* mac80211: Check size of a new mesh path table for changes since allocation.Javier Cardona2011-05-111-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent that value from changing between table allocation and copying.

* nl80211: Introduce NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AMPEJavier Cardona2011-05-114-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace. Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace and hand them over to the kernel. From that point the mesh stack would take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management). These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange in userspace. The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

* mac80211: don't drop frames where skb->len < 24 in ieee80211_scan_rx()Luciano Coelho2011-05-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seems to be a leftover from the old days, when we didn't support any frames that didn't contain the full ieee802.11 header. This is not the case anymore. It does not cause problems now, because they are only dropped during scan. But when scheduled scans get merged, this would become a problem because we would drop all small frames while scheduled scan is running. To fix this, return RX_CONTINUE instead of RX_DROP_MONITOR.

* mac80211: add basic support for WoWLANJohannes Berg2011-05-058-5/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds basic support for the new WoWLAN configuration in mac80211. The behaviour is completely offloaded to the driver though, with two new callbacks (suspend/resume).

* mac80211: Postpond ps timer if tx is stopped by othersRajkumar Manoharan2011-05-051-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever the driver's queue depth reaches the max, the queues are stopped by the driver till the driver can accept the frames. At the mean time dynamic_ps_timer can be expired due to not receiving packet from upper layer which could restart the transmission at the end of ps work. Due to the mismatch with driver state, mac80211 is unneccesarity buffering all the frames till the driver wakes up the queue. Check whether there is no transmit or the tx queues were stopped by some reasons. If any of the queue was stopped, the postpond ps timer and do not restart netif_tx.

To restart the trasmission use netif_tx_wake_all_queues. Not doing so, sometimes stalls the transmission and the application has to be restarted to proceed further. This issue was originally found while sending udp traffic in higer bandwidth in open environment without bgscan.

* mac80211: Fix a warning due to skipping tailroom reservation for IVMohammed Shafi Shajakhan2011-05-051-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The devices that require IV generation in software need tailroom reservation for ICVs used in TKIP or WEP encryptions. Currently, decision to skip the tailroom reservation in the tx path was taken only on whether driver wants MMIC to be generated in software or not. Following patch appends IV generation check for such decisions and fixes the following warning.

* mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handlingChristian Lamparter2011-05-022-61/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's own software crypto or when are handed down from the driver. This patch tries to unify both by moving the special branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the software crypto part. This has the advantage that we can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because several devices generate false postive MIC failure reports.

* | mac80211: Check for queued frames before entering power save.Vivek Natarajan2011-04-123-8/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a highly noisy environment, the tx rate of the driver drops and the application slows down since it has not yet received ACKs for the frames already queued in the hardware. Since this ACK may take more than 100ms, stopping the dev queues for entering PS at this stage breaks applications, WMM test cases in my testing. If there are frames already pending in the tx queue, postponing the PS logic helps to avoid redundant queue stops. When power save is enabled by default and in a noisy environment, this API certainly helps in improving the average throughput.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleaning the ieee80211_rx_data.flags field here is wrong, instead the flags should be valid accross processing the frame on different interfaces. Fix this by removing the incorrect flags=0 assignment. Introduced in commit 554891e63a29af35cc6bb403ef34e319518114d0 (mac80211: move packet flags into packet).

| * mac80211: fix aggregation frame release during timeoutDaniel Halperin2011-03-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suppose the aggregation reorder buffer looks like this: x-T-R1-y-R2, where x and y are frames that have not been received, T is a received frame that has timed out, and R1,R2 are received frames that have not yet timed out. The proper behavior in this scenario is to move the window past x (skipping it), release T and R1, and leave the window at y until y is received or R2 times out. As written, this code will instead leave the window at R1, because it has not yet timed out. Fix this by exiting the reorder loop only when the frame that has not timed out AND there are skipped frames earlier in the current valid window.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ieee80211_key struct can be kfree()d several times in the function, for example if some of the key setup functions fails beforehand, but there's no check if the struct is still valid before we call memcpy() and INIT_LIST_HEAD() on it. In some cases (like it was in my case), if there's missing aes-generic module it could lead to the following kernel OOPS: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000018c .... PC is at memcpy+0x80/0x29c ...
