      mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resume · 5bb644a0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.
      In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can
      cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down.
      
      While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work()
      if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This
      should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is
      a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers.
      
      With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend
      and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
      running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of
      incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device
      in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state.

      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: add driver ops wrappers · 24487981
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver
      calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers
      for all operations.
      
      All calls are now written as
      
      	drv_<op>(local, ...);
      
      instead of
      
      	local->ops-><op>(&local->hw, ...);
      
      Where necessary, the wrappers also do existence checking and
      return default values as appropriate.

      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: clean up beacon interval settings · 57c4d7b4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
      hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
      rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
      beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
      an AP.
      
      This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
      of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
      the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
      the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
      
      NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
            to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
            drivers, some are updated in this patch.

      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.

      When the IBSS code wants to scan, but that fails, we can
      get stuck in a situation where you can never scan again.

      mac80211: fix various problems in ibss code · 0e41f715
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There are a few problems in the IBSS code:
       a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning
       b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active
       c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible
          only after all other settings are set, this helps protect
          against b)
      
      For b), we get a system crash:
