2011-04-20mac80211: fix SMPS debugfs lockingJohannes Berg2-2/+4
The locking with SMPS requests means that the debugs file should lock the mgd mutex, not the iflist mutex. Calls to __ieee80211_request_smps() need to hold that mutex, so add an assertion. This has always been wrong, but for some reason never been noticed, probably because the locking error only happens while unassociated.

2011-04-19mac80211: add a function for setting the TIM bit for a specific stationFelix Fietkau2-1/+15
This allows a driver to buffer frames for a PS station and tell mac80211 to wake it up even though mac80211 does not have any buffered frames for it. This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering, in ath9k, because the driver needs to keep its frames in order to keep track of the Block-ACK window.

2011-04-12mac80211: Check for queued frames before entering power save.Vivek Natarajan3-8/+42
In a highly noisy environment, the tx rate of the driver drops and the application slows down since it has not yet received ACKs for the frames already queued in the hardware. Since this ACK may take more than 100ms, stopping the dev queues for entering PS at this stage breaks applications, WMM test cases in my testing. If there are frames already pending in the tx queue, postponing the PS logic helps to avoid redundant queue stops. When power save is enabled by default and in a noisy environment, this API certainly helps in improving the average throughput.

2011-04-04mac80211: remove the dependency on crypto_blkcipherFelix Fietkau6-28/+23
The only thing that using crypto_blkcipher with ecb does over just using arc4 directly is wrapping the encrypt/decrypt function into a for loop, looping over each individual character. To be able to do this, it pulls in around 40 kb worth of unnecessary kernel modules (at least on a MIPS embedded device).

2011-03-28mac80211: fix aggregation frame release during timeoutDaniel Halperin1-1/+2
Suppose the aggregation reorder buffer looks like this: x-T-R1-y-R2, where x and y are frames that have not been received, T is a received frame that has timed out, and R1,R2 are received frames that have not yet timed out. The proper behavior in this scenario is to move the window past x (skipping it), release T and R1, and leave the window at y until y is received or R2 times out. As written, this code will instead leave the window at R1, because it has not yet timed out. Fix this by exiting the reorder loop only when the frame that has not timed out AND there are skipped frames earlier in the current valid window.

If dynamic_ps is disabled, enabling power save before the 4-way handshake completes may delay the station from being authorized to send/receive traffic, i.e. increase roaming times. It also may result in a failed 4-way handshake depending on the AP's timing requirements and beacon interval, and the station's listen interval. To fix this, prevent power save from being enabled while the station isn't authorized and recalculate power save whenever the station's authorized state changes.
