Enhance tracing by adding tracing for a variety of callbacks that the drivers call, and also for internal calls (currently limited to queue status). This can aid debugging what is going on in mac80211 in interaction with drivers, since we can now see what drivers call and not just what mac80211 calls in the driver.

"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

When there is a need to restart/reconfig hw, tear down all the aggregation queues and let the mac80211 and driver get in-sync to have the opportunity to re-establish the aggregation queues again. Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so mac80211 will not sending frames with aggregation bit set.

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.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Since commit "mwl8k: handle station database update for AP's sta entry via ->sta_notify()", mwl8k every now and then gets a command timeout when ifconfig'ing a STA interface down. This turns out to be due to mwl8k_stop() being called while the work queue item that was scheduled by mwl8k_sta_notify() to remove the STA entry for the associated AP is still queued, and the former disables interrupts so that when the latter eventually runs, a command completion interrupt is never seen. Fix this by changing ieee80211_stop_device() so that the workqueue is flushed before drv_stop() is called, instead of doing it the other way around as is done now. (As ->stop() is allowed to sleep, there isn't any reason for drivers to queue work from within it.) Signed-off-by: NLennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been keeping internal queues only, and even before that we never told the networking stack above the virtual interfaces about congestion. This means that packets are queued in mac80211 and the upper layers never know, possibly leading to memory exhaustion and other problems. This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding queues for the virtual interfaces as well. The injection case will use VO by default for non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

On a 32-bit machine, BIT() macro does not give the required bit value if the bit is mroe than 31. In ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc(), BIT() is suppossed to get the bit value more than 31 (42 (id of ERP_INFO_IE), 37 (CHANNEL_SWITCH_IE), (42), 32 (POWER_CONSTRAINT_IE), 45 (HT_CAP_IE), 61 (HT_INFO_IE)). As we do not get the required bit value for the above IEs, crc over these IEs are never calculated, so any dynamic change in these IEs after the association is not really handled on 32-bit platforms.

When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended to false so the driver can start doing things and we can receive frames. However, if we actually receive frames then it can end up starting some work which adds timers and then later runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries add_timer() on a pending timer. Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false, and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while resuming.

There's currently a very odd bug in mac80211 -- a hardware scan that is done while the hardware is really operating on 2.4 GHz will include CCK rates in the probe request frame, even on 5 GHz (if the driver uses the mac80211 IEs). Vice versa, if the hardware is operating on 5 GHz the 2.4 GHz probe requests will not include CCK rates even though they should. Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and requesting only per-band scans from the driver. Apparently this bug hasn't been a problem yet, but it is imaginable that some older access points get confused if confronted with such behaviour.

Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct. This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw. Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and two of them do very similar things, the code for them can be put into a shared function at the same time.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

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. Signed-off-by: NLuis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.

If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested, we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so we might just as well disconnect right away. Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the driver will clear some internal state on channel changes like this and then get confused when we actually go clear that state from mac80211.

In order to handle powersave frames properly we had needed to pass these out to the device queues again, and introduce the skb->requeue bit. This, however, also has unnecessary overhead by needing to 'clean up' already tried frames, and this clean-up code is also buggy when software encryption is used. Instead of sending the frames via the master netdev queue again, simply put them into the pending queue. This also fixes a problem where frames for that particular station could be reordered when some were still on the software queues and older ones are re-injected into the software queue after them.
