      mac80211: fix channel selection bug · 3d9646d0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When trying to connect to an AP that advertises HT but not
      VHT, the mac80211 code erroneously uses the configuration
      from the AP as is instead of checking it against regulatory
      and local capabilities. This can lead to using an invalid
      or even inexistent channel (like 11/HT40+).
      
      Additionally, the return flags from downgrading must be
      ORed together, to collect them from all of the downgrades.
      Also clarify the message.

      mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status · 1672c0e3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When sending authentication/association frames they
      might take a bit of time to go out because we may
      have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in
      the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case
      the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too
      short if the beacon interval is relatively large.
      
      For drivers that report TX status we can do better.
      Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it
      only when the frame status arrives. Since then the
      frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the
      typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait
      100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted
      try again right away instead of waiting.

      mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_period · c65dd147
      Emmanuel Grumbach 提交于
      Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period,
      mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association.
      This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be
      able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the
      association, if they get it at all.
      
      To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed
      with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM
      becomes known. This might be when changing to associated,
      or later when the entire association was done with only
      probe response information.
      
      Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to
      IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately
      reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is
      no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period
      now, just not before association.

      mac80211: fix aggregation state with current drivers · 8147dc7f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when
      aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH
      or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done,
      like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on
      a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens
      in the following way:
      
       - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested
       - driver marks TID as emptying
       - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets
         to the TX pending queues and also let new packets
         through to the driver
       - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely
         converted to the new API
      
      In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning:
      
      WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0

      Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station
      is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only
      happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race
      just let the race not reach the drivers by making two
      changes:
       1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in
          the managed mode code, the same thing will be done
          when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy.
       2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is
          requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped.
          It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta
          later, but until then any racy packets will be put
          onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted
          which is fine since the station is being removed.

      cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access races · 9caf0364
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently
      overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some
      other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the
      IEs concurrently.
      
      Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct
      that holds the data and length and protecting access
      to this new struct with RCU.

      Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a

      This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is
      currently restricted to channel contexts since there
      are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As
      I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the
      channel context API, I won't convert the previous API

      mac80211: fix managed mode channel flags handling · 028e8da0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If ieee80211_prep_channel() decides that HT should be
      disabled (because the HT IEs from the AP were invalid)
      it will set the IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_HT to not send
      HT capabilities to the AP when associating. If this
      happens during authentication, the flag will be lost
      and we send HT frames, even if the channel config was
      set up for non-HT. This can lead to issues.
      
      Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero
      when the channel context is released so that the flag
      resetting in ieee80211_mgd_assoc() isn't necessary.
      
      To make the code a bit easier move the call to release
      the channel in ieee80211_set_disassoc() to the end of
      the function together with the flag resetting (which
      needs to be at the end to avoid timers setting flags.)
