2011-12-13mac80211: Do not request FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC for HW scan.Dmitry TARNYAGIN
ieee80211_configure_filter code used local->scanning as a boolean value when it was a bit mask. Bits SCAN_COMPLETED, SCAN_ABORTED should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC filter. SCAN_HW_SCANNING should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC either, as there is no explicit filter configuration request from scan code. If a driver requires FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC mode during HW scanning, it's up to the driver to temporary enable it. Similar mistake was fixed also in ieee80211_hw_config (power configuration code).

2011-12-06mac80211: Add HT operation modes for IBSSAlexander Simon
The HT mode is set by iw (previous patchsets). The interface is set into the specified HT mode. HT mode and capabilities are announced in beacons. If we add a station that uses HT also, the fastest matching HT mode will be used for transmission. That means if we are using HT40+ and we add a station running on HT40-, we would transfer at HT20. If we join an IBSS with HT40, but the secondary channel is not available, we will fall back into HT20 as well. Allow frame aggregation to start in IBSS mode.

Get rid of the ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr struct and instead build the rtap header dynamically. This makes it easier to extend the rtap header generation in the future. Add ieee80211_tx_radiotap_len to calculate the expected size of the rtap header before generating it. Since we can't check if the rtap header fits into the requested headroom during compile time anymore add a WARN_ON_ONCE. Also move the actual rtap header generation into its own function.

2011-09-30mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notificationJohannes Berg
iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from the device, and to make use of that properly it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in the sense that it goes through the tasklet, the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe but doing it directly would cause reordering issues. This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going into an absence period without transmitting any frames that should be driver-released as in this case there's no other way to inform mac80211 that the service period ended. Note that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe functions another version of this function will be required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions. Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames.

It is transmitted either directly or through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification. Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

2011-08-08mac80211: Don't use a buf_size=0 in ADDBA requestsHelmut Schaa
According to 802.11-2007, 7.3.1.14 it is compliant to use a buf_size of 0 in ADDBA requests. But some devices (AVM Fritz Stick N) arn't able to handle that correctly and will reply with an ADDBA reponse with a buf_size of 0 which in turn will disallow BA sessions for these devices. To work around this problem, initialize hw.max_tx_aggregation_subframes to the maximum AMPDU buffer size 0x40. Using 0 as default for the bufsize was introduced in commit 5dd36bc933e8be84f8369ac64505a2938f9ce036 (mac80211: allow advertising correct maximum aggregate size).

The only thing that this actually changes is removing the RCU usage of key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has a single assignment done before the key even goes live).

2011-05-16cfg80211: advertise possible interface combinationsJohannes Berg
Add the ability to advertise interface combinations in nl80211. This allows the driver to indicate what the combinations are that it supports. "Combinations" of just a single interface are implicit, as previously. Note that cfg80211 will enforce that the restrictions are met, but not for all drivers yet (once all drivers are updated, we can remove the flag and enforce for all). When no combinations are actually supported, an empty list will be exported so that userspace can know if the kernel exported this info or not (although it isn't clear to me what tools using the info should do if the kernel didn't export it). Since some interface types are purely virtual/software and don't fit the restrictions, those are exposed in a new list of pure SW types, not subject to restrictions.

When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211.

2011-02-18mac80211: fix 2.4 GHz 40 MHz disablingJohannes Berg
The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations. To fix this, clear the 40 MHz bits from the sband completely instead of overriding where used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-02-09mac80211: Ensure power-level set properly for scanning.Ben Greear

2011-02-09mac80211: Allow scanning on existing channel-type.Ben Greear
Previous code set the channel type to NO_HT, but it appears that NO_HT packets can be sent on any channel type, so we do not need to change the channel type as long as the channel is correct.

2011-02-04mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.Ben Greear
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work, and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is the current operating channel. * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL and is-scanning flags instead. * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured for the operating channel. * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.

Some devices don't support the maximum AMDPU buffer size of 64, so we need to add an option to configure this in the hardware configuration. This value will be used in the ADDBA response instead of the value suggested in the request, if the latter is greater than the max supported.

2011-01-13mac80211: fix lockdep warningJohannes Berg
Since the introduction of the fixes for the reorder timer, mac80211 will cause lockdep warnings because lockdep confuses local->skb_queue and local->rx_skb_queue and treats their lock as the same. However, their locks are different, and are valid in different contexts (the former is used in IRQ context, the latter in BH only) and the only thing to be done is mark the former as a different lock class so that lockdep can tell the difference.

2011-01-04mac80211: serialize rx path workersChristian Lamparter
This patch addresses the issue of serialization between the main rx path and various reorder release timers. <http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html> It converts the previously local "frames" queue into a global rx queue [rx_skb_queue]. This way, everyone (be it the main rx-path or some reorder release timeout) can add frames to it. Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers] is needed. All other threads which have lost the race of "runnning_rx_handler" can now simply "return", knowing that the thread who had the "edge" will also take care of their workload.

2010-12-22mac80211: make LED trigger names available earlyJohannes Berg
The throughput trigger will require doing LED classdev/trigger handling before register_hw(), so drivers should have access to the trigger names before it. If trigger registration fails, this will still make the trigger name available, but that's not a big problem since the default trigger will the simply not be found.
