mac80211: synchronize driver rx queues before removing a station

2016-04-05T08:56:34+00:00

Some devices, like iwlwifi, have RSS queues. This may cause a situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and results in station removal while there are prior RX frames that were still not processed in other queues. When they will be processed the station will be gone, and the frames will be dropped. Add a synchronization interface to avoid that. When driver returns from the synchronization mac80211 may remove the station. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: pass block ack session timeout to to driver

2016-01-14T10:13:17+00:00

Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session. Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this parameter. Seeing that there are now too many arguments for the drv_ampdu_action() function, wrap them inside a structure. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: document sleep requirements for channel context ops

2015-11-03T10:15:48+00:00

Channel context driver operations can sleep, so add might_sleep() and document this. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya T K Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: call drv_stop only if driver is started

2015-11-03T09:41:12+00:00

If drv_start() fails during hw_restart, all the running interfaces are being closed/stopped, which results in drv_stop() being called, although the driver was never started successfully. This might cause drivers to perform operations on uninitialized memory (as they assume it was initialized on drv_start) Consider the local->started flag, and call the driver's stop() op only if drv_start() succeeded before. Move drv_start() and drv_stop() to driver-ops.c, as they are no longer simple wrappers. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
