      mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hw · 74e2bd1f
      Wey-Yi Guy 提交于
      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.

      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: add U-APSD client support · ab13315a
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      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.
      
      Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running
      various test traffic with ping.

      mac80211: flush workqueue before calling driver ->stop() method · 678f415f
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      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.)

      mac80211: fix resume · ceb99fe0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      mac80211: split hardware scan by band · 4d36ec58
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep · 3ac64bee
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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

      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.

      cfg80211: rework key operation · fffd0934
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      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

      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.
