2013-04-08mac80211: make ieee802_11_parse_elems an inlineJohannes Berg
This (slightly) reduces the code size. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: destroy virtual monitor interface across suspendJohannes Berg
It has to be removed from the driver, but completely destroying it helps handle unplug of a device during suspend since then the channel context handling etc. doesn't have to happen later when it's removed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: parse Timeout Interval Element using a structJohannes Berg
Instead of open-coding the accesses and length check do the length check in the IE parser and assign a struct pointer for use in the remaining code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: check ERP info IE length in parserJohannes Berg
It's always just one byte, so check for that and remove the length field from the parser struct. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: check DSSS params IE length in parserJohannes Berg

There's no need to parse IEs that aren't used so just remove them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-25mac80211: Use a cfg80211_chan_def in ieee80211_hw_conf_chanKarl Beldan
Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel, nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local.

2013-03-20mac80211: return the RSSI in dBmEmmanuel Grumbach
For the sake of speed of calculation and number accuracy, mac80211 tracks the RSSI in dBm * 16. But it forgot to divide back by 16 when the RSSI is asked by the driver. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-18mac80211: stop queues temporarily for flushingJohannes Berg
Sometimes queues are flushed in the middle of operation, which can lead to driver issues. Stop queues temporarily, while flushing, to avoid transmitting new packets while they are being flushed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-18mac80211: pass queue bitmap to flush operationJohannes Berg
There are a number of situations in which mac80211 only really needs to flush queues for one virtual interface, and in fact during this frames might be transmitted on other virtual interfaces. Calculate and pass a queue bitmap to the driver so it knows which queues to flush. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211: cleanup generic suspend/resume proceduresStanislaw Gruszka
Since now we disconnect before suspend, various code which save connection state can now be removed from suspend and resume procedure. Cleanup on resume side is smaller as ieee80211_reconfig() is also used for H/W restart. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-15mac80211: handle operating mode notif in beacon/assoc responseJohannes Berg
In beacons and association response frames an AP may include an operating mode notification element to advertise changes in the number of spatial streams it can receive. Handle this using the existing function that handles the action frame, but only handle NSS changes, not bandwidth changes which aren't allowed here.

2013-02-15mac80211: don't pick up WPA vendor IEJohannes Berg
There's no use for it, WPA is entirely handled in wpa_supplicant in userspace, so don't pick the IE. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-15mac80211: add radar detection command/eventSimon Wunderlich
Add command to trigger radar detection in the driver/FW. Once radar detection is started it should continuously monitor for radars as long as the channel active. If radar is detected usermode notified with 'radar detected' event. Scanning and remain on channel functionality must be disabled while doing radar detection/scanning, and vice versa.

2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

2013-01-31mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame statusJohannes Berg
When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-31mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_periodEmmanuel Grumbach
Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period, mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association. This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the association, if they get it at all. To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM becomes known. This might be when changing to associated, or later when the entire association was done with only probe response information. Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period now, just not before association.

2013-01-16mac80211: call restart complete at wowlan resume timeJohannes Berg
When the driver's resume function can't completely restore the configuration in the device, it returns 1 from the callback which will be treated like a HW restart request, but done directly. In this case, also call the driver's restart_complete() function so it can finish the reconfiguration there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-16mac80211: fix resume from WoWLANJohannes Berg
My commit 529ba6e9313dbe60dab7e72c6fdf647a012e9f5b ("mac80211: clean up association better in suspend") introduced a bug when resuming from WoWLAN when a device reset is desired. This case must not use the suspend_bss_conf as it hasn't been stored. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: split aggregation stop by reasonJohannes Berg
The initiator/tx doesn't really identify why an aggregation session is stopped, give a reason for stopping that more clearly identifies what's going on. This will help tell the driver clearly what is expected of it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: reconfig bss_info_changed only if beaconingJohannes Berg
For AP/IBSS/mesh interfaces, call the driver to reconfigure bss_info_changed only if the interface was beaconing before suspend, otherwise we call the driver and it might interpret the change as going from enabled to disabled. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: clean up association better in suspendJohannes Berg
When suspending, bss_info_changed() is called to disable beacons, but managed mode interfaces are simply removed (bss_info_changed() is called with "no change" only). This can lead to problems. To fix this and copy the BSS configuration, clear it during suspend and restore it on resume. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-20mac80211: fix channel context suspend/reconfig handlingJohannes Berg
Sujith reported warnings with suspend/resume due to channel contexts. When I looked into it, I realised that the code was completely broken as it unassigned the channel contexts when suspending, which actually means they are destroyed. Eliad Peller then pointed out that we also need to remove the channel contexts from the driver. When I looked into this, I also noticed that the code isn't handling the virtual monitor interface correctly (if it exists.) Fix this by calling just the driver methods (if they are implemented) instead of using the channel context management code. Also add reconfiguration for the virtual monitor interface.

2012-11-19mac80211: check add_chanctx callback before use in ieee80211_reconfigArend van Spriel
During testing our mac80211 driver a fatal error occurred which was signalled to mac80211. Upon performing the reconfiguration of the device a WARN_ON was triggered. This warning checked the return value of drv_add_chanctx(). However, this returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the driver does not provide the callback. As the callback is optional better check it is defined before calling drv_add_chanctx(). Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-09mac80211: clarify interface iteration and make it configurableJohannes Berg
During hardware restart, all interfaces are iterated even though they haven't been re-added to the driver, document this behaviour. The same also happens during resume, which is even more confusing since all of the interfaces were previously removed from the driver. Make this optional so drivers relying on the current behaviour can still use it, but to let drivers that don't want this behaviour disable it. Also convert all API users, keeping the old semantics except in hwsim, where the new normal ones are desired. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-09mac80211: call driver method when restart completesJohannes Berg
When the driver requests a restart (reconfiguration) it gets all the normal method calls, but can't really tell why they're happening. Call a new restart_complete op in the driver when the restart completes, so it could keep its own state about the restart and clear it there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-09mac80211: don't send null data packet when not associatedJohannes Berg
On resume or firmware recovery, mac80211 sends a null data packet to see if the AP is still around and hasn't disconnected us. However, it always does this even if it wasn't even connected before, leading to a warning in the new channel context code. Fix this by checking that it's associated.

2012-10-30mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interfaceJohannes Berg
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a single global TX power limit was already problematic, in particular if two managed interfaces connected to two APs with different power constraints. The channel context introduction completely broke this though and in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there for drivers using channel contexts. Change everything to track TX power per interface so that different user settings and different channel maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking the global TX power though for compatibility with applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's TX power globally. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
