2011-03-14mac80211: fix channel type recalculation with HT and non-HT interfacesFelix Fietkau1-0/+3
When running an AP interface along with the cooked monitor interface created by hostapd, adding an interface and deleting it again triggers a channel type recalculation during which the (non-HT) monitor interface takes precedence over the HT AP interface, thus causing the channel type to be set to non-HT. Fix this by ensuring that a more wide channel type will not be overwritten by a less wide channel type. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-03-14mac80211: Shortcut minstrel_ht rate setup for non-MRR capable devicesHelmut Schaa1-7/+34
Devices without multi rate retry support won't be able to use all rates as specified by mintrel_ht. Hence, we can simply skip setting up further rates as the devices will only use the first one. Also add a special case for devices with only two possible tx rates. We use sample_rate -> max_prob_rate for sampling and max_tp_rate -> max_prob_rate by default.

2011-03-11mac80211: do not enable ps if 802.1x controlled port is unblockedJason Young2-5/+36
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.

Is still possible to schedule conn_mon_timer after disassociate from ieee80211_sta_tx_notify() and ieee80211_offchannel_ps_disable().

2011-02-25mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg2-110/+58
The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

2011-02-23mac80211: Fix a race on enabling power save.Vivek Natarajan2-3/+13
There is a race on sending a data frame before the tx completion of nullfunc frame for enabling power save. As the data quickly follows the nullfunc frame, the AP thinks that the station is out of power save and continues to send the frames. Whereas in the station, the nullfunc ack will be processed after the tx completion of data frame and mac80211 goes to powersave. Thus the power save state mismatch between the station and the AP causes some data loss and some applications fail because of that. This patch fixes this issue.

2011-02-20net: Fix more stale on-stack list_head objects.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+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>

2011-02-18mac80211: fix 2.4 GHz 40 MHz disablingJohannes Berg4-15/+13
The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations. To fix this, clear the 40 MHz bits from the sband completely instead of overriding where used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-02-07mac80211: remove unneeded checkDan Carpenter1-1/+1
"ap" is the address of sdata->u.ap so it can never be NULL here. Also we dereferenced it on the previous line. I removed the check. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2011-02-07mac80211: as a 4-addr station, do not receive packets for other stationsFelix Fietkau1-1/+2
Since 4-addr frames completely override the source address which will make it into the converted 802.3 frames, receiving frames for other 4-addr stations will confuse the bridging code. To be able to handle traffic for all connected devices, the bridge code will automatically turn on promiscuous mode, which triggers this problem.

2011-02-07mac80211: Make some mlme timers module paramaters.Ben Greear1-11/+23
This allows users to tune the connection-loss algorithms to be more or less lenient. In particular, larger null-func retries helps when using lots of virtual stations on a loaded network. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-02-07mac80211: fix the skb cloned check in the tx pathFelix Fietkau1-1/+1
Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb. Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra head/tailroom was needed: commit 4cd06a344db752f513437138953af191cbe9a691 mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls It added a regression at least with iwl3945, which is fixed by this patch.

2011-02-04mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.Ben Greear7-89/+214
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work, and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is the current operating channel. * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL and is-scanning flags instead. * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured for the operating channel. * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.
