2013-04-16mac80211: remove warning from ieee80211_beacon_lossAlexander Bondar1-1/+0
Currently, mac80211 assumes that connection monitor offload for BSS station implies that the device: - sends periodic keep alive packets to associated AP - monitors missed beacons - actively probes the AP in case of missed beacons In case of poor connection conditions it expects the function ieee80211_connection_loss() to be called by driver. However, some devices implement connection monitor offload excluding active AP probing. To allow them to call ieee80211_beacon_loss() cleanly, remove the warning there and thus allow them to use mac80211 for the AP probing even if connection monitor offload is supported.

2013-04-16mac80211: handle wide bandwidth channel switchJohannes Berg1-17/+79
Parse and react to the wide bandwidth channel switch element in beacons/action frames. Finding the element was done in a previous patch (it has different positions in beacons/action frames), now handle it. If there's something wrong with it simply disconnect. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16mac80211: parse VHT channel switch IEsJohannes Berg8-18/+53
VHT introduces multiple IEs that need to be parsed for a wide bandwidth channel switch. Two are (currently) needed in mac80211: * wide bandwidth channel switch element * channel switch wrapper element The former is contained in the latter for beacons and probe responses, but not for the spectrum management action frames so the IE parser needs a new argument to differentiate them.

2013-04-16mac80211: handle extended channel switch announcementJohannes Berg2-4/+43
Handle the (public) extended channel switch announcement action frames. Parts of the data in these frames isn't really in IEs, but put it into the elems struct anyway to simplify the handling. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16mac80211: support secondary channel offset in CSAJohannes Berg4-20/+70
Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling of CSA on HT access points. For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular, the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16mac80211: support extended channel switchJohannes Berg3-26/+59
Support extended channel switch when the operating class is one of the global operating classes as defined in Annex E of 802.11-2012. If it isn't, disconnect from the AP instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16cfg80211: add ieee80211_operating_class_to_bandJohannes Berg1-0/+20
This function converts a (global only!) operating class to an internal band identifier. This will be needed for extended channel switch support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16mac80211: unify CSA action frame/beacon processingJohannes Berg3-36/+43
CSA action frame content should be processed as variable IEs rather than fixed to make it extensible. Unify the code and process them just like CSA in beacons to make it easier to extend for HT/VHT. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16mac80211: use second center_freq segment only in 80+80Johannes Berg1-6/+4
The field is otherwise reserved, so we shouldn't read and reject it, though any sane system will probably have to set it to 0 anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-16wireless: regulatory: fix channel disabling race conditionJohannes Berg1-1/+1
When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well. Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-11mac80211: always pick a basic rate to tx RTS/CTS for pre-HT ratesKarl Beldan1-4/+7
When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the data rate"(code comments). But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its 1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic rate index. This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in this situation. Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates.

2013-04-11mac80211: fix ieee80211_queue_stopped()Thomas Pedersen1-1/+2
Johannes Berg notes mac80211 drivers which use ieee80211_queue_stopped() really only want to know if they previously requested a queue stop. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-10mac80211: provide SSID in IBSS modeMarek Puzyniak1-0/+4
Some drivers need SSID in AP and IBSS mode. AP SSID is provided through BSS_CHANGED_SSID notification. There was no easy way to do the same for IBSS. In IBSS mode SSID is known but was not stored in BSS configuration. Extend the AP-mode functionality to also work in IBSS mode.

2013-04-10mac80211: always advertise STBC/MCSes even if no AP supportJohannes Berg1-32/+0
Advertise STBC capabilities and MCS rates even if the AP doesn't support them. This has always been the right thing to do, but used to be problematic with some APs. Now WFA testing requires this so re-enable it, problematic APs would then presumably not pass the test and be fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-10mac80211: clear SSID when stopping APMarek Puzyniak1-0/+1
When AP interface is stopped ssid_len in the BSS configuration isn't cleared which can confuse drivers when switching modes. Set the length to zero when stopping the AP interface. Signed-off-by: Marek Puzyniak <marek.puzyniak@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-08mac80211: don't start new netdev queues if driver stoppedJohannes Berg1-2/+22
If a new netdev (e.g. an AP VLAN) is created while the driver has queues stopped, the new netdev queues will be started even though they shouldn't. This will lead to frames accumulating on the internal mac80211 pending queues instead of properly being held on the netdev queues. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: replace some dead code by a warningJohannes Berg1-1/+2
Given the (nested) switch statements, this code can't be reached, so make it warn instead of manipulating the carrier state which seems purposeful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: don't fiddle with netdev queues in MLME codeJohannes Berg1-24/+2
The netdev queues should always represent the state that the driver gave them, so fiddling with them isn't really appropriate in the mlme code. Also, since we stop queues for flushing now, this really isn't necessary any more. As the scan/offchannel code has also been modified to no longer do this a while ago, remove the outdated smp_mb() and comments about it. While at it, also add a pair of braces that was missing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: disable uAPSD if all ACs are under ACMAlexander Bondar1-1/+2
It's unlikely that an AP requires WMM mandatory admission control for all access categories, and if it does then we still transmit on the background AC without requesting admission. However, avoid using uAPSD in this case since the implementation could run into issues and might use other ACs etc. Signed-off-by: Alexander Bondar <alexander.bondar@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: fix do_stop handling while suspendedJohannes Berg1-25/+49
When a device is unplugged while suspended, mac80211 is de-initialized and all interfaces are removed while no state is actually present in the driver. This can cause warnings and driver confusion. Fix this by reordering the do_stop code to not call the driver when it is suspended, i.e. when there's no state in the driver anyway. The previous patches removed a few corner cases in ROC and virtual monitor interfaces so that now this is safe to do and no state should be left over.

2013-04-08mac80211: destroy virtual monitor interface across suspendJohannes Berg4-6/+11
It has to be removed from the driver, but completely destroying it helps handle unplug of a device during suspend since then the channel context handling etc. doesn't have to happen later when it's removed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: purge remain-on-channel items when suspendingJohannes Berg4-5/+8
They can't really be executed while suspended and could trigger work warnings, so abort all ROC items. When the system resumes the notifications about this will be delivered to userspace which can then act accordingly (though it will assume they were canceled/finished.)

2013-04-08mac80211: remove outdated comment referring to master interfaceJohannes Berg1-6/+1

2013-04-08mac80211: return new mpath from mesh_path_add()Bob Copeland4-51/+42
Most times that mesh_path_add() is called, it is followed by a lookup to get the just-added mpath. We can instead just return the new mpath in the case that we allocated one (or the existing one if already there), so do that. Also, reorder the code in mesh_path_add a bit so that we don't need to allocate in the pre-existing case.

2013-04-08mac80211: fix the PREP mesh hwmp debug messageChun-Yeow Yeoh1-2/+2
The mesh hwmp debug message is a bit confusing.

2013-03-25mac80211: allow drivers to set default uAPSD parametersAlexander Bondar2-2/+4
mac80211 currently sets uAPSD parameters to have VO AC trigger- and delivery-enabled, with maximum service period length. Allow drivers to change these default settings since different uAPSD client implementations may handle errors differently and be able to recover from some errors. Note: some APs may not function correctly if one or all ACs are trigger- and delivery-enabled, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/93577.

2013-03-20cfg80211: fix potential connection work crashJohannes Berg1-1/+1
If wpa_supplicant and iw/iwconfig are used together, very rarely the system crashes.
