      cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode · 9bc383de
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      It's very likely that not many devices will support
      four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
      capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
      and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
      Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
      and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
      improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
      4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
      it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
      station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

      mac80211: remove sent_ps_buffered · ff9458d3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This variable is set once, and tested once.
      However, the code path that can set it is
      mutually exclusive with the code path that
      tests it, so the test is always true. Thus
      we also don't need to set it either and can
      just remove the variable.

      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.

      cfg80211/mac80211: use debugfs_remove_recursive · 7bcfaf2f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
      by using debugfs_remove_recursive().
      
      First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
      so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
      added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
      ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).
      
      Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
      where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
      as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
      still need to be handled but can now be removed without
      needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.

      mac80211: FIF_PSPOLL filter flag · e3b90ca2
      Igor Perminov 提交于
      When an interface is configured in the AP mode, the mac80211
      implementation doesn't inform the driver to receive PS Poll frames.
      It leads to inability to communicate with power-saving stations
      reliably.
      The FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed by mac80211 to
      ieee80211_ops.configure_filter when an interface is in the AP mode.
      And it's ok, because we don't want to receive ACK frames and other
      control ones, but only PS Poll ones.
      
      This patch introduces the FIF_PSPOLL filter flag in addition to
      FIF_CONTROL, which means for the driver "pass PS Poll frames".
      
      This flag is passed to the driver:
      A) When an interface is configured in the AP mode.
      B) In all cases, when the FIF_CONTROL flag was passed earlier (in
      addition to it).

      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.

      mac80211: monitor the connection · b291ba11
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With the recent MLME rework I accidentally removed the connection
      monitoring code. In order to add it back, this patch will add new
      code to monitor both for beacon loss and for the connection actually
      working, with possibly separate triggers.
      
      When no unicast frames have been received from the AP for (currently)
      two seconds, we will send the AP a probe request. Also, when we don't
      see beacons from the AP for two seconds, we do the same (but those
      times need not be the same due to the way the code is now written).
      
      Additionally, clean up the parameters to the ieee80211_set_disassoc()
      function that I need here, those are all useless except sdata.

      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.

      cfg80211: fix locking · 667503dd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into
      the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can
      race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against
      leaving an IBSS, etc.
      
      Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects
      most of the per-interface data that we need to keep
      track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock
      everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to
      work structs so that we don't require being able to
      sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception
      to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that
      currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier
      to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future
      drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever
      exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like
      mac80211 anyway...
      
      In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc
      properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will
      determine locking requirements.

      With the cfg80211 SME mac80211 now has much less
      to keep track of, but, on the other hand, for FT
      it needs to be able to keep track of at least one
      authentication being in progress while associated.
      So convert from a single state machine to having
      small ones for all the different things we need to
      do. For real FT it will still need work wrt. PS,
      but this should be a good step.
