2009-08-14mac80211: stay authenticated after disassocJohannes Berg
After being disassociated by the AP, mac80211 currently reports this to cfg80211, and then goes to delete the association. That's fine, but cfg80211 assumes that it's still authenticated, however, mac80211 throws away all state. This fixes mac80211 to keep track of the authentication in that case so that cfg80211 can request a deauth or new association properly.

2009-08-04cfg80211: enable country IE support to all cfg80211 driversLuis R. Rodriguez
Since the bss is always set now once we are connected, if the bss has its own information element we refer to it and pass that instead of relying on mac80211's parsing. Now all cfg80211 drivers get country IE support, automatically and we reduce the call overhead that we had on mac80211 which called this upon every beacon and instead now call this only upon a successfull connection by a STA on cfg80211.

Some of the recent MLME rework I did broke powersave because the ps_sdata isn't assigned at the right time, and the work item wasn't removed from the list before calling ieee80211_recalc_ps().

2009-08-04mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-29mac80211: fix receiving deauthJohannes Berg
Marcel reported a warning, which quite obviously comes from an oversight in the code handling deauth frames, and which resulted in multiple follow-up warnings due to this missing handling. This patch adds the missing deauth handling (telling cfg80211 about it) and also removes the follow-up warnings since they could happen due to races even if nothing is wrong.

2009-07-27mac80211: fix MLME issuing of probe requests while scanningLuis R. Rodriguez
We were issuing probe requests to the associated AP on the wrong band by having our beacon timer loss trigger while we are scanning. When we would scan the timer could hit and force us to send a probe request to the AP but with a chance we'd be on the wrong band. This leads to finding no usable bitrate but we should not get so far on the xmit path. We should not be trying to send these probe request frames so prevent ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() from sending these. As it turns out all callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() need this check so we just move the scan check there. This means we can remove the recenlty added check during ieee80211_sta_monitor_work(). Additionally we now fix a race condition added by the patch "mac80211: do not monitor the connection while scanning" which had the same check in ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer(). The race happens because the timer routine *does* a valid check for scanning but after it queues work into the mac80211 workqueue the work callback can kick off with scanning enabled and cause the same issue we were trying to avoid. The more appropriate solution would be to disable the respective timers during scan and re-enable them after scan but requires more complex code and testing.

2009-07-24mac80211: do not monitor the connection while scanningChristian Lamparter
mac80211 constantly monitors the connection to the associated AP in order to check if it is out of reach/dead. This is absolutely fine most of the time. Except when there is a scheduled scan for the whole neighborhood. After all this path could trigger while scanning on different channel. Or even worse: this AP probing triggers a WARN_ON in rate_lowest_index when the scan code did a band transition!

2009-07-24mac80211: monitor the connectionJohannes Berg
With the recent MLME rework I accidentally removed the connection monitoring code. In order to add it back, this patch will add new code to monitor both for beacon loss and for the connection actually working, with possibly separate triggers. When no unicast frames have been received from the AP for (currently) two seconds, we will send the AP a probe request. Also, when we don't see beacons from the AP for two seconds, we do the same (but those times need not be the same due to the way the code is now written). Additionally, clean up the parameters to the ieee80211_set_disassoc() function that I need here, those are all useless except sdata.

2009-07-24cfg80211: rework key operationJohannes Berg
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.

2009-07-10cfg80211: fix lockingJohannes Berg
Over time, a lot of locking issues have crept into the smarts of cfg80211, so e.g. scan completion can race against a new scan, IBSS join can race against leaving an IBSS, etc. Introduce a new per-interface lock that protects most of the per-interface data that we need to keep track of, and sprinkle assertions about that lock everywhere. Some things now need to be offloaded to work structs so that we don't require being able to sleep in functions the drivers call. The exception to that are the MLME callbacks (rx_auth etc.) that currently only mac80211 calls because it was easier to do that there instead of in cfg80211, and future drivers implementing those calls will, if they ever exist, probably need to use a similar scheme like mac80211 anyway... In order to be able to handle _deauth and _disassoc properly, introduce a cookie passed to it that will determine locking requirements.

This patch changes the API so that drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb).

Currently, however, the old data is thrown away before ieee80211_set_disassoc() is ever called, so fix that by calling the function _before_ the old data is overwritten. This is (one of) the issue(s) causing mac80211 to hold cfg80211's BSS structs forever, and them thus being returned in scan results after they're long gone. http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2015 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-06-15mac80211: disconnect when user changes channelJohannes Berg
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.

This seems to trigger mac80211 to try to associate with an invalid configuration (wildcard SSID) which will result in failing associations (or odd issues, potentially including kernel panic with some drivers) if the AP were to actually accept this anyway).

2009-06-10mac80211: disable moving between PS modes during scanLuis R. Rodriguez
We don't want to trigger moving between PS mode during scan, because then we will sometimes end up sending nullfunc frames during scan. We're supposed to only send one prior to scan and after scan. This fixes an oops which occured due to an assert in ath9k: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124277331319024 The assert was happening because the rate control algorithm figures it should find at least one valid dual stream or single stream rate. Since we allow mac80211 to send nullfunc frames during scan and dynamic PS was enabled at times we ended up trying to send nullfunc frames for the target sta on the wrong band for which we have no valid rate to communicate with it. This breaks the assumptions in rate control. We determine we also need to disable moving between PS modes when not associated so lets just add that now as well, and we should not have a ps_sdata when that interface cannot actually go into PS because it's not associated.

That's totally strange because then we will configure the driver without even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero BSSID when not associated. As a side effect, this fixes an issue with the iwlwifi driver which doesn't implement sta_notify properly and uses the BSSID instead and gets very confused if the BSSID is cleared before we disassociate, which results in the warning Marcel posted [1] and iwlwifi bug 1995 [2].

2009-05-20mac80211: PS processing for every Beacon with our AID in TIMJouni Malinen
If the AP includes our AID in the TIM IE, we need to process the Beacon frame as far as PS is concerned (send PS-Poll or nullfunc data with PM=0). The previous code skipped this in cases where the CRC value did not change and it would not change if the AP continues including our AID in the TIM.. There is no need to count the crc32 value for directed_tim with this change, so we can remove that part. In order not to change the order of operations (i.e., update WMM parameters prior to sending PS-Poll), the CRC match is checked twice as only after the PS processing step, the rest of the function is skipped if nothing changed in the Beacon.

The exact reason for this is unclear, but anyway, if we do receive a Beacon frame from our AP, there is no need to disconnect based on the probereq poll. This seems to help keep the connection bit more stable in cases where beacon loss is occurring semi-frequently. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-13mac80211: split out and decrease probe wait timeJohannes Berg
The time we wait for a probe response after probing an AP due to beacon loss is currently the same as the monitoring interval, 2s. This is far too long, APs should respond to probes within a fraction of that time. To be able to adjust both values, add a new constant IEEE80211_PROBE_WAIT, use it for checking the probe response, and adjust it down to 200ms instead of 2 seconds.

2009-05-13mac80211: respond to beacon loss report only onceJohannes Berg
The driver might keep reporting beacon loss until we disassociate -- catch that and don't respond to any subsequent events until the probe is either successful or we disassociate. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
