linux-toradex.git/net/wireless/core.c, branch v4.4.93 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering 2016-03-16T15:42:59+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2016-01-27T12:29:34+00:00 bfed1f518daa78346fb3f118367212ad352b2f07 commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d upstream. Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.

commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d upstream.

Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier
call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly
since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the
kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example,
the following can happen:

5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
    link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>
    link/ether

when setting the interface down causes the wext message.

To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function
and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.

cfg80211: Add multiple scan plans for scheduled scan 2015-10-13T08:35:26+00:00 Avraham Stern avraham.stern@intel.com 2015-10-12T06:51:34+00:00 3b06d277957c7af705a9c0cdda4b371759efb717 Add the option to configure multiple 'scan plans' for scheduled scan. Each 'scan plan' defines the number of scan cycles and the interval between scans. The scan plans are executed in the order they were configured. The last scan plan will always run infinitely and thus defines only the interval between scans. The maximum number of scan plans supported by the device and the maximum number of iterations in a single scan plan are advertised to userspace so it can configure the scan plans appropriately. When scheduled scan results are received there is no way to know which scan plan is being currently executed, so there is no way to know when the next scan iteration will start. This is not a problem, however. The scan start timestamp is only used for flushing old scan results, and there is no difference between flushing all results received until the end of the previous iteration or the start of the current one, since no results will be received in between.

cfg80211: allow mgmt_frame_register callback to sleep 2015-07-17T13:38:26+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2015-06-23T15:47:05+00:00 33d8783c58427683b533664f67f8c4378ed64495 This callback is currently not allowed to sleep, which makes it more difficult to implement proper driver methods in mac80211 than it has to be. Instead of doing asynchronous work here in mac80211, make it possible for the callback to sleep by doing some asynchronous work in cfg80211. This also enables improvements to other drivers, like ath6kl, that would like to sleep in this callback. While at it, also fix the code to call the driver on the implicit unregistration when an interface is removed, and do that also when a P2P-Device wdev is destroyed (otherwise we leak the structs.)
