2009-04-22mac80211: fix IBSS code to not sleep while atomicJohannes Berg
With the RCU locking here we sleep while in an atomic context, since we can sleep just use mutex locking for the interface list instead of RCU. Sorry, seems I didn't get that in my UML test.

2009-04-22mac80211: convert to cfg80211 IBSS APIJohannes Berg
This converts mac80211 to the new cfg80211 IBSS API, the wext handling functions are called where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-03-27mac80211: ieee80211_ibss_commit() cleanupAlina Friedrichsen
Don't call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly, like it's done in STA mode, so that the commit() call is more harmless respectively has less site-effects. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-03-05mac80211: Update IBSS beacon timestamp properlySujith
In IBSS mode, the beacon timestamp has to be filled with the BSS's timestamp when joining, and set to zero when creating a new BSS. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-27mac80211: Give it some time to do the TSF syncAlina Friedrichsen
Give slow hardware some time to do the TSF sync, to not run into an IBSS merging endless loop in some rarely situations. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-27mac80211: Don't merge with the same BSSIDAlina Friedrichsen
It was not a good idea to do a TSF reset on strange IBSS merges to the same BSSID. For example it will break the TSF sync of ath9k completely and it is unnecessary as all hardware I have tested do a TSF sync to a higher value automatically and IBSS merges are only done to higher TSF values. It only need a TSF reset to accept a lower value, when the IBSS network is changed manually. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-02-27mac80211: Introduce a generic commit() to apply changesAlina Friedrichsen
This patch introduces a generic commit() function which initiate a new network joining process. It should be called after some interface config changes, so that the changes get applied more cleanly. Currently set_ssid() and set_bssid() call it. Others can be added in future patches. In version 1 the header files was forgotten, sorry.

2009-02-27mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg
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.
