2014-08-25at76c50x-usb: fix use after free on failure path in at76_probe()Alexey Khoroshilov
After commit 174beab7d445 ("at76c50x-usb: Don't perform DMA from stack memory") at76_delete_device() and usb_put_dev() are called both if at76_init_new_device() fails in at76_probe(). But at76_delete_device() does usb_put_dev(priv->dev) itself that means double usb_put_dev(). The patch avoids the problem by moving usb_put_dev() from at76_delete_device() to at76_disconnect().

2014-06-25mac80211: support more than one band in scan requestDavid Spinadel
Some drivers (such as iwlmvm) can handle multiple bands in a single HW scan request. Add a HW flag to indicate that the driver support this. To hold the required data, create a separate structure for HW scan request that holds cfg scan request and data about different parts of the scan IEs. As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers using it to use the correct new function type/argument.

2014-06-05at76c50x: fix scan does not work with latest mac80211Andrea Merello
since commit 3afc2167f60a327a2c1e1e2600ef209a3c2b75b7 scan in not working anymore, due to mac80211 requires rx frequency status information. This patch makes the driver report this information. While NOT scanning this is straightforward. While scanning the firmware performs RF sweep and we cannot track the actual tuning frequency, so this is guessed by parsing beacons and probe responses. This should be enough for ensuring functionality.

2014-05-29at76c50x-usb: Make WEP encryption working.Andrea Merello
Currently the driver uses HW encryption. Whenever mac80211 calls the set_key() callback the driver restarts the whole HW configuration procedure, in order to set (also) the new WEP key. However, by doing this, it causes the card to loose association information, and the HW becomes unable to communicate with the BSS. This patch adds support for sending another HW command, that sets only the wep key, instead of resetting all. Mac80211 key-set requests are thus handled via this new command.

Loading the driver with DMA debugging enabled makes the kernel to complain about the ehci driver trying to perform DMA from memory from the stack.

2012-05-18USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.Sarah Sharp
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished. Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state, using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their data transfer. If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the middle of receiving a transmission. The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the same in Linux. Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

This is a cut and paste mistake, sizeof(struct mib_local) was intended instead of sizeof(struct mib_phy). The call to at76_get_mib() uses sizeof(struct mib_local) correctly, although I changed that to sizeof(*m) for style reasons after discussion with some of the wireless maintainers.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211.

The driver at76c50x-usb is unable to authenticate with an AP since kernel 2.6.31 for the following reason: The join command of the firmware needs to be sent with the right bssid before any transmission can start.

2009-08-20mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleepJohannes Berg
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

2009-08-04mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueueLuis R. Rodriguez
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-08-04at76c50x-usb: remove unneeded flush_workqueue() at usb disconnectLuis R. Rodriguez
This driver only uses the mac80211 workqueue and mac80211 requires us to cancel all work at driver stop. Since we now have the cancels in the right places at stop() we really don't need to flush the mac80211 workqueue so remove it. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-08-04at76c50x-usb: cancel scan work at stop callbackLuis R. Rodriguez
This should fix suspend as mac80211 expects all work queued to the mac80211 workqueue to be canceled at driver stop(). Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Acked-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-07-10mac80211: push rx status into skb->cbJohannes Berg
Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be optimised on its own schedule. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
