* cfg80211/mac80211: allow action frame TX/RX in IBSSJohannes Berg2010-06-144-48/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | When in IBSS mode, currently action frame TX and RX cannot be used. Allow using it to talk to any peer, or for public action frames. Also, while at it, restructure the code in mac80211 to make it easier to add this for other interface types in the future.

* mac80211: Add netif state checking to ieee80211_ifa_changedJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the interface. Currently this causes a kernel BUG like the following: [ 132.460013] kernel BUG at /home/wifi/iwlwifi-2.6/net/mac80211/main.c:380! [ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true, the mutex should be valid. Fix by adding a netif_running() check to the function.

| * mac80211: process station blockack action frames from workJohannes Berg2010-06-042-7/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Processing an association response could take a bit of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that time, the AP might already send a blockack request. If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine, we can end up processing the blockack request before the association processing has finished. Since the blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also cannot make it wait in the driver. As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc setup completed. I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves queuing all blockack category action frames from a work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the code and make things easier. However, this is a very involved and complex change. To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be backported to stable, I've come up with this patch. Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames from the managed interface skb queue, which means their processing will be serialized with processing the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

* | mac80211: Add support for hardware ARP query filteringJuuso Oikarinen2010-06-035-2/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some hardware allow extended filtering of ARP frames not intended for the host. To perform such filtering, the hardware needs to know the current IP address(es) of the host, bound to its interface. Add support for ARP filtering to mac80211 by adding a new op to the driver interface, allowing to configure the current IP addresses. This op is called upon association with the currently configured address(es), and when associated whenever the IP address(es) change. This patch adds configuration of IPv4 addresses only, as IPv6 addresses don't need ARP filtering.

However, checking the channel type in addition can get in the way, since the channel type could change on the fly during an association, and it's not useful to have the channel type anyway since it has no effect on the transmission.

This means that we can end up doing the work for an association request item when (for whatever reason) we receive another frame type, for example a probe response. Processing the wrong type of frame will lead to completely invalid data being processed, and will lead to various problems like thinking the association was successful even if the AP never sent an assocation response. Fix this by making each processing function check that it is invoked for the right work struct type only and continue processing otherwise (and drop frames that we didn't expect). This bug was uncovered during the debugging for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15862 but doesn't seem to be the cause for any of the various problems reported there.

This is clearly undesirable, since the new one might switch to no-HT while another one is operating in HT. Address this issue by keeping track of the HT mode per interface, and allowing only changes that are compatible, i.e. switching into HT40+ is not possible when another interface is in HT40-, in that case the second one needs to fall back to HT20. Also, to allow drivers to know what's going on, store the per-interface HT mode (channel type) in the virtual interface's bss_conf.

In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This makes sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient. Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include a channel variable setting. Note that this can be further improved to start the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID are fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | * | | | | mac80211: allow controlling aggregation manuallyJohannes Berg2010-05-031-1/+64

It is very useful for debugging session initiation and teardown problems since with this you don't have to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and thus have less data to analyse. Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim "support" aggregation sessions. It will still just transfer the frame, but go through the setup and teardown handshakes.
