2014-03-19mac80211: release sched_scan_sdata when stopping sched scanAlexander Bondar
Assuming sched_scan_stop operation is synchronous the driver may not necessary call ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped_work. Since this work is the only place where sched_scan_sdata is released we can possibly run into situation when it is never released. Fix this by releasing it just after calling drv_sched_scan_stop.

2014-03-19mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta againMichael Braun
commit de74a1d9032f4d37ea453ad2a647e1aff4cd2591 "mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-sta" fixed an issue where queued multicast packets would be sent out encrypted with the key of an other bss. commit "7cbf9d017dbb5e3276de7d527925d42d4c11e732" "mac80211: fix oops on mesh PS broadcast forwarding" essentially reverted it, because vif.type cannot be AP_VLAN due to the check to vif.type in ieee80211_get_buffered_bc before. As the later commit intended to fix the MESH case, fix it by checking for IFTYPE_AP instead of IFTYPE_AP_VLAN.

2014-03-19mac80211: fix suspend vs. authentication raceJohannes Berg
Since Stanislaw's patch removing the quiescing code, mac80211 had a race regarding suspend vs. authentication: as cfg80211 doesn't track authentication attempts, it can't abort them. Therefore the attempts may be kept running while suspending, which can lead to all kinds of issues, in at least some cases causing an error in iwlmvm firmware. Fix this by aborting the authentication attempt when suspending.

Additionally, it never returns an error, even if there's no connection or authentication attempt, fix that as well.

2014-02-20cfg80211: Pass TDLS peer capability information in tdls_mgmtSunil Dutt Undekari
While framing the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame, the driver needs to know if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable and thus shall construct the VHT/HT operation / WMM parameter elements accordingly. Supplicant determines if the TDLS peer is VHT/HT/WMM capable based on the presence of the respective IEs in the received TDLS Setup Response frame. The host driver should not need to parse the received TDLS Response frame and thus, should be able to rely on the supplicant to indicate the capability of the peer through additional flags while transmitting the TDLS Setup Confirmation frame through tdls_mgmt operations.

2014-02-12mac80211: add NAPI support backJohannes Berg
NAPI was originally added to mac80211 a long time ago (by John in commit 4e6cbfd09c66 in July 2010), but then removed years later (by Stanislaw in commit 30c97120c6c7 in February 2013). No driver ever used it, so that was fine. Now I'm adding support for NAPI to our driver, so add some code to mac80211 again to support NAPI. John was originally wrapping some (but not nearly all NAPI-related functions), but that doesn't scale very well with the number of functions that are there, some of which are even only inlines. Thus, instead of doing that, let the drivers manage the NAPI struct, except for napi_add() which is needed so mac80211 knows how to call napi_gro_receive(). Also remove some no longer needed definitions that were left when NAPI support was removed.

2014-02-06mac80211: fix fragmentation code, particularly for encryptionJohannes Berg
The "new" fragmentation code (since my rewrite almost 5 years ago) erroneously sets skb->len rather than using skb_trim() to adjust the length of the first fragment after copying out all the others. This leaves the skb tail pointer pointing to after where the data originally ended, and thus causes the encryption MIC to be written at that point, rather than where it belongs: immediately after the data. The impact of this is that if software encryption is done, then a) encryption doesn't work for the first fragment, the connection becomes unusable as the first fragment will never be properly verified at the receiver, the MIC is practically guaranteed to be wrong b) we leak up to 8 bytes of plaintext (!) of the packet out into the air This is only mitigated by the fact that many devices are capable of doing encryption in hardware, in which case this can't happen as the tail pointer is irrelevant in that case. Additionally, fragmentation is not used very frequently and would normally have to be configured manually. Fix this by using skb_trim() properly.

2014-02-06mac80211: Fix IBSS disconnectSujith Manoharan
Currently, when a station leaves an IBSS network, the corresponding BSS is not dropped from cfg80211 if there are other active stations in the network. But, the small window that is present when trying to determine a station's status based on IEEE80211_IBSS_MERGE_INTERVAL introduces a race. Instead of trying to keep the BSS, always remove it when leaving an IBSS network. There is not much benefit to retain the BSS entry since it will be added with a subsequent join operation. This fixes an issue where a dangling BSS entry causes ath9k to wait for a beacon indefinitely.

2014-02-04cfg80211: fix channel configuration in IBSS joinAntonio Quartulli
When receiving an IBSS_JOINED event select the BSS object based on the {bssid, channel} couple rather than the bssid only. With the current approach if another cell having the same BSSID (but using a different channel) exists then cfg80211 picks up the wrong BSS object. The result is a mismatching channel configuration between cfg80211 and the driver, that can lead to any sort of problem. The issue can be triggered by having an IBSS sitting on given channel and then asking the driver to create a new cell using the same BSSID but with a different frequency. By passing the channel to cfg80211_get_bss() we can solve this ambiguity and retrieve/create the correct BSS object. All the users of cfg80211_ibss_joined() have been changed accordingly. Moreover WARN when cfg80211_ibss_joined() gets a NULL channel as argument and remove a bogus call of the same function in ath6kl (it does not make sense to call cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero BSSID on ibss-leave).

ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

2014-02-04mac80211: remove module handling from rate control opsJohannes Berg
There's not a single rate control algorithm actually in a separate module where the module refcount would be required. Similarly, there's no specific rate control module. Therefore, all the module handling code in rate control is really just dead code, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: minstrel_ht: sample_table can be __read_mostlyJohannes Berg
The sample table is initialized only once at module start, so is really __read_mostly. Additionally, the code to init it can be marked __init since it will never be needed again, it is likely automatically inlined into the __init function already by the compiler, so this doesn't really make a difference.

2014-02-04mac80211: make cfg80211 ops and privid constJohannes Berg
The wiphy privid (to identify wiphys) and the cfg80211 ops should both be const, so change them to be. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: make rate control ops constJohannes Berg
Change the code to allow making all the rate control ops const, nothing ever needs to change them. Also change all drivers to make use of this and mark the ops const. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-04mac80211: advertise BF STS according to AP supportEyal Shapira
Restrict our published beamformee STS capability according to the AP value. Some AP show bad behaviour in interoperability testing when our capabilities are better. Signed-off-by: Eyal Shapira <eyalx.shapira@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
