When clients are idle for too long, hostapd sends nullfunc frames for probing. When those are acked by the client, the idle time needs to be updated.

When clients are idle for too long, hostapd sends nullfunc frames for
probing. When those are acked by the client, the idle time needs to be
updated.

To make this work (and to avoid unnecessary probing), update sta->last_rx
whenever an ACK was received for a tx packet. Only do this if the flag

mac80211: correctly close cancelled scans 2013-11-13T03:01:48+00:00 Emmanuel Grumbach emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com 2013-09-16T08:12:07+00:00 b9ef1eea8bc243c4435c85ea5a30c647ea19995a commit a754055a1296fcbe6f32de3a5eaca6efb2fd1865 upstream. __ieee80211_scan_completed is called from a worker. This means that the following flow is possible. * driver calls ieee80211_scan_completed * mac80211 cancels the scan (that is already complete) * __ieee80211_scan_completed runs When scan_work will finally run, it will see that the scan hasn't been aborted and might even trigger another scan on another band.

another band. This leads to a situation where cfg80211's
scan is not done and no further scan can be issued.

mac80211: fix duplicate retransmission detection 2013-08-11T22:38:42+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-07-11T20:33:26+00:00 cfc93260cc19e2dbbe1dda395d005140a6addbf9 commit 6b0f32745dcfba01d7be33acd1b40306c7a914c6 upstream. The duplicate retransmission detection code in mac80211 erroneously attempts to do the check for every frame, even frames that don't have a sequence control field or that don't use it (QoS-Null frames.) This is problematic because it causes the code to access data beyond the end of the SKB and depending on the data there will drop packets erroneously. Correct the code to not do duplicate detection for such frames. I found this error while testing AP powersave, it lead to retransmitted PS-Poll frames being dropped entirely as the data beyond the end of the SKB was always zero.

mac80211: close AP_VLAN interfaces before unregistering all 2013-06-07T19:49:49+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-05-23T23:06:09+00:00 a28ab558b0e81326ed23026090a743418cb52a41 commit c8aa22db0112f640ac6631347f850879c621840b upstream. Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces") there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

    mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.

we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on
ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish.
But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP
without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch
to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS.
Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered
by AP.

To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when
going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was
before.

mac80211: fix FT roaming 2013-02-04T00:24:41+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2013-01-11T13:34:25+00:00 e4fcbe5297a8c6e512c68a77c660a8cdd7d315e4 commit 1626e0fa740dec8665a973cf2349405cdfeb46dc upstream. During FT roaming, wpa_supplicant attempts to set the key before association. This used to be rejected, but as a side effect of my commit 66e67e418908442389d3a9e ("mac80211: redesign auth/assoc") the key was accepted causing hardware crypto to not be used for it as the station isn't added to the driver yet. It would be possible to accept the key and then add it to the driver when the station has been added. However, this may run into issues with drivers using the state- based station adding if they accept the key only after association like it used to be. For now, revert to the behaviour from before the auth and assoc change.
