2010-12-07cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg12-106/+322
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.

2010-12-06mac80211: speed up AP probing using nullfunc framesFelix Fietkau3-35/+79
If the nullfunc frame used to probe the AP was not acked, there is no point in waiting for the probe timeout, so advance to the next try (or disconnect) immediately. If we do reach the probe timeout without having received a tx status, the connection is probably really bad and worth disconnecting.

2010-12-06mac80211: Update last_tx_rate only for data framesHelmut Schaa1-3/+4
The last_tx_rate field was also updated for non-data frames that are often sent with a lower rate (for example management frames at 1 Mbps). This is confusing when the data rate is actually much higher. Hence, only update the last_tx_rate field with tx rate information gathered from last data frames. If the rate control algorithm filled in txrc.reported_rate we don't need to verify this information.

2010-12-02Bluetooth: Automate remote name requestsJohan Hedberg1-18/+54
In Bluetooth there are no automatic updates of remote device names when they get changed on the remote side. Instead, it is a good idea to do a manual name request when a new connection gets created (for whatever reason) since at this point it is very cheap (no costly baseband connection creation needed just for the sake of the name request). So far userspace has been responsible for this extra name request but tighter control is needed in order not to flood Bluetooth controllers with two many commands during connection creation. It has been shown that some controllers simply fail to function correctly if they get too many (almost) simultaneous commands during connection creation. The simplest way to acheive better control of these commands is to move their sending completely to the kernel side. This patch inserts name requests into the sequence of events that the kernel performs during connection creation. It does this after the remote features have been successfully requested and before any pending authentication requests are performed. The code will work sub-optimally with userspace versions that still do the name requesting themselves (it shouldn't break anything though) so it is recommended to combine this with a userspace software version that doesn't have automated name requests.

Remove a superfluous ieee80211_is_data check as that was checked a few lines before already and we wont't get here for non-data frames at all. Second, the frame was already converted to 802.3 header format and reading the fc and addr1 fields was only possible because the 802.3 header is short enough and didn't overwrite the relevant parts of the 802.11 header. Make the code more obvious by checking the ethernet header's h_dest field. Furthermore reorder the conditions to reduce the number of checks when dynamic powersave is not needed (AP mode for example).

(the correct SA/TA would be: 00:1f:31:f8:64:ff) Since the AP does not know from where the frames come, it generates a DEAUTH response for the (invalid) mcast address. This mcast deauth frame then passes through all filters and tricks the stack into thinking that the AP brutally kicked us!

2010-11-29mac80211: Fix frame injection using non-AP vifJouni Malinen1-1/+6
In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases (e.g., finding the station entry and keys for encryption), mac80211 needs to find the correct sdata entry. This works when the main vif is in AP mode, but commit a2c1e3dad516618cb0fbfb1a62c36d0b0744573a broke this particular use case for station main vif. While this type of injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix it. Do this by changing the monitor vif sdata selection to allow station vif to be selected instead of limiting it to just AP vifs. We still need to skip some iftypes to avoid selecting unsuitable vif for injection. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-11-22mac80211: Disable hw crypto for GTKs on AP VLAN interfacesHelmut Schaa1-1/+8
When using AP VLAN interfaces, each VLAN interface should be in its own broadcast domain. Hostapd achieves this by assigning different GTKs to different AP VLAN interfaces. However, mac80211 drivers are not aware of AP VLAN interfaces and as such mac80211 sends the GTK to the driver in the context of the base AP mode interface. This causes problems when multiple AP VLAN interfaces are used since the driver will use the same key slot for the different GTKs (there's no way for the driver to distinguish the different GTKs from different AP VLAN interfaces). Thus, only the clients associated to one AP VLAN interface (the one that was created last) can actually use broadcast traffic. Fix this by not programming any GTKs for AP VLAN interfaces into the hw but fall back to using software crypto. The GTK for the underlying AP interface is still sent to the driver. That means, broadcast traffic to stations associated to an AP VLAN interface is encrypted in software whereas broadcast traffic to stations associated to the non-VLAN AP interface is encrypted in hardware.

2010-11-22cfg80211: Fix regulatory bug with multiple cards and delaysLuis R. Rodriguez1-9/+43
When two cards are connected with the same regulatory domain if CRDA had a delayed response then cfg80211's own set regulatory domain would still be the world regulatory domain. There was a bug on cfg80211's logic such that it assumed that once you pegged a request as the last request it was already the currently set regulatory domain. This would mean we would race setting a stale regulatory domain to secondary cards which had the same regulatory domain since the alpha2 would match. We fix this by processing each regulatory request atomically, and only move on to the next one once we get it fully processed. In the case CRDA is not present we will simply world roam. This issue is only present when you have a slow system and the CRDA processing is delayed. Because of this it is not a known regression. Without this fix when a delay is present with CRDA the second card would end up with an intersected regulatory domain and not allow it to use the channels it really is designed for. When two cards with two different regulatory domains were inserted you'd end up rejecting the second card's regulatory domain request. This fails with mac80211_hswim's regtest=2 (two requests, same alpha2) and regtest=3 (two requests, different alpha2) module parameter options. This was reproduced and tested against mac80211_hwsim using this CRDA delayer: #!/bin/bash echo $COUNTRY >> /tmp/log sleep 2 /sbin/crda.orig And these regulatory tests: modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=2 modprobe mac80211_hwsim regtest=3 Reported-by: Mark Mentovai <mark@moxienet.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
