2013-01-17mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletionJohannes Berg
commit a56f992cdabc63f56b4b142885deebebf936ff76 upstream. This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

2013-01-17mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modesJohannes Berg
commit 97f97b1f5fe0878b35c8e314f98591771696321b upstream. Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae5b, intended to speed up roaming by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved some code into that work item that will still call into the driver at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the AP or mesh has been stopped. To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate patch. Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down, due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be reverted.

2013-01-17mac80211: fix ibss scanningStanislaw Gruszka
commit 34bcf71502413f8903ade93746f2d0f04b937a78 upstream. Do not scan on no-IBSS and disabled channels in IBSS mode. Doing this can trigger Microcode errors on iwlwifi and iwlegacy drivers. Also rename ieee80211_request_internal_scan() function since it is only used in IBSS mode and simplify calling it from ieee80211_sta_find_ibss().

2013-01-17mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAILStanislaw Gruszka
commit 5b632fe85ec82e5c43740b52e74c66df50a37db3 upstream. Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter commit caused yet another problem reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22 After long discussion in this thread: http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both mentioned earlier commits. To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it, introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before the commit.

2012-11-26mac80211: fix remain-on-channel (non-)cancellingJohannes Berg
Felix Liao reported that when an interface is set DOWN while another interface is executing a ROC, the warning in ieee80211_start_next_roc() (about the first item on the list having started already) triggers. This is because ieee80211_roc_purge() calls it even if it never actually changed the list of ROC items. To fix this, simply remove the function call. If it is needed then it will be done by the ieee80211_sw_roc_work() function when the ROC item that is being removed while active is cleaned up.

2012-10-26mac80211: make sure data is accessible in EAPOL checkJohannes Berg

2012-10-01mac80211: Fix FC masking in BIP AAD generationJouni Malinen
The bits used in the mask were off-by-one and ended up masking PwrMgt, MoreData, Protected fields instead of Retry, PwrMgt, MoreData. Fix this and to mask the correct fields. While doing so, convert the code to mask the full FC using IEEE80211_FCTL_* defines similarly to how CCMP AAD is built. Since BIP is used only with broadcast/multicast management frames, the Retry field is always 0 in these frames. The Protected field is also zero to maintain backwards compatibility. As such, the incorrect mask here does not really cause any problems for valid frames. In theory, an invalid BIP frame with Retry or Protected field set to 1 could be rejected because of BIP validation. However, no such frame should show up with standard compliant implementations, so this does not cause problems in normal BIP use.

2012-09-14mac80211: handle power constraint/country IE betterJohannes Berg
Currently, mac80211 uses the power constraint IE, and reduces the regulatory max TX power by it. This can cause issues if the AP is advertising a large power constraint value matching a high TX power in its country IE, for example in this case: ... Country: US Environment: Indoor/Outdoor ... Channels [157 - 157] @ 30 dBm ... Power constraint: 13 dB ... What happened here is that our local regulatory TX power is 15 dBm, and gets reduced by 13 dB so we end up with only 2 dBm effective TX power, which is way too low. Instead, handle the country IE/power constraint IE combined and restrict our TX power to the max of the regulatory power and the maximum power advertised by the AP, in this case 17 dBm (= 30 dBm - 13 dB). Also print a message when this happens to let the user know and help us debug issues with it. Reported-by: Carl A. Cook <CACook@quantum-equities.com> Tested-by: Carl A.
