2008-02-02mac80211: fix initialisation error pathJohannes Berg1-7/+7
The error handling in ieee80211_init() is broken when any of the built-in rate control algorithms fail to initialise, fix it and rename the error labels. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-02-02mac80211 rate control: fix section mismatchJohannes Berg2-2/+2
When the rate control algorithms are built-in, their exit functions can be called from mac80211's init function so they cannot be marked __exit.

2008-02-02mac80211: make alignment warning optionalJohannes Berg2-0/+19
Driver authors should be aware of the alignment requirements, but not everybody cares about the warning. This patch makes it depend on a new Kconfig symbol MAC80211_DEBUG_PACKET_ALIGNMENT which can be enabled regardless of MAC80211_DEBUG and is recommended for driver authors (only). This also restricts the warning to data packets so other packets need not be realigned to not trigger the warning. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-01mac80211: fixing null qos data frames check for reordering bufferRon Rindjunsky1-1/+1

2008-02-01mac80211: fix alignment warningJohannes Berg1-13/+33
When I introduced the alignment warning I forgot the A-MSDU case which has a different requirement because each frame contains 14-byte 802.3 headers in front of the IP payload. This patch moves the alignment warning to a place where we know whether we're dealing with an A-MSDU frame and adjusts it accordingly.

2008-01-29[NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink APIPatrick McHardy1-7/+7
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

2008-01-29mac80211: fix RCU locking in __ieee80211_rx_handle_packetJohannes Berg1-1/+0
Commit c7a51bda ("mac80211: restructure __ieee80211_rx") extracted __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet out of __ieee80211_rx and hence changed the locking rules for __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet(), it is now invoked under RCU lock. There is, however, one instance left where it contains an rcu_read_unlock() in an error path, which is a bug. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-29mac80211: Assign correct TID for local bridged packetsGuy Cohen1-4/+5
This patch assigns correct TID to frames transmitted between two stations in the same BSS in AP mode. The problem is that skb->protocol is not set to ETH_P_IP and it is wrong to use that field at this stage.

2008-01-29mac80211: Initialize vif pointerIvo van Doorn2-0/+2
Before calling update_beacon() mac80211 must initialize the control.vif pointer so it can be used by the driver to determine which interface is trying to send the beacon. v2: ieee80211_beacon_get() should also initialize the vif pointer since it can be called by mac80211 internally before calling config_interface().

2008-01-29mac80211: add unified BSS configurationJohannes Berg6-67/+77
This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode. This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback when the BSS configuration changes. This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following new features: * drivers are notified of their association AID * drivers are notified of association status and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch implements the cfg80211 hooks for configuring beaconing on an access point interface in mac80211.

2008-01-29mac80211: move interface type to vif structureJohannes Berg12-117/+116
Drivers that support mixed AP/STA operation may well need to know the type of a virtual interface when iterating over them. The easiest way to support that is to move the interface type variable into the vif structure. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-01-29mac80211: dont use interface indices in driversJohannes Berg6-67/+73
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and contains a variable length driver-use data area. This has two advantages: * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better for working with network namespaces and performance * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without having to allocate own lists/hash tables Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-29rc80211_pid should respect fixed rates.Andrew Lutomirski1-4/+8
I would argue that mac80211 should handle fixed rates outside the rate control code, which would also allow them to take effect immediately instead of during the rate control callback, but this is pretty close to correct.

2008-01-29mac80211: better rate control algorithm selectionJohannes Berg7-65/+134
This patch changes mac80211's Kconfig/Makefile to: * select between the PID and the SIMPLE rate control algorithm as default * always allow tri-state for the rate control algorithms, building those that are selected 'y' into the mac80211 module (if that is a module, otherwise all into the kernel) * force the default rate control algorithm to be built into mac80211 It also makes both rate control algorithms proper modules again with MODULE_LICENSE etc. Only if EMBEDDED is the user allowed to select "NONE" as default which will cause no algorithm to be selected, this will work only when the driver brings one itself (e.g. iwlwifi drivers).

2008-01-29mac80211: A-MPDU Rx handling aggregation reorderingRon Rindjunsky2-3/+192
This patch handles the reordering of the Rx A-MPDU. This issue occurs when the sequence of the internal MPDUs is not in the right order. such a case can be encountered for example when some MPDUs from previous aggregations were recieved, while others failed, so current A-MPDU will contain a mix of re-transmited MPDUs and new ones.

This patch makes a separation between Rx frame pre-handling which stays in __ieee80211_rx and Rx frame handlers, moving to __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet. Although this separation has no affect in regular mode of operation, this kind of mechanism will be used in A-MPDU frames reordering as it allows accumulation of frames during pre-handling, dispatching them to later handling when necessary.

2008-01-29mac80211: Restore rx.fc before every invocation of ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlersHelmut Schaa1-0/+2
This patch fixes a problem with rx handling on multiple interfaces. Especially when using hardware-scanning and a wireless driver (i.e. iwlwifi) which is able to receive data while scanning. The rx handlers can modify the skb and the frame control field (see ieee80211_rx_h_remove_qos_control) but since every interface gets its own copy of the skb each should get its own copy of rx.fc too. In my case the wlan0-interface did not remove the qos-control from the frame because the corresponding flag in rx.fc was already removed while processing the frame on the master interface. Therefore somehow corrupted frames were passed to the userspace. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <hschaa@suse.de> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch moves the decision making about whether a frame is encrypted with a certain algorithm up into the TX handlers rather than having it in the crypto algorithm implementation.

2008-01-29mac80211: allow easier multicast/broadcast buffering in hardwareJohannes Berg1-9/+23
There are various decisions influencing the decision whether to buffer a frame for after the next DTIM beacon. The "do we have stations in PS mode" condition cannot be tested by the driver so mac80211 has to do that. To ease driver writing for hardware that can buffer frames until after the next DTIM beacon, introduce a new txctl flag telling the driver to buffer a specific frame. While at it, restructure and comment the code for multicast buffering and remove spurious "inline" directives.
