Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

We can now easily determine whether we already have probe response information for the BSS we are asked to connect to, in which case there's little point in probing the BSS again. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Upstream radiotap has adopted the namespace proposal David Young made and I then took care of, for which I had adapted the radiotap parser as a library outside the kernel.

For debugging hardware scan trigger/complete functionality, it was useful to have code in hwsim that pretends to do a hardware scan. This code could be extended to actually do the scan, but for now it was sufficient for me to only pretend. Since hwsim was written to ease debugging, it only makes sense to add it to it permanently.

Reinette found the reason for the warnings that happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan finished; her description of the problem: mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is busy with management work at the time. The scan requests are deferred and run after the work has completed. When this occurs there are currently two problems. * The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated with the band and channels to scan not initialized. * When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is that when the driver completes the scan and calls ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress. The reason is that the queued scan work will start the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct has already been allocated. However, in the first pass it will not have been filled, which happens at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this, simply move the allocation after the pending work test as well, so that the first iteration of the scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even in the hardware scan case.

We only reply to probe request if either the requested SSID is the broadcast SSID or if the requested SSID matches our own SSID. This latter case was not properly handled since we were replying to different SSID with the same length as our own SSID.

Commit c7ab5ef9 entitled "b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling. Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s. Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

Calling ath_bus_cleanup() after ieee80211_free_hw() resulted in access to common->bus_ops, which is already freed as part of the device data. Remove the cleanup field in struct ath_bus_ops, as it was never used properly. Remove ath_bus_cleanup(). Merge cleanup functions in place of the ath_bus_cleanup() calls.

When injecting frames, mac80211 currently looks for the first AP interface that matches the source address of the injected frame. This breaks when such a frame is directed at a STA that has been moved to a VLAN. This patch fixes it by using sta_info_get_bss instead of sta_info_get, which also finds stations belonging to a VLAN interface of the same BSS as the AP interface.

When an injected frame gets buffered for a powersave STA or filtered and retransmitted, mac80211 attempts to parse the radiotap header again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point. This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info on the next call to ieee80211_tx(). This fixes severe issues with rekeying in AP mode. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When looking for a matching interface, __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet loops over all active interfaces, looking for matching stations. Because AP VLAN interfaces are not processed as part of this loop, it needs to use sta_info_get_bss instead of sta_info_get in order to find a STA that has been moved to a VLAN.

This adds a new regulatory hint to be used when we know all devices have been disconnected and idle. This can happen when we suspend, for instance. When we disconnect we can no longer assume the same regulatory rules learned from a country IE or beacon hints are applicable so restore regulatory settings to an initial state. Since driver hints are cached on the wiphy that called the hint, those hints are not reproduced onto cfg80211 as the wiphy will respect its own wiphy->regd regardless. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

When cfg80211 starts it will send a core regulatory hint. This is sent to the global workqueue but we force processing of it by flushing the global workqueue. The flushing was done since cfg80211 needs last_request to always be populated. Avoid flushing the global workqueue by processing the work required immediately instead of putting it into a linked list and processing it after the flush. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
