| * mac80211: add offload channel switch supportJohannes Berg2010-05-121-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for offloading the channel switch operation to devices that support such, typically by having specific firmware API for it. The reasons for this could be that the firmware provides better timing or that regulatory enforcement done by the device requires special handling of CSAs. In order to allow drivers to specify the timing to the device, the new channel_switch callback will pass through the received frame's mactime, where available.

| * mac80211: give virtual interface to hw_scanJohannes Berg2010-04-271-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When scanning, it is somewhat important to scan on the correct virtual interface. All drivers that currently implement hw_scan only support a single virtual interface, but that may change and then we'd want to be ready.

| * mac80211: sample survey implementation for mac80211 & hwsimHolger Schurig2010-04-201-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the survey function to both mac80211 itself and to mac80211_hwsim. For the latter driver, we simply invent some noise level.A real driver which cannot determine the real channel noise MUST NOT report any noise, especially not a magically conjured one :-) Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <holgerschurig@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepJohannes Berg2010-02-081-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

* mac80211: fix update_tkip_key() documentation about the contextKalle Valo2010-01-251-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Johannes noticed that I had incorrectly documented the context of update_tkip_key() driver operation. It must be atomic because all RX code is run inside rcu critical section.

* mac80211: pass vif and station to update_tkip_keyJohannes Berg2010-01-221-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | When a TKIP key is updated, we should pass the station pointer instead of just the address, since drivers can use that to store their own data. We also need to pass the virtual interface pointer. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

* mac80211: annotate sleeping driver opsKalle Valo2009-12-281-4/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make it easier to notice cases of calling sleeping ops in atomic context, annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time, also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts. mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently. Just to be on the safe side, I documented it to be atomic, but hopefully the op can be removed in the future. Compile-tested only.

* mac80211: introduce flush operationJohannes Berg2009-12-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers can implement to provide that confirmation, and use it in a few places: * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any * when going idle, to send any pending frames Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: trace interface nameJohannes Berg2009-12-211-14/+15

* mac80211: reduce reliance on netdevJohannes Berg2009-12-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The entire aggregation code currently operates on the hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step preparing for that make the aggregation code callable with the station, or by the combination of virtual interface and station address.

* mac80211: remove tasklet enable/disableJohannes Berg2009-08-281-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's no need to ever disable them. However, we need to clear the pending packets when taking down the last interface because otherwise the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't). I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really should not do that for other reasons, but there's no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it should just warn instead.

* mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleepJohannes Berg2009-08-201-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

* cfg80211: add rfkill supportJohannes Berg2009-06-031-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | To be easier on drivers and users, have cfg80211 register an rfkill structure that drivers can access. When soft-killed, simply take down all interfaces; when hard-killed the driver needs to notify us and we will take down the interfaces after the fact. While rfkilled, interfaces cannot be set UP.

* mac80211: add driver ops wrappersJohannes Berg2009-05-061-0/+184
In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers for all operations. All calls are now written as drv_<op>(local, ...); instead of local->ops-><op>(&local->hw, ...); Where necessary, the wrappers also do existence checking and return default values as appropriate.
