* | cfg80211: fix disabling channels based on hintsLuis R. Rodriguez2010-11-151-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies. So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had no information about the band we are currently processing. This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling 5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices further as was intended. If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one channel on the respective band we are procesing. This was the original intention behind this design but it was completely overlooked...

* | cfg80211: fix allowing country IEs for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORYLuis R. Rodriguez2010-11-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should be enabling country IE hints for WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY even if we haven't yet recieved regulatory domain hint for the driver if it needed one. Without this Country IEs are not passed on to drivers that have set WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY, today this is just all Atheros chipset drivers: ath5k, ath9k, ar9170, carl9170.

* cfg80211: fix regression on processing country IEsLuis R. Rodriguez2010-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch 4f366c5: wireless: only use alpha2 regulatory information from country IE removed some complex intersection we were always doing between the AP's country IE info and what we got from CRDA. When CRDA sent us back a regulatory domain we would do some sanity checks on that regulatory domain response we just got. Part of these sanity checks included checking that we already had performed an intersection for the request of NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE type. This mean that cfg80211 was only processing country IEs for cases where we already had an intersection, but since we removed enforcing this this is no longer required, we should just apply the country IE country hint with the data received from CRDA. This patch has fixes intended for kernels >= 2.6.36. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Easwar Krishnan <easwar.krishnan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5a254ffe3ffdfa84fe076009bd8e88da412180d2. The commit failed to take into account that allocated wireless devices (wiphys) are not added into the device list upon allocation, but only when they are registered. Therefore, it opened up a race between allocating and registering a name, so that if two processes allocate and register concurrently ("alloc, alloc, register, register" rather than "alloc, register, alloc, register") the code will attempt to use the same name twice.

This can cause errors since the unlinking code can't currently deal with items that have already been unlinked. Normally this doesn't happen as most people don't try to use multiple station interfaces that associate at the same time too. Fix this by using the list entry as a flag to see if the item is still on a list.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow userspace to register for more than just action frames by giving the frame subtype, and make it possible to use this in various modes as well. With some tweaks and some added functionality this will, in the future, also be usable in AP mode and be able to replace the cooked monitor interface currently used in that case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function analyses only its single, value-passed argument, and has no side effects. Thus it can be const, which makes mac80211 smaller, for example: text data bss dec hex filename 362518 16720 884 380122 5ccda mac80211.ko (before) 362358 16720 884 379962 5cc3a mac80211.ko (after) a 160 byte saving in text size, and an optimisation because the function won't be called as often.
