mac80211: fix race between connection monitor & suspend

2011-11-09T19:35:56+00:00

When the connection monitor timer fires right before suspend, the following will happen: timer fires -> monitor_work gets queued suspend calls ieee80211_sta_quiesce ieee80211_sta_quiesce: - deletes timer - cancels monitor_work synchronously, running it [note wrong order of these steps] monitor_work runs, re-arming the timer later, timer fires while system should be quiesced This causes a warning: WARNING: at net/mac80211/util.c:540 ieee80211_can_queue_work+0x35/0x40 [mac80211]() but is otherwise harmless. I'm not completely sure this is the scenario Thomas stumbled across, but it is the only way I can right now see the warning in a scenario like the one he reported.

mac80211: use min rate as basic rate for buggy APs

2011-11-07T18:19:13+00:00

Some buggy APs (and even P2P_GO) don't advertise their basic rates in the association response. In such case, use the min supported rate as the basic rate. Reported-by: Pontus Fuchs Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: disable powersave for broken APs

2011-11-02T19:23:13+00:00

Only AID values 1-2007 are valid, but some APs have been found to send random bogus values, in the reported case an AP that was sending the AID field value 0xffff, an AID of 0x3fff (16383). There isn't much we can do but disable powersave since there's no way it can work properly in this case.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

net: add moduleparam.h for users of module_param/MODULE_PARM_DESC

2011-10-31T23:30:29+00:00

These files were getting access to these two via the implicit presence of module.h everywhere. They aren't modules, so they don't need the full module.h inclusion though. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitor

2011-10-03T19:22:32+00:00

Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission. As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to retain the connection. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
