      mac80211: Fix mac80211.h docbook comments · a839e463
      Jonathan Corbet 提交于
      A couple of enums in mac80211.h became structures recently, but the
      comments didn't follow suit, leading to errors like:
      
        Error(.//include/net/mac80211.h:367): Cannot parse enum!
        Documentation/DocBook/Makefile:93: recipe for target 'Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml' failed
        make[1]: *** [Documentation/DocBook/80211.xml] Error 1
        Makefile:1361: recipe for target 'mandocs' failed
        make: *** [mandocs] Error 2
      
      Fix the comments comments accordingly.  Added a couple of other small
      comment fixes while I was there to silence other recently-added docbook
      warnings.

      mac80211: lock rate control · 35c347ac
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
      control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
      likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.
      
      In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
      update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
      when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
      can cause firmware crashes.
      
      Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
      just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
      data structures the algorithms maintain.
      
      I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
      advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
      running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
      this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
      client. With this change, the system survives this test.

      mac80211: introduce plink lock for plink fields · 48bf6bed
      Bob Copeland 提交于
      The mesh plink code uses sta->lock to serialize access to the
      plink state fields between the peer link state machine and the
      peer link timer.  Some paths (e.g. those involving
      mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across
      frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed.  Add a new spinlock
      just for plink access.
