* mac80211: advertise operating mode notification capabilityJohannes Berg2013-02-152-0/+11
| | | | | | | Use the new extended capabilities advertising to advertise the fact that operating mode notification is supported. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* cfg80211: advertise extended capabilities to userspaceJohannes Berg2013-02-153-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | In many cases, userspace may need to know which of the 802.11 extended capabilities ("Extended Capabilities element") are implemented in the driver or device, to include them e.g. in beacons, assoc request/response or other frames. Add a new nl80211 attribute to hold the extended capabilities bitmap for this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: stop modifying HT SMPS capabilityJohannes Berg2013-02-1511-48/+50
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of modifying the HT SMPS capability field for stations, track the SMPS mode explicitly in a new field in the station struct and use it in the drivers that care about it. This simplifies the code using it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* mac80211: cache mesh beaconThomas Pedersen2013-02-156-65/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the entire mesh beacon would be generated each time the beacon timer fired. Instead generate a beacon head and tail (so the TIM can easily be inserted when mesh power save is on) when starting a mesh or the MBSS parameters change. Also add a mutex for protecting beacon updates and preventing leaks. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* mac80211: properly track HT/VHT operation changesJohannes Berg2013-02-151-68/+168
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A while ago, I made the mac80211 station code never change the channel type after association. This solved a number of issues but is ultimately wrong, we should react if the AP changes the HT operation IE and switches bandwidth. One of the issues is that we associate as HT40 capable, but if the AP ever switches to 40 MHz we won't be able to receive such frames because we never set our channel to 40 MHz. This addresses this and VHT operation changes. If there's a change that is incompatible with our setup, e.g. if the AP decides to change the channel entirely (and for some reason we still hear the beacon) we'll just disconnect.

* mac80211: add ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidthJohannes Berg2013-02-153-0/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For HT and VHT the current bandwidth can change, add the function ieee80211_vif_change_bandwidth() to take care of this. It returns a failure if the new bandwidth isn't compatible with the existing channel context, the caller has to handle that. When it happens, also inform the driver that the bandwidth changed for this virtual interface (no drivers would actually care today though.) Changing to/from HT/VHT isn't allowed though.

* mac80211: disable HT/VHT if AP has no HT/VHT capabilityJohannes Berg2013-02-151-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | Having HT/VHT operation IEs but not capability IEs leads to a strange situation where we configure the channel to an HT or VHT bandwidth and then can't actually use it. Prevent this by checking that the HT and VHT capability IEs are present as well as the operation IEs; if not, disable HT and/or VHT. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: handle operating mode notif in beacon/assoc responseJohannes Berg2013-02-155-6/+38
| | | | | | | | | | In beacons and association response frames an AP may include an operating mode notification element to advertise changes in the number of spatial streams it can receive. Handle this using the existing function that handles the action frame, but only handle NSS changes, not bandwidth changes which aren't allowed here.

* mac80211: fix HT/VHT disable flagsJohannes Berg2013-02-151-2/+2

* mac80211: init HT TX data before rate controlJohannes Berg2013-02-151-20/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of connection, the station data is initialised from the beacon/probe response first and then updated from the association response. If the latter is different we update the rate control algorithm and driver. Instead of doing it this way, set the station data properly with data from the association response before initializing rate control. Also simplify the code by passing the station pointer.

* mac80211: track number of spatial streamsJohannes Berg2013-02-154-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | With VHT, a station can change the number of spatial streams it can receive on the fly, not unlike spatial multiplexing in HT.

* mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg2013-02-1527-158/+184
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

| | | | | | | | | Like with HT, make things a bit simpler in future patches by passing the station to ieee80211_vht_cap_ie_to_sta_vht_cap() instead of the vht_cap pointer. Also disable VHT here if HT isn't supported. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When trying to connect to an AP that advertises HT but not VHT, the mac80211 code erroneously uses the configuration from the AP as is instead of checking it against regulatory and local capabilities. This can lead to using an invalid or even inexistent channel (like 11/HT40+). Additionally, the return flags from downgrading must be ORed together, to collect them from all of the downgrades.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface, which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it. While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so also prevent that and warn on it.

* | mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handlingJohannes Berg2013-02-154-4/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent.

* | mac80211: Add flushes before going off-channelSeth Forshee2013-02-112-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've got a couple of races when enabling powersave with an AP for off-channel operation. The first is fairly simple. If we go off-channel before the nullfunc frame to enable PS is transmitted then it may not be received by the AP. Add a flush after enabling off-channel PS to prevent this from happening. The second race is a bit more subtle. If the driver supports QoS and has frames queued when the nullfunc frame is queued, those frames may get transmitted after the nullfunc frame. If PM is not set then the AP is being told that we've exited PS before we go off-channel and may try to deliver frames. To prevent this, add a flush after stopping the queues but before passing the nullfunc frame to the driver.

* | mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scansSeth Forshee2013-02-117-25/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
