* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* cfg80211: Store IEs from both Beacon and Probe Response framesJouni Malinen2010-01-121-30/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Store information elements from Beacon and Probe Response frames in separate buffers to allow both sets to be made available through nl80211. This allows user space applications to get access to IEs from Beacon frames even if we have received Probe Response frames from the BSS. Previously, the IEs from Probe Response frames would have overridden the IEs from Beacon frames. This feature is of somewhat limited use since most protocols include the same (or extended) information in Probe Response frames. However, there are couple of exceptions where the IEs from Beacon frames could be of some use: TIM IE is only included in Beacon frames (and it would be needed to figure out the DTIM period used in the BSS) and at least some implementations of Wireless Provisioning Services seem to include the full IE only in Beacon frames). The new BSS attribute for scan results is added to allow both the IE sets to be delivered. This is done in a way that maintains the previously used behavior for applications that are not aware of the new NL80211_BSS_BEACON_IES attribute.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the works cleanup, scan and events to a cfg80211 dedicated workqueue. Platform driver like eeepc-laptop ought to use works to rfkill (as new rfkill does lock in rfkill_unregister and the platform driver is called from rfkill_switch_all which also lock the same mutex). This raise a new issue in itself that the work scheduled by the platform driver to the global worqueue calls wiphy_unregister which flush_work scan and event works (which thus flush works on the global workqueue inside a work on the global workqueue) and also put on hold the wdev_cleanup_work (which prevents the dev_put on netdev thus indefinite Usage count error on wifi device).

* cfg80211: validate scan channelsJohannes Berg2009-11-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it is possible to request a scan on only disabled channels, which could be problematic for some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore disabled channels that are given. This resuls in the scan begin/end event only including channels that are actually used. This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should not find any networks on channels that cannot be used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_ie() function uses a size_t for the len parameter, and directly uses len as a loop variable. If any received packets are malformed, it is possible for the decrease of len to overflow, and since the result is unsigned, the loop will not terminate. Change it to a signed int so the loop conditional works for negative values. This fixes the following soft lockup: [38573.102007] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

* cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bugJohannes Berg2009-08-281-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after the driver. However, it currently does this too early, it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a scan request is still pending and exit if not.

* cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requestsJohannes Berg2009-08-141-10/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.

* | cfg80211: fix lockingJohannes Berg2009-07-101-3/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Without the SME, that wasn't doable but now that we have the SME we can do this too. It can keep track of up to four separate authentications and one association, regardless of whether it's controlled by the cfg80211 SME or the userspace SME.

* cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez2009-02-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement. This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans. This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning. If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue. All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to the system at a later time. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to various bugs in the software stack we end up having to fill qual.qual; level should be used, but wpa_supplicant doesn't properly ignore qual.qual, NM should use qual.level regardless of that because qual.qual is 0 but doesn't handle IW_QUAL_DBM right now. So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to -110..-40 dBm or just the regular 'unspecified' signal level. This requires a mac80211 change to properly announce the max_qual.qual and avg_qual.qual values. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
