      mac80211: add explicit monitor interface if needed · 4b6f1dd6
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do
      will break pure injection unless we handle monitor
      interfaces explicitly. One possible option would
      be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor
      mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API
      since we already need to have queue assignments
      handled per virtual interface.
      
      So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor
      interface that is added whenever all active vifs
      are monitors. We could also use the state of one
      of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would
      be complicated, so allocate separate state.

      mac80211: optimise station flags · c2c98fde
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been
      something that I wanted to get rid of, this
      finally does the conversion to atomic bitops.
      
      The conversion itself is straight-forward in
      most places, a few things needed to change a
      bit since we can no longer use multiple bits
      at the same time.
      
      On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code
      size reduction:
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex
       427861	  23648	   1008	 452517	  6e7a5	before

      mac80211: use common work struct · 64592c8f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      IBSS, managed and mesh modes all have their
      own work struct, and in the future we want
      to also use it in other modes to process
      frames from the now common skb queue.
      
      This also makes the skb queue and work safe
      to use from other interface types.

      mac80211: simplify station/aggregation code · 2a419056
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep · 34e89507
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Many drivers would like to sleep during station
      addition and removal, and currently have a high
      complexity there from not being able to.
      
      This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
      sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
      of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
      the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
      fail.
      
      The reason we didn't do this previously is that
      the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
      RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
      This patch will keep the station allocation in
      that path, but moves adding the station to the
      driver out of line. Since the addition can now
      fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
      rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
      station but never tell the driver about it in
      the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
      a driver that has a low limit on the number of
      stations and that cannot talk to any stations
      that are not known to it, we need to do come up
      with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
      maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

      mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue · 42935eca
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
      to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
      takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
      really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
      the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
      
      We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
      be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
      the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
      to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
      
        * ieee80211_queue_work()
        * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
      
      These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
      suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
      flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
      but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
      work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
      someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
      suspend cycle.
      
      Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
      in the mac80211 stop() callback.

      mac80211: disable beacons before removing the associated interface · 97af7432
      Bob Copeland 提交于
      When downing interfaces, it's a good idea to tell the driver to
      stop sending beacons; that way the driver doesn't need special
      code in ops->remove_interface() when it should already handle the
      case in bss_info_changed().
      
      This fixes a potential crash with at least ath5k since the vif
      pointer will be nullified while beacon interrupts are still active.

      mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume · 5bb644a0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
      In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
      cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.
      
      While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
      if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
      should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
      a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.
      
      With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
      and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
      running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
      incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
      in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.
