* cfg80211: add feature to hold bssKalle Valo2009-03-273-1/+46
| | | | | | | | | In beacon filtering there needs to be a way to not expire the BSS even when no beacons are received. Add an interface to cfg80211 to hold BSS and make sure that it's not expired.

* mac80211: disable power save when scanningKalle Valo2009-03-272-7/+69
| | | | | | | | | When software scanning we need to disable power save so that all possible probe responses and beacons are received.

* mac80211: track beacons separately from the rx path activityKalle Valo2009-03-273-32/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | Separate beacon and rx path tracking in preparation for the beacon filtering support. At the same time change ieee80211_associated() to look a bit simpler. Probe requests are now sent only after IEEE80211_PROBE_IDLE_TIME, which is now set to 60 seconds. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: decrease execution of the associated timerKalle Valo2009-03-273-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the timer is triggering every two seconds (IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL). Decrease the timer to only trigger during data idle periods to avoid waking up CPU unnecessary. The timer will still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later. There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity on the data path. This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to Johannes Berg for the idea. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REGLuis R. Rodriguez2009-03-272-5/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using this though. Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

* cfg80211: fix incorrect assumption on last_request for 11dLuis R. Rodriguez2009-03-271-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request (last_request) is always a country IE when processing country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the first time this happens this could not be true. This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the assumption the struct won't be null.

* nl80211: Remove NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IEJouni Malinen2009-03-278-240/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The functionality that NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE provided can now be achieved with cleaner design by adding IE(s) into NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN, NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE, NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE, NL80211_CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE, and NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE. Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove the implementation of this command for now. The enum values themselves are left to avoid changing the nl80211 command or attribute numbers. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* b43: Mask PHY TX error interrupt, if not debuggingMichael Buesch2009-03-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This masks the PHY TX error interrupt, if debugging is disabled. Currently we have a bug somewhere which triggers this interrupt once in a while. (Depends on the network noise/quality). While this is nonfatal, it scares the hell out of users and we frequently receive bugreports that incorrectly identify this error message as the reason. There's another problem with this. The PHY TX error interrupt is protected with a watchdog that will restart the device if it keeps triggering very often. This is used to fix interrupt storms from completely broken devices. However, this watchdog might trigger in completely normal operation. If the TX capacity of the card is saturated, the likeliness of the watchdog triggering increases, as more TX errors occur. The current threshold for the watchdog is 1000 errors in 15 seconds. This patch adds a workaround for the issue by just enabling the interrupt if debugging is disabled (by Kconfig or by modparam). This has the downside that real fatal PHY TX errors are not caught anymore. But this is nonfatal due to the following reasons: * If the card is not able to transmit anymore, MLME will notice anyway. * I did _never_ see a real fatal PHY TX error in a mainline b43 driver. * It does _not_ result in interrupt storms or something like that. It will simply result in a stalled card. It can be debugged by enabling the debugging module parameter. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch> Signed-off-by: John W.

* nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen2009-03-278-21/+601
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

* nl80211: Event notifications for MLME eventsJouni Malinen2009-03-277-4/+219
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

* nl80211: rework lockingJohannes Berg2009-03-271-105/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I added scanning to cfg80211, we got a lock dependency like this: rtnl --> cfg80211_mtx nl80211, on the other hand, has the reverse lock dependency: cfg80211_mtx --> rtnl which clearly is a bad idea. This patch reworks nl80211 to take these two locks in the other order to fix the possible, and easily triggerable, deadlock.
