cfg80211: add cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped_rtnl

2014-05-05T13:14:57Z

Add locked-version for cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped. This is used for some users that might want to call it when rtnl is already locked. Fixes: d43c6b6 ("mac80211: reschedule sched scan after HW restart") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (3.14+) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: free sme on connection failures

2014-05-05T12:59:00Z

cfg80211 is notified about connection failures by __cfg80211_connect_result() call. However, this function currently does not free cfg80211 sme. This results in hanging connection attempts in some cases e.g. when mac80211 authentication attempt is denied, we have this function call: ieee80211_rx_mgmt_auth() -> cfg80211_rx_mlme_mgmt() -> cfg80211_process_auth() -> cfg80211_sme_rx_auth() -> __cfg80211_connect_result() but cfg80211_sme_free() is never get called.

cfg80211: remove macro ASSERT_RDEV_LOCK(rdev)

2014-03-19T20:29:58Z

Macro ASSERT_RDEV_LOCK(rdev) is equal to ASSERT_RTNL(), so replace it with ASSERT_RTNL() and remove it. Signed-off-by: Zhao, Gang Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: remove unnecessary check

2014-03-19T20:29:57Z

RCU pointer bss->pub.beacon_ies is checked before in previous statement: if (rcu_access_pointer(bss->pub.beacon_ies)) continue; There is no need to check it twice(and in the wrong way :) ). Signed-off-by: Zhao, Gang Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211/mac80211: ignore signal if the frame was heard on wrong channel

2014-03-19T20:29:56Z

On 2.4Ghz band, the channels overlap since the delta between different channels is 5Mhz while the width of the receiver is 20Mhz (at least). This means that we can hear beacons or probe responses from adjacent channels. These frames will have a significant lower RSSI which will feed all kinds of logic with inaccurate data. An obvious example is the roaming algorithm that will think our AP is getting weak and will try to move to another AP. In order to avoid this, update the signal only if the frame has been heard on the same channel as the one advertised by the AP in its DS / HT IEs. We refrain from updating the values only if the AP is already in the BSS list so that we will still have a valid (but inaccurate) value if the AP was heard on an adjacent channel only. To achieve this, stop taking the channel from DS / HT IEs in mac80211. The DS / HT IEs is taken into account to discard the frame if it was received on a disabled channel. This can happen due to the same phenomenon: the frame is sent on channel 12, but heard on channel 11 while channel 12 can be disabled on certain devices. Since this check is done in cfg80211, stop even checking this in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach [remove unused rx_freq variable] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: make __cfg80211_join_ibss() static

2014-03-19T20:29:56Z

Function __cfg80211_join_ibss() is only used in net/wireless/ibss.c, so make it static. Signed-off-by: Zhao, Gang Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
