2010-07-29mac80211: allow drivers to request DTIM periodJohannes Berg
Some features require knowing the DTIM period before associating. This implements the ability to wait for a beacon in mac80211 before assoc to provide this value. It is optional since most likely not all drivers will need this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-05-12mac80211: don't process work item with wrong frameJohannes Berg
When we process a frame, we currently just match it to the work struct by the MAC addresses, and not by the work type. This means that we can end up doing the work for an association request item when (for whatever reason) we receive another frame type, for example a probe response. Processing the wrong type of frame will lead to completely invalid data being processed, and will lead to various problems like thinking the association was successful even if the AP never sent an assocation response. Fix this by making each processing function check that it is invoked for the right work struct type only and continue processing otherwise (and drop frames that we didn't expect). This bug was uncovered during the debugging for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15862 but doesn't seem to be the cause for any of the various problems reported there.

2010-04-09mac80211: check whether scan is in progress before queueing scan_workTeemu Paasikivi
As scan_work is queued from work_work it needs to be checked if scan has been started during execution of work_work. Otherwise, when hw scan is used, the stack gets error about hw being busy with ongoing scan. This causes the stack to abort scan without notifying the driver about it. This leads to a situation where the hw is scanning and the stack thinks it's not. Then when the scan finishes, the stack will complain by warnings.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Currently, the remain_on_channel work callback needs to track in its own data structure whether the work was just started or not. By reordering some code this becomes unnecessary, the generic wk->started variable can still be 'false' on the first invocation and only be 'true' on actual timeout invocations, so that the extra variable can be removed.

ieee80211_work_rx_mgmt currently enqueues various management frames, including deauth and disassoc frames, however the function ieee80211_work_rx_queued_mgmt does not handle these, as they should only occur if the AP is buggy.

2010-01-12mac80211: add U-APSD client supportKalle Valo
Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

2010-01-12mac80211: fix a few work bugsJohannes Berg
Kalle and Lennert reported problems with the new work code, and at least Kalle's problem I was able to trace to a missing jiffies initialisation. I also ran into a problem where occasionally I couldn't connect, which seems fixed with kicking the work items after scanning. Finally, also add some sanity checking code to verify that we're not adding work items while an interface is down -- that case could lead to something similar to what Lennert was seeing. There still seems to be a race condition that we're trying to figure out separately.

2009-12-28mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.
