2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-03mac80211: Fix HT rate control configurationSujith1-1/+2
Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update() notification to the driver. This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always. Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

2010-03-02mac80211: Fix reassociation processing (within ESS roaming)Jouni Malinen1-2/+14
Commit e1dd33f60ced091114e4aacf141e0d03b88d3e13 changed cfg80211 to allow association commands while in associated state to enable support for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the reassociation case to clear internal state with the BSS that was in use previously. This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation command and clean the association state with the previous BSS. This fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with -Dnl80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-02-16cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen1-0/+35
This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

2010-02-09mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepJohannes Berg1-13/+1
Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

To detect incoming 4-addr stations, hostapd needs to receive a 4-addr data frame from the remote station, so that it can create the AP VLAN for it. With this patch, the mlme code emits a 4-addr nullfunc frame immediately after assoc. On the AP side it also drops 4-addr nullfunc frames to the cooked monitor mode interface, if the interface hasn't been fully set up to receive 4-addr data frames yet.

2009-12-29mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg1-809/+147
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

2009-12-29mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth stateJohannes Berg1-101/+72
mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by keeping it on the work list. That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

It's useful to know the MAC address when being disassociated; fix a typo (missing colon) and move some messages so we get them only when they are actually taking effect. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-08-28mac80211: Check pending scan request after having processed mgd workJouni Malinen1-16/+12
When the queued management work items are processed in ieee80211_sta_work() an item could be removed. This could change the anybusy from true to false, so we better check whether we can start a new scan only after having processed the pending work first.

2009-08-14mac80211: stay authenticated after disassocJohannes Berg1-9/+22
After being disassociated by the AP, mac80211 currently reports this to cfg80211, and then goes to delete the association. That's fine, but cfg80211 assumes that it's still authenticated, however, mac80211 throws away all state. This fixes mac80211 to keep track of the authentication in that case so that cfg80211 can request a deauth or new association properly.

2009-08-05mac80211: Increase timeouts for station pollingMaxim Levitsky1-2/+2
Do a probe request every 30 seconds, and wait for probe response, half a second This should lower the traffic that card sends, thus save power Wainting longer for response makes probe more robust against 'slow' access points Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Tested-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-08-05mac80211: Retry probe request few timesMaxim Levitsky1-12/+30
Retry 5 times (chosen arbitary ), before assuming that station is out of range. Fixes frequent disassociations while connected to weak, and sometimes even strong access points.
