2013-03-06cfg80211: add ability to override VHT capabilitiesJohannes Berg
For testing it's sometimes useful to be able to override certain VHT capability advertisement, add the ability to do that in cfg80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06cfg80211: move exported event functions into nl80211Johannes Berg
This is the sort of thing gcc's LTO could do, but since we don't have that yet we can also do it manually. The advantage is reduced code, both source and binary, e.g. on x86-64 text data bss dec hex filename 442825 56230 776 499831 7a077 cfg80211.ko (before) 441585 56230 776 498591 79b9f cfg80211.ko (after) a reduction of ~1k. But in order to not complicate the code move only those functions that are simple wrappers, not those that have functionality of their own. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Add back the previously removed TCP WoWLAN information, but only if userspace is prepared to deal with large wiphy capability data dumps. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06nl80211: conditionally add back radar informationJohannes Berg
If userspace is updated to deal with large split wiphy information dumps, add back the radar information that could otherwise push the data over the limit of the netlink dump messages.

2013-03-06nl80211: allow splitting wiphy information in dumpsJohannes Berg
The per-wiphy information is getting large, to the point where with more than the typical number of channels it's too large and overflows, and userspace can't get any of the information at all. To address this (in a way that doesn't require making all messages bigger) allow userspace to specify that it can deal with wiphy information split across multiple parts of the dump, and if it can split up the data. This also splits up each channel separately so an arbitrary number of channels can be supported. Additionally, since GET_WIPHY has the same problem, add support for filtering the wiphy dump and get information for a single wiphy only, this allows userspace apps to use dump in this case to retrieve all data from a single device. As userspace needs to know if all this this is supported, add a global nl80211 feature set and include a bit for this behaviour in it.

2013-03-06cfg80211: comprehensively check station changesJohannes Berg
The station change API isn't being checked properly before drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see what should be allowed and what not. In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could. While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation. To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06cfg80211: clean up mesh plink station change APIJohannes Berg
Make the ability to leave the plink_state unchanged not use a magic -1 variable that isn't in the enum, but an explicit change flag; reject invalid plink states or actions and move the needed constants for plink actions to the right header file. Also reject plink_state changes for non-mesh interfaces. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-01nl80211: increase wiphy dump size dynamicallyJohannes Berg
Given a device with many channels capabilities the wiphy information can still overflow even though its size in 3.9 was reduced to 3.8 levels. For new userspace and kernel 3.10 we're going to implement a new "split dump" protocol that can use multiple messages per wiphy. For now though, add a workaround to be able to send more information to userspace. Since generic netlink doesn't have a way to set the minimum dump size globally, and we wouldn't really want to set it globally anyway, increase the size only when needed, as described in the comments. As userspace might not be prepared for large buffers, we can only use 4k. Also increase the size for the get_wiphy command. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-27nl80211: remove channel width and extended capa advertisingJohannes Berg
This is another case of data increasing the size of the wiphy information significantly with a new feature, for now remove this as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-26nl80211: remove TCP WoWLAN informationJohannes Berg
Just like the radar information, the TCP WoWLAN capability data can increase the wiphy information and make it too big. Remove the TCP WoWLAN information; no driver supports it and new userspace tools will be required as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-26nl80211: remove radar informationJohannes Berg
The wiphy information is getting very close to being too much for a typical netlink dump message and adding the radar attributes to channels and interface combinations can push it over the limit, which means userspace gets no information whatsoever. Therefore, remove these again for now, no driver actually supports radar detection anyway and a modified userspace is required as well. We're working on a solution that will allow userspace to request splitting the information across multiple netlink messages, which will allow us to add this back.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next John W. Linville says: ==================== This probably is the last big pull request for wireless bits for 3.9. Of course, I'm sure there will be a few stragglers here and there...surely a few bug fixes as well... :-) (In fact, I see that Johannes has already queued-up a few more for me while I was preparing this...) Included are a number of pulls... For mac80211-next, Johannes says: "The biggest change I have is undoubtedly Marco's mesh powersave implementation. Beyond that, I have a patch from Emmanuel to modify the DTIM period API in mac80211, scan improvements and a removal of some previous workaround code from Stanislaw, dynamic short slot time from Thomas and 64-bit station byte counters from Vladimir. I also made a number of changes myself, some related to WoWLAN, some auth/deauth improvements and most of them BSS list cleanups." "This time, I have relatively large number of fixes in various areas of the code (a memory leak in regulatory, an RX race in mac80211, the new radar checking caused a P2P device problem, some mesh issues with stations, an older bug in tracing and for kernel-doc) as well as a number of small new features. The biggest (in the diffstat) is my work on hidden SSID tracking." "Please pull to get * radar detection work from Simon * mesh improvements from Thomas * a connection monitoring/powersave fix from Wojciech * TDLS-related station management work from Jouni * VLAN crypto fixes from Michael Braun * CCK support in minstrel_ht from Felix * an SMPS (not SMSP, oops) related improvement in mac80211 (Emmanuel) * some WoWLAN work from Amitkumar Karwar: pattern match offset and a documentation fix * some WoWLAN work from myself (TCP connection wakeup feature API) * and a lot of VHT (and some HT) work (also from myself) And a number of more random cleanups/fixes. I merged mac80211/master to avoid a merge problem there." And regarding iwlwifi-next, Johannes says: "We continue work on our new driver, but I also have a WoWLAN and AP mode improvement for the previous driver and a change to use threaded interrupts to prepare us for working with non-PCIe devices." Regarding wl12xx, Luca says: "A few more patches intended for 3.9. Mostly some clean-ups I've been doing to make it easier to support device-tree. Also including one bug fix for wl12xx where the rates we advertise were wrong and an update in the wlconf structure to support newer firmwares." For the nfc-next bits, Samuel says: "This is the second NFC pull request for 3.9. We have: - A few pn533 fixes on top of Waldemar refactorization of the driver, one of them fixes target mode. - A new driver for Inside Secure microread chipset. It supports two physical layers: i2c and MEI. The MEI one depends on a patchset that's been sent to Greg Kroah-Hartman for inclusion into the 3.9 kernel [1]. The dependency is a KConfig one which means this code is not buildable as long as the MEI API is not usptream." "This 3rd NFC pull request for 3.9 contains a fix for the microread MEI physical layer support, as the MEI bus API changed. From the MEI code, we now pass the MEI id back to the driver probe routine, and we also pass a name and a MEI id table through the mei_bus_driver structure. A few renames as well like e.g. mei_bus_driver to mei_driver or mei_bus_client to mei_device in order to be closer to the driver model practices." For the ath6kl bits, Kalle says: "There's not anything special here, most of the patches are just code cleanup. The only functional changes are using the beacon interval from user space and fixing a crash which happens when inserting and removing the module in a loop." Also, I pulled the wireless tree in order to resolve some pending merge issues. On top of that, there is a bunch of work on brcmfmac that leads up to P2P support. Also, mwifiex, rtlwifi, and a variety of other drivers see some basic cleanups and minor enhancements. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The information of the peer's capabilities is required for the driver to perform TDLS Peer UAPSD operations. This information of the peer is passed by the supplicant using NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION command. This commit enhances the function nl80211_set_station to pass this information of the peer to the driver in case this command is used with the TDLS peer STA.

2013-02-11cfg80211: move TSF into IEsJohannes Berg
While technically the TSF isn't an IE, it can be necessary to distinguish between the TSF from a beacon and a probe response, in particular in order to know the next DTIM TBTT, as not all APs are spec compliant wrt. TSF==0 being a DTIM TBTT and thus the DTIM count needs to be taken into account as well. To allow this, move the TSF into the IE struct so it can be known whence it came.

2013-02-11cfg80211: track hidden SSID networks properlyJohannes Berg
Currently, cfg80211 will copy beacon IEs from a previously received hidden SSID beacon to a probe response entry, if that entry is created after the beacon entry. However, if it is the other way around, or if the beacon is updated, such changes aren't propagated. Fix this by tracking the relation between the probe response and beacon BSS structs in this case. In case drivers have private data stored in a BSS struct and need access to such data from a beacon entry, cfg80211 now provides the hidden_beacon_bss pointer from the probe response entry to the beacon entry.

2013-02-04cfg80211: fix BSS list hidden SSID lookupJohannes Berg
When trying to find a hidden SSID, the lookup function is done wrong; the code is trying to combine the two lookups into one, and as a consequence doesn't always find the entry at all. To understand this, consider a case where multiple BSS entries with the same channel and BSSID exist but have different SSID length. Then comparing against the probe response SSID length is bound to cause problems since the hidden one might be either zeroed out or zero-length. To fix this we need to do two lookups for the two ways to hide SSIDs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
