2011-09-27nl80211/cfg80211: Add support to disable CCK rate for management frameRajkumar Manoharan
Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz without disabling 11b rates. This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame transmission.

2011-07-06cfg80211/nl80211: support GTK rekey offloadJohannes Berg
In certain circumstances, like WoWLAN scenarios, devices may implement (partial) GTK rekeying on the device to avoid waking up the host for it. In order to successfully go through GTK rekeying, the KEK, KCK and the replay counter are required. Add API to let the supplicant hand the parameters to the driver which may store it for future GTK rekey operations. Note that, of course, if GTK rekeying is done by the device, the EAP frame must not be passed up to userspace, instead a rekey event needs to be sent to let userspace update its replay counter.

2010-12-16nl80211: Add notification for dropped Deauth/DisassocJouni Malinen
Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to management frame protection being in use. This notification is needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch between an AP and STA. This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP (IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7). IEEE Std 802.11w-2009, 11.13 describes this recovery mechanism. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Enable this through the CMD_FRAME API, and allow it to wait for a response. A new command allows that wait to be aborted.

When sending action frames, we want to verify that we do that on the correct channel. However, checking the channel type in addition can get in the way, since the channel type could change on the fly during an association, and it's not useful to have the channel type anyway since it has no effect on the transmission.

2010-04-07cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassocJouni Malinen
cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements, user space applications may need to clear authentication or association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other deauth/disassoc operations being completed. Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-24cfg80211: Add connection quality monitoring support to nl80211Juuso Oikarinen
Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring events. Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost. An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity. The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that arises.

2010-02-15cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen
This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips.

However, we misreported a broadcast deauth or disassoc as being by own choice, which is wrong. Fix this by checking the sender address instead of the destination address.

2009-08-14cfg80211: fix disassociation warning due to misuse of wdev->current_bssPavel Roskin
WARN_ON was triggered at mlme.c:213 when dissociating from an AP. wdev->current_bss->pub.bssid should be used in place of wdev->current_bss for BSSID comparison.

2009-08-04cfg80211: keep track of current_bss for userspace SMEJohannes Berg
When a userspace SME is active, we're currently not keeping track of the BSS properly for reporting the current link and for internal use. Additionally, it looks like there is a possible BSS leak in that the BSS never gets removed from auth_bsses[]. To fix it, pass the BSS struct to __cfg80211_connect_result in this case.

2009-07-29cfg80211: self-contained wext handling where possibleJohannes Berg
Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for! This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation _completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of wireless extensions. This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext now! RIP wext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-24cfg80211: fix more bugs in mlme handlingJohannes Berg
The "what-was-I-thinking-if-anything" patch. Clearly, if cfg80211_send_disassoc() does wdev_lock() and then calls __cfg80211_send_disassoc(), the latter shouldn't lock again. And the sme_state test is ... no further comments. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
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.

2009-07-10cfg80211: warn again on spurious deauthJohannes Berg
The original code in mac80211 could send a deauth frame under certain circumstances even if nothing had ever requested an authentication. This has been fixed with the rework there, so cfg80211 can now warn again about spurious events to catch possible future drivers or mac80211 regressions.

2009-07-10cfg80211: let SME control reassociation vs. associationJohannes Berg
Since we don't really know that well in the kernel, let's let the SME control whether it wants to use reassociation or not, by allowing it to give the previous BSSID in the associate() parameters.
