unused TID between the AP and the device to the FW, to allow sending PTI requests and to allow the FW to aggregate on a specific TID for better throughput. To ensure that the allocated TID is indeed unused, this patch introduces an API for blocking the driver from TXing on that TID.

2014-11-19mac80211: add function to create data frame template including keyJohannes Berg2-0/+34
For some TDLS channel switch implementations data frames need to be sent by the firmware based on a template. This template should be created by mac80211, and thus needs to properly be built from an 802.3 frame into an 802.11 frame. In addition, the device will need the key information so the select_key handler needs to be run. However, the driver/device will be responsible for all of the crypto encapsulation, as the sequence numbers etc. cannot be built by the host anyway in this case since it's a template to be used multiple times.

The commit 5935839ad73583781b8bbe8d91412f6826e218a4 "mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by throughput & probability" introduced a crash on rate sorting that occurs when the rate added to the sorting array is faster than all the previous rates. Due to an off-by-one error, it reads the rate index from tp_list[-1], which contains uninitialized stack garbage, and then uses the resulting index for accessing the group rate stats, leading to a crash if the garbage value is big enough.
