* mac80211: fix parameter confusion when finding IBSSJohannes Berg2009-05-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | When I fixed the crypto bit I must have done the negative test only -- it is quite clearly impossible to find _any_ IBSS to join with the parameters put the wrong way around.

* mac80211: cancel/restart all timers across suspend/resumeJohannes Berg2009-05-201-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending. In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down. While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work() if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers. With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend and resume where as before there where issues with some timers running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of incorrect assumptions and would at times bring back the device in an incoherent, but mostly recoverable, state. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* mac80211: IBSS supported rate fixesJohannes Berg2009-05-131-27/+40
| | | | | | | | | | Currently mac80211 announces a rate set with no basic rates, this fixes it to use 1/2 or 6/9 Mbit as basic rates by default. Additionally, mac80211 will currently adopt the peer's entire rate set, rather than just the basic rate set; fix that too.

* mac80211: don't connect to IBSS network with different privacyJohannes Berg2009-05-131-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Even when we find an IBSS with the SSID we're looking for, we may not be able to connect to it because it has a key and we don't, or vice versa. Avoid such situations by checking the privacy capability bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: tell driver when idleJohannes Berg2009-05-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing anything, aka being idle, means: * no monitor interfaces * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network * we aren't trying to scan By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change, we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save power. Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped completely. This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here when we need to be able to wake up with low latency. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this: phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1 wlan0 direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: authenticated > phy0: device now idle > phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout be more appropriate? We may need to revisit this, depending on what happens. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: add driver ops wrappersJohannes Berg2009-05-061-14/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers for all operations. All calls are now written as drv_<op>(local, ...); instead of local->ops-><op>(&local->hw, ...); Where necessary, the wrappers also do existence checking and return default values as appropriate.

* mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changedJohannes Berg2009-05-061-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes config_interface and rolls all the information it previously passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

* mac80211: clean up beacon interval settingsJohannes Berg2009-05-061-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.

* mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanningJohannes Berg2009-05-061-19/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some places marked /* XXX maybe racy? */ and they really are racy because there's no locking. This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning (which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work will then take care of the rest. Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an interface that is associating. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: internally clear failed scans properlyJohannes Berg2009-05-061-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | When the IBSS code wants to scan, but that fails, we can get stuck in a situation where you can never scan again.

* mac80211: fix various problems in ibss codeJohannes Berg2009-05-061-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few problems in the IBSS code: a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible only after all other settings are set, this helps protect against b) For b), we get a system crash: wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID ce:f9:88:76:1e:4d BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<...>] ieee80211_sta_find_ibss+0x294/0x37d [mac80211] Call Trace: [<...>] ieee80211_ibss_notify_scan_completed+0x0/0x88 [mac80211] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Don't merge with the same BSSIDAlina Friedrichsen2009-02-271-0/+4
| | | | | | | It was not a good idea to do a TSF reset on strange IBSS merges to the same BSSID. For example it will break the TSF sync of ath9k completely and it is unnecessary as all hardware I have tested do a TSF sync to a higher value automatically and IBSS merges are only done to higher TSF values. It only need a TSF reset to accept a lower value, when the IBSS network is changed manually. Signed-off-by: Alina Friedrichsen <x-alina@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a generic commit() function which initiate a new network joining process. It should be called after some interface config changes, so that the changes get applied more cleanly. Currently set_ssid() and set_bssid() call it. Others can be added in future patches.

* mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg2009-02-271-0/+888
This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.
