2013-02-18mac80211: fix harmless station flush warningJohannes Berg1-2/+3
If an interface is set down while authenticating or associating, there's a station entry that will be removed by the flushing in do_stop() and that will cause a warning. It's otherwise harmless, but avoid the warning by calling ieee80211_mgd_stop() first. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15mac80211: enable vif.cab_queue for meshBob Copeland1-1/+2
Since mesh powersaving was added, pending bcast/mcast frames may go out the CAB queue now. Unfortunately, the queue was only set up for AP mode, so we would try to tx on the IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE. Allow cab_queue for mesh interfaces as well. Fixes the following warning (or crash without MAC80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG): WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1223 __ieee80211_tx+0x162/0x35f [mac80211]() Modules linked in: mac80211_hwsim mac80211 cfg80211 [...] Pid: 3085, comm: avahi-daemon Tainted: G W 3.8.0-rc1+ #377 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81045c20>] warn_slowpath_common+0x83/0x9c [<ffffffff81045c53>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c [<ffffffffa083aef0>] __ieee80211_tx+0x162/0x35f [mac80211] [<ffffffffa083cb1d>] ieee80211_tx+0xd3/0xf9 [mac80211] [<ffffffffa083cc0f>] ieee80211_xmit+0xcc/0xd5 [mac80211] [<ffffffffa083db59>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0xc53/0xcd8 [mac80211] [<ffffffff81319acd>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x259/0x3ce [<ffffffff81333d6b>] sch_direct_xmit+0x74/0x17d [<ffffffff8131a0b1>] dev_queue_xmit+0x230/0x414 [<ffffffff8134877a>] ip_finish_output2+0x348/0x3aa [<ffffffff81349029>] ip_finish_output+0x6c/0x71 [<ffffffff81349046>] NF_HOOK_COND.constprop.44+0x18/0x58 [<ffffffff8134a03a>] ip_mc_output+0x134/0x13c [<ffffffff8134835a>] dst_output+0x18/0x1c [<ffffffff81349a24>] ip_local_out+0x20/0x24 [<ffffffff8134a8cf>] ip_send_skb+0x16/0x3c [<ffffffff8136bfba>] udp_send_skb+0x254/0x2b9 [<ffffffff8136c85e>] udp_sendmsg+0x5a8/0x7d4 Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <bob@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-11mac80211: simplify idle handlingJohannes Berg1-82/+12

2013-02-11mac80211: remove IEEE80211_HW_SCAN_WHILE_IDLEJohannes Berg1-6/+2
There are only a few drivers that use HW scan, and all of those don't need a non-idle transition before starting the scan -- some don't even care about idle at all.

Add debugfs driver callbacks so drivers can add debugfs entries for interfaces. Note that they _must_ remove the entries again as add/remove in the driver doesn't correspond to add/remove in debugfs; the former is up/down while the latter is netdev create/destroy.

Instead of checking every time bss_info_changed is called, assign the pointer once depending on the interface type and then leave it untouched until the interface type is changed.

2013-01-03mac80211: optimise AP stop RCU handlingJohannes Berg1-5/+8
If there are VLANs, stopping an AP is inefficient as it calls rcu_barrier() once for each interface (the VLANs and the AP itself). Optimise this by moving rcu_barrier() out of the station cleanups and calling it only once for all interfaces combined. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: optimise roaming time againJohannes Berg1-5/+10

2013-01-03mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modesJohannes Berg1-12/+16
Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae5b, intended to speed up roaming by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved some code into that work item that will still call into the driver at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the AP or mesh has been stopped. To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate patch. Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down, due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be reverted.

2012-12-06mac80211: cancel work instead of waiting for it to do nothingJohannes Berg1-1/+1
If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped, we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg1-3/+2
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-30mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interfaceJohannes Berg1-0/+38
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-19mac80211: make client powersave independent of interface typeMarco Porsch1-3/+3
This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or ad-hoc powersave clients. The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure that can be embedded into any interface type. The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy extension with different interface types. For example with: + } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) { + ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps; Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they were obviously not used. The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP interface with one client in PS mode.

2012-10-17mac80211: track needed RX chains for channel contextsJohannes Berg1-0/+10
On each channel that the device is operating on, it may need to listen using one or more chains depending on the SMPS settings of the interfaces using it. The previous channel context changes completely removed this ability (before, it was available as the SMPS mode). Add per-context tracking of the required static and dynamic RX chains and notify the driver on changes. To achieve this, track the chains and SMPS mode used on each virtual interface and update the channel context whenever this changes. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-17mac80211: use channel contextsJohannes Berg1-16/+12
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

Some devices like the current iwlwifi implementation require that the P2P interface address match the P2P Device address (only one P2P interface is supported.)

2012-08-20cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg1-0/+3
In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

2012-06-06mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channelJohannes Berg1-19/+4
Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.

2012-06-06mac80211: do remain-on-channel while idleJohannes Berg1-10/+7
The IDLE handling in HW off-channel is broken right now since we turn off IDLE only when the off-channel period already started. Therefore, all drivers that use it today (only iwlwifi!) must support off-channel while idle, so playing with idle isn't needed at all. Off-channel in general, since it's no longer used for authentication/association, shouldn't affect PS, so also remove that logic. Also document a small caveat for reporting TX status from off-channel frames in HW remain-on-channel. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
