mac80211: fix crash on getting sta info with uninitialized rate control

2014-07-22T20:17:17Z

If the expected throughput is queried before rate control has been initialized, the minstrel op for it will crash while trying to access the rate table. Check for WLAN_STA_RATE_CONTROL before attempting to use the rate control op. Reported-by: Jean-Pierre Tosoni Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Revert "mac80211: move "bufferable MMPDU" check to fix AP mode scan"

2014-07-07T10:20:45Z

This reverts commit 277d916fc2e959c3f106904116bb4f7b1148d47a as it was at least breaking iwlwifi by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag in all kinds of interface modes, not only for AP mode where it is appropriate. To avoid reintroducing the original problem, explicitly check for probe request frames in the multicast buffering code.

mac80211: WEP extra head/tail room in ieee80211_send_auth

2014-06-23T08:45:14Z

After skb allocation and call to ieee80211_wep_encrypt in ieee80211_send_auth the flow fails with a warning in ieee80211_wep_add_iv on verification of available head/tailroom needed for WEP_IV and WEP_ICV. Signed-off-by: Max Stepanov Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

net: force a list_del() in unregister_netdevice_many()

2014-06-08T21:15:14Z

unregister_netdevice_many() API is error prone and we had too many bugs because of dangling LIST_HEAD on stacks. See commit f87e6f47933e3e ("net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD") In fact, instead of making sure no caller leaves an active list_head, just force a list_del() in the callee. No one seems to need to access the list after unregister_netdevice_many() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: set new interfaces as idle upon init

2014-05-28T14:22:49Z

Mark new interfaces as idle to allow operations that require that interfaces are idle to take place. Interface types that are always not idle (like AP interfaces) will be set as not idle when they are assigned a channel context.

mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load

2014-05-28T14:22:48Z

During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification, and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection. Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: don't check netdev state for debugfs read/write

2014-05-28T14:22:48Z

Doing so will lead to an oops for a p2p-dev interface, since it has no netdev. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix a memory leak on sta rate selection table

2014-05-28T14:22:41Z

If the rate control algorithm uses a selection table, it is leaked when the station is destroyed - fix that.
