mac80211: don't advertise NL80211_FEATURE_FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE

2015-11-17T14:48:50+00:00

For now, this feature doesn't actually work. To avoid shipping a kernel that has it enabled but where it can't be used disable it for now - we can re-enable it when it's fixed. This partially reverts 44674d9c2267 ("mac80211: advertise support for full station state in AP mode"). Cc: Ayala Beker Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: use freezable workqueue for restart work

2015-11-03T09:41:01+00:00

Requesting hw restart during suspend might result in the restart work being executed after mac80211 and the hw are suspended. Solve the race by simply scheduling the restart work on a freezable workqueue. Note that there can be some cases of reconfiguration on resume (besides the hardware restart): * wowlan is not configured - All the interfaces removed were removed on suspend, and drv_stop() was called. At this point the driver shouldn't expect for hw_restart anyway, so we can simply cancel it (on resume). * wowlan is configured, drv_resume() == 1 There is no definitive expected behavior in this case, as each driver might have different expectations (e.g. setting some flags on suspend/restart vs. not handling spurious recovery). For now, simply let the hw_restart work run again after resume, and hope the driver will handle it well (or at least initiate another hw restart).

mac80211: remove cfg.h

2015-10-14T16:36:43+00:00

The file contains just a single declaration that can easily move to another file - remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove PM-QoS listener

2015-10-14T16:04:08+00:00

As this API has never really seen any use and most drivers don't ever use the value derived from it, remove it. Change the only driver using it (rt2x00) to simply use the DTIM period instead of the "max sleep" time. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: advertise support for full station state in AP mode

2015-09-29T13:56:51+00:00

This enables adding stations in unauthenticated mode, just after receiving the first authentication frame; which in turn allows sending a negative authentication reply if the station cannot be added. In addition init rate control for unassociated station only when it becomes associated, prior to that low rates will be used. Signed-off-by: Ayala Beker Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: TDLS: handle chan-switch in RTNL locked work

2015-07-17T13:40:15+00:00

Move TDLS channel-switch Rx handling into an RTNL locked work. This is required to add proper regulatory checking to incoming channel-switch requests. Queue incoming requests in a dedicated skb queue and handle the request in a device-specific work to avoid deadlocking on interface removal.

mac80211: don't store napi struct

2015-07-17T13:37:59+00:00

When introducing multiple RX queues, a single NAPI struct will not be sufficient. Instead of trying to store multiple, simply change the API to have the NAPI struct passed to the RX function. This of course means that drivers using rx_irqsafe() cannot use NAPI, but that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of all drivers are currently using it at all. While at it, we can now remove the IEEE80211_RX_REORDER_TIMER flag again since this code path cannot have a napi struct anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruption

2015-05-29T11:04:46+00:00

There was a possible race between ieee80211_reconfig() and ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could result in inability to transmit data if driver crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared. This race was probably never seen in the wild because a device driver would have to crash AND recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely. I was able to prove this race exists after changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below 0. This was harmless but other drivers which actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs appropriately anymore.

mac80211: fix memory leak

2015-05-20T09:37:38+00:00

My recent change here introduced a possible memory leak if the driver registers an invalid cipher schemes. This won't really happen in practice, but fix the leak nonetheless. Fixes: e3a55b5399d55 ("mac80211: validate cipher scheme PN length better") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
