mac80211: fix queues stuck issue with HT bandwidth change

2012-07-16T16:04:40Z

No upstream commit, the buggy code was removed in 3.5 in commit 7213cf2cb0dfbb4d6b55a1da000d34338f76c0e3 and others. Rajkumar changed code for handling channel switching in mac80211 to stop the queues in commit 7cc44ed48d0ec0937c1f098642540b6c9ca38de5 Author: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Fri Sep 16 15:32:34 2011 +0530 mac80211: Fix regression on queue stop during 2040 bss change which went into 3.2. In the 3.4 cycle, Paul's change commit 3117bbdb7899d43927c8ce4fe885ab7c1231c121 Author: Paul Stewart Date: Tue Mar 13 07:46:18 2012 -0700 mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deaf went in and changed the TX/RX enable logic, but now the conditions for stopping and restarting the queues were different so that now, if the AP changes between 20/40 MHz bandwidth, it can happen that we stop but never restart the queues. This breaks the connection and the module actually has to be reloaded to get it back to work. Fix this by making sure the queues are always started when they were stopped.

mac80211: correct behaviour on unrecognised action frames

2012-07-16T16:04:23Z

commit 4b5ebccc40843104d980f0714bc86bfcd5568941 upstream. When receiving an "individually addressed" action frame, the receiver is required to return it to the sender. mac80211 gets this wrong as it also returns group addressed (mcast) frames to the sender. Fix this and update the reference to the new 802.11 standards version since things were shuffled around significantly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: clear ifmgd->bssid only after building DELBA

2012-07-16T16:04:22Z

commit 88a9e31c506c00c8b7a2f1611406d0e38dcb33b3 upstream. ieee80211_set_disassoc() clears ifmgd->bssid before building DELBA frames, resulting in frames with invalid bssid ("00:00:00:00:00:00"). Fix it by clearing ifmgd->bssid only after building all the needed frames. After this change, we no longer need to save the bssid (before clearing it), so remove the local array.

mac80211: fix non RCU-safe sta_list manipulation

2012-06-17T18:21:25Z

commit 794454ce72a298de6f4536ade597bdcc7dcde7c7 upstream. sta_info_cleanup locks the sta_list using rcu_read_lock however the delete operation isn't rcu safe. A race between sta_info_cleanup timer being called and a STA being removed can occur which leads to a panic while traversing sta_list. Fix this by switching to the RCU-safe versions.

mac80211: clean up remain-on-channel on interface stop

2012-06-17T18:21:25Z

commit 71ecfa1893034eeb1c93e02e22ee2ad26d080858 upstream. When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it. Reported-by: Nirav Shah Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: fix error in station state transitions during reconfig

2012-06-17T18:21:25Z

commit bd34ab62a3297bd7685da11b0cbe05ae4cd8b02c upstream. As part of hardware reconfig mac80211 tries to restore the station state to its values before the hardware reconfig, but it only goes to the last-state - 1. Fix this off-by-one error.

mac80211: fix ADDBA declined after suspend with wowlan

2012-06-09T15:36:08Z

commit 7b21aea04d084916ac4e0e8852dcc9cd60ec0d1d upstream. WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA is set while suspending but doesn't get cleared when resuming in case of wowlan. This causes further ADDBA requests received to be rejected. Fix it by clearing it in the wowlan path as well. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: fix AP mode EAP tx for VLAN stations

2012-04-30T18:40:05Z

EAP frames for stations in an AP VLAN are sent on the main AP interface to avoid race conditions wrt. moving stations. For that to work properly, sta_info_get_bss must be used instead of sta_info_get when sending EAP packets. Previously this was only done for cooked monitor injected packets, so this patch adds a check for tx->skb->protocol to the same place.

mac80211: fix logic error in ibss channel type check

2012-04-17T18:17:04Z

The broken check leads to rate control attempting to use HT40 while the driver is configured for HT20. This leads to interesting hardware issues. HT40 can only be used if the channel type is either HT40- or HT40+ and if the channel type of the cell matches the local type.
