2014-04-09mac80211: implement chanctx reservationLuciano Coelho
In order to support channel switch with multiple vifs and multiple contexts, we implement a concept of channel context reservation. This allows us to reserve a channel context to be used later. The reservation functionality is not tied directly to channel switch and may be used in other situations (eg. reserving a channel context during IBSS join). We first check if an existing compatible context exists and if it does, we reserve it. If there is no compatible context we create a new one and reserve it. Additionally, split ieee80211_vif_copy_chanctx_to_vlans() so we can call it while already holding the chanctx mutex.

2014-04-09mac80211: refactor ieee80211_assign/unassign_vif_chanctx into oneLuciano Coelho
Combine the functions into one, so that we can switch from one context to the other without having to unassign and assign separately. This is needed by the channel reservation functionality because otherwise we have a small period of time when the chanctx is set to NULL, which can cause problems if someone else is trying to dereference it.

2014-04-09mac80211: split ieee80211_vif_change_channel in twoLuciano Coelho
ieee80211_vif_change_channel() locks chanctx_mtx. When implementing channel reservation for CS, we will need to call the function to change channel when the lock is already held, so split the part that requires the lock out and leave the locking in the original function.

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.

2014-04-09cfg80211: Enable GO operation on additional channelsIlan Peer
Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT iff there is an active station interface that is associated to an AP operating on the same channel in the 2 GHz band or the same UNII band (in the 5 GHz band). This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR. Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions, that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities. It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space. Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

2014-03-19cfg80211/mac80211: ignore signal if the frame was heard on wrong channelEmmanuel Grumbach
On 2.4Ghz band, the channels overlap since the delta between different channels is 5Mhz while the width of the receiver is 20Mhz (at least). This means that we can hear beacons or probe responses from adjacent channels. These frames will have a significant lower RSSI which will feed all kinds of logic with inaccurate data. An obvious example is the roaming algorithm that will think our AP is getting weak and will try to move to another AP. In order to avoid this, update the signal only if the frame has been heard on the same channel as the one advertised by the AP in its DS / HT IEs. We refrain from updating the values only if the AP is already in the BSS list so that we will still have a valid (but inaccurate) value if the AP was heard on an adjacent channel only. To achieve this, stop taking the channel from DS / HT IEs in mac80211. The DS / HT IEs is taken into account to discard the frame if it was received on a disabled channel. This can happen due to the same phenomenon: the frame is sent on channel 12, but heard on channel 11 while channel 12 can be disabled on certain devices. Since this check is done in cfg80211, stop even checking this in mac80211.

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.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix station wakeup powersave raceJohannes Berg
Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario: 1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver 2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered) 3) station wakes up again 4) driver unblocks wakeup In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following: 1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set 2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set 3) - nothing - 4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end(). Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432daeec ("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path. While at it, fix a cleanup path issue when a station is removed while the driver is still blocking its wakeup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-20mac80211: insert stations before adding to driverJohannes Berg
There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which means that (for example) the following can happen: 1. a station connects and is added 2. first, it is added to the driver 3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was present yet. Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA sessions in the meantime.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

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.

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.

2014-02-12ieee80211: Print human-readable disassoc/deauth reason codesCalvin Owens
Create a function to return a descriptive string for each reason code, and print that in addition to the numeric value in the kernel log. These codes are easily found on popular search engines, but one is generally not able to access the internet when dealing with wireless connectivity issues.

2014-02-12mac80211: simplify roc check in idle calculationJohannes Berg
There's no need to start iterating the list only to break on the first item, just use !list_empty() and also simplify the whole conditional into a single expression. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-12mac80211: send control port protocol frames to the VO queueFelix Fietkau
Improves reliability of wifi connections with WPA, since authentication frames are prioritized over normal traffic and also typically exempt from aggregation. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
