2008-09-24mac80211: make master iface not wirelessJohannes Berg
There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211, in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add checks for the master interface all over the config handlers. This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer. Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

2008-09-15mac80211: clean up scan namespaceJohannes Berg
Most of the scan functions are called ieee80211_sta_scan_* or similar, make clean it up so they are all just called ieee80211_scan_*. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-15mac80211: fix work raceJohannes Berg
When we stop an interface, the work on it may still be pending or running. We do cancel the timer, but we do not currently protect against the work struct. The race is very unlikely to hit -- it'll happen only when the driver is using mac80211's workqueue to run long-running tasks and the sta/mesh works are delayed for quite a bit. This patch fixes it by cancelling the work explicitly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-15mac80211: split off mesh handling entirelyJohannes Berg
This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS. Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces per-interface run-time memory usage. Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-08-26net/mac80211/mesh.c: correct the argument to __mesh_table_freeJulia Lawall
In the function mesh_table_grow, it is the new table not the argument table that should be freed if the function fails (cf commit bd9b448f4c0a514559bdae4ca18ca3e8cd999c6d) The semantic match that detects this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E,f; position p1,p2,p3; identifier l; statement S; @@ x = mesh_table_alloc@p1(...) ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != E = x when != mesh_table_free(x) goto@p2 l; ... when != E = x when != f(...,x,...) when any ( return \(0\|x\); | return@p3 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; p3 << r.p3; @@ print "%s: call on line %s not freed or saved before return on line %s via line %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p3[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-08-22replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriateJasper Bryant-Greene
This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat. This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be provided.

2008-05-21mac80211: Prepare mesh_table_grow to failing copy_node callback.Pavel Emelyanov
The mesh_path_node_copy() performs kmalloc() and thus - may fail (well, it does not now, but I'm fixing this right now). Its caller - the mesh_table_grow() - isn't prepared for such a trick yet. This preparation is just flush the new hash and make copy_node() return an int value. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-04-08Revert "mac80211: use a struct for bss->mesh_config"John W. Linville
This reverts commit 6c4711b4697d93424e4b1f76a9929ba844d714a5. That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of unaligned accesses to compare field by field.

2008-03-06mac80211: RCU-ify STA info structure accessJohannes Berg
This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is now somewhat understandable. This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under RTNL and frees the key.

2008-03-06mac80211: support functions for meshLuis Carlos Cobo
The two important features coded in mesh.c are: Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops, it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1). Code to support mesh tables.
