| * mac80211: optimise station flagsJohannes Berg2011-09-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been something that I wanted to get rid of, this finally does the conversion to atomic bitops. The conversion itself is straight-forward in most places, a few things needed to change a bit since we can no longer use multiple bits at the same time. On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code size reduction: text data bss dec hex 427861 23648 1008 452517 6e7a5 before 425383 23648 976 450007 6ddd7 after Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an AP interface is removed without the AP/VLAN interfaces having been removed before already, the AP-VLAN interface might still have sleeping stations and buffer multicast frames which will happen on the AP interface. Thus, we need to remove AP/VLAN interfaces before purging buffered broadcast frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be done. Due the the previous patches, the annotations are pretty simple. The only thing that this actually changes is removing the RCU usage of key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has a single assignment done before the key even goes live).

| * net: Fix more stale on-stack list_head objects.Eric W. Biederman2011-02-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times. So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed will fix this problem. Now to go test that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* mac80211: add throughput based LED blink triggerJohannes Berg2010-12-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED based on throughput. Implement this generically in mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink frequencies depending on their desired behaviour and max throughput. All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class device, best with blink hardware offload.

* cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg2010-12-061-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: unset SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL when cancelling a scanBrian Cavagnolo2010-11-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For client STA interfaces, ieee80211_do_stop unsets the relevant interface's SDATA_STATE_RUNNING state bit prior to cancelling an interrupted scan. When ieee80211_offchannel_return is invoked as part of cancelling the scan, it doesn't bother unsetting the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit because it sees that the interface is down. Normally this doesn't matter because when the client STA interface is brought back up, it will probably issue a scan. But in some cases (e.g., the user changes the interface type while it is down), the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL bit will remain set. This prevents the interface queues from being started. So we cancel the scan before unsetting the SDATA_STATE_RUNNING bit. Signed-off-by: Brian Cavagnolo <brian@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old APJohannes Berg2010-10-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a driver advertises p2p device support, mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need to be touched that are otherwise identical.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an interface is brought up, the recent changes to allow changing type-while-up only set the running bit after everything was done. This broke a number of things, including idle calculation for monitor interfaces, and it also broke WDS station insertion (although nobody noticed yet). Thus, change the code to set the running bit earlier, but keep it after the driver's add_interface was called because otherwise drivers may iterate over interfaces they haven't fully set up yet.

Fix the problem by rewriting the way the hardware ARP filter list is handled - i.e. make a copy of the address list to the bss_conf struct, and provide that list to the hardware driver when needed. The current patch will enable filtering also in promiscuous mode. This may need to be changed in the future.

* mac80211: change RX aggregation lockingJohannes Berg2010-06-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for allowing drivers to sleep in ampdu_action, change the locking in the RX aggregation code to use a mutex, so that it would already allow drivers to sleep. But explicitly disable BHs around the callback for now since the TX part cannot yet sleep, and drivers' locking might require it.

* mac80211: move aggregation callback processingJohannes Berg2010-06-141-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the aggregation callback processing to the per-sdata skb queue and a work function rather than the tasklet. Unfortunately, this means that it extends the pkt_type hack to that skb queue. However, it will enable making ampdu_action API changes gradually, my current plan is to get rid of this again by forcing drivers to only return from ampdu_action() when everything is done, thus removing the callbacks completely.

* mac80211: move blockack stop due to fragmentationJohannes Berg2010-06-141-1/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a corner case where we receive a fragmented frame during a blockack session, in which case we will terminate that session. To simplify future work in this area that will culminate in allowing the driver callbacks for aggregation to sleep, move the processing of this case out of the RX path into the interface work. This will simplify future work because the new place for this code doesn't require that the function will always be atomic, which the RX path needs.

* mac80211: always process blockack action from workqueueJohannes Berg2010-06-141-1/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for making the ampdu_action callback sleep, make mac80211 always process blockack action frames from the skb queue. This gets rid of the current special case for managed mode interfaces as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: common work skb freeingJohannes Berg2010-06-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | All the management processing functions free the skb after they are done, so this can be done in the new common code instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: use common work functionJohannes Berg2010-06-141-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Even with the previous patch, IBSS, managed and mesh modes all attach their own work function to the shared work struct, which means some duplicated code. Change that to only have a frame processing function and a further work function for each of them and share some common code.
