      mac80211: do not pass PS frames out of mac80211 again · 8f77f384
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      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: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed · 2d0ddec5
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
      BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
      other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
      config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
      passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

      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.
