      cfg80211: enforce lack of interface combinations · 8e8b41f9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      My grand plan to allow drivers to gradually move over
      to advertising virtual interface combinations and only
      enforce with drivers that do want it enforced doesn't
      seem to be working out, only Christian ever added the
      advertising (to carl9170), nobody else did.
      
      Begin enforcing combinations in cfg80211 so that users
      can rely on the information reported about a device.

      There was a deadlock when rfkill-blocking a wireless interface,
      because we were locking the rdev mutex on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN to stop
      sched_scans that were eventually running.  The rfkill block code was
      already holding a mutex under rdev:

      cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinations · 7527a782
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211.
      This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are
      that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are
      implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that
      the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all
      drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all).
      
      When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will
      be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported
      this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using
      the info should do if the kernel didn't export it).
      
      Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't
      fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW
      types, not subject to restrictions. This mainly exists to handle
      AP-VLAN and monitor interfaces in mac80211.

      cfg80211/nl80211: add support for scheduled scans · 807f8a8c
      Luciano Coelho 提交于
      Implement new functionality for scheduled scan offload.  With this feature we
      can scan automatically at certain intervals.
      
      The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on
      desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily.
      
      Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN
      commands to the nl80211 interface.  When results are available they are
      reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events.  The userspace is
      informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a
      NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by
      the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

      cfg80211: Fix power save state after interface type change · bf6a0579
      Juuso Oikarinen 提交于
      Currently cfg80211 only configures the PSM state to the driver upon creation
      of a new virtual interface, but not after interface type change. The mac80211
      on the other hand reinitializes its sdata structure every time the interface
      type is changed, losing the PSM configuration.
      
      Hence, if the interface type is changed to, say, ad-hoc and then back to
      managed, "iw wlan0 get power_save" will claim that PSM is enabled, when in
      fact on mac80211 level it is not.
      
      Fix this in cfg80211 by configuring the PSM state to the driver each time
      the interface is brought up instead of just when the interface is created.

      cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands · 29cbe68c
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      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.

      nl80211: add power save commands · ffb9eb3d
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      The most needed command from nl80211, which Wireless Extensions had,
      is support for power save mode. Add a simple command to make it possible
      to enable and disable power save via nl80211.
      
      I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the
      timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.
      Basically there were three reasons:
      
      Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.
      Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and
      still make sense to users, will be very difficult.
      
      Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state
      of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict
      what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we
      need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding
      now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.
      
      Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for
      debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.
      For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related
      to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically
      optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network
      and other traffic parameters.
      
      Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend
      this command with more features, if there's a need for that.

      cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames · 026331c4
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      This implements a new command to register for action frames
      that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel
      rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that
      it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but
      the socket can be closed for that.
      
      Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded
      to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the
      cfg80211 API helps implementing that.
      
      Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows
      doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be
      used either to exchange action frames on the current
      operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are
      currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public
      Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

      cfg80211: export multiple MAC addresses in sysfs · ef15aac6
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will
      need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the
      MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask.
      
      If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed
      that it will be able to deal with that many different
      addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones
      programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the
      device should deal addresses within that mask based
      on an arbitrary "base address".
      
      To test it all and show how it is used, add support
      to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with
      addresses different from the default.

      nl80211: Add new WIPHY attribute COVERAGE_CLASS · 81077e82
      Lukáš Turek 提交于
      The new attribute NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS sets IEEE 802.11
      Coverage Class, which depends on maximum distance of nodes in a
      wireless network. It's required for long distance links (more than a few
      hundred meters).
      
      The attribute is now ignored by two non-mac80211 drivers, rndis and
      iwmc3200wifi, together with WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_SHORT and
      WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_LONG. If it turns out to be a problem, we could split
      set_wiphy_params callback or add new capability bits.

      wireless : use a dedicated workqueue for cfg80211. · e60d7443
      Alban Browaeys 提交于
      This patch moves the works cleanup, scan and events to a cfg80211
      dedicated workqueue.
      
      Platform driver like eeepc-laptop ought to use works to rfkill (as
      new rfkill does lock in rfkill_unregister and the platform driver is
      called from rfkill_switch_all which also lock the same mutex).
      This raise a new issue in itself that the work scheduled by the platform
      driver to the global worqueue calls wiphy_unregister which flush_work
      scan and event works (which thus flush works on the global workqueue inside
      a work on the global workqueue) and also put on hold the  wdev_cleanup_work
       (which prevents the dev_put on netdev thus indefinite Usage count error on
      wifi device).

      cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces · ad4bb6f8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
      (in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
      doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
      networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
      need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
      help here. The wireless address format used for these
      links has only space for three addresses, the
       * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
       * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
         the case of managed mode
       * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
         network segment
      
      In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
      must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
      
      To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
      wireless interface to a bridge.
      
      Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
      and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
      it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
      up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.
