* mac80211: inform userspace of probe/auth/assoc timeoutJohannes Berg2008-10-311-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that when for some reason [1] the probe or auth times out, wpa_supplicant doesn't realise this and only tries the next AP when it runs into its own timeout, which is ten seconds, and that's quite long. Fix this by making mac80211 notify userspace that it didn't associate. [1] my wrt350n in mixed B/G/HT mode often runs into this, maybe it's because one of the antennas is broken off and for whatever reason it decides to use that antenna to transmit the response frames (auth, probe); I do see beacons fine so it's not totally broken. Works fine in pure-G mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: remove rate_control_clearJohannes Berg2008-10-314-19/+0

| | | | | | | | | | | | | NLA_NESTED attributes cannot be empty, but we want to be able to specify "no flags" (empty attribute) vs. "no change" (no attribute). Therefore, remove the NLA_NESTED policy so it can work as an empty attribute. I guess I should have used a u32 for these flags instead, but we're stuck with it now.

* make ieee80211 invisibleJohannes Berg2008-10-311-40/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes CONFIG_IEEE80211 invisible. The drivers that require it (ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap) select it, and everybody else really shouldn't even think about using it. Also, since there really is no point in compiling anything without crypto support these days, remove the crypto options and just enable them, leaving only the debugging option which only shows up when a driver is select that requires it. This makes it hard to enable, but most people wouldn't want to anyway.

* mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control APIJohannes Berg2008-10-3112-310/+306
| | | | | | | | | | | | So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control, most drivers don't support that though.

* mac80211: rewrite HT handlingJohannes Berg2008-10-314-153/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've (partially) fixed: * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP, hence has no chance of working as an AP * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers * it generally lets the driver control too much HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently. Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht(). Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs: * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any more since the refactoring * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities, but I see no cleaner solution for now.

* mac80211: provide sequence numbersJohannes Berg2008-10-312-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken. This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all those frames that need one except beacons. That means that if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing it need not worry about the sequence number. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* rfkill: rate-limit rfkill-input workqueue usage (v3)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-10-311-8/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Limit the number of "expensive" rfkill workqueue operations per second, in order to not hog system resources too much when faced with a rogue source of rfkill input events. The old rfkill-input code (before it was refactored) had such a limit in place. It used to drop new events that were past the rate limit. This behaviour was not implemented as an anti-DoS measure, but rather as an attempt to work around deficiencies in input device drivers which would issue multiple KEY_FOO events too soon for a given key FOO (i.e. ones that do not implement mechanical debouncing properly). However, we can't really expect such issues to be worked around by every input handler out there, and also by every userspace client of input devices. It is the input device driver's responsability to do debouncing instead of spamming the input layer with bogus events. The new limiter code is focused only on anti-DoS behaviour, and tries to not lose events (instead, it coalesces them when possible). The transmitters are updated once every 200ms, maximum. Care is taken not to delay a request to _enter_ rfkill transmitter Emergency Power Off (EPO) mode. If mistriggered (e.g. by a jiffies counter wrap), the code delays processing *once* by 200ms.

* rfkill: add master_switch_mode and EPO lock to rfkill and rfkill-inputHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-10-313-80/+274
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add of software-based sanity to rfkill and rfkill-input so that it can reproduce what hardware-based EPO switches do, blocking all transmitters and locking down any further attempts to unblock them until the switch is deactivated. rfkill-input is responsible for issuing the EPO control requests, like before. While an rfkill EPO is active, all transmitters are locked to one of the BLOCKED states and all attempts to change that through the rfkill API (userspace and kernel) will be either ignored or return -EPERM errors. The lock will be released upon receipt of EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON by rfkill-input, or should modular rfkill-input be unloaded. This makes rfkill and rfkill-input extend the operation of an existing wireless master kill switch to all wireless devices in the system, even those that are not under hardware or firmware control. Since the above is the expected operational behavior for the master rfkill switch, the EPO lock functionality is not optional. Also, extend rfkill-input to allow for three different behaviors when it receives an EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON input event. The user can set which behavior he wants through the master_switch_mode parameter: master_switch_mode = 0: EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON just unlocks rfkill controller state changes (so that the rfkill userspace and kernel APIs can now be used to change rfkill controller states again), but doesn't change any of their states (so they will all remain blocked). This is the safest mode of operation, as it requires explicit operator action to re-enable a transmitter. master_switch_mode = 1: EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON causes rfkill-input to attempt to restore the system to the state before the last EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF event, or to the default global states if no EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL OFF ever happened. This is the recommended mode of operation for laptops. master_switch_mode = 2: tries to unblock all rfkill controllers (i.e. enable all transmitters) when an EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL ON event is received. This is the default mode of operation, as it mimics the previous behavior of rfkill-input. In order to implement these features in a clean way, the entire event handling of rfkill-input was refactored into a single worker function. Protection against input event DoS (repeatedly firing rfkill events for rfkill-input to process) was removed during the code refactoring. It will be added back in a future patch. Note that with these changes, rfkill-input doesn't need to explicitly handle any radio types for which KEY_<radio type> or SW_<radio type> events do not exist yet. Code to handle EV_SW SW_{WLAN,WWAN,BLUETOOTH,WIMAX,...} was added as it might be needed in the future (and its implementation is not that obvious), but is currently #ifdef'd out to avoid wasting resources.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have to be careful when we try to unhash the credential in put_rpccred(), because we're not holding the credcache lock, so the call to rpcauth_unhash_cred() may fail if someone else has looked the cred up, and obtained a reference to it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to make sure that we don't remove creds from the cred_unused list if they are still under the moratorium, or else they will never get garbage collected. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the server sends us an RST error while we're in the TCP_ESTABLISHED state, then that will not result in a state change, and so the RPC client ends up hanging forever (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11154) We can intercept the reset by setting up an sk->sk_error_report callback, which will then allow us to initiate a proper shutdown and retry... We also make sure that if the send request receives an ECONNRESET, then we shutdown too... Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
