wifi: cfg80211: fully move wiphy work to unbound workqueue

2024-06-21T12:38:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit e296c95eac655008d5a709b8cf54d0018da1c916 ] Previously I had moved the wiphy work to the unbound system workqueue, but missed that when it restarts and during resume it was still using the normal system workqueue. Fix that.

wifi: cfg80211: add flush functions for wiphy work

2023-11-20T10:58:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit 56cfb8ce1f7f6c4e5ca571a2ec0880e131cd0311 ] There may be sometimes reasons to actually run the work if it's pending, add flush functions for both regular and delayed wiphy work that will do this.

wifi: cfg80211: add a work abstraction with special semantics

2023-06-07T17:53:15+00:00

Add a work abstraction at the cfg80211 level that will always hold the wiphy_lock() for any work executed and therefore also can be canceled safely (without waiting) while holding that. This improves on what we do now as with the new wiphy works we don't have to worry about locking while cancelling them safely. Also, don't let such works run while the device is suspended, since they'll likely need to interact with the device. Flush them before suspend though. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

drivers: remove struct module * setting from struct class

2023-03-17T14:16:27+00:00

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded. This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going forward. Cc: "Rafael J.

driver core: class: make namespace and get_ownership take const *

2022-11-09T14:49:32+00:00

The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function signature. This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not, modify structures passed to them. Cc: "Rafael J.

cfg80211: shut down interfaces on failed resume

2021-06-09T14:09:20+00:00

If resume fails, we should shut down all interfaces as the hardware is probably dead. This was/is already done now in mac80211, but we need to change that due to locking issues, so move it here and do it without the wiphy lock held.

cfg80211: remove unused callback

2021-02-12T07:52:25+00:00

The ieee80211 class registers a callback which actually does nothing. Given that the callback is optional, and all its accesses are protected by a NULL check, remove it entirely.

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

2021-01-26T10:55:50+00:00

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock contention on that. Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get parallel calls for a single device). Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

cfg80211: track time using boottime

2018-06-29T07:49:28+00:00

The cfg80211 layer uses get_seconds() to read the current time in its supend handling. This function is deprecated because of the 32-bit time_t overflow, and it can cause unexpected behavior when the time changes due to settimeofday() calls or leap second updates. In many cases, we want to use monotonic time instead, however cfg80211 explicitly tracks the time spent in suspend, so this changes the driver over to use ktime_get_boottime_seconds(), which is slightly slower, but not used in a fastpath here.
