2009-03-27mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifiJohannes Berg
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

2009-03-27mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stopJohannes Berg
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb queue once aggregation is turned on successfully. We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in a follow-up patch. This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

2009-03-27mac80211: add skb length sanity checkingJohannes Berg
We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified, which would cause retransmit attempts with completely bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not having enough headroom in those. This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop the skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-03-27mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation startJohannes Berg
When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps: 1) print a debug message 2) wake the virtual queue 3) notify the driver Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both places where TX aggregation can become operational. Additionally, rename the driver notification from IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

__ieee80211_tx takes a struct ieee80211_tx_data argument, but only uses a few of its members, namely 'skb' and 'sta'.

2009-03-27mac80211: rework the pending packets codeJohannes Berg

2009-03-27mac80211: fix A-MPDU queue assignmentJohannes Berg
Internally, mac80211 requires the skb's queue mapping to be set to the AC queue, not the virtual A-MPDU queue. This is not done correctly currently, this patch moves the code down to directly before the driver is invoked and adds a comment that it will be moved into the driver later. Since this requires __ieee80211_tx() to have the sta pointer, make sure to provide it in ieee80211_tx_pending(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: Luis R.

2009-03-27mac80211: rewrite fragmentationJohannes Berg
Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated; make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs to walk the skb->next list. This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code, which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: Luis R.

2009-03-27nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

2009-03-27nl80211: Event notifications for MLME eventsJouni Malinen
Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>. This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend.

2009-03-16mac80211: deauth before flushing STA informationHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Even after commit "mac80211: deauth when interface is marked down" (e327b847 on Linus tree), userspace still isn't notified when interface goes down. There isn't a problem with this commit, but because of other code changes it doesn't work on kernels >= 2.6.28 (works if same/similar change applied on 2.6.27 for example). The issue is as follows: after commit "mac80211: restructure disassoc/deauth flows" in 2.6.28, the call to ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate added by commit e327b847 will not work: because we do sta_info_flush(local, sdata) inside ieee80211_stop (iface.c), all stations in interface are cleared, so when calling ieee80211_sta_deauthenticate->ieee80211_set_disassoc (mlme.c), inside ieee80211_set_disassoc we have this in the beginning: sta = sta_info_get(local, ifsta->bssid); if (!sta) { The !sta check triggers, thus the function returns early and ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo(sdata, ifsta) later isn't called, so wpa_supplicant/userspace isn't notified with SIOCGIWAP. This commit moves deauthentication to before flushing STA info (sta_info_flush), thus the above can't happen and userspace is really notified when interface goes down.

2009-03-16mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA modeHelmut Schaa
If cfg80211 requests a scan it awaits either a return code != 0 from the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of a STA mac80211's scan function ever returns 0 and queues the scan request. If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up. If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests. Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211 and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.

Incorrect local->wmm_acm bits were set for AC_BK and AC_BE. Fix this and add some comments to make it easier to understand the AC-to-UP(pair) mapping. Set the wmm_acm bits (and show WMM debug) even if the driver does not implement conf_tx() handler. In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the highest priority in error cases. We need to break the loop to get the correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation. Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks. Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too). Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is perfectly valid mechanism for ACM. Eventually, we may add support for WMM-AC and send a request for a TS, but anyway, that functionality won't be here at the location of this TODO comment.

2009-02-27mac80211: Introduce a generic commit() to apply changesAlina Friedrichsen
