2012-09-10mac80211: use call_rcu() on sta deletionEliad Peller1-3/+12
mac80211 calls synchronize_rcu() on sta deletion, which increase the roaming time significantly. Convert it into a call_rcu() mechanism, in order to avoid blocking. Since some of the cleanup functions might sleep, schedule from the call_rcu callback a new work that will do the actual cleanup. In order to make sure the cleanup occurs before the interface went down, flush local->workqueue on ieee80211_do_stop().

2012-09-04mac80211: Do not check for valid hw_queues for P2P_DEVICEIlan Peer1-7/+9
A P2P Device interface does not have a netdev, and is not expected to be used for transmitting data, so there is no need to assign hw queues for it. Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-08-20mac80211: add IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTFJohannes Berg1-1/+14
Some devices like the current iwlwifi implementation require that the P2P interface address match the P2P Device address (only one P2P interface is supported.) Add the HW flag IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF that allows drivers to request that P2P Interfaces added while a P2P Device is active get the same MAC address by default.

2012-08-20mac80211: support P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg1-82/+149
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/+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.

2012-08-20mac80211: avoid using synchronize_rcu in ieee80211_set_probe_respEyal Shapira1-2/+2
This could take a while (100ms+) and may delay sending assoc resp in AP mode with WPS or P2P GO (as setting the probe resp takes place there). We've encountered situations where the delay was big enough to cause connection problems with devices like Galaxy Nexus. Switch to using call_rcu with a free handler.

2012-06-24mac80211: clean up debuggingJohannes Berg1-12/+1
There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

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.

When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it.

2012-04-12mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg1-0/+62
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/+65
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.

'wl1271' seems to use BSS_CHANGED_IDLE only for STA and IBSS mode. further the non-idle state of the monitor mode is taken care by the 'count' variable which counts non-idle interfaces. ieee80211_idle_off(local, "in use") will be called. this fixes the following WARNING when we have initially STA mode (network manager running) and not associated, and change it to monitor mode with network manager disabled and bringing up the monitor mode. this changes the idle state from 'true' (STA unassociated) to 'false' (MONITOR mode) exposed by the commit 405385f8ce7a2ed8f82e216d88b5282142e1288b "mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connected" WARNING: net/mac80211/main.c:212 ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211]() Hardware name: 64756D6 Pid: 3835, comm: ifconfig Tainted: G O 3.3.0-rc3-wl #9 Call Trace: [<c0133b02>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8e8c3f>] ? ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<c0133b52>] warn_slowpath_null+0x22/0x30 [<fc8e8c3f>] ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify+0x1cf/0x330 [mac80211] [<fc8f9de3>] __ieee80211_recalc_idle+0x113/0x430 [mac80211] [<fc8fabc6>] ieee80211_do_open+0x156/0x7e0 [mac80211] [<fc8f8a25>] ? ieee80211_check_concurrent_iface+0x25/0x180 [mac80211] [<c015dd9f>] ? raw_notifier_call_chain+0x1f/0x30 [<fc8fb290>] ieee80211_open+0x40/0x80 [mac80211] [<c05894f6>] __dev_open+0x96/0xe0 [<c068fba5>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x35/0x40 [<c05881d9>] __dev_change_flags+0x109/0x170 [<c0589423>] dev_change_flags+0x23/0x60 [<c05f3770>] devinet_ioctl+0x6a0/0x770 ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - in use Cc: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-02-06mac80211: support hw scan while idleEliad Peller1-1/+2
Currently, mac80211 goes to idle-off before starting a scan. However, some devices that implement hw scan might not need going idle-off in order to perform a hw scan, and thus saving some energy and simplifying their state machine. (Note that this is also the case for sched scan - it currently doesn't make mac80211 go idle-off) Add a new flag to indicate support for hw scan while idle.

2012-02-06mac80211: redesign auth/assocJohannes Berg1-1/+3
This is the second part of the auth/assoc redesign, the mac80211 part. This moves the auth/assoc code out of the work abstraction and into the MLME, so that we don't flip channels all the time etc. The only downside is that when we are associated, we need to drop the association in order to create a connection to another AP, but for most drivers this is actually desirable and the ability to do was never used by any applications. If we want to implement resource reservation with FT-OTA, we'd probably best do it with explicit R-O-C in wpa_s. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-01-31mac80211: station state transition error handlingJohannes Berg1-3/+3
In the future, when we start notifying drivers, state transitions could potentially fail. To make it easier to distinguish between programming bugs and driver failures: * rename sta_info_move_state() to sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be called before the station is inserted (and check this with a new station flag). * rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be the regular function that can fail for more than just one reason (bad transition or an error from the driver) This makes the programming model easier -- one of the functions can only be called before insertion and can't fail, the other can fail.

2012-01-24mac80211: set bss_conf.idle when vif is connectedEliad Peller1-0/+1
__ieee80211_recalc_idle() iterates through the vifs, sets bss_conf.idle = true if they are disconnected, and increases "count" if they are not (which later gets evaluated in order to determine whether the device is idle). However, the loop doesn't set bss_conf.idle = false (along with increasing "count"), causing the device idle state and the vif idle state to get out of sync in some cases.

2011-12-15mac80211: refactor station state transitionsJohannes Berg1-2/+3
Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
