* nl80211/mac80211: Report signal averageBruno Randolf2010-11-182-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

* lib: Add generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) functionBruno Randolf2010-11-181-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding errors. The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver (rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.

* mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APJuuso Oikarinen2010-11-161-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

| | | | | | | | | | Allow antenna configuration by calling driver's function for it. We disallow antenna configuration if the wiphy is already running, mainly to make life easier for 802.11n drivers which need to recalculate HT capabilites.

* cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configurationBruno Randolf2010-11-162-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211. The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use. This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups. Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use this antenna. Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on that. 802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming, Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on the antenna information. Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and to enable or disable antenna diversity. While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare, but useful configurations as follows: 1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals ("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel. (This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2). 2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX antenna, while staying within the legal limits. (This would be: tx 0 rx 3). 3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible. Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> -- v7: Made bitmasks 32 bit wide and rebased to latest wireless-testing. Signed-off-by: John W.

* cfg80211: fix disabling channels based on hintsLuis R. Rodriguez2010-11-151-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a module loads you will have loaded the world roaming regulatory domain or a custom regulatory domain. Further regulatory hints are welcomed and should be respected unless the regulatory hint is coming from a country IE as the IEEE spec allows for a country IE to be a subset of what is allowed by the local regulatory agencies. So disable all channels that do not fit a regulatory domain sent from a unless the hint is from a country IE and the country IE had no information about the band we are currently processing. This fixes a few regulatory issues, for example for drivers that depend on CRDA and had no 5 GHz freqencies allowed were not properly disabling 5 GHz at all, furthermore it also allows users to restrict devices further as was intended. If you recieve a country IE upon association we will also disable the channels that are not allowed if the country IE had at least one channel on the respective band we are procesing. This was the original intention behind this design but it was completely overlooked...

Scatter-gather enables a write/read of multiple none-contiguous areas of an object, in a single call. The extents may overlap and/or be in any order. The Scatter-Gather list is sent to the target in what is called a "cdb continuation segment". This is yet another possible segment in the osd-out-buffer. It is unlike all other segments in that it sits before the actual "data" segment (which until now was always first), and that it is signed by itself and not part of the data buffer. This is because the cdb-continuation-segment is considered a spill-over of the CDB data, and is therefor signed under OSD_SEC_CAPKEY and higher. TODO: A new osd_finalize_request_ex version should be supplied so the @caps received on the network also contains a size parameter and can be spilled over into the "cdb continuation segment".

| * | | | | fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requestedEric Paris2010-10-281-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR() inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR. This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it will still be allowed since detecting it is hard) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

| * | | | | fanotify: limit number of listeners per userEric Paris2010-10-282-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify currently has no limit on the number of listeners a given user can have open. This patch limits the total number of listeners per user to 128. This is the same as the inotify default limit. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| * | | | | fanotify: allow userspace to override max marksEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place lots of marks, particularly ignore marks. Since ignore marks do not pin inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to set and 'unlimited' number of marks. Programs which make use of this feature will be able to OOM a machine. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| * | | | | fanotify: limit the number of marks in a single fanotify groupEric Paris2010-10-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently no limit on the number of marks a given fanotify group can have. Since fanotify is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN this was not seen as a serious DoS threat. This patch implements a default of 8192, the same as inotify to work towards removing the CAP_SYS_ADMIN gating and eliminating the default DoS'able status.

| * | | | | fanotify: allow userspace to override max queue depthEric Paris2010-10-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify has a defualt max queue depth. This patch allows processes which explicitly request it to have an 'unlimited' queue depth. These processes need to be very careful to make sure they cannot fall far enough behind that they OOM the box. Thus this flag is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| * | | | | fsnotify: implement a default maximum queue depthEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently fanotify has no maximum queue depth. Since fanotify is CAP_SYS_ADMIN only this does not pose a normal user DoS issue, but it certianly is possible that an fanotify listener which can't keep up could OOM the box. This patch implements a default 16k depth. This is the same default depth used by inotify, but given fanotify's better queue merging in many situations this queue will contain many additional useful events by comparison.

| * | | | | fanotify: allow userspace to flush all marksEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify is supposed to be able to flush all marks. This is mostly useful for the AV community to flush all cached decisions on a security policy change. This functionality has existed in the kernel but wasn't correctly exposed to userspace.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsnotify perm events do not call fsnotify parent.

Since this causes a severe performance penalty on some platforms we are going to switch to using explicit alignment notation on the 64bit values so we don't have to use 'packed' Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| * | | | | fanotify: implement fanotify listener orderingEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+10

They need this to be able to make sure that things like hierarchichal storage managers will get access to inodes before processes which need the data. This patch defines 3 possible uses which groups must indicate in the fanotify_init() flags. FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT FAN_CLASS_CONTENT FAN_CLASS_NOTIF Groups will receive notification in that order. The order between 2 groups in the same class is undeterministic. FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the inode before they are certain that the inode contains it's final data. A hierarchical storage manager should choose to use this class. FAN_CLASS_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the inode after it contains its intended contents. This would be the appropriate level for an AV solution or document control system. FAN_CLASS_NOTIF is intended for normal async notification about access, much the same as inotify and dnotify. Syncronous permissions events are not permitted at this class. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before others.
