2015-01-22mac80211: allow drivers to control software cryptoJohannes Berg2-29/+46
Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but mac80211 currently assumes that they do. This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the key setting refused. Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1. The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers that the driver can't actually do. While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-21mac80211: fix HW registration error pathsJohannes Berg1-6/+6
Station info state is started in allocation, so should be destroyed on free (it's just a timer); rate control must be freed if anything afterwards fails to initialize. LED exit should be later, no need for locking there, but it needs to be done also when rate init failed. Also clean up the code by moving a label so the locking doesn't have to be done separately.

2015-01-15cfg80211: change bandwidth reporting to explicit fieldJohannes Berg4-36/+84
For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different bandwidths at the same time. Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field for the bandwidth ('bw') instead. While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate, but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them.

2015-01-14mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possibleEmmanuel Grumbach10-22/+27
When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

2015-01-09mac80211: fix handling TIM IE when stations disconnectJohannes Berg1-3/+13
When a station disconnects with frames still pending, we clear the TIM bit, but too late - it's only cleared when the station is already removed from the driver, and thus the driver can get confused (and hwsim will loudly complain.) Fix this by clearing the TIM bit earlier, when the station has been unlinked but not removed from the driver yet. To do this, refactor the TIM recalculation to in that case ignore traffic and simply assume no pending traffic - this is correct for the disconnected station even though the frames haven't been freed yet at that point. This patch isn't needed for current drivers though as they don't check the station argument to the set_tim() operation and thus don't really run into the possible confusion.

The base for the current statistics is pretty mixed up, support exporting RX/TX statistics for MSDUs per TID. This (currently) covers received MSDUs, transmitted MSDUs and retries/failures thereof. Doing it per TID for MSDUs makes more sense than say only per AC because it's symmetric - we could export per-AC statistics for all frames (which AC we used for transmission can be determined also for management frames) but per TID is better and usually data frames are really the ones we care about. Also, on RX we can't determine the AC - but we do know the TID for any QoS MPDU we received. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2015-01-08mac80211: allow drivers to provide most station statisticsJohannes Berg3-73/+87
In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211. Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"), that can be added if it turns out to be needed.

2015-01-07mac80211: Re-fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counterIdo Yariv1-6/+3
When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented for most drivers. The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid assumption for p54 and cw1200. Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

2014-12-17cfg80211: return private regdom for self-managed devicesArik Nemtsov1-0/+24
If a device has self-managed regulatory, insist on returning the wiphy specific regdomain if a wiphy-idx is specified. The global regdomain is meaningless for such devices. Also add an attribute for self-managed devices, so usermode can distinguish them as such. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov <arikx.nemtsov@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Luis R.

2014-12-17cfg80211: allow wiphy specific regdomain managementJonathan Doron5-19/+149
Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain changes/updates for its own wiphy. A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible with non-locally originated hints. A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on its wiphy only. After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get a new type of change notification. The regulatory core also takes care enforce regulatory restrictions, in case some interfaces are on forbidden channels.
