2011-02-25mac80211: support direct offchannel TX offloadJohannes Berg
For devices supported by iwlwifi sometimes off-channel transmissions need to be handled by the device completely. To support this mac80211 needs to pass the frame directly to the driver and not through the TX path as the driver needs the frame and channel information at the same time.

2011-02-25mac80211: better fix for conn_mon_timer running after disassociateStanislaw Gruszka
Is still possible to schedule conn_mon_timer after disassociate from ieee80211_sta_tx_notify() and ieee80211_offchannel_ps_disable(). Move disassociate check to ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor() to cover all these cases, and add unlikely since in most the time we call ieee80211_sta_reset_conn_monitor() when associated.

2011-02-25mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg
The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

2011-02-23mac80211: Fix a race on enabling power save.Vivek Natarajan
There is a race on sending a data frame before the tx completion of nullfunc frame for enabling power save. As the data quickly follows the nullfunc frame, the AP thinks that the station is out of power save and continues to send the frames. Whereas in the station, the nullfunc ack will be processed after the tx completion of data frame and mac80211 goes to powersave. Thus the power save state mismatch between the station and the AP causes some data loss and some applications fail because of that. This patch fixes this issue.

The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations.

This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work, and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is the current operating channel. * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL and is-scanning flags instead. * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured for the operating channel. * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.

2011-02-04mac80211: fix race between next beacon dtim and ieee80211_get_buffered_bcChristian Lamparter
On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]: Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance, there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6) which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*. The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic and of course, they might miss it completely. It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

2011-02-03mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIPJouni Malinen
TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for convenient use. The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211 netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only when associated and using TKIP.

2011-02-03mac80211: Remove obsolete TKIP flexibilityJouni Malinen
The TKIP implementation was originally prepared to be a bit more flexible in the way Michael MIC TX/RX keys are configured. However, we are now taking care of the TX/RX MIC key swapping in user space, so this code will not be needed. Similarly, there were some remaining WPA testing code that won't be used in their current form. Remove the unneeded extra complexity.

2011-02-03mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP modeArik Nemtsov
When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters out null-data packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames. Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit. In addition, expose ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to make low-level drivers capable of controlling PS-mode. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov <arik@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-02-03mac80211: do not calc frame duration when using HW rate-controlArik Nemtsov
When rate-control is performed in HW, we cannot calculate frame duration as we do not have the skb transmission rate in SW. ieee80211_tx_h_calculate_duration() should only be called when ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() has been called before to initialize data in skb->cb. This doesn't happen for drivers with HW rate-control. Fixes the following warning when operating in AP-mode in a driver with HW rate-control.

2011-02-02mac80211: fix TX status cookie in HW offload caseJohannes Berg
When the off-channel TX is done with remain-on-channel offloaded to hardware, the reported cookie is wrong as in that case we shouldn't use the SKB as the cookie but need to instead use the corresponding r-o-c cookie (XOR'ed with 2 to prevent API mismatches). Fix this by keeping track of the hw_roc_skb pointer just for the status processing and use the correct cookie to report in this case. We can't use the hw_roc_skb pointer itself because it is NULL'ed when the frame is transmitted to prevent it being used twice. This fixes a bug where the P2P state machine in the supplicant gets stuck because it never gets a correct result for its transmitted frame.
