2013-04-22cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-spaceArend van Spriel
Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and alter coexistence schemes.

In cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan(), check for P2P Device first, and then for netdevs. This doesn't really change anything but makes the code a bit easier to read since it may not be obvious for everyone at first that a P2P device has no netdev. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-19nl80211: allow using wdev identifiers to get scan resultsJohannes Berg
Most dump callbacks, including the scan results one, use the netdev to identify what to do, which is incorrect for the P2P_DEVICE support, it needs to be able to get the scan result from the wdev.

2013-04-16wireless: regulatory: fix channel disabling race conditionJohannes Berg
When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well. Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-24cfg80211: always check for scan end on P2P deviceJohannes Berg
If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by that time. To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed). For now, use the sched_scan_mtx instead, I'll rename it to just scan_mtx in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumpsJohannes Berg
The per-wiphy information is getting large, to the point where with more than the typical number of channels it's too large and overflows, and userspace can't get any of the information at all. To address this (in a way that doesn't require making all messages bigger) allow userspace to specify that it can deal with wiphy information split across multiple parts of the dump, and if it can split up the data. This also splits up each channel separately so an arbitrary number of channels can be supported. Additionally, since GET_WIPHY has the same problem, add support for filtering the wiphy dump and get information for a single wiphy only, this allows userspace apps to use dump in this case to retrieve all data from a single device. As userspace needs to know if all this this is supported, add a global nl80211 feature set and include a bit for this behaviour in it.

While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.

2013-03-01nl80211: increase wiphy dump size dynamicallyJohannes Berg
Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-26nl80211: remove radar informationJohannes Berg
The wiphy information is getting very close to being too much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the radar attributes to channels and interface combinations can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway and a modified userspace is required as well. We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to request splitting the information across multiple netlink messages, which will allow us to add this back.
