Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries to figure out whether the AP is really gone. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to transmit the next unicast frame. This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware needs to fall back to the probe request method. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count. With this beacon loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).

When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to different AP VLAN interfaces. However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually use broadcast traffic. Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP interface is still sent to the driver. That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in hardware.

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

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: NBrian Cavagnolo <brian@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while reading through the code. Patch below. The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local variable rather than a int one. Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with -ENOMEM in that case. Signed-off-by: NJesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames: 1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag. 2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was ACKed or not.
