In case of connection, the station data is initialised from the beacon/probe response first and then updated from the association response. If the latter is different we update the rate control algorithm and driver. Instead of doing it this way, set the station data properly with data from the association response before initializing rate control. Also simplify the code by passing the station pointer.

With VHT, a station can change the number of spatial streams it can receive on the fly, not unlike spatial multiplexing in HT. Prepare for that by tracking the maximum number of spatial streams it can receive when the connection is established. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Define the action frame format, the VHT category and its action types and the field format and EID for operating mode notifications. The frame may be used outside of VHT context as well, so don't include "VHT" in the names. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

Like with HT, make things a bit simpler in future patches by passing the station to ieee80211_vht_cap_ie_to_sta_vht_cap() instead of the vht_cap pointer. Also disable VHT here if HT isn't supported. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Since no driver calls the TKIP functions from interrupt context, there's no need to use spin_lock_irqsave(). Just use spin_lock_bh() (and spin_lock() in the TX path where we're in a BH or they're already disabled.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In some cases when disconnecting after (or during?) CSA the queues might not recover, and then the only way to recover is reloading the module.

Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface, which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it. While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so also prevent that and warn on it.

In my commit 1672c0e3 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

A few mesh utility functions will call ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify(), and then the caller might notify the driver of the same change again. Avoid this redundancy by propagating the BSS changes and generally calling bss_info_change_notify() once per change.

When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent. If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key. This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry.

The match 00:xx:00:00:xx:00:00:00:00:xx:xx:xx (where xx indicates "don't care") should be represented by a pattern of twelve zero bytes, and a mask of "0xed,0x01", not "0xed,0x07". mask_len = (pat_len + 7) / 8 = (12 + 7) / 8 = 2 Hence the mask will be of 2 bytes. Replace each valid byte in pattern by 1 and don't care byte by 0: 10110111 1000 (0000) 1st byte of pattern corresponds to lower order bit in first byte of mask. And 9th byte of pattern corresponds to lower order bit in second byte of mask. With this logic the mask will be 11101101 00000001 = 0xed 0x01 Signed-off-by: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

We've got a couple of races when enabling powersave with an AP for off-channel operation. The first is fairly simple. If we go off-channel before the nullfunc frame to enable PS is transmitted then it may not be received by the AP. Add a flush after enabling off-channel PS to prevent this from happening. The second race is a bit more subtle. If the driver supports QoS and has frames queued when the nullfunc frame is queued, those frames may get transmitted after the nullfunc frame. If PM is not set then the AP is being told that we've exited PS before we go off-channel and may try to deliver frames. To prevent this, add a flush after stopping the queues but before passing the nullfunc frame to the driver.

Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There are only a few drivers that use HW scan, and all of those don't need a non-idle transition before starting the scan -- some don't even care about idle at all.

In order to be able to predict the next DTIM TBTT in the driver, add the ability to use timing data from beacons only with the new hardware flag IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY and the BSS info value sync_dtim_count which is only valid if the timing data came from a beacon. The data can only come from a beacon, and if no beacon was received before association it is updated later together with the DTIM count notification.

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.

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.

Currently the code assigns channel contexts to VLANs (for use by the TX/RX code) when the AP master gets its channel context assigned. This works fine, but in the upcoming radar detection work the VLANs don't require a channel context (during radar detection) and assigning one to them anyway causes issues with locking and also inconsistencies -- a VLAN interface that is added before radar detection would get the channel context, while one added during it wouldn't. Fix these issues moving the channel context copying to a new explicit operation that will not be used in the radar detection code.
