2011-07-21iwlagn: rewrite HW cryptoJohannes Berg
As I just discovered while doing WoWLAN, HW crypto is done wrong for GTKs: they should be programmed for the AP station ID (in the managed mode case) and the HW can actually deal with multiple group keys per station as well (which is useful in IBSS RSN but that I've chosen not to use this). To fix all this, modify the way keys are sent to the device and key offsets are allocated. After these changes, key offsets are stored into the hw_key_idx which we can then track for the key lifetime, not relying on our sta_cmd array. WEP default keys get special treatment, of course. Additionally, since I had the API for it, we can now pre-fill TKIP phase 1 keys for RX now that we can obtain the P1K from mac80211, a capability I had added for WoWLAN initially. Finally, some keys simply don't need to be added into the device's key cache -- a key that won't be used for RX is only needed in the TX header, so "pretend" to have accepted any key without adding it into the device -- no need to use up key space there for it.

2010-11-16iwlagn: reprogram AP STA after assocJohannes Berg
Instead of unconditionally sending unassoc RXON, before any assoc RXON, re-send only the AP STA entry which is required after the BSSID has been programmed into the device to set up internal filters in the microcode properly. This fixes some issues that we correlated with sending a lot of RXON commands to the device. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

By duplicating a little bit of code between 3945 and agn, we can move a lot of code into an agn specific station management file and thus reduce the amount of code in core that is dead to 3945. before: text data bss dec hex filename 212886 3872 96 216854 34f16 iwlcore.ko 620542 10448 304 631294 9a1fe iwlagn.ko 314013 3264 196 317473 4d821 iwl3945.ko after: text data bss dec hex filename 202857 3872 92 206821 327e5 iwlcore.ko 629102 10448 308 639858 9c372 iwlagn.ko 314240 3264 196 317700 4d904 iwl3945.ko delta: -10029 iwlcore.ko 8560 iwlagn.ko 227 iwl3945.ko so it's a net win even if you have both loaded, likely because a lot of EXPORT_SYMBOLs go away.

2010-07-02iwlwifi: remove key information during device restartReinette Chatre
When there is a firmware error or the firmware is reloaded for some other reason we currently clear all station information, including keys associated with them. A problem is that we do not clear some other information regarding keys that are not stored in the station structs. The consequence of this is that when the device is reconfigured after the firmware reload we can, among other things, run out of key indices.

2010-06-25iwlwifi: update LQ for bcast station on channel changeDaniel Halperin
The rate table in the bcast LQ is computed only when the station is allocated, and chooses the lowest rate for the band. Because of when this occurs, this is the 2.4 GHz band and uses the 0x420a (CCK, 1 Mbps) rate. In 5 GHz beaconing mode, this rate will prevent beacons from being sent and any other packets from being received. We can fix this by re-initializing the bcast station's LQ command when the channel is changed.

2010-05-10iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station lessJohannes Berg
Since we now store the station ID in each station struct, many places need not look at the station table any more since they can just pull the station ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and use iwl_sta_id() instead as appropriate. This reduces the amount of code needed to find the right station significantly, and works since mac80211 passes the station only after it has been fully initialised, ie. even if TX races with station addition it will only be passed to TX once the addition is complete.

2010-05-10iwlwifi: rework broadcast station managementJohannes Berg
Currently, the broadcast station is managed along with the interface type, rather than always being present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it is currently not possible to inject frames when the only virtual interface is a monitor, because in that the required broadcast station is missing. Additionally, allocating and deallocating the broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful, and the code to support this is fairly complex. So this changes completely the way we manage the broadcast station. Rather than manage it along with any interface, we now allocate it when we bring the device up, and remove it again when we bring the device down. When we bring the device up, we don't immediately program the broadcast station into it, instead we just mark it active and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it to the device. This works because an unassociated RXON is always required at least once to set up device parameters, which implies a reprogramming of stations into the device. As we now manage all stations properly, there no longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become a lot simpler.

2010-05-10iwlwifi: manage IBSS station properlyJohannes Berg
Currently iwlwifi will eventually exhaust the station table when adding the BSSID station for IBSS mode, unless the interface is set down.

2010-05-10iwlwifi: make bcast LQ command available for later restore actionsReinette Chatre
When adding the broadcast station the link quality command is generated on demand, sent to device, and disappears. It is thus not available for later cases when we need to restore stations and need to send the link quality command afterwards. Now, when first adding the broadcast station, also generate its link quality command to always be available for later restoring. Also fix an issue when adding local stations where the "in progress" state is never cleared.

2010-04-09iwlwifi: make WEP key restoring explicitJohannes Berg
The firmware clears default WEP keys on transitions to !associated, so we need to restore them just like stations. This is rather implicit as part of sending a station right now, which is odd. Make it explicit instead and only for agn since 3945 doesn't use hw crypto for WEP. Due to that, iwl_send_static_wepkey_cmd is now only used in iwl-sta.c and can be static.

2010-03-19iwlwifi: implement new mac80211 station add/remove callsReinette Chatre
mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work. This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move. First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.

2010-03-19iwlwifi: only add broadcast station onceReinette Chatre
Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211. With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after such an RXON command is sent. We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios: - only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC bit is sent - clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed. We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but do add the interface during reconfiguration. Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys are set and cleared correctly. There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is because of the lack of full station notification support and the later patches in this series that complete the station notification support will fix this.

2010-01-25iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition genericReinette Chatre
Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This seems to be an efficient solution. It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945 broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always set.

2009-11-18iwlwifi: handle unicast PS bufferingJohannes Berg
Using the new mac80211 functionality, this makes iwlwifi handle unicast PS buffering correctly. The device works like this: * when a station goes to sleep, the microcode notices this and marks the station as asleep * when the station is marked asleep, the microcode refuses to transmit to the station and rejects all frames queued to it with the failure status code TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS (a previous patch handled this correctly) * when we need to send frames to the station _although_ it is asleep, we need to tell the ucode how many, and this is asynchronous with sending so we cannot just send the frames, we need to wait for all other frames to be flushed, and then update the counter before sending out the poll response frames. This is handled partially in the driver and partially in mac80211. In order to do all this correctly, we need to * keep track of how many frames are pending for each associated client station (avoid doing it for other stations to avoid the atomic ops) * tell mac80211 that we driver-block the PS status while there are still frames pending on the queues, and once they are all rejected (due to the dest sta being in PS) unblock mac80211 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
