mac80211: copy chandef from AP vif to VLANs

2015-01-08T18:30:23+00:00

commit 2967e031d4d737d9cc8252d878a17924d7b704f0 upstream.

Instead of keeping track of all those special cases where
VLAN interfaces have no bss_conf.chandef, just make sure
they have the same as the AP interface they belong to.

Among others, this fixes a crash getting a VLAN's channel
from userspace since a NULL channel is returned as a good
result (return value 0) for VLANs since the commit below.

mac80211: properly flush delayed scan work on interface removal

2014-10-30T14:48:32+00:00

When an interface is deleted, an ongoing hardware scan is canceled and
the driver must abort the scan, at the very least reporting completion
while the interface is removed.

However, if it scheduled the work that might only run after everything
is said and done, which leads to cfg80211 warning that the scan isn't
reported as finished yet; this is no fault of the driver, it already
did, but mac80211 hasn't processed it.

To fix this situation, flush the delayed work when the interface being
removed is the one that was executing the scan.

mac80211: flush keys for AP mode on ieee80211_do_stop

2014-10-29T15:33:37+00:00

Userspace can add keys to an AP mode interface before start_ap has been
called. If there have been no calls to start_ap/stop_ap in the mean
time, the keys will still be around when the interface is brought down.

mac80211: add Intel Mobile Communications copyright

2014-09-05T11:52:06+00:00

Our legal structure changed at some point (see wikipedia), but
we forgot to immediately switch over to the new copyright
notice.

For files that we have modified in the time since the change,
add the proper copyright notice now.

mac80211: fix offloaded BA session traffic after hw restart

2014-09-03T11:40:38+00:00

When starting an offloaded BA session it is
unknown what starting sequence number should be
used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except
after hw restart.

When hw restart is requested last_seq is
(rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up
with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary
BA window values resulting in dropped frames until
sequence numbers caught up.

Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed
frame of a given BA session.

This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with
offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k).

Merge tag 'master-2014-07-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next

====================
pull request: wireless-next 2014-07-25

Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.17 stream!

For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:

"We have a lot of TDLS patches, among them a fix that should make hwsim
tests happy again. The rest, this time, is mostly small fixes."

For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says:

"Some more patches for 3.17. The most important change here is the move of
the 6lowpan code to net/6lowpan. It has been agreed with Davem that this
change will go through the bluetooth tree. The rest are mostly clean up and
fixes."

and,

"Here follows some more patches for 3.17. These are mostly fixes to what
we've sent to you before for next merge window."

For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:

"I have the usual amount of BT Coex stuff. Arik continues to work
on TDLS and Ariej contributes a few things for HS2.0. I added a few
more things to the firmware debugging infrastructure. Eran fixes a
small bug - pretty normal content."

And for the Atheros bits, Kalle says:

"For ath6kl me and Jessica added support for ar6004 hw3.0, our latest
version of ar6004.

For ath10k Janusz added a printout so that it's easier to check what
ath10k kconfig options are enabled. He also added a debugfs file to
configure maximum amsdu and ampdu values. Also we had few fixes as
usual."

On top of that is the usual large batch of various driver updates --
brcmfmac, mwifiex, the TI drivers, and wil6210 all get some action.
Rafał has also been very busy with b43 and related updates.

Also, I pulled the wireless tree into this in order to resolve a
merge conflict...

P.S.  The change to fs/compat_ioctl.c reflects a name change in a
Bluetooth header file...

mac80211: add support for Rx reordering offloading

2014-07-21T15:42:07+00:00

Some drivers may be performing most of Tx/Rx
aggregation on their own (e.g. in firmware)
including AddBa/DelBa negotiations but may
otherwise require Rx reordering assistance.

The patch exports 2 new functions for establishing
Rx aggregation sessions in assumption device
driver has taken care of the necessary
negotiations.
