2010-03-10minstrel: make the rate control ops reusable from another rc implementationFelix Fietkau
This patch makes it possible to reuse the minstrel rate control ops from another rate control module. This is useful in preparing for the new 802.11n implementation of minstrel, which will reuse the old code for legacy stations. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-03-10minstrel: simplify and fix debugfs codeFelix Fietkau
This patch cleans up the debugfs read function for the statistics by using simple_read_from_buffer instead of its own semi-broken hack. Also removes a useless member of the minstrel debugfs info struct. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-03-10mac80211: give warning if building w/out rate ctrl algorithmAndres Salomon
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.

2010-03-09mac80211: use different MAC addresses for virtual interfacesJohannes Berg
Drivers can now advertise to cfg80211 that they have multiple MAC addresses reserved for a device, but we don't currently make use of that in mac80211. Change that and assign different addresses to new virtual interfaces (if addresses are available) in order to make it easier for users to use multiple virtual interfaces; they no longer need to always assign a new MAC address manually.

2010-03-09mac80211: Improve software scan timingHelmut Schaa
The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up the scan itself. Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and return to the operating channel in that case. Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence, scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated listen interval allows us to. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-03-09mac80211: fix rates setup on IBSS mergeBruno Randolf
when an IBSS merge happened, the supported rates for the newly added station were left empty, causing the rate control module to be initialized with only the basic rates. also the section of the ibss code which deals with updating supported rates for an already existing station fails to inform the rate control module about the new rates. as i don't know how to fix this (minstrel does not have an update function), i have just added a comment for now.

2010-03-09mac80211: deprecate RX status noiseJohannes Berg
The noise value as is won't be used, isn't filled by most drivers and doesn't really make a whole lot of sense on a per packet basis -- proper cfg80211 survey support in mac80211 will need to be different. Mark the struct member as deprecated so it will be removed from drivers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-03-03mac80211: Fix HT rate control configurationSujith
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.

2010-03-02mac80211: Fix reassociation processing (within ESS roaming)Jouni Malinen
Commit e1dd33f60ced091114e4aacf141e0d03b88d3e13 changed cfg80211 to allow association commands while in associated state to enable support for roaming within an ESS. However, this was not enough to resolve all cases with mac80211 which needs some additional handling of the reassociation case to clear internal state with the BSS that was in use previously. This patch makes ieee80211_mgd_assoc() accept a valid reassociation command and clean the association state with the previous BSS. This fixes roaming between BSSes in an ESS when using wpa_supplicant with -Dnl80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-02-28bridge: Add hash elasticity/max sysfs entriesHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to control the hash elasticity/max parameters. The elasticity setting does not take effect until the next new multicast group is added. At which point it is checked and if after rehashing it still can't be satisfied then snooping will be disabled. The max setting on the other hand takes effect immediately. It must be a power of two and cannot be set to a value less than the current number of multicast group entries. This is the only way to shrink the multicast hash.

2010-02-28bridge: Add multicast_snooping sysfs toggleHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to disable IGMP snooping completely through a sysfs toggle. It also allows the user to reenable snooping when it has been automatically disabled due to hash collisions. If the collisions have not been resolved however the system will refuse to reenable snooping. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-28bridge: Add multicast_router sysfs entriesHerbert Xu
This patch allows the user to forcibly enable/disable ports as having multicast routers attached. A port with a multicast router will receive all multicast traffic. The value 0 disables it completely. The default is 1 which lets the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port will always receive all multicast traffic.

2010-02-28bridge: Add multicast forwarding functionsHerbert Xu
This patch adds code to perform selective multicast forwarding. We forward multicast traffic to a set of ports plus all multicast router ports. In order to avoid duplications among these two sets of ports, we order all ports by the numeric value of their pointers. The two lists are then walked in lock-step to eliminate duplicates.

2010-02-28bridge: Add core IGMP snooping supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support without actually hooking it up. So this patch should be a no-op as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned. All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING. A run-time toggle is also available. The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is lockless on the read-side through RCU. On the write-side the new multicast_lock is used for all operations. The hash table supports dynamic growth/rehashing. The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a preset limit. If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain length then snooping will be disabled. These features may be added in future (in no particular order): * IGMPv3 source support * Non-querier router detection * IPv6 Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-28bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward pathHerbert Xu

2010-02-28bridge: Do br_pass_frame_up after other portsHerbert Xu
At the moment we deliver to the local bridge port via the function br_pass_frame_up before all other ports. There is no requirement for this. For the purpose of IGMP snooping, it would be more convenient if we did the local port last. Therefore this patch rearranges the bridge input processing so that the local bridge port gets to see the packet last (if at all).

commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Date: Tue Feb 23 20:41:30 2010 +0100 Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING in order to surpress netlink registration notifications.

2010-02-27dev: support deferring device flag change notificationsPatrick McHardy
Split dev_change_flags() into two functions: __dev_change_flags() to perform the actual changes and __dev_notify_flags() to invoke netdevice notifiers. This will be used by rtnl_link to defer netlink notifications until the device has been fully configured. This changes ordering of some operations, in particular: - netlink notifications are sent after all changes have been performed. As a side effect this surpresses one unnecessary netlink message when the IFF_UP and other flags are changed simultaneously. - The NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_CHANGE notifiers are invoked after all changes have been performed. Their relative is unchanged. - net_dmaengine_put() is invoked before the NETDEV_DOWN notifier instead of afterwards. This should not make any difference since both RX and TX are already shut down at this point. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

2010-02-26netfilter: nfnetlink_log: fix silly refcount leakAlexey Dobriyan
Quick fix for memory/module refcount leak. Reference count of listener instance never reaches 0. Start/stop of ulogd2 is enough to trigger this bug! Now, refcounting there looks very fishy in particular this code: if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE)) { ... and creation of listener instance with refcount 2, so it may very well be ripped and redone. :-) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
