| * mac80211: check whether scan is in progress before queueing scan_workTeemu Paasikivi2010-04-091-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As scan_work is queued from work_work it needs to be checked if scan has been started during execution of work_work. Otherwise, when hw scan is used, the stack gets error about hw being busy with ongoing scan. This causes the stack to abort scan without notifying the driver about it. This leads to a situation where the hw is scanning and the stack thinks it's not. Then when the scan finishes, the stack will complain by warnings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We delay the skb linearising in ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt so that frames do not require software decryption are not linearized. We are safe to do this because ieee80211_get_mmie_keyidx() only requires to touch nonlinear data for management frames, which are already linearized before getting here.

| * mac80211: enhance tracingJohannes Berg2010-04-088-4/+303
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enhance tracing by adding tracing for a variety of callbacks that the drivers call, and also for internal calls (currently limited to queue status). This can aid debugging what is going on in mac80211 in interaction with drivers, since we can now see what drivers call and not just what mac80211 calls in the driver.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WEP crypto was broken, but upon finding the problem it is evident that other things were broken by the paged RX patch as well. To fix it, for now move the linearising in front. This means that we linearise all frames, which is not at all what we want, but at least it fixes the problem for now.

Fix these issues by using the regular aggregation session teardown code and blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the station is really destructed. As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code block to destroy aggregation safely. Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs to keep track of the driver and peer states.

Wait for an RCU grace period to elapse before finishing destroying the station after we have removed the station from the driver and from the hash table etc., even in the case where no key is associated with the station. Also, there's no point in deleting the plink timer here since it'll be properly deleted just a bit later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * | cfg80211: Add local-state-change-only auth/deauth/disassocJouni Malinen2010-04-071-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfg80211 is quite strict on allowing authentication and association commands only in certain states. In order to meet these requirements, user space applications may need to clear authentication or association state in some cases. Currently, this can be done with deauth/disassoc command, but that ends up sending out Deauthentication or Disassociation frame unnecessarily. Add a new nl80211 attribute to allow this sending of the frame be skipped, but with all other deauth/disassoc operations being completed. Similar state change is also needed for IEEE 802.11r FT protocol in the FT-over-DS case which does not use Authentication frame exchange in a transition to another BSS. For this to work with cfg80211, an authentication entry needs to be created for the target BSS without sending out an Authentication frame. The nl80211 authentication command can be used for this purpose, too, with the new attribute to indicate that the command is only for changing local state. This enables wpa_supplicant to complete FT-over-DS transition successfully. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

However, it did not handle the RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED correctly for Management frames: ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() can only return 0 for Management frames, so there is no point in calling it here. Instead, just check the status->flag directly. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * | mac80211: Fix dropping of unprotected robust multicast framesJouni Malinen2010-03-311-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When selecting the RX key for group-addressed robust management frames, we do not actually select any BIP key if the frame is unprotected (since we cannot find the key index from MMIE). This results in the drop_unencrypted check in failing to drop the frame. It is enough to verify that we have a STA entry for the transmitter and that MFP is enabled for that STA; we do not need to check rx->key here. This fixes BIP processing for unprotected, group-addressed, robust management frames. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * | mac80211: Fix BIP to be used only with group-addressed framesJouni Malinen2010-03-311-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BIP (part of IEEE 802.11w) is only supposed to be used with group-addressed frames. We ended up picking it as a default mechanism for every management whenever we did not have a STA entry for the destination (e.g., for Probe Response to a STA that is not associated). While the extra MMIE in the end of management frames should not break frames completed in most cases, there is no point in doing this. Fix key selection to pick the default management key only if the frame is sent to multicast/broadcast address and the frame is a robust management frame.

| * | mac80211: Send deauth/disassoc prior to dropping STA entryJouni Malinen2010-03-311-9/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, the deauthentication and disassociation frames must be protected whenever the encryption keys are configured. We were removing the STA entry and with it, the keys, just before actually sending out these frames which meant that the frames went out unprotected. The AP will drop them in such a case. Fix this by reordering the operations a bit so that sta_info_destroy_addr() gets called only after ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc(). Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

This op function configures the requested connection quality monitor rssi threshold and rssi hysteresis values to the hardware if the hardware supports IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CQM. For unsupported hardware, currently -EOPNOTSUPP is returned, so the mac80211 is currently not doing connection quality monitoring on the host. This could be added later, if needed.

The wl1271 has a feature which handles the connection monitor logic in hardware, basically sending periodically nullfunc frames and reporting to the host if AP is lost, after attempting to recover by sending probe-requests to the AP. Add support to mac80211 by adding a new flag IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR which prevents conn_mon_timer from triggering during idle periods, and prevents sending probe-requests to the AP if beacon-loss is indicated by the hardware.

| * | mac80211: give warning if building w/out rate ctrl algorithmAndres Salomon2010-03-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered that if EMBEDDED=y, one can accidentally build a mac80211 stack and drivers w/ no rate control algorithm. For drivers like RTL8187 that don't supply their own RC algorithms, this will cause ieee80211_register_hw to fail (making the driver unusable). This will tell kconfig to provide a warning if no rate control algorithms have been selected. That'll at least warn the user; users that know that their drivers supply a rate control algorithm can safely ignore the warning, and those who don't know (or who expect to be using multiple drivers) can select a default RC algorithm.
