2015-12-02mac80211: don't teardown sdata on sdata stopEliad Peller
Interfaces are being initialized (setup) on addition, and torn down on removal. However, p2p device is being torn down when stopped, resulting in the next p2p start operation being done on uninitialized interface. Solve it by calling ieee80211_teardown_sdata() only on interface removal (for the non-netdev case).

2015-09-22mac80211: process skb_queue while scanning in HWAndrei Otcheretianski
Queued frames aren't processed during scan, which results in an inability to complete the BA session establishment until the scan ends. Since we can't tx frames until the BA agreement setup is complete, it might result in a very large latency during scan. Fix this by allowing to process queued skbs while scanning in HW. This should be ok since the devices which support hw scan should be able to handle tx/rx while scanning. During SW scan, mac80211 drops any txed frames besides probes and NDPs, so it is still needed to delay processing of the queued frames till the SW scan is done.

2015-07-17mac80211: shut down interfaces before destroying interface listJohannes Berg
If the hardware is unregistered while interfaces are up, mac80211 will unregister all interfaces, which in turns causes mac80211 to be called again to remove them all from the driver and eventually shut down the hardware. During this shutdown, however, it's currently already unsafe to iterate the list of interfaces atomically, as the list is manipulated in an unsafe manner. This puts an undue burden on the driver - it must stop all its activities before calling ieee80211_unregister_hw(), while in the normal stop path it can do all cleanup in the stop method. If, for example, it's using the iteration during RX for some reason, it would have to stop RX before unregistering to avoid crashes. Fix this problem by closing all interfaces before unregistering them. This will cause the driver stop to have completed before we manipulate the interface list, and after the driver is stopped *and* has called ieee80211_unregister_hw() it really musn't be iterating any more as the memory will be freed as well.

2015-06-10mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg
As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

All of them were related to insufficient skb tailroom and I was able to trigger these with ping6 program. AP_VLANs may inherit crypto keys from parent AP. This wasn't considered and yielded problems in some setups resulting in inability to transmit data because mac80211 wouldn't resize skbs when necessary and subsequently drop some packets due to insufficient tailroom. For efficiency purposes don't inspect both AP_VLAN and AP sdata looking for tailroom counter. Instead update AP_VLAN tailroom counters whenever their master AP tailroom counter changes.

Four minor merge conflicts: 1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call got moved further up in the probe function. 2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the initializer function. 3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is completely removed in 'net-next'. 4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the argument signature a bit.

2015-04-01mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots.

2015-01-23mac80211: avoid races related to suspend flowEmmanuel Grumbach
When we go to suspend, there is complex set of states that avoids races. The quiescing variable is set whlie __ieee80211_suspend is running. Then suspended is set. The code makes sure there is no window without any of these flags. The problem is that workers can still be enqueued while we are quiescing. This leads to situations where the driver is already suspending and other flows like disassociation are handled by a worker. To fix this, we need to check quiescing and suspended flags in the worker itself and not only before enqueueing it. I also add here extensive documentation to ease the understanding of these complex issues.

2015-01-14mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possibleEmmanuel Grumbach
When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion.

2014-10-30mac80211: properly flush delayed scan work on interface removalJohannes Berg
When an interface is deleted, an ongoing hardware scan is canceled and the driver must abort the scan, at the very least reporting completion while the interface is removed. However, if it scheduled the work that might only run after everything is said and done, which leads to cfg80211 warning that the scan isn't reported as finished yet; this is no fault of the driver, it already did, but mac80211 hasn't processed it.

When starting an offloaded BA session it is unknown what starting sequence number should be used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except after hw restart. When hw restart is requested last_seq is (rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary BA window values resulting in dropped frames until sequence numbers caught up.

Mark new interfaces as idle to allow operations that require that interfaces are idle to take place. Interface types that are always not idle (like AP interfaces) will be set as not idle when they are assigned a channel context.

2014-05-26mac80211: fix virtual monitor interface additionEmmanuel Grumbach
Since the commit below, cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() will warn if it gets a an NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED iftype as explicitely written in the commit log. When an virtual monitor interface is added, its type is set in ieee80211_sub_if_data.vif.type, but not in ieee80211_sub_if_data.wdev.iftype which is passed to cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() hence resulting in the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 21265 at net/wireless/chan.c:376 cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required+0xbc/0x130 [cfg80211]() Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 1 PID: 21265 Comm: ifconfig Tainted: G W O 3.13.11+ #12 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

2014-05-06mac80211: fix CSA tx queue stoppingMichal Kazior
It was possible for tx queues to be stuck stopped if AP CSA finalization failed. In that case neither stop_ap nor do_stop woke the queues up. This means it was impossible to perform tx at all until driver was reloaded or a successful CSA was performed later. It was possible to solve this in a simpler manner however this is more robust and future proof (having multi-vif CSA in mind). New sdata->csa_block_tx is introduced to keep track of which interfaces requested tx to be blocked for CSA. This is required because mac80211 stops all tx queues for that purpose. This means queues must be awoken only when last tx-blocking CSA interface is finished. It is still possible to have tx queues stopped after CSA failure but as soon as offending interfaces are stopped from userspace (stop_ap or ifdown) tx queues are woken up properly.
