The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next. An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that code. Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first argument. Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes. Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several of these merge resolutions. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2013-04-22mac80211: improve the rate control APIFelix Fietkau
Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

2013-04-22mac80211: use synchronize_rcu() with rcu_barrier()Bob Copeland
The RCU docs used to state that rcu_barrier() included a wait for an RCU grace period; however the comments for rcu_barrier() as of commit f0a0e6f... "rcu: Clarify memory-ordering properties of grace-period primitives" contradict this. So add back synchronize_{rcu,net}() to where they once were, but keep the rcu_barrier()s for the call_rcu() callbacks.

2013-04-22mac80211: indicate admission control in TX queue parametersAlexander Bondar
Some driver implementations need to know whether mandatory admission control is required by the AP for some ACs. Add a parameter to the TX queue parameters indicating this. As there's currently no support for admission control in mac80211's AP implementation, it's only ever set for the client implementation.

2013-04-18mac80211: fix P2P-Device management frame RXJohannes Berg
There's an issue in receiving broadcast management frames on P2P Device virtual interfaces, such frames have the RX flag IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH cleared and are thus dropped in ieee80211_rx_h_mgmt_check().

2013-04-17mac80211: fix station entry leak/warning while suspendingJohannes Berg
Since Stanislaw's patches, when suspending while connected, cfg80211 will disconnect. This causes the AP station to be removed, which uses call_rcu() to clean up. Due to needing process context, this queues a work struct on the mac80211 workqueue. This will warn and fail when already suspended, which can happen if the rcu call doesn't happen quickly. To fix this, replace the synchronize_net() which is really just synchronize_rcu_expedited() with rcu_barrier(), which unlike synchronize_rcu() waits until RCU callback have run and thus avoids this issue. In theory, this can even happen without Stanislaw's change to disconnect on suspend since userspace might disconnect just before suspending, though then it's unlikely that the call_rcu() will be delayed long enough.

2013-04-16mac80211: fix CTS protection handlingFelix Fietkau

2013-04-16mac80211: fix and optimize MCS mask handlingFelix Fietkau
Currently the code always copies the configured MCS mask (even if it is set to default), but only uses it if legacy rates were also masked out. Fix this by adding a flag that tracks whether the configured MCS mask is set to default or not. Optimize the code further by storing a pointer to the configured rate mask in txrc instead of using memcpy.

2013-04-16mac80211: adjust initial chandefs assignments in ieee80211_register_hwKarl Beldan
I noticed that monitor interfaces by default would start on 5GHz while STA/AP ones would start 2GHZ - It stems from the fact that ieee80211_register_hw unnecessarily adjusts the local->monitor_chandef for each band. This avoids this and while at it uses a single dflt_chandef to initialize in one go local->{hw.conf.chandef,_oper_chandef,monitor_chandef} Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-16mac80211: remove warning from ieee80211_beacon_lossAlexander Bondar
Currently, mac80211 assumes that connection monitor offload for BSS station implies that the device: - sends periodic keep alive packets to associated AP - monitors missed beacons - actively probes the AP in case of missed beacons In case of poor connection conditions it expects the function ieee80211_connection_loss() to be called by driver. However, some devices implement connection monitor offload excluding active AP probing. To allow them to call ieee80211_beacon_loss() cleanly, remove the warning there and thus allow them to use mac80211 for the AP probing even if connection monitor offload is supported.

2013-04-16mac80211: parse VHT channel switch IEsJohannes Berg
VHT introduces multiple IEs that need to be parsed for a wide bandwidth channel switch. Two are (currently) needed in mac80211: * wide bandwidth channel switch element * channel switch wrapper element The former is contained in the latter for beacons and probe responses, but not for the spectrum management action frames so the IE parser needs a new argument to differentiate them.

2013-04-16mac80211: support secondary channel offset in CSAJohannes Berg
Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling of CSA on HT access points. For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular, the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-11mac80211: always pick a basic rate to tx RTS/CTS for pre-HT ratesKarl Beldan
When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the data rate"(code comments). But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its 1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic rate index. This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in this situation. Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates.

2013-04-10mac80211: fix cfg80211 interaction on auth/assoc requestJohannes Berg
If authentication (or association with FT) is requested by userspace, mac80211 currently doesn't tell cfg80211 that it disconnected from the AP. That leaves inconsistent state: cfg80211 thinks it's connected while mac80211 thinks it's not. Typically this won't last long, as soon as mac80211 reports the new association to cfg80211 the old one goes away. If, however, the new authentication or association doesn't succeed, then cfg80211 will forever think the old one still exists and will refuse attempts to authenticate or associate with the AP it thinks it's connected to. Anders reported that this leads to it taking a very long time to reconnect to a network, or never even succeeding. I tested this with an AP hacked to never respond to auth frames, and one that works, and with just those two the system never recovers because one won't work and cfg80211 thinks it's connected to the other so refuses connections to it. To fix this, simply make mac80211 tell cfg80211 when it is no longer connected to the old AP, while authenticating or associating to a new one.

When a device is unplugged while suspended, mac80211 is de-initialized and all interfaces are removed while no state is actually present in the driver. This can cause warnings and driver confusion. Fix this by reordering the do_stop code to not call the driver when it is suspended, i.e. when there's no state in the driver anyway.
