      mac80211: tell driver when idle · 5cff20e6
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off
      much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing
      anything, aka being idle, means:
      
       * no monitor interfaces
       * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces
       * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state
       * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network
       * we aren't trying to scan
      
      By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling
      it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change,
      we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save
      power.
      
      Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave
      state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped
      completely.
      
      This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is
      currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here
      when we need to be able to wake up with low latency.
      
      One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this:
      
        phy0: device no longer idle - in use
        wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1
        wlan0 direct probe responded
        wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
        wlan0: authenticated
      > phy0: device now idle
      > phy0: device no longer idle - in use
        wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d
        wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1)
        wlan0: associated
      
      Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have
      just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the
      userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait
      before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout
      be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what
      happens.

      mac80211: fix probe response processing · 16cf438a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Due to the use of a _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE bit, which is
      unnecessary (and I wonder why it was done that way),
      an interesting situation can arise:
       1) we try to probe an access point
       2) the AP doesn't response in time
       3) we tell userspace that we gave up
       4) the AP suddenly responds
       5) we auth/assoc with the AP
      
      I've seen 4) happen in testing with hostapd SIGSTOPped,
      and when SIGCONTinued it processes the probe requests
      that came in and send responses. But 5) is not supposed
      to happen after we tell everybody we've given up on the
      AP.
      
      To fix this, remove the _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE request bit,
      and process probe responses when we're in the relevant
      MLME state, namely IEEE80211_STA_MLME_DIRECT_PROBE.

      mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings · 57c4d7b4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
      hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
      rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
      beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
      an AP.
      
      This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
      of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
      the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
      the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
      
      NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
            to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
            drivers, some are updated in this patch.

      mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanning · f3b85252
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There are some places marked
      	/* XXX maybe racy? */
      and they really are racy because there's no locking.
      
      This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper
      locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning
      (which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions
      are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The
      scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work
      instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work
      will then take care of the rest.
      
      Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface
      that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not
      intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't
      find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked
      properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an
      interface that is associating.

      nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME · 636a5d36
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
      authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
      disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
      authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
      kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
      802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
      SME.
      
      The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
      MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
      MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
      association commands request the actual operations in two steps
      (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
      step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
      command).
      
      The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
      net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
      frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
      machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
      Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.
      
      The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
      association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
      implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
      and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
      also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
      requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
      using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.
      
      This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
      over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
      primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

      station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
      MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
      MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
      MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
      management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
      includes all the needed information.
      
      This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
      authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
      will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
      SME.

      We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within
      the same ESS for reassociation to be used properly. It is fine to
      clear this when the SSID changes, so let's move the code into
      ieee80211_sta_set_ssid().

      mac80211: start pending scan after probe/auth/assoc timed out · 11432379
      Helmut Schaa 提交于
      If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct
      probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface
      enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-,
      authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled
      anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not
      executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY).
      
      Fix this by queueing the sta work again after direct probe-, authentication-
      and association- timeout.

      mac80211: remove ieee80211_num_regular_queues · 176be728
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This inline is useless and actually makes the code _longer_
      rather than shorter.
