2013-03-25mac80211: fix remain-on-channel cancel crashJohannes Berg1-2/+4
If a ROC item is canceled just as it expires, the work struct may be scheduled while it is running (and waiting for the mutex). This results in it being run after being freed, which obviously crashes. To fix this don't free it when aborting is requested but instead mark it as "to be freed", which makes the work a no-op and allows freeing it outside.

2013-03-11mac80211: clean up key freeing a bitJohannes Berg1-3/+1
When a key is allocated but not really added, there's no need to go through the entire teardown process. Also, if adding a key fails, ieee80211_key_link() can take care of freeing it instead of the (only) caller. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-07mac80211: provide race-free 64-bit traffic countersJohannes Berg1-8/+15
Make the TX bytes/packets counters race-free by keeping them per AC so concurrent TX on queues can't cause lost or wrong updates. This works since each station belongs to a single interface. While at it also make the bytes counters 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211: flush keys when stopping APJohannes Berg1-1/+4
Since hostapd will remove keys this isn't usually an issue, but we shouldn't leak keys to the next BSS started on the same interface. For VLANs this also fixes a bug, keys that aren't removed would otherwise be leaked. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roamingJohannes Berg1-1/+1
During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must be called to avoid packet races, although typically no packets would be flowing during that time. To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys are removed (by half a second). This means the counter will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition. Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for which this optimisation was done to start with, for them the key removal itself will be expensive because it has to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately, during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary. (*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to 1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to 0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes to 1 first because they're added in software; when a key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: Allow drivers to differentiate between ROC typesIlan Peer1-6/+15

2013-03-06cfg80211: comprehensively check station changesJohannes Berg1-47/+78
The station change API isn't being checked properly before drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see what should be allowed and what not. In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could. While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation. To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-15cfg80211: Pass TDLS peer's QoS/HT/VHT information during set_stationJouni Malinen1-2/+4
The information of the peer's capabilities is required for the driver to perform TDLS Peer UAPSD operations. This information of the peer is passed by the supplicant using NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION command. This commit enhances the function nl80211_set_station to pass this information of the peer to the driver in case this command is used with the TDLS peer STA. In addition, make the HT/VHT capability configuration handled more consistently for other STA cases (reject both instead of just HT).

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-2/+1
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

2013-02-12mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scansSeth Forshee1-1/+2
Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-11mac80211: explicitly copy channels to VLANs where neededJohannes Berg1-0/+2
Currently the code assigns channel contexts to VLANs (for use by the TX/RX code) when the AP master gets its channel context assigned. This works fine, but in the upcoming radar detection work the VLANs don't require a channel context (during radar detection) and assigning one to them anyway causes issues with locking and also inconsistencies -- a VLAN interface that is added before radar detection would get the channel context, while one added during it wouldn't. Fix these issues moving the channel context copying to a new explicit operation that will not be used in the radar detection code.

2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch1-1/+26
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

2013-01-16mac80211: fix FT roamingJohannes Berg1-1/+11
During FT roaming, wpa_supplicant attempts to set the key before association. This used to be rejected, but as a side effect of my commit 66e67e418908442389d3a9e ("mac80211: redesign auth/assoc") the key was accepted causing hardware crypto to not be used for it as the station isn't added to the driver yet. It would be possible to accept the key and then add it to the driver when the station has been added. However, this may run into issues with drivers using the state- based station adding if they accept the key only after association like it used to be. For now, revert to the behaviour from before the auth and assoc change.

2013-01-03nl80211/mac80211: support full station state in AP modeJohannes Berg1-44/+71
Today, stations are added already associated. That is inefficient if, for example, the driver has no room for stations any more because then the station will go through the entire auth/assoc handshake, only to be kicked out afterwards. To address this a bit better, at least with drivers using the new station state callback, allow hostapd to add stations in unauthenticated mode, just after receiving the AUTH frame, before even replying. Thus if there's no more space at that point, it can send a negative auth frame back. It still needs to handle later state transition errors though, of course.

The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.
