      mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP mode · b7a530d8
      由 Jouni Malinen 提交于 
      AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.

For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.

This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
seconds), the network gets close to useless.

      mac80211: remove fragmentation offload functionality · f546638c
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      There's no driver that actually does fragmentation on the
device, and the callback is buggy (when it returns an error,
mac80211's fragmentation status is changed so reading the
frag threshold from userspace reads the new value despite
the error). Let's just remove it, if we really find some
hardware supporting it we can add it back later.

      wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat. · ccc58057
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      Three major portions to this change:

1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
   and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines.

2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused.

3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to
   size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether
   IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not.

4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack
   bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines
   modified in #3.  Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are
   replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info).

With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno.

      mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units · 566bfe5a
      由 Bruno Randolf 提交于 
      trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

      mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems · 3b96766f
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.

This patch changes key locking completely:
 * key operations are now atomic
 * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
   a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
 * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
 * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
   unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
   keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
   run before STA destruction.
 * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
   required due to key operations

This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.

Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.
