2012-11-30mac80211: remove probe response temporary buffer allocationJohannes Berg
Instead of allocating a temporary buffer to build IEs build them right into the SKB. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-30mac80211: make ieee80211_build_preq_ies saferJohannes Berg
Instead of assuming 200 bytes are always enough for all the IEs we add, give the length of the buffer to the function and warn instead of overrunning. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-27mac80211: support P2P GO powersave configurationJohannes Berg
If the low-level driver wants to support P2P GO powersave configuration, it must set the cfg80211 flags and mac80211 will pass the parameters to it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-20mac80211: fix channel context suspend/reconfig handlingJohannes Berg
Sujith reported warnings with suspend/resume due to channel contexts. When I looked into it, I realised that the code was completely broken as it unassigned the channel contexts when suspending, which actually means they are destroyed. Eliad Peller then pointed out that we also need to remove the channel contexts from the driver. When I looked into this, I also noticed that the code isn't handling the virtual monitor interface correctly (if it exists.) Fix this by calling just the driver methods (if they are implemented) instead of using the channel context management code. Also add reconfiguration for the virtual monitor interface.

2012-11-19mac80211: check add_chanctx callback before use in ieee80211_reconfigArend van Spriel
During testing our mac80211 driver a fatal error occurred which was signalled to mac80211. Upon performing the reconfiguration of the device a WARN_ON was triggered. This warning checked the return value of drv_add_chanctx(). However, this returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the driver does not provide the callback. As the callback is optional better check it is defined before calling drv_add_chanctx(). Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-09mac80211: reassign channel contexts before stationsJohannes Berg
Since channel contexts are usually present before stations can be added to an interface, reassign before stations them in reconfiguration as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-09mac80211: clarify interface iteration and make it configurableJohannes Berg
During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it, but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable it. Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-09mac80211: call driver method when restart completesJohannes Berg
When the driver requests a restart (reconfiguration) it gets all the normal method calls, but can't really tell why they're happening. Call a new restart_complete op in the driver when the restart completes, so it could keep its own state about the restart and clear it there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-09mac80211: don't send null data packet when not associatedJohannes Berg
On resume or firmware recovery, mac80211 sends a null data packet to see if the AP is still around and hasn't disconnected us. However, it always does this even if it wasn't even connected before, leading to a warning in the new channel context code. Fix this by checking that it's associated.

2012-10-30mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interfaceJohannes Berg
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-26mac80211: add explicit AP/GO driver operationsJohannes Berg
Depending on the driver, a lot of setup may be necessary to start operating as an AP, some of which may fail. Add an explicit AP start driver method to make such failures easier to handle, and add an AP stop driver method for symmetry. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-24mac80211: use blacklist for duplicate IE checkJohannes Berg
Instead of the current whitelist which accepts duplicates only for the quiet and vendor IEs, use a blacklist of all IEs (that we currently parse) that can't be duplicated. This avoids detecting a beacon as corrupt in the future when new IEs are added that can be duplicated.

2012-10-17mac80211: track needed RX chains for channel contextsJohannes Berg
On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-17mac80211: use channel contextsJohannes Berg
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

2012-08-20mac80211: pass channel to ieee80211_send_probe_reqJohannes Berg
In multi-channel scenarios, the channel that we will transmit a probe request on isn't always the current channel (which will be NULL anyway) but will instead be the channel that the AP is on. Pass the channel to the ieee80211_send_probe_req() function so it can be used in the different scenarios. The scan code continues to pass the current channel, of course.

2012-08-20mac80211: support P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg
After cfg80211 got a P2P Device abstraction, add support to mac80211. Whether it really is supported or not will depend on whether or not the driver has support for it, but mac80211 needs to change to be able to support drivers that need a P2P Device. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-20cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg
In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

2012-07-31mac80211: fix current vs. operating channel in preq/beaconJohannes Berg
When sending probe requests, e.g. during software scanning, these will go out on the *current* channel, so their IEs need to be built from the current channel. At other times, e.g. for beacons or probe request templates, the IEs will be used on the *operating* channel and using the current channel instead might result in errors. Add the appropriate parameters to respect the difference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: use oper_channel in utils and configJohannes Berg
Using hw.conf.channel is wrong as it could be the temporary channel if any function like the beacon get function is called while scanning or during other temporary out-of-channel activities. Use oper_channel instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller
Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

2012-07-12mac80211: iterate the virtual monitor interfaceJohannes Berg

2012-07-12mac80211: fix invalid band deref building preq IEsArik Nemtsov
The function building probe-request IEs does not validate the band is supported before dereferencing it. This can result in a panic when all bands are traversed, as done during sched-scan start.

2012-07-06mac80211: fix crash with single-queue driversJohannes Berg
Larry (and some others I think) reported that with single-queue drivers mac80211 crashes when waking the queues. This happens because we allocate just a single queue for each virtual interface in case the driver doesn't have at least 4 queues, but the code stopping/waking the virtual interface queues wasn't taking this into account.

2012-07-06mac80211: always set in_reconfig=false on wakeupEliad Peller
If the interfaces were removed just before a restart work was started, open_count will be 0, and most of the reconfig work will be skipped, including the resetting of local->in_reconfig to false.

2012-06-06mac80211: add stations after AP start on reconfigArik Nemtsov
When performing a HW restart for an AP mode interface, add stations back only after the AP is beaconing. This mimics the normal flow of STA addition on AP. Some devices (wlcore) do not support adding stations before beaconing, so this has the added benefit of making recovery work for them.
