2012-05-17mac80211: Restart STA timers only on associated stateRajkumar Manoharan
commit 676b58c27475a9defccc025fea1cbd2b141ee539 upstream. A panic was observed when the device is failed to resume properly, and there are no running interfaces. ieee80211_reconfig tries to restart STA timers on unassociated state.

commit 8bc8aecdc5e26cfda12dbd6867af4aa67836da6a upstream. This field is used to determine the inactivity time. When in AP mode, hostapd uses it for kicking out inactive clients after a while. Without this patch, hostapd immediately deauthenticates a new client if it checks the inactivity time before the client sends its first data frame.

2010-08-10mac80211: avoid scheduling while atomic in mesh_rx_plink_frameJohn W. Linville
commit c937019761a758f2749b1f3a032b7a91fb044753 upstream. While mesh_rx_plink_frame holds sta->lock... mesh_rx_plink_frame -> mesh_plink_inc_estab_count -> ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify ...but ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is allowed to sleep. A driver taking advantage of that allowance can cause a scheduling while atomic bug. Similar paths exist for mesh_plink_dec_estab_count, so work around those as well. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16099 Also, correct a minor kerneldoc comment error (mismatched function names).

2010-07-05mac80211: fix deauth before assocJohannes Berg
commit b054b747a694927879c94dd11af54d04346aed7d upstream. When we receive a deauthentication frame before having successfully associated, we neither print a message nor abort assocation. The former makes it hard to debug, while the latter later causes a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be the case, association timed out. This warning was reported by many, e.g. in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981, but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame instead of an association response.

2010-07-05mac80211: fix rts threshold checkShanyu Zhao
commit a2c40249a36d0b4d76d1caf6bf806e4ae5b06e8a upstream. Currently whenever rts thresold is set, every packet will use RTS protection no matter its size exceeds the threshold or not. This is due to a bug in the rts threshold check. if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) { txrc.rts = rts = true; } Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold), and the variable len is assigned as: len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN, tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold); However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is 0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.

2010-07-05mac80211: give warning if building w/out rate ctrl algorithmAndres Salomon
commit c2ef355bf3ef0b8006b96128726684fba47ac928 upstream. I discovered that if EMBEDDED=y, one can accidentally build a mac80211 stack and drivers w/ no rate control algorithm. For drivers like RTL8187 that don't supply their own RC algorithms, this will cause ieee80211_register_hw to fail (making the driver unusable). This will tell kconfig to provide a warning if no rate control algorithms have been selected. That'll at least warn the user; users that know that their drivers supply a rate control algorithm can safely ignore the warning, and those who don't know (or who expect to be using multiple drivers) can select a default RC algorithm.

Then once the association work times out we tell cfg80211, but it no longer wants to know since for all it is concerned we accepted the deauth that also kills the association attempt. Fix this by, upon receipt of deauth request, removing the association work and continuing to send the deauth.

2010-04-19mac80211: pass HT changes to driver when off channelReinette Chatre
Since "mac80211: make off-channel work generic" drivers have not been notified of configuration changes after association or authentication. This caused more dependence on current state to ensure driver will be notified when configuration changes occur. One such problem arises if off-channel is in progress when HT information changes. Since HT is only enabled on the "oper_channel" the driver will never be notified of this change. Usually the driver is notified soon after of a BSS information change (BSS_CHANGED_HT) ... but since the driver did not get a notification that this is a HT channel the new BSS information does not make sense. Fix this by also changing the off-channel information when HT is enabled and thus cause driver to be notified correctly. This fixes a problem in 4965 when associated with 5GHz 40MHz channel. Without this patch the system can associate but is unable to transfer any data, not even ping.

2010-03-30mac80211: move netdev queue enabling to correct spotJohannes Berg
"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update() notification to the driver. This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always. Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

The outcome is this (cleaned up): [ 2252.398681] WARNING: at net/mac80211/work.c:995 ieee80211_work_purge [ 2252.466430] Backtrace: [ 2252.529266] (ieee80211_work_purge+0x0/0xcc [mac80211]) [ 2252.546875] (ieee80211_stop+0x0/0x4c0 [mac80211]) Additionally, one would get this, going on regarless of the WLAN interface state, going on forever: [ 2252.859985] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717525) [ 2253.055419] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717524) [ 2253.250610] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717523) [ 2253.446014] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717522) [ 2253.641357] wlan0: direct probe to 00:90:4c:60:04:00 (try -996717521) Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-02-26mac80211: use listen interval 5 as defaultHelmut Schaa
Currently if a driver does not set hw.max_listen_interval a listen interval of 1 is negotiated with the AP. Thus, the AP could drop buffered frames for us after just one beacon interval which can easily happen with the current powersave and scan implementation. To avoid this issue increase the default interval to 5 which should be a reasonable safe default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-02-16mac80211: split ieee80211_drop_unencryptedJohannes Berg
Currently, ieee80211_drop_unencrypted is called from management and data frame context, and the different contexts pass different frames. This could lead to it processing an 802.3 frame as an 802.11 frame when MFP is enabled. Move the MFP part of ieee80211_drop_unencrypted into a new function that is only called for mgmt frames.

2010-02-15cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action framesJouni Malinen
This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

2010-02-15mac80211: reject unhandled action framesJohannes Berg
802.11-2007 7.3.1.11 mandates that we need to reject action frames we don't handle by setting the 0x80 bit in the category and returning them to the sender, so do that. In AP mode, hostapd is responsible for this. Additionally, drop completely malformed action frames or ones that should've been encrypted as unusable, userspace shouldn't see those.

2010-02-12mac80211: fix handling of null-rate control in rate_control_get_rateJuuso Oikarinen
For hardware with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL the rate controller is not initialized. However, calling functions such as ieee80211_beacon_get result in the rate_control_get_rate function getting called, which is accessing (in this case uninitialized) rate control structures unconditionally. Fix by exiting the function before setting the rates for HW with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL set. The initialization of the ieee80211_tx_info struct is intentionally still executed.

Even if the null data frame is not acked by the AP, mac80211 goes into power save. This might lead to loss of frames from the AP.
