      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.

      mac80211: disconnect when user changes channel · 7e9debe9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If we do not disconnect when a channel switch is requested,
      we end up eventually detection beacon loss from the AP and
      then disconnecting, without ever really telling the AP, so
      we might just as well disconnect right away.
      
      Additionally, this fixes a problem with iwlwifi where the
      driver will clear some internal state on channel changes
      like this and then get confused when we actually go clear
      that state from mac80211.
      
      It may look like this patch drops the no-IBSS check, but
      that is already handled by cfg80211 in the wext handler it
      provides for IBSS (cfg80211_ibss_wext_siwfreq).

      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: 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/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi · e4e72fb4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
      mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
      it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
      starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
      
      To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
      queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
      track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
      to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
      two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
      mac80211 counterparts.

      The pending packets code is quite incomprehensible, uses memory barriers

      mac80211: rewrite fragmentation · 2de8e0d9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the
      fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent
      and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
      make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next
      and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all
      code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
      to walk the skb->next list.
      
      This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code,
      which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing.

      nl80211: Remove NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE · 65fc73ac
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      The functionality that NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE provided can now
      be achieved with cleaner design by adding IE(s) into
      NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN, NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE,
      NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE, NL80211_CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE, and
      NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE.
      
      Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or
      known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and
      taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE
      processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order
      in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove
      the implementation of this command for now. The enum values themselves
      are left to avoid changing the nl80211 command or attribute numbers.

      mac80211: split IBSS/managed code · 46900298
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
      The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
      the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
      a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.
      
      This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
      sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
      way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
      applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
      functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
      rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

      mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queues · 96f5e66e
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.
      
      This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
      but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
      version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
      which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
      currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
      that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).
      
      This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
      execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
      this:
       1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
          fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
          frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
          single frame with its fragments)
       2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
          per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
          when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
          onto the queue from 1)
       3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
          mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
          mac80211 again
      
      This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
      frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

      mac80211: fix virtual interfaces vs. injection · 25d834e1
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
      from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
      because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
      those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
      indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
      passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
      
      As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
      a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
      
      Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
      the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
      a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
      This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
      interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
      entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
      address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
      do now.
      
      Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
      assign sequence numbers at all.
