* mac80211: avoid NULL ptr deref when finding max_rates in PID and minstrelJohn W. Linville2009-05-112-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | "There is another problem with this piece of code. The sband will be NULL after second iteration on single band device and cause null pointer dereference. Everything is working with dual band card. Sorry, but i don't know how to explain this clearly in English. I have looked on the second patch for pid algorithm and found similar bug."

* mac80211: pid, fix memory corruptionJiri Slaby2009-05-041-34/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one associated the first time. Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate big enough space. Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics. Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell. The fix is to sort the rates on each band change. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: minstrel, fix memory corruptionJiri Slaby2009-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | minstrel doesn't count max rate count in fact, since it doesn't use a loop variable `i' and hence allocs space only for bitrates found in the first band. Fix it by involving the `i' as an index so that it traverses all the bands now and finds the real max bitrate count.

* mac80211: correct fragmentation threshold checkJohannes Berg2009-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fragmentation threshold is defined to be including the FCS, and the code that sets the TX_FRAGMENTED flag correctly accounts for those four bytes. The code that verifies this doesn't though, which could lead to spurious warnings and frames being dropped although everything is ok. Correct the code by accounting for the FCS.

* mac80211: default to automatic power controlJohannes Berg2009-04-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In "mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler" I fixed the wext handler, but forgot to make the default of the user_power_level -1 (aka "auto"), so that now the transmit power is always set to 0, causing associations to time out and similar problems since we're transmitting with very little power.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - ieee80211_wep_init(), which is called with rtnl_lock held, blocks in request_module() [waiting for modprobe to load a crypto module]. - modprobe blocks in a call to flush_workqueue(), when it closes a TTY [presumably when it exits]. - The workqueue item linkwatch_event() blocks on rtnl_lock.

* mac80211: Fix bug in getting rx status for frames pending in reorder bufferVasanthakumar Thiagarajan2009-04-161-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw, second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch, there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

* mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifiJohannes Berg2009-03-277-140/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

* mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stopJohannes Berg2009-03-276-78/+217
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb queue once aggregation is turned on successfully. We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in a follow-up patch. This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

* mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation startJohannes Berg2009-03-271-36/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps: 1) print a debug message 2) wake the virtual queue 3) notify the driver Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both places where TX aggregation can become operational.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mac80211 resumes, it currently doesn't reconfigure the interfaces entirely and also doesn't reconfigure BSS information -- fix this. Also, to be able to test this, add a debugfs file that just calls the suspend/resume code to see what happens when we go through that, without needing the time-consuming suspend/resume cycle. (Original version broke the build for CONFIG_PM=n. Define alternative functions for that situation. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen2009-03-274-11/+184
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Malinen2009-03-271-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: Fix reassociation by not clearing previous BSSIDJouni Malinen2009-03-271-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within the same ESS for reassociation to be used properly. It is fine to clear this when the SSID changes, so let's move the code into ieee80211_sta_set_ssid(). Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: don't drop nullfunc frames during software scanKalle Valo2009-03-272-1/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never buffered any frames for the station during software scan. Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and nullfunc frames during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.

* mac80211: Tear down aggregation sessions for suspend/resumeSujith2009-03-274-0/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>. This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend. Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress. This is fixed by marking the station as being in suspend state and denying ADDBA requests for such STAs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid concurrent manipulations of the sta list (which shouldn't be possible at this point, but anyway) we need to hold the sta_lock around iterating the list. At the same time, we do not need to iterate the list at all if the driver doesn't want to be notified.

* mac80211: start pending scan after probe/auth/assoc timed outHelmut Schaa2009-03-271-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-, authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY). Fix this by queueing the sta work again after direct probe-, authentication- and association- timeout. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
