2011-11-09mac80211: fix race between connection monitor & suspendJohannes Berg
When the connection monitor timer fires right before suspend, the following will happen: timer fires -> monitor_work gets queued suspend calls ieee80211_sta_quiesce ieee80211_sta_quiesce: - deletes timer - cancels monitor_work synchronously, running it [note wrong order of these steps] monitor_work runs, re-arming the timer later, timer fires while system should be quiesced This causes a warning: WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:540 ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x35/0x40 [mac80211]() but is otherwise harmless.

2011-11-09mac80211: fix NULL dereference in radiotap codeJohannes Berg
When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced.

The offchannel code is currently broken - we should remain_off_channel if the work was started, and the work's channel and channel_type are the same as local->tmp_channel and local->tmp_channel_type.

2011-10-14mac80211: Populate radiotap header with MCS info for TX framesHelmut Schaa
mac80211 already filled in the MCS rate info for rx'ed frames but tx'ed frames that are sent to a monitor interface during the status callback lack this information. Add the radiotap fields for MCS info to ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr and populate them when sending tx'ed frames to the monitors.

2011-10-14mac80211: Build TX radiotap header dynamicallyHelmut Schaa
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.

2011-10-11mac80211: dont orphan TX skbJohannes Berg
This was another workaround for truesize "bugs". The reason we did this was that when we orphaned the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later. Now that the check is gone (and we just charge the former smaller size to the socket) there's no longer a reason to orphan the skb here. Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This helps flow control and allows us to get at the socket later for other purposes.

2011-10-11mac80211: dont adjust truesizeJohannes Berg
There's no need to adjust truesize. The history of this was that we always ran into skb_truesize_bug (via skb_truesize_check) which has since been removed in commit 92a0acce186cd. skb_truesize_check() checked that truesize was bigger or equal to the actual allocation, which would trigger in mac80211 due to header adding. The check no longer exists and we shouldn't be messing with the truesize anwyay. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-10-11mac80211: parse radiotap header earlierJohannes Berg
We can now move the radiotap header parsing into ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit().

2011-10-03mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitorRajkumar Manoharan
Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission. As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to retain the connection. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

802.11 says: "Sequence numbers for QoS (+)Null frames may be set to any value."

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. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-09-30mac80211: explicitly notify drivers of frame releaseJohannes Berg
iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are going to be sent to a station while it is asleep so it can properly handle the uCode blocking of that station. Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that a single frame was going to be released whenever we encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since there could be more than a single frame. To support this model, add a new callback to notify drivers when frames are going to be released.

2011-09-30mac80211: reply only once to each PS-pollJohannes Berg
If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received) there is no way to detect that since it has no sequence number. As a consequence, the standard asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost). Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual. We could use separate flags, but that will most likely completely confuse drivers, and while the standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite problematic.

2011-09-30mac80211: send (QoS) Null if no buffered framesJohannes Berg
For PS-poll, there's a possible race between us expiring a frame and the station polling for it -- send it a null frame in that case.

2011-09-30mac80211: implement uAPSDJohannes Berg
Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not possible with all devices, so advertising it with the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that want it. Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame. For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided APIs allow releasing the right number of frames, but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data themselves. This is documented in more detail in the new code itself. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-09-30mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered framesJohannes Berg
If there are frames for a station buffered in the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM IE but there's no way to release them. Add new API to release such frames and use it when the station polls for a frame. Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD it is easily extensible. Note that before this change drivers announcing driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially lower priority frame (if there are any frames buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver that hasn't been changed will no longer respond at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need to be fixed to implement the new API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-09-30mac80211: clear more-data bit on filtered framesJohannes Berg
It doesn't seem likely, but maybe possible, that the more-data bit needs to be recomputed due to changes in the queued frames. Clear it for filtered frames to ensure that we never send it incorrectly. It'll be set again as necessary when we retransmit this frame. The more likely case is maybe where the station woke up after the filtered frame in which case more-data should be clear when the frame is transmitted to the station since it is now awake.
