2012-11-09mac80211: don't send null data packet when not associatedJohannes Berg1-0/+2
On resume or firmware recovery, mac80211 sends a null data packet to see if the AP is still around and hasn't disconnected us. However, it always does this even if it wasn't even connected before, leading to a warning in the new channel context code. Fix this by checking that it's associated.

2012-10-24mac80211: use blacklist for duplicate IE checkJohannes Berg1-7/+35
Instead of the current whitelist which accepts duplicates only for the quiet and vendor IEs, use a blacklist of all IEs (that we currently parse) that can't be duplicated. This avoids detecting a beacon as corrupt in the future when new IEs are added that can be duplicated.

2012-08-20mac80211: pass channel to ieee80211_send_probe_reqJohannes Berg1-3/+3
In multi-channel scenarios, the channel that we will transmit a probe request on isn't always the current channel (which will be NULL anyway) but will instead be the channel that the AP is on. Pass the channel to the ieee80211_send_probe_req() function so it can be used in the different scenarios. The scan code continues to pass the current channel, of course.

2012-08-20mac80211: support P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg1-2/+12
After cfg80211 got a P2P Device abstraction, add support to mac80211. Whether it really is supported or not will depend on whether or not the driver has support for it, but mac80211 needs to change to be able to support drivers that need a P2P Device.

2012-08-20cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg1-0/+2
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.

2012-07-31mac80211: fix current vs. operating channel in preq/beaconJohannes Berg1-12/+15
When sending probe requests, e.g. during software scanning, these will go out on the *current* channel, so their IEs need to be built from the current channel. At other times, e.g. for beacons or probe request templates, the IEs will be used on the *operating* channel and using the current channel instead might result in errors. Add the appropriate parameters to respect the difference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-31mac80211: use oper_channel in utils and configJohannes Berg1-2/+2

2012-07-31mac80211: add PS flag to bss_confEliad Peller1-1/+2
Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense. Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability to indicate ps change along with other changes (e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while the sta is already disconnected.) Keep the current per-device notifications, and add parallel per-vif notifications. In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps configuration is determined only by the user configuration (enable/disable) and the connection state, and is not affected by other vifs state and (temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations (unlike per-device ps).

Larry (and some others I think) reported that with single-queue drivers mac80211 crashes when waking the queues. This happens because we allocate just a single queue for each virtual interface in case the driver doesn't have at least 4 queues, but the code stopping/waking the virtual interface queues wasn't taking this into account.

2012-04-12mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg1-10/+38
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue is full and then try to send an off-channel frame the frame will never go out. This will become worse when we support multi-channel since then a queue on one channel might be full, but we have to stop the software queue for all channels. That is obviously not desirable. To address this problem allow drivers to register more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue the corresponding AC software queues on the correct interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally, there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This allows drivers to manage software queues closer to how the hardware works. Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues. This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it as needed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-12mac80211: add explicit monitor interface if neededJohannes Berg1-0/+10
The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do will break pure injection unless we handle monitor interfaces explicitly. One possible option would be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API since we already need to have queue assignments handled per virtual interface. So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor interface that is added whenever all active vifs are monitors. We could also use the state of one of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would be complicated, so allocate separate state.

2012-03-07mac80211: Filter duplicate IE idsPaul Stewart1-2/+35
mac80211 is lenient with respect to reception of corrupted beacons. Even if the frame is corrupted as a whole, the available IE elements are still passed back and accepted, sometimes replacing legitimate data. It is unknown to what extent this "feature" is made use of, but it is clear that in some cases, this is detrimental. One such case is reported in http://crosbug.com/26832 where an AP corrupts its beacons but not its probe responses. One approach would be to completely reject frames with invaid data (for example, if the last tag extends beyond the end of the enclosing PDU). The enclosed approach is much more conservative: we simply prevent later IEs from overwriting the state from previous ones. This approach hopes that there might be some salient data in the IE stream before the corruption, and seeks to at least prevent that data from being overwritten. This approach will fix the case above. Further, we flag element structures that contain data we think might be corrupted, so that as we fill the mac80211 BSS structure, we try not to replace data from an un-corrupted probe response with that of a corrupted beacon, for example. Short of any statistics gathering in the various forms of AP breakage, it's not possible to ascertain the side effects of more stringent discarding of data.

To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state.
