2014-04-09mac80211: protect AP VLAN list with local->mtxMichal Kazior
It was impossible to change chanctx of master AP for AP VLANs because the copy function requires RTNL which can't be simply taken in mac80211 code due to possible deadlocks. This is required for future chanctx reservation that re-bind vifs to new chanctx. This requires safe AP VLAN iteration without RTNL. Now VLANs can be iterated while holding either RTNL or local->mtx because the list is modified while holding both of these locks.

2014-04-09cfg80211/mac80211: move more combination checks to mac80211Luciano Coelho
Get rid of the cfg80211_can_add_interface() and cfg80211_can_change_interface() functions by moving that functionality to mac80211. With this patch all interface combination checks are now out of cfg80211 (except for the channel switch case which will be addressed in a future commit). Additionally, modify the ieee80211_check_combinations() function so that an undefined chandef can be passed, in order to use it before a channel is defined.

rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.

2014-02-17netdevice: add queue selection fallback handler for ndo_select_queueDaniel Borkmann
Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

2014-01-10net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwardingJason Wang
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

2013-12-19mac80211: fix iflist_mtx/mtx locking in radar detectionJohannes Berg
The scan code creates an iflist_mtx -> mtx locking dependency, and a few other places, notably radar detection, were creating the opposite dependency, causing lockdep to complain. As scan and radar detection are mutually exclusive, the deadlock can't really happen in practice, but it's still bad form. A similar issue exists in the monitor mode code, but this is only used by channel-context drivers right now and those have to have hardware scan, so that also can't happen. Still, fix these issues by making some of the channel context code require the mtx to be held rather than acquiring it, thus allowing the monitor/radar callers to keep the iflist_mtx->mtx lock ordering. While at it, also fix access to the local->scanning variable in the radar code, and document that radar_detect_enabled is now properly protected by the mtx. All this would now introduce an ABBA deadlock between the DFS work cancelling and local->mtx, so change the locking there a bit to not need to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() but be able to just use cancel_delayed_work(). The work is also safely stopped/removed when the interface is stopped, so no extra changes are needed.

The radar detection code changed a few times, and due to the changes some iflist_mtx locking stayed in that isn't actually necessary - remove it. One version of the code needed it because an AP interface's VLAN list was changed to use this, but then we moved the list handling outside of the chanctx handling and thus the locking was no longer needed.

2013-10-28mac80211: implement SMPS for APEmmanuel Grumbach
When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS, we send an action frame to each associated station and reconfigure the channel context / driver. Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

2013-08-26mac80211: fix change_interface queue assignmentsJohannes Berg
Jouni reported that with mac80211_hwsim, multicast TX was causing crashes due to invalid vif->cab_queue assignment. It turns out that this is caused by change_interface() getting invoked and not having the vif->type/vif->p2p assigned correctly before calling the queue check (ieee80211_check_queues). Fix this by passing the 'external' interface type to the function and adjusting it accordingly. While at it, also fix the error path in change_interface, it wasn't correctly resetting to the external type but using the internal one instead. Fortunately this affects on hwsim because all other drivers set the vif->type/vif->p2p variables when changing iftype. This shouldn't be needed, but almost all implementations actually do it for their own internal handling. Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path, unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this, unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

The code I added in "mac80211: don't start new netdev queues if driver stopped" crashes for monitor and AP VLAN interfaces because while they have a netdev, they don't have queues set up by the driver. To fix the crash, exclude these from queue accounting here and just start their netdev queues unconditionally. For monitor, this is the best we can do, as we can redirect frames there to any other interface and don't know which one that will since it can be different for each frame. For AP VLAN interfaces, we can do better later and actually properly track the queue status. Not doing this is really a separate bug though.

2013-04-22mac80211: use synchronize_rcu() with rcu_barrier()Bob Copeland
The RCU docs used to state that rcu_barrier() included a wait for an RCU grace period; however the comments for rcu_barrier() as of commit f0a0e6f... "rcu: Clarify memory-ordering properties of grace-period primitives" contradict this. So add back synchronize_{rcu,net}() to where they once were, but keep the rcu_barrier()s for the call_rcu() callbacks.

2013-04-08mac80211: fix LED in idle handlingJohannes Berg
feng xiangjun reports that my commit 382a103b2b528a3085cde4ac56fc69d92a828b72 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Fri Mar 22 22:30:09 2013 +0100 mac80211: fix idle handling sequence broke the wireless status LED. The reason is that we now call ieee80211_idle_off() when the channel context is assigned, and that doesn't recalculate the LED state. Fix this by making that function a wrapper around most of idle recalculation while forcing active.

2013-04-08mac80211: don't start new netdev queues if driver stoppedJohannes Berg
If a new netdev (e.g. an AP VLAN) is created while the driver has queues stopped, the new netdev queues will be started even though they shouldn't. This will lead to frames accumulating on the internal mac80211 pending queues instead of properly being held on the netdev queues. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-04-08mac80211: replace some dead code by a warningJohannes Berg
Given the (nested) switch statements, this code can't be reached, so make it warn instead of manipulating the carrier state which seems purposeful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
