2013-07-31cfg80211: fix P2P GO interface teardownJohannes Berg
When a P2P GO interface goes down, cfg80211 doesn't properly tear it down, leading to warnings later. Add the GO interface type to the enumeration to tear it down like AP interfaces. Otherwise, we leave it pending and mac80211's state can get very confused, leading to warnings later.

2013-07-16cfg80211/nl80211: Add packet coalesce supportAmitkumar Karwar
In most cases, host that receives IPv4 and IPv6 multicast/broadcast packets does not do anything with these packets. Therefore the reception of these unwanted packets causes unnecessary processing and power consumption. Packet coalesce feature helps to reduce number of received interrupts to host by buffering these packets in firmware/hardware for some predefined time. Received interrupt will be generated when one of the following events occur. a) Expiration of hardware timer whose expiration time is set to maximum coalescing delay of matching coalesce rule. b) Coalescing buffer in hardware reaches it's limit. c) Packet doesn't match any of the configured coalesce rules. This patch adds set/get configuration support for packet coalesce. User needs to configure following parameters for creating a coalesce rule. a) Maximum coalescing delay b) List of packet patterns which needs to be matched c) Condition for coalescence. pattern 'match' or 'no match' Multiple such rules can be created. This feature needs to be advertised during driver initialization. Drivers are supposed to do required firmware/hardware settings based on user configuration.

2013-06-04cfg80211: make wiphy index start at 0 againJohannes Berg
The change to use atomic_inc_return() for assigning the wiphy index made the first wiphy index 1 instead of 0. This is fine, but we all habitually type "phy0" when we're testing, so make it go back to 0 instead of 1 by subtracting 1 from the index. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-06-04cfg80211: fix potential deadlock regressionJohannes Berg
My big locking cleanups caused a problem by registering the rfkill instance with the RTNL held, while the callback also acquires the RTNL. This potentially causes a deadlock since the two locks used (rfkill mutex and RTNL) can be acquired in two different orders. Fix this by (un)registering rfkill without holding the RTNL. This needs to be done after the device struct is registered, but that can also be done w/o holding the RTNL. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-06-04cfg80211: separate internal SME implementationJohannes Berg
The current internal SME implementation in cfg80211 is very mixed up with the MLME handling, which has been causing issues for a long time. There are three things that the implementation has to provide: * a basic SME implementation for nl80211's connect() call (for drivers implementing auth/assoc, which is really just mac80211) and wireless extensions * MLME events for the userspace SME * SME events (connected, disconnected etc.) for all different SME implementation possibilities (driver, cfg80211 and userspace) To achieve these goals it isn't necessary to track the software SME's connection status outside of it's state (which is the part that caused many issues.) Instead, track it only in the SME data (wdev->conn) and in the general case only track whether the wdev is connected or not (via wdev->current_bss.) Also separate the internal implementation to not have callbacks from the SME events, but rather call it from the API functions that the driver (or rather mac80211) calls. This separates the code better. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-05-27cfg80211: make WoWLAN configuration available to driversJohannes Berg
Make the current WoWLAN configuration available to drivers at runtime. This isn't really useful for the normal WoWLAN behaviour and accessing it can also be racy, but drivers may use it for testing the WoWLAN device behaviour while the host stays up & running to observe the device.

2013-05-25cfg80211: remove some locked wrappers from sme APIJohannes Berg

2013-05-25cfg80211: simplify and correct P2P-Device scan checkJohannes Berg
If the driver for some reason successfully finishes scanning while in p2p_stop_device(), cfg80211 will still set it to aborted. Simplify this code using the new 'notified' value and only mark it aborted in case the driver didn't notify cfg80211 at all (in which case we also leak the request to not crash, this is a driver bug.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-05-25cfg80211: vastly simplify lockingJohannes Berg
Virtually all code paths in cfg80211 already (need to) hold the RTNL. As such, there's little point in having another four mutexes for various parts of the code, they just cause lock ordering issues (and much of the time, the RTNL and a few of the others need thus be held.) Simplify all this by getting rid of the extra four mutexes and just use the RTNL throughout. Only a few code changes were needed to do this and we can get rid of a work struct for bonus points.

Also, in __cfg80211_disconnect(), if the cfg80211 SME isn't used, __cfg80211_disconnected() may still need to be called (depending on the current state) so that the SME state gets cleared.

2013-03-24cfg80211: always check for scan end on P2P deviceJohannes Berg
If a P2P device wdev is removed while it has a scan, then the scan completion might crash later as it is already freed by that time. To avoid the crash always check the scan completion when the P2P device is being removed for some reason. If the driver already canceled it, don't want and free it, otherwise warn and leak it to avoid later crashes. In order to do this, locking needs to be changed away from the rdev mutex (which can't always be guaranteed). For now, use the sched_scan_mtx instead, I'll rename it to just scan_mtx in a later patch. 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.
