2009-07-24mac80211: add helper for management / no-ack frame rate decisionLuis R. Rodriguez
All current rate control algorithms agree to send management and no-ack frames at the lowest rate. They also agree to do this when sta and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211 for this and simplify the rate control algorithm code. Developers wishing to make enhancements to rate control algorithms are for broadcast/multicast can opt to not use this in their gate_rate() mac80211 callback.

2009-07-24mac80211: drop frames for sta with no valid rateLuis R. Rodriguez
When we're associated we should be able to send data to target sta. If we cannot we may be trying to use the incorrect band to talk to the sta. Lets catch any such cases, warn, and drop the frames to not invalidate assumptions being made on rate control algorithms when they have a valid sta to communicate with. Any such cases should be handled and fixed. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-07-24cfg80211: fix unregistrationJohannes Berg

2009-07-24mac80211: cancel the connection monitor timers/workJohannes Berg
In "mac80211: monitor the connection" I forgot to add code to cancel the new timers & work when the interface is brought down, which isn't a problem if you just bring it down, but _is_ a problem when you destroy the interface.

The "what-was-I-thinking-if-anything" patch. Clearly, if cfg80211_send_disassoc() does wdev_lock() and then calls __cfg80211_send_disassoc(), the latter shouldn't lock again.

2009-07-24nl80211: report BSS statusJohannes Berg
When connected to a BSS, or joined to an IBSS, we'll want to know in userspace without using wireless extensions, so report the BSS status in the BSS list. Userspace can query the BSS list, display all the information and retrieve the station information as well. For example (from hwsim): $ iw dev wlan1 scan dump BSS 02:00:00:00:00:00 (on wlan1) -- associated freq: 2462 beacon interval: 100 capability: ESS ShortSlotTime (0x0401) signal: -50.00 dBm SSID: j Supported rates: 1.0* 2.0* 5.5* 11.0* 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 DS Paramater set: channel 11 ERP: <no flags> Extended supported rates: 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-24cfg80211: don't look at wdev->ssid for giwessidJohannes Berg
This variable is only used internally, _while_ connected. If we use it, the sequence # iwconfig wlan1 essid foo <connects> # iwconfig wlan1 essid "" <disconnects> # iwconfig will still display "foo" as the SSID afterwards, which is obviously quite bogus.

2009-07-24mac80211: monitor the connectionJohannes Berg
With the recent MLME rework I accidentally removed the connection monitoring code. In order to add it back, this patch will add new code to monitor both for beacon loss and for the connection actually working, with possibly separate triggers. When no unicast frames have been received from the AP for (currently) two seconds, we will send the AP a probe request. Also, when we don't see beacons from the AP for two seconds, we do the same (but those times need not be the same due to the way the code is now written). Additionally, clean up the parameters to the ieee80211_set_disassoc() function that I need here, those are all useless except sdata.

We have, sometimes, multiple things that want to run but don't have their own timer. Introduce a new function to mac80211's mlme run_again() that makes sure that the timer will run again at the _first_ needed time, use that function and also properly reprogram the timer once it fired.

2009-07-24cfg80211: rework key operationJohannes Berg
This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211) after the connection has been established (in managed mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes. In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command. To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after the connection has been established. Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS mode to see whether or not the network is protected, it needs an update in that area, as well as an update to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared key authentication.

2009-07-24nl80211: introduce new key attributesJohannes Berg
We will soon want to nest key attributes into some new attribute for configuring static WEP keys at connect() and ibss_join() time, so we need nested attributes for that. However, key attributes right now are 'global'. This patch thus introduces new nested attributes for the key settings and functions for parsing them.

2009-07-21mac80211: disable meshJohannes Berg
My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!). I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see no way, at least right now, of actually making sure those functions are only called from process context since they are both called during TX and RX and the mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock() "held". Therefore, let's disable it completely for now. It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't discovered right away, but it is possible that this happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that doesn't exist or so. It should be possible to solve this by deferring the freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations, but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on either of those solutions though. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
