2013-03-06cfg80211: comprehensively check station changesJohannes Berg
The station change API isn't being checked properly before drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see what should be allowed and what not. In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could. While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation. To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configurationJohannes Berg
Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26cfg80211: pass a channel definition structJohannes Berg
Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change.

2012-11-26cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel typeJohannes Berg
As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

2012-10-30cfg80211: allow per interface TX power settingJohannes Berg
The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't make much sense any more. Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

2012-10-24ath6kl: Fix inactivity timeout for AR6004Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan

2012-10-24ath6kl: Add support to detect fw error through heart beatVasanthakumar Thiagarajan
This patch adds support to detect fw error condition by sending periodic message (heart beat challenge) to firmware. Upon reception of the message, fw would send a response event to driver. When there are no reponses from fw for about 5 cmd driver would trigger the recovery logic assuming that fw has gone into an error state. Capable fw will advertise this capability through ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_HEART_BEAT_POLL bit. This feature is disabled by default, can be enabled through a modparam (heart_beat_poll). This modparam also confiures the polling interval in msecs. Signed-off-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vthiagar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

2012-10-24ath6kl: rework scheduled scanThomas Pedersen
This patch reflects changes in the firmware scheduled scan implementation to behave better in cases with multiple concurrent vifs. Major changes: - scheduled scan filters and state are now programmed per-vif. - decouple scheduled scan from host sleep. To maintain graceful failure with old firmwares, a new firmware capability bit is introduced: ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_SCHED_SCAN_V2. ath6kl simply won't advertise scheduled scan to cfg80211 if the SCHED_SCAN_V2 is not supported. Since firmwares from here on out won't support the previous implicit API for scheduled scan (set WoW filters and host sleep), bump the firmware API to protect old drivers. Unfortunately, due to firmware RAM constraints ath6kl still cannot expect a scan complete event at the end of a scheduled scan results cycle, so the sched_scan_timer is retained.

2012-10-24ath6kl: reconfigure RSN capabilities when restarting APThomas Pedersen
If the firmware decides to initiate a channel switch on an AP vif running an RSN BSS, reconfigure the saved RSN IE capabilities as well. Fixes a bug where the beacon and 4-way handshake would have a capability mismatch after a channel switch, since the firmware apparently clears these on an AP disconnect.

2012-10-24ath6kl: configure wow filters per-vifThomas Pedersen
Only WoW filters for the first vif were being set, causing failures to wake up on any concurrent connected vifs. Handle all per-vif suspend and resume tasks. Since cfg80211 issues user wow filters on a per-wiphy basis, set any custom filters on all connected vifs. Starting WoW in firmware and setting host sleep mode is still handled on a global per-phy level. The first vif is always used for bookkeeping regardless of whether it is connected or not. WoW is cancelled if no connected vifs are found. No firmware capability bits or API bump is needed for this patch, as setting filters for vifs with index > 0 will simply overwrite the index 0 filters in the current implementation. While not correct, this is identical to the existing behavior. kvalo: fix a checkpatch warning in ath6kl_wow_resume() Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <c_tpeder@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

2012-10-18wireless: drivers: make use of WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFICArend van Spriel
