This driver supports Intel's full MAC wireless multicomm 802.11 hardware. Although the hardware is a 802.11agn device, we currently only support 802.11ag, in managed and ad-hoc mode (no AP mode for now).

The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211. Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they are not mac80211 specific. The moving allows some fullmac drivers to be also benefit from these utility functions.

My first patch submission used 200ms, which I then somehow managed to revert back to the earlier 50ms I had used for some tests in the second patch submission -- but that was wrong, I should have used 200ms here. Correct that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp % beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon frame).

The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon interval is used and the current TSF is large. In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the actual TSF value.

SD8688 is a WLAN/Bluetooth combo chip and both functions are supported in a single firmware image. FUNC_INIT and FUNC_SHUTDOWN commands are implemented to utilize the multiple function feature. When SD8688 card is inserted, the firmware image should be downloaded only once through either WLAN function (Libertas driver) or Bluetooth function (Bluetooth driver). This patch adds function init/shutdown for SD8688 WLAN function only. Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Usually, the 16-bit rx length is read from scratch pad registers with two CMD52 transactions: SD8385: IF_SDIO_SCRATCH_OLD (0x80fe/0x80ff) SD8686/SD8688: IF_SDIO_SCRATCH (0x34/0x35) Alternatively, SD8688 firmware offers an enhanced method for driver to read an 8-bit rx length (in units) with a single CMD52: IF_SDIO_RX_UNIT 0x43 is read one time after firmware is ready. IF_SDIO_RX_LEN 0x42 is read every time when rx interrupt is received. Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The GPSI interface driver does not re-enable the Card Event Interrupt, which causes problems after a card event (for example: link-loss) comes in. This can lead, for example, to the card failing to re-associate. This patch ensures that we re-enable the Card Event Interrupt when we handle card events.

In "mac80211: split out and decrease probe wait time" I tried to reduce the time waiting for a probe response, but failed to take into account the case where we are detecting beacon loss in software -- in that case we still wait the monitoring time rather than the probe wait time. Fix this by refactoring the mod_timer() calls in ieee80211_associated(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The requirement for wireless stats to be atomic is now mostly artificial since we hold the rtnl _and_ the dev_base_lock for iterating the device list. Doing that is not required, just the rtnl is sufficient (and the rtnl is required for other reasons outlined in commit "wext: fix get_wireless_stats locking"). This will fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13344 and make things easier for drivers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently, we will ask the driver to configure right away when somebody changes the desired BSSID. That's totally strange because then we will configure the driver without even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero BSSID when not associated. As a side effect, this fixes an issue with the iwlwifi driver which doesn't implement sta_notify properly and uses the BSSID instead and gets very confused if the BSSID is cleared before we disassociate, which results in the warning Marcel posted [1] and iwlwifi bug 1995 [2].

When the genIE hasn't changed there's no reason to kick the state machine since it won't be able to do anything new -- doing this decreases the useless work we do for reassociating because if we do kick the state machine it will try to find a usable BSS but there might not be one because wpa_supplicant will only change the BSSID a little later. In a sense this is a workaround for userspace behaviour, but on the other hand userspace cannot really keep track of what the kernel currently has for genIE since any process could have changed that while wpa_supplicant wasn't looking.

Jouni Malinen authored
If the AP includes our AID in the TIM IE, we need to process the Beacon frame as far as PS is concerned (send PS-Poll or nullfunc data with PM=0). The previous code skipped this in cases where the CRC value did not change and it would not change if the AP continues including our AID in the TIM.. There is no need to count the crc32 value for directed_tim with this change, so we can remove that part. In order not to change the order of operations (i.e., update WMM parameters prior to sending PS-Poll), the CRC match is checked twice as only after the PS processing step, the rest of the function is skipped if nothing changed in the Beacon.

mac80211 does not set PM field for normal data frames, so we need to update that based on the current PS mode when using PS-Poll (timeout=0) power save mode. This allows the AP to remain in sync with our PS state. However, there is still a potential race condition between PS state changes when multiple TX queues are used and nullfunc and PS-Poll frames use different queue. That corner case may need to be handled separately by changing which queue is used either in ath9k or mac80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

If the chip complains about TSF sync, make sure we remain awake to sync with the next Beacon frame. In theory, this should not be needed since we are currently trying to receive all Beacon frames, anyway, better have this code ready should we ever change that.

When the chip is in sleep mode, there is no point trying to calibrate the radio since it will just results in incorrect values being read from registers and other potential issues. In addition, if we actually start processing calibrate, do not allow the chip to be put into sleep until we have completed the calibration step.

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have been received (in case the TX is for a PS-Poll frame).

If we are trying to interpolate a curve with slope == 0, the return value will always be the y-coordinate. In this code we are looping until we reach a minimum y-coordinate on a line, which in the 0-slope case can never happen, thus the loop never terminates. The PCDAC steps come from the EEPROM and should never be equal, but we should gracefully handle that case, so warn and bail out.

There is a race on access to last_request and its alpha2 through reg_is_valid_request() and us possibly processing first another regulatory request on another CPU. We avoid this improbably race by locking with the cfg80211_mutex as we should have done in the first place. While at it add the assert on locking on reg_is_valid_request().

Some applications using wireless extensions expect to be able to remove a key that doesn't exist. One example is wpa_supplicant which doesn't actually change behaviour when running into an error while trying to do that, but it prints an error message which users interpret as wpa_supplicant having problems. The safe thing to do is not change the behaviour of wireless extensions any more, so when the driver reports -ENOENT let the wext bridge code return success to userspace. To guarantee this, also document that drivers should return -ENOENT when the key doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Currently all radios receive all traffic on the simulated air if they are tuned to the same channel. This patch introduces the concept of grouping, which allows to assign a radio to certain group. Only radios in the same group can 'see' each other. Each bit in /debug/ieee80211/phy*/hwsim/group represents one group. By default all radios belong to the same group "1", e.g. bit 1 is set. Additionally a radio can belong to several groups. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <wagi@monom.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
