2013-03-06nl80211: explicit userspace MPMThomas Pedersen
Secure mesh had the implicit requirement that the Mesh Peering Management entity be in userspace. However userspace might want to implement an open MPM as well, so specify a mesh setup parameter to indicate this.

2013-03-06cfg80211: move exported event functions into nl80211Johannes Berg
This is the sort of thing gcc's LTO could do, but since we don't have that yet we can also do it manually. The advantage is reduced code, both source and binary, e.g. on x86-64 text data bss dec hex filename 442825 56230 776 499831 7a077 cfg80211.ko (before) 441585 56230 776 498591 79b9f cfg80211.ko (after) a reduction of ~1k. But in order to not complicate the code move only those functions that are simple wrappers, not those that have functionality of their own. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-16{cfg,nl}80211: mesh power mode primitives and userspace accessMarco Porsch
Add the nl80211_mesh_power_mode enumeration which holds possible values for the mesh power mode. These modes are unknown, active, light sleep and deep sleep. Add power_mode entry to the mesh config structure to hold the user-configured default mesh power mode. This value will be used for new peer links. Add the dot11MeshAwakeWindowDuration value to the mesh config. The awake window is a duration in TU describing how long the STA will stay awake after transmitting its beacon in PS mode. Add access routines to: - get/set local link-specific power mode (STA) - get remote STA's link-specific power mode (STA) - get remote STA's non-peer power mode (STA) - get/set default mesh power mode (mesh config) - get/set mesh awake window duration (mesh config) All config changes may be done at mesh runtime and take effect immediately.

2013-01-16{cfg,nl,mac}80211: set beacon interval and DTIM period on mesh joinMarco Porsch
Move the default mesh beacon interval and DTIM period to cfg80211 and make them accessible to nl80211. This enables setting both values when joining an MBSS. Previously the DTIM parameter was not set by mac80211 so the driver's default value was used. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configurationJohannes Berg
Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26cfg80211: pass a channel definition structJohannes Berg
Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change.

2012-06-29cfg80211: add channel tracking for AP and meshMichal Kazior
We need to know which channel is used by a running AP and mesh for channel context accounting and finding matching/active interface combination. STA/IBSS have current_bss already which allows us to check which channel a vif is tuned to. Non-fixed channel IBSS can be handled with additional changes.

2012-06-18{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationIntervalChun-Yeow Yeoh
As defined in section 13.10.9.3 Case D (802.11-2012), this control variable is used to limit the mesh STA to send only one PREQ to a root mesh STA within this interval of time (in TUs). The default value for this variable is set to 2000 TUs. However, for current implementation, the maximum configurable of dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval is restricted by dot11MeshHWMPactivePathTimeout.

2012-06-06cfg80211: clarify set_channel APIsJohannes Berg
Now that we've removed all uses of the set_channel API except for the monitor channel and in libertas, clarify this. Split the libertas mesh use into a new libertas_set_mesh_channel() operation, just to keep backward compatibility, and rename the normal set_channel() to set_monitor_channel(). Also describe the desired set_monitor_channel() semantics more clearly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-06-05cfg80211: provide channel to join_mesh functionJohannes Berg
Just like the AP mode patch, instead of setting the channel and then joining the mesh network, provide the channel to join the network on to the join_mesh() function. Like in AP mode, you can also give the channel to the join-mesh nl80211 command now. Unlike AP mode, it picks a default channel if none was given. As libertas uses mesh mode interfaces but has no join_mesh callback and we can't simply break it, keep some compatibility code for that case and configure the channel directly for it. In the non-libertas case, where we store the channel until join, allow setting it while the interface is down. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-03-05{nl,cfg,mac}80211: Implement RSSI threshold for mesh peeringAshok Nagarajan
Mesh peer links are established only if average rssi of the peer candidate satisfies the threshold. This is not in 802.11s specification but was requested by David Fulgham, an open80211s user. This is a way to avoid marginal peer links with stations that are barely within range. This patch adds a new mesh configuration parameter, mesh_rssi_threshold.

2010-12-06cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.
