c6adbd2158 mac80211: Add IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
This adds a new flag to the ieee80211_key_conf structure.
This flag will inform the driver the key is pairwise rather then
a shared key.

This is important for drivers who support both types of keys,
and need to be informed which type of key this is. Alternative
would be drivers checking the address argument of set_key(),
but it will be safer when mac80211 is more explicit.

1c01442058 mac80211: Replace ieee80211_tx_control->key_idx with ieee80211_key_conf
The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does
not provide all the information drivers might need to perform
hardware encryption.

This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the
key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key.

By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that
drivers can make full use of all information that it should know
about a particular key.

Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from
the ieee80211_key_conf structure.

v2: Removed bogus u16 cast
v3: Add warning about ieee80211_tx_control pointers
v4: Update warning about ieee80211_tx_control pointers

339a7c41c9 mac80211: Do not free net device after it is unregistered.
The error path in ieee80211_register_hw() may call the unregister_netdev()
and right after it - the free_netdev(), which is wrong, since the
unregister releases the device itself.

So the proposed fix is to NULL the local->mdev after unregister is done
and check this before calling free_netdev().

I checked - no code uses the local->mdev after unregister in this error
path (but even if some did this would be a BUG).

a46f025d05 mac80211: Fix n-band association problem
There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while
parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems).
Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE.
While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie.
If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request.
So n-only association fails.
And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie,
which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

245cbe7a65 mac80211: fix key todo list order
When we add multiple todo entries, we rely on them being executed
mostly in the right order, especially when a key is being replaced.
But when a default key is replaced, the todo list order will differ
from the order when the key being replaced is not a default key, so
problems will happen. Hence, just move each todo item to the end of
the list when it is added so we can in the other code ensure that
hw accel for a key will be disabled before it is enabled for the
replacement.

d18ef29f34 mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning
There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed
during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which
we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as
the beacons are received without scanning.

This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic.
The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we
do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be
atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or
ioctl in all other instances.

3b96766f0e mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems
Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
so we cannot do things atomically.

This patch changes key locking completely:
 * key operations are now atomic
 * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
   a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
 * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
 * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
   unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
   keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
   run before STA destruction.
 * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
   required due to key operations

This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
as much.

Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

49ec6fa220 mac80211: fix possible sta-debugfs work lockup
Because we queue the sta-debugfs-adding work on our mac80211
workqueue (which needs to be flushed under RTNL) and that work
needs the RTNL, it can currently deadlock, thanks to Reinette
Chatre for pointing out the lockdep warning about this.

This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel
workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate.

It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the
debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently
it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver
before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead
to bugs.

save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of

fab7d4a2b1 mac80211: filter scan results on unusable channels
When you have an AP on channel 13, it will currently often enough
be listed in scan results even when the regulatory domain restricts
to channels 1-11. This is due to channel overlap. To avoid getting
very strange failures, don't show such APs in the scan results. The
failure mode will now go from "I can see the AP but not associate"
to "I can't see the AP although I know it's there" which is easier
to debug.

44213b5e13 mac80211: remove STA entries when taking down interface
When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!

A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

73651ee639 mac80211: split sta_info_add
sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.

This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in
a follow-up patch.

now somewhat understandable.

by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under

050ac52cbe mac80211: code for on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol
This file implements the on-demand Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol, at this moment
using hop-count as the metric. When no mesh path exists for a given destination
or the mesh path is not active, frames addressed to that destination will be
queued and a Path Request frame will be sent. Queued frames will be sent when
the path is resolved (usually after reception of a Path Response) or discarded
if discovery times out. Path Requests will also be sent to refresh paths that
are being used and are close to expiring.

Path Errors are sent when a path discovery process triggered by the attempt to
forward a frame originated in a different mesh point times out. Path Errors are
also sent when a peer link is determined to be unreachable because of high error
rates.

Multiple destination support in Path Requests and Path Errors and precursors
have not been implemented yet.

eb2b9311fd mac80211: mesh path table implementation
The mesh path table associates destinations with the next hop to reach them. The
table is a hash of linked lists protected by rcu mechanisms. Every mesh path
contains a lock to protect the mesh path state.

Each outgoing mesh frame requires a look up into this table. Therefore, the
table it has been designed so it is not necessary to hold any lock to find the
appropriate next hop.

If the path is determined to be active within a rcu context we can safely
dereference mpath->next_hop->addr, since it holds a reference to the sta
next_hop. After a mesh path has been set active for the first time it next_hop
must always point to a valid sta.  If this is not possible the mpath must be
deleted or replaced in a RCU safe fashion.

Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted
by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops,
it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast
mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number
of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range
of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions
would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1).

9d9bf77d16 mac80211: enable IBSS merging
enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID
and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its
BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11
standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many
cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour.

* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.

* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data
symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since
this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able
to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be
enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary.

* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.

* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.

* to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.

8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

It also makes both rate control algorithms proper modules again

b580781e03 mac80211: A-MPDU Rx handling aggregation reordering
This patch handles the reordering of the Rx A-MPDU.
This issue occurs when the sequence of the internal MPDUs is not in the
right order. such a case can be encountered for example when some MPDUs from
previous aggregations were recieved, while others failed, so current A-MPDU
will contain a mix of re-transmited MPDUs and new ones.

Although this separation has no affect in regular mode of operation, this kind

of frames during pre-handling, dispatching them to later handling when necessary.

69f817b654 mac80211: Restore rx.fc before every invocation of ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers
This patch fixes a problem with rx handling on multiple interfaces. Especially
when using hardware-scanning and a wireless driver (i.e. iwlwifi) which is
able to receive data while scanning.

The rx handlers can modify the skb and the frame control field (see
ieee80211_rx_h_remove_qos_control) but since every interface gets its own
copy of the skb each should get its own copy of rx.fc too.

In my case the wlan0-interface did not remove the qos-control from the frame
because the corresponding flag in rx.fc was already removed while processing
the frame on the master interface. Therefore somehow corrupted frames were
passed to the userspace.

7d54d0ddd6 mac80211: allow easier multicast/broadcast buffering in hardware
There are various decisions influencing the decision whether to buffer
a frame for after the next DTIM beacon. The "do we have stations in PS
mode" condition cannot be tested by the driver so mac80211 has to do
that. To ease driver writing for hardware that can buffer frames until
after the next DTIM beacon, introduce a new txctl flag telling the
driver to buffer a specific frame.

While at it, restructure and comment the code for multicast buffering
and remove spurious "inline" directives.

c21b39aca4 mac80211: make PID rate control algorithm the default
This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.

The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.

While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

 - ieee80211_conf: ht_conf holds current self HT configuration
                   ht_bss_conf holds current BSS HT configuration
 - flag IEEE80211_CONF_SUPPORT_HT_MODE added to indicate if HT use is
   desired

e38bad4766 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl
Interface iteration in mac80211 can be done without holding any
locks because I converted it to RCU. Initially, I thought this
wouldn't be needed for ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces but
it's turning out that multi-BSS AP support can be much simpler
in a driver if ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces can be called
without holding locks. This converts it to use RCU, it adds a
requirement that the callback it invokes cannot sleep.

76ee65bfaa mac80211: restructuring data Rx handlers
This patch restructures the Rx handlers chain by incorporating previously
handlers ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae and ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted
into ieee80211_rx_h_data, already in 802.3 form. this scheme follows more
precisely after the IEEE802.11 data plane archituecture, and will prevent
code duplication to IEEE8021.11n A-MSDU handler.

added function:
 - ieee80211_data_to_8023: transfering 802.11 data frames to 802.3 frame
 - ieee80211_deliver_skb: delivering the 802.3 frames to upper stack
eliminated handlers:
 - ieee80211_rx_h_drop_unencrypted: now function ieee80211_drop_unencrypted
 - ieee80211_rx_h_802_1x_pae: now function ieee80211_802_1x_pae
changed handlers:
 - ieee80211_rx_h_data: now contains calls to four above function

ece8edddf0 mac80211: hardware scan rework
The scan code in mac80211 makes the software scan assumption in various
places. For example, we stop the Tx queue during a software scan so that
all the Tx packets will be queued by the stack. We also drop frames not
related to scan in the software scan process. But these are not true for
hardware scan.

Some wireless hardwares (for example iwl3945/4965) has the ability to
perform the whole scan process by hardware and/or firmware. The hardware
scan is relative powerful in that it tries to maintain normal network
traffic while doing a scan in the background. Some drivers (i.e iwlwifi)
do provide a way to tune the hardware scan parameters (for example if the
STA is associated, what's the max time could the STA leave from the
associated channel, how long the scans get suspended after returning to
the service channel, etc). But basically this is transparent to the
stack. mac80211 should not stop Tx queues or drop Rx packets during a
hardware scan.

This patch resolves the above problem by spliting the current scan
indicator local->sta_scanning into local->sta_sw_scanning and
local->sta_hw_scanning. It then changes the scan related code to be aware
of hardware scan or software scan in various places. With this patch,
iwlwifi performs much better in the scan-while-associated condition and
disable_hw_scan=1 should never be required.

dabeb344f5 mac80211: provide interface iterator for drivers
Sometimes drivers need to know which interfaces are associated with
their hardware. Rather than forcing those drivers to keep track of
the interfaces that were added, this adds an iteration function to
mac80211.

As it is intended to be used from the interface add/remove callbacks,
the iteration function may currently only be called under RTNL.

6a4329554c mac80211: Accept auto txpower setting
This changes the SIWTXPOWER ioctl to also accept a txpower setting of
"automatic". Since mac80211 currently cannot tell drivers to automatically
adjust tx power, we select the tx power level of the current channel. While
this is kind of a hack, it certainly saves some iwconfig users from headaches.

When using recvfrom() on a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket, I noticed that the MAC
address passed back for wireless frames was always completely wrong. The
reason for this is that the header parse function assigned to our virtual
interfaces is a function parsing an 802.11 rather than 802.3 header. This
patch fixes it by keeping the default ethernet header operations assigned.
