2010-09-01mac80211: only cancel software-based scans on suspendJohn W. Linville
Otherwise the hardware scan handler could access an invalid scan request structure. The driver should cancel any pending hardware scans during the suspend process anyway, so also add a warning if the hardware scan is still pending when the device resumes. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-08-31mac80211: cancel scan in ieee80211_restart_hw if software scan pendingJohn W. Linville
This function exists to clean-up after a hardware error or something similar. The restart is accomplished using the same infrastructure used to resume after a suspend. The suspend path cancels running scans, so it seems appropriate to do that here as well for software-based scans. If a hardware-based scan is pending, issue a warning message since this indicates that the drivers has failed to clean-up after itself. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-08-31mac80211: Do not generate CQM events based on first Beacon framesJouni Malinen
The signal strength value in a single RX frame is not that reliable, so it is better to delay start of CQM events until there is a real average signal strength from more than a single Beacon frame available.

2010-08-31mac80211: Fix signal strength average initialization for CQM eventsJouni Malinen
The ave_beacon_signal value uses 1/16 dB unit and as such, must be initialized with the signal level of the first Beacon frame multiplied by 16. This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization. This could cause user space -based roaming decision process to get quite confused at the moment when we would like to go through authentication and DHCP.

2010-08-27mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.

2010-08-27mac80211: support runtime interface type changesJohannes Berg
Add support to mac80211 for changing the interface type even when the interface is UP, if the driver supports it. To achieve this * add a new driver callback for switching, * split some of the interface up/down code out into new functions (do_open/do_stop), and * maintain an own __SDATA_RUNNING bit that will not be set during interface type, so that any other code doesn't use the interface.

2010-08-27mac80211: simplify zero address checksJohannes Berg
The libertas_tf special code for zero addresses is a bit too complex, it compares against a stack value instead of using is_zero_ether_addr() and tries to update all interfaces even if just the one that's being brought up needs to be changed.

2010-08-27mac80211: clean up ifdown/cleanup pathsJohannes Berg
There's a lot of redundant code in mac80211's interface cleanup/down, for example freeing AP beacons is done both when the interface is set DOWN as well as when it is torn down, of which only the former has any effect. Also, a bunch of things should be closer to where they matter, like the MLME timers that we should cancel when disassociating, rather than only when the interface is set DOWN. Clean up all this code.

2010-08-27mac80211: allow scan to complete from any contextJohannes Berg
The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had to make sure to call it without any locks held, which frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid that problem by allowing the function to be called in any context, and queueing the actual work it does. Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.

2010-08-25mac80211: fix mesh advertisementJohannes Berg
When a mac80211-based driver advertises mesh mode support, this will be advertised to userspace. However, if mac80211 was compiled without mesh support, then that won't actually be true. Fix this by removing the bit for mesh if mesh isn't compiled in. Since this synchronizes what we advertise to cfg80211 and actually support, it means we can now rely on cfg80211's interface type checks and need not check again in mac80211.

Unlike most other workqueue-tasks, the restart_work is not scheduled onto mac80211's private per-interface workqueue, but onto one of the system-wide workqueues. Therefore the mac80211-stack has to cancel any pending restarts, before destroying the shared device context and handing back the memory. Otherwise - under very unlucky circumstances - there could be a stale work- item left, because some other kernel component might have delayed the execution of ieee80211_restart_work for too long.

2010-08-16mac80211: AMPDU rx reorder timeout timerChristian Lamparter
This patch introduces a new timer, which will release queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT (which is at around 100 ms). The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs to release the old ones, is particularly observable when even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at low network speeds. Previously under these circumstances frames would become stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and gunning the pipes.

2010-08-10Bluetooth: Fix incorrect setting of remote_tx_win for L2CAP ERTMMat Martineau
remote_tx_win is intended to be set on receipt of an L2CAP configuration request. The value is used to determine the size of the transmit window on the remote side of an ERTM connection, so L2CAP can stop sending frames when that remote window is full. An incorrect remote_tx_win value will cause the stack to not fully utilize the tx window (performance impact), or to overfill the remote tx window (causing dropped frames or a disconnect). This patch removes an extra setting of remote_tx_win when a configuration response is received. The transmit window has a different meaning in a response - it is an informational value less than or equal to the local tx_win.
