2009-05-11mac80211: properly track HT operation_modeJohannes Berg
When we disassociate, we set the channel to non-HT which obviously invalidates any ht_operation_mode setting. But when we then associate with the next AP again, we might still have the ht_operation_mode from the previous AP cached and fail to configure the hardware with the new (but unchanged) operation mode. This patch fixes it by separately tracking whether our cache is valid. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-05-11mac80211: move HT operation mode BSS infoJohannes Berg
There really is no need to have a separate struct for a single variable. The fact that it exists is due to the code legacy, but we can remove that now. Very simple. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-05-11mac80211: improve scan timingJohannes Berg
The call to ieee80211_hw_config() is supposed to apply changes synchronously, so once it returns the parameters are applied to the hardware. Thus, there really is no need to delay the probing by the channel switch time again since the channel switch has already happened once we get to this code. Additionally, there is no need to wait for a NAV update (probe delay) when the channel is passively scanned. Remove that extra time too. This cuts scanning time from over 7 seconds to under 4 on ar9170, which is due to the number of channels scanned and ar9170's switch time being advertised as 135ms (my test now indicates it is about 77ms with the current driver, but the difference might also be due to using a different machine with different USB controllers).

2009-05-11mac80211: MFP - Drop unprotected Action frames prior key setupJouni Malinen
When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, unprotected Robust Action frames are not allowed prior to key configuration. However, unprotected Deauthentication and Disassociation frames are allowed at that point, but not after key configuration. Make ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() handle the special cases for MFP by separating the basic Data frame case from Management frame processing and handle the Management frames only if MFP has been negotiated. In addition, do not use sdata->drop_unencrypted for Management frames since the decision on whether to accept the frame depends on the key being configured.

2009-05-11mac80211: Drop unencrypted frames based on key setupJouni Malinen
When using nl80211, we do not have a mechanism to set sdata->drop_unencrypted. Currently, this breaks code that is supposed to drop unencrypted frames when protection is expected since ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() is optimized to not set rx->key when the frame is not protected. This patch modifies ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() to set rx->key for all frames and only skip decryption if the frame is not protected. This allows ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() to correctly drop frames even if drop_unencrypted is not set. The changes here are not enough to handle all cases, though. Additional patches will be needed to implement proper IEEE 802.1X PAE for station mode (currently, this is only used for AP mode) and some additional rules are needed for MFP to drop unprotected Robust Action frames prior to having PTK and IGTK configured. In theory, the unprotected frames could and should be dropped in ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt(). However, due to the special case with EAPOL frames that have to be allowed to be received unprotected even when keys are set, it is simpler to only set rx->key and allow the ieee80211_frame_allowed() function to handle the actual dropping of data frames after 802.11->802.3 header conversion. In addition, unprotected robust management frames are dropped before they are processed. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-11cfg80211: fix wext iw_freq parsingJohannes Berg
The function to parse a struct iw_freq has a stupid bug, it returns NULL when the channel cannot be found at all, but NULL is supposed to mean "auto". Fix this by checking the return value of ieee80211_get_channel() and returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if it returned NULL (channel not found). This fixes an issue where you could say (in IBSS mode) iwconfig wlan0 channel 21 and it would use channel 1 instead because that's the first available channel with IBSS allowed (which is what the "auto" setting uses).

2009-05-11mac80211: set default QoS values according to specJohannes Berg
We've never really cared about the default QoS (WMM) values, but we really should if the AP doesn't send any. This patch makes mac80211 use the default values according to 802.11-2007, and additionally syncs the default values when we disassociate so whatever the last AP said gets "unconfigured".

2009-05-11mac80211: fix scan channel raceJohannes Berg
When a software scan starts, it first sets sw_scanning, but leaves the scan_channel "unset" (it currently actually gets initialised to a default). Now, when something else tries to (re)configure the hardware in the window between these two events (after sw_scanning = true, but before scan_channel is set), the current code switches to the (unset!) scan_channel. This causes trouble, especially when switching bands and sending frames on the wrong channel. To work around this, leave scan_channel initialised to NULL and use it to determine whether or not a switch to a different channel should occur (and also use the same condition to check whether to adjust power for scan or not). Additionally, avoid reconfiguring the hardware completely when recalculating idle resulted in no changes, this was the problem that originally led us to discover the race condition in the first place, which was helpfully bisected by Pavel. This part of the patch should not be necessary with the other fixes, but not calling the ieee80211_hw_config function when we know it to be unnecessary is certainly a correct thing to do. Unfortunately, this patch cannot and does not fix the race condition completely, but due to the way the scan code is structured it makes the particular problem Pavel discovered (race while changing channel at the same time as transmitting frames) go away. To fix it completely, more work especially with locking configuration is needed.

2009-05-11nl80211 : Add support for configuring MFPJouni Malinen
NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE request must be able to indicate whether management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is being used. mac80211 was able to use MFP in client mode only with WEXT, but the new NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute will allow this to be done with nl80211, too. Since we are currently using nl80211 for MFP only with drivers that use user space SME, only MFP disabled and required values are used. However, the NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute is an enum that can be extended with MFP optional in the future, if that is needed with some drivers (e.g., if the RSN IE is generated by the driver).

2009-05-06wimax: oops: wimax_dev_add() is the only one that can initialize the stateInaky Perez-Gonzalez
When a new wimax_dev is created, it's state has to be __WIMAX_ST_NULL until wimax_dev_add() is succesfully called. This allows calls into the stack that happen before said time to be rejected. Until now, the state was being set (by mistake) to UNINITIALIZED, which was allowing calls such as wimax_report_rfkill_hw() to go through even when a call to wimax_dev_add() had failed; that was causing an oops when touching uninitialized data. This situation is normal when the device starts reporting state before the whole initialization has been completed. It just has to be dealt with.

We are currently processing block ack reordering as a separate task before all other RX handlers.

2009-05-06mac80211: Add a timeout for frames in the RX reorder bufferJouni Malinen
This patch allows skbs to be released from the RX reorder buffer in case they have been there for an unexpectedly long time without us having received the missing frames before them. Previously, these frames were only released when the reorder window moved and that could take very long time unless new frames were received constantly (e.g., TCP connections could be killed more or less indefinitely). This situation should not happen very frequently, but it looks like there are some scenarious that trigger it for some reason. As such, this should be considered mostly a workaround to speed up recovery from unexpected siutation that could result in connections hanging for long periods of time. The changes here will only check for timeout situation when adding new RX frames to the reorder buffer. It does not handle all possible cases, but seems to help for most cases that could result from common network usage (e.g., TCP retrying at least couple of times). For more completely coverage, a timer could be used to periodically check whether there are any frames remaining in the reorder buffer if no new frames are received.

2009-05-06mac80211: tell driver when idleJohannes Berg
When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing anything, aka being idle, means: * no monitor interfaces * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network * we aren't trying to scan By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change, we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save power. Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped completely. This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here when we need to be able to wake up with low latency. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this: phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1 wlan0 direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: authenticated > phy0: device now idle > phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what happens. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-05-06mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanningJohannes Berg
There are some places marked /* XXX maybe racy? */ and they really are racy because there's no locking. This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning (which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work will then take care of the rest. Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked properly.

Setting the name of a sysfs device has to be done in a context that can actually sleep. It allocates its memory with GFP_KERNEL.

So move the dev_set_name() just before calling device_add() which is executed in a work queue. This fixes the following error: [ 110.012125] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:1595 [ 110.012135] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper [ 110.012141] 2 locks held by swapper/0: [ 110.012145] #0: (hci_task_lock){++.-.+}, at: [<ffffffffa01f822f>] hci_rx_task+0x2f/0x2d0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012173] #1: (&hdev->lock){+.-.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa01fb9e2>] hci_event_packet+0x72/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012198] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc4-g953cdaa #1 [ 110.012203] Call Trace: [ 110.012207] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8023eabd>] __might_sleep+0x14d/0x170 [ 110.012228] [<ffffffff802cfbe1>] __kmalloc+0x111/0x170 [ 110.012239] [<ffffffff803c2094>] kvasprintf+0x64/0xb0 [ 110.012248] [<ffffffff803b7a5b>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x3b/0xa0 [ 110.012257] [<ffffffff80465326>] dev_set_name+0x76/0xa0 [ 110.012273] [<ffffffffa01fb9e2>] ? hci_event_packet+0x72/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012289] [<ffffffffa01ffc1d>] hci_conn_add_sysfs+0x3d/0x70 [bluetooth] [ 110.012303] [<ffffffffa01fba2c>] hci_event_packet+0xbc/0x25c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012312] [<ffffffff80516eb0>] ? sock_def_readable+0x80/0xa0 [ 110.012328] [<ffffffffa01fee0c>] ? hci_send_to_sock+0xfc/0x1c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012343] [<ffffffff80516eb0>] ? sock_def_readable+0x80/0xa0 [ 110.012347] [<ffffffff805e88c5>] ? _read_unlock+0x75/0x80 [ 110.012354] [<ffffffffa01fee0c>] ? hci_send_to_sock+0xfc/0x1c0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012360] [<ffffffffa01f8403>] hci_rx_task+0x203/0x2d0 [bluetooth] [ 110.012365] [<ffffffff80250ab5>] tasklet_action+0xb5/0x160 [ 110.012369] [<ffffffff8025116c>] __do_softirq+0x9c/0x150 [ 110.012372] [<ffffffff805e850f>] ? _spin_unlock+0x3f/0x80 [ 110.012376] [<ffffffff8020cbbc>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [ 110.012380] [<ffffffff8020f01d>] do_softirq+0x8d/0xe0 [ 110.012383] [<ffffffff80250df5>] irq_exit+0xc5/0xe0 [ 110.012386] [<ffffffff8020e71d>] do_IRQ+0x9d/0x120 [ 110.012389] [<ffffffff8020c3d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf [ 110.012391] <EOI> [<ffffffff80431832>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x264/0x2a6 [ 110.012399] [<ffffffff80431828>] ? acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x25a/0x2a6 [ 110.012403] [<ffffffff804f50d5>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0xc5/0x130 [ 110.012407] [<ffffffff8020a4b4>] ? cpu_idle+0xc4/0x130 [ 110.012411] [<ffffffff805d2268>] ? rest_init+0x88/0xb0 [ 110.012416] [<ffffffff807e2fbd>] ? start_kernel+0x3b5/0x412 [ 110.012420] [<ffffffff807e2281>] ? x86_64_start_reservations+0x91/0xb5 [ 110.012424] [<ffffffff807e2394>] ? x86_64_start_kernel+0xef/0x11b Based on a report by Davide Pesavento <davidepesa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Tested-by: Hugo Mildenberger <hugo.mildenberger@namir.de> Tested-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com>

2009-05-05net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6)Jiri Pirko
v5 -> v6 (current): -removed so far unused static functions -corrected dev_addr_del_multiple to call del instead of add v4 -> v5: -added device address type (suggested by davem) -removed refcounting (better to have simplier code then safe potentially few bytes) v3 -> v4: -changed kzalloc to kmalloc in __hw_addr_add_ii() -ASSERT_RTNL() avoided in dev_addr_flush() and dev_addr_init() v2 -> v3: -removed unnecessary rcu read locking -moved dev_addr_flush() calling to ensure no null dereference of dev_addr v1 -> v2: -added forgotten ASSERT_RTNL to dev_addr_init and dev_addr_flush -removed unnecessary rcu_read locking in dev_addr_init -use compare_ether_addr_64bits instead of compare_ether_addr -use L1_CACHE_BYTES as size for allocating struct netdev_hw_addr -use call_rcu instead of rcu_synchronize -moved is_etherdev_addr into __KERNEL__ ifdef This patch introduces a new list in struct net_device and brings a set of functions to handle the work with device address list. The list is a replacement for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible, dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers sees no difference. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
