* mac80211: check csa wiphy flag in ibss before switchingSimon Wunderlich2013-12-021-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | When external CSA IEs are received (beacons or action messages), a channel switch is triggered as well. This should only be allowed on devices which actually support channel switches, otherwise disconnect. (For the corresponding userspace invocation, the wiphy flag is checked in nl80211).

* mac80211: set hw initial idle stateKarl Beldan2013-11-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATM, the first call of ieee80211_do_open will configure the hw as non-idle, even if the interface being brought up is not a monitor, and this leads to inconsistent sequences like: register_hw() do_open(sta) hw_config(non-idle) (.. sta is non-idle ..) scan(sta) hw_config(idle) (after scan finishes) do_stop(sta) do_open(sta) (.. sta is idle ..)

However, it accidentally removed the setting of IEEE80211_STA_CONNECTION_POLL, making the connection polling completely useless (the flag is always clear, so the result is never being checked).

* mac80211: fix the mesh channel switch supportChun-Yeow Yeoh2013-11-255-14/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Mesh STA receiving the mesh CSA action frame is not able to trigger the mesh channel switch due to the incorrect handling and comparison of mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP)'s TTL. Make sure the MCSP's TTL is updated accordingly before calling the ieee80211_mesh_process_chnswitch. Also, we update the beacon before forwarding the CSA action frame, so MCSP's precedence value and initiator flag need to be updated prior to this.

* mac80211: don't attempt to reorder multicast framesJohannes Berg2013-11-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Multicast frames can't be transmitted as part of an aggregation session (such a session couldn't even be set up) so don't try to reorder them. Trying to do so would cause the reorder to stop working correctly since multicast QoS frames (as transmitted by the Aruba APs this was found with) would cause sequence number confusion in the buffer.

* mac80211: fix scheduled scan rtnl deadlockJohannes Berg2013-11-252-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When changing cfg80211 to use RTNL locking, this caused a deadlock in mac80211 as it calls cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped() from a work item that's on a workqueue that is flushed with the RTNL held. Fix this by simply using schedule_work(), the work only needs to finish running before the wiphy is unregistered, no other synchronisation (e.g. with suspend) is really required since for suspend userspace is already blocked anyway when we flush the workqueue so will only pick up the event after resume.

* Revert "mac80211: allow disable power save in mesh"Bob Copeland2013-11-251-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit ee1f668136b2fb6640ee2d54c2a525ea41f98211. The aformentioned commit added a check to allow 'iw wlan0 set power_save off' to work for mesh interfaces. However, this is problematic because it also allows 'iw wlan0 set power_save on', which will crash in short order because all of the subsequent code manipulates sdata->u.mgd. The power-saving states for mesh interfaces can be manipulated through the mesh config, e.g: 'iw wlan0 set mesh_param mesh_power_save=active' (which, despite the name, actualy disables power saving since the setting refers to the type of sleep the interface undergoes).

Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some APs (notably a Sitecom WL-153 v1 with firmware 1.45) are sending invalid WMM parameters setting AIFSN, ECWmin and ECWmax to zero. The spec mandates that the value of AIFSN is at least 2, and some cards (e.g. Intel with the iwldvm driver) can't transmit when the invalid QoS parameters are actually uploaded to the firmware. Since there's little chance of being able to guess the values that the AP actually meant, disable WMM if such an invalid case is found. Since ECWmin/ECWmax are allowed to be zero, only verify AIFSN >= 2 and ECWmin <= ECWmax.

| * | mac80211: support reporting A-MSDU subframes individuallyMichal Kazior2013-10-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices may not be able to report A-MSDUs in single buffers. Drivers for such devices were forced to re-assemble A-MSDUs which would then be eventually disassembled by mac80211. This could lead to CPU cache thrashing and poor performance. Since A-MSDU has a single sequence number all subframes share it. This was in conflict with retransmission/duplication recovery (IEEE802.11-2012: 9.3.2.10). Patch introduces a new flag that is meant to be set for all individually reported A-MSDU subframes except the last one. This ensures the last_seq_ctrl is updated after the last subframe is processed. If an A-MSDU is actually a duplicate transmission all reported subframes will be properly discarded.

| * | mac80211: use exact-size allocation for authentication frameFred Zhou2013-10-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The authentication frame has a fixied size of 30 bytes (including header, algo num, trans seq num, and status) followed by a variable challenge text. Allocate using exact size, instead of over-allocation by sizeof(ieee80211_mgmt). Signed-off-by: Fred Zhou <fred.zy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | mac80211: add explicit IBSS driver operationsJohannes Berg2013-10-013-2/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be useful for drivers if they have any failure cases when joining an IBSS. Also move setting the queue parameters to before this new call, in case the new driver op needs them already. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

VHT_CAP_SOUNDING_DIMENSIONS is also 3 bits long. Fix the definitions and change the cap masking accordingly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some debugfs related functions snprintf was used while scnprintf should have been used instead. (blindly adding the return value of snprintf and supplying it to the next snprintf might result in buffer overflow when the input is too big) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| * | mac80211: add support for CSA in IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich2013-09-266-43/+480
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function adds the channel switch announcement implementation for the IBSS code. It is triggered by userspace (mac80211/cfg) or by external channel switch announcement, which have to be adopted. Both CSAs in beacons and action frames are supported. As for AP mode, the channel switch is applied after some time. However in IBSS mode, the channel switch IEs are generated in the kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IBSS CSA will require to disconnect if a channel switch fails, but mac80211 should search and re-connect after this disconnect. To allow such usage, split off the ibss disconnect process in a separate function which only performs the disconnect without overwriting nl80211-supplied parameters.
