2013-01-16mac80211: add encrypt headroom to PERR framesBob Copeland
Mesh PERR action frames are robust and thus may be encrypted, so add proper head/tailroom to allow this.

A user reported warnings in ath5k due to transmitting frames with no rates set up.

2013-01-16mac80211: synchronize scan off/on-channel and PS statesStanislaw Gruszka
Since: commit b23b025fe246f3acc2988eb6d400df34c27cb8ae Author: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Date: Fri Feb 4 11:54:17 2011 -0800 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.

2013-01-16mac80211: fix FT roamingJohannes Berg
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.

2013-01-03mac80211: fix dtim_period in hidden SSID AP associationJohannes Berg
When AP's SSID is hidden the BSS can appear several times in cfg80211's BSS list: once with a zero-length SSID that comes from the beacon, and once for each SSID from probe reponses. Since the mac80211 stores its data in ieee80211_bss which is embedded into cfg80211_bss, mac80211's data will be duplicated too. This becomes a problem when a driver needs the dtim_period since this data exists only in the beacon's instance in cfg80211 bss table which isn't the instance that is used when associating. Remove the DTIM period from the BSS table and track it explicitly to avoid this problem.

2013-01-03mac80211: use del_timer_sync for final sta cleanup timer deletionJohannes Berg
This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the timer from running while the module is being removed when we only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync(). The timer should normally not be running at this point, but it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

2013-01-03mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modesJohannes Berg
Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae5b, intended to speed up roaming by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved some code into that work item that will still call into the driver at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the AP or mesh has been stopped. To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate patch. Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down, due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be reverted.

2012-12-06mac80211: cancel work instead of waiting for it to do nothingJohannes Berg
If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped, we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.

2012-12-06mac80211: don't drop mesh peering frames from unknown STAMarco Porsch
Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station entry were being dropped. Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED) are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later. The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each other's beacons which created the STA entry. However, this causes an unnecessary delay and beacons might not be received if either node is in PS mode.

Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails".

2012-11-30mac80211: fix for mesh sync to indicate TBTT adjustmentMarco Porsch
Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment, but it never sets the corresponding flag itself. By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons. This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue tracking the new offset.
