The patch "Implement set_tim callback for all drivers" can cause kernel oops in rt73usb_write_beacon. The oops is caused by one of the following race conditions: * In case of two near calls to set_tim: rt2x00lib_beacondone_iter is cleaning the beacon skb, whereas rt73usb_write_beacon is still using it. * In case of two near updates of beacon: first as the result of set_tim and second as the result of a call from an application (e.g. hostapd). This patch fixes the race condition by rearranging the update logic and guarding rt2x00_intf->beacon->skb with a mutex. Signed-off-by:

Small changes in signal level was not detected up by the MOVING_AVERAGE() due to a rounding error, using 'int' type. rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity_eval: rssi: -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 rssi_avg: -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 The signal level reported back could be significantly (5dBm) different from the actual value. A level +3dBm is the same as double the AP output power. Signed-off-by:

Antanna quality statistics is not handled correctly, which leads to software diversity being shutdown completly. The main problem is that during antenna diversity statistics can be reset resulting in loosing the signal strength just before evaluation. rssi history is not updated correctly leading to incorrect comparison material for basing antenna switching on.

Elsewhere, the tqi_type field is compared to constants having a name beginning with AR5K_TX_QUEUE, rather than AR5K_TX_QUEUE_ID. I have thus converted AR5K_TX_QUEUE_ID_CAB to AR5K_TX_QUEUE_CAB. This does, however, change the value, so perhaps something else was wanted. Signed-off-by:

"cfg80211: validate channel settings across interfaces" contained a locking bug -- in the managed-mode SIWFREQ call it would end up running into a lock recursion. This fixes it by not checking that particular interface for a channel that it needs to stay on, which is as it should be as that's the interface we're setting the channel for. Reported-by:

Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211) we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the sleep command. Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due to requiring more testing. The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking latency requirements. This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device) when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is not of big concern. Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs to allow easier testing of such parameters. Signed-off-by:

Some of the thermal throttle data structures and code are really very intermingled with the sleep (power) control code. They really do belong together in a way since the thermal throttle code uses powersaving to achieve its goal, but it's making it hard to work on the powersave code. Split this up to make that easier. I've also changed the antenna defines to an enum and used the same enum for RX and TX. Signed-off-by:

For legacy thermal throttling, set the new Thermal Throttling state and change power index when thermal throttling manager detects temperature changed. The current implementation sets the state to the previous Thermal Throttling state, which causes system to enter wrong power index. The worse case, it will trying to set the lower power index when device reach critical temperature, it will cuase issue for both system and the device. Signed-off-by:

commit "iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout" introduced a more reliable mechanism for ucode loading. Unfortunately we hit a problem with it frequently enough to make a 4965 unusable. The problem can be seen in debug log below. What this code attempts is to set runtime ucode up to load, start a timer to wait for the alive response from runtime ucode, and if it times out it tries again. As can be seen below we receive the alive response and wake the waiting task _before_ the tasks starts waiting. The task thus times out as the alive response is not received while it is waiting for it and it restarts the device. This starts the cycle all over again.

The traffic buffer will only beallocated and used if either bit 23 (IWL_DX_TX) or bit 24 (IWL_DL_RX) of "debug" is set; example: "debug=0x800000" - log tx data traffic "debug=0x1000000" - log rx data traffic "debug=0x1800000" - log both tx and rx traffic The traffic log will store the beginning portion (64 bytes) of the latest 256 of tx and rx packets in the round-robbin buffer for debugging, user can examine the log through debugfs file. How to display the current logged tx/rx traffic and txfifo and rxfifo read/write point: "cat traffic_log" in /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlagn/debug directory By echo "0" to traffic_log file will empty the traffic log buffer and reset both tx and rx taffic log index to 0.

Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi device and in these setups there is a requirement that debug levels should be unique per device. We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the cleanup effort of the previous patch. The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter. Signed-off-by:

The memory layout for scan requests was rather wrong, we put the scan SSIDs before the channels which could lead to the channel pointers being unaligned in memory. It turns out that using a pointer to the channel array isn't necessary anyway since we can embed a zero-length array into the struct. Signed-off-by:

If we have a lot of frames to transmit at once, for instance with fragmentation, it can be an optimisation to only tell the DMA engine about them on the last fragment/frame to avoid banging the IO too much. This patch allows implementation such an optimisation by telling the driver when more frames can be expected. Currently, this is used by mac80211 only on fragmented frames, but could also be used in the future on other frames when the queue was full and there are multiple frames pending. Note that drivers need to be careful when using this flag, they need to kick their DMA engines not just when this flag is clear, but also when the queue gets full so that progress can be made.

In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number in each dump message that indicates whether the list has changed or not -- its value is arbitrary. This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or stations. The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be stored there as well. Signed-off-by:

With the move of everything related to the SME from mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips. This patch addresses only the immediate regression we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc. Signed-off-by:

Currently, there's a problem that affects regulatory enforcement and connection stability, in that it is possible to switch the channel while connected to a network or joined to an IBSS. The problem comes from the fact that we only validate the channel against the current interface's type, not against any other interface. Thus, you have any type of interface up, additionally bring up a monitor mode interface and switch the channel on the monitor. This will obviously also switch the channel on the other interface. The problem now is that if you do that while sending beacons for IBSS mode, you can switch to a disabled channel or a channel that doesn't allow beaconing. Combined with a managed mode interface connected to an AP instead of an IBSS interface, you can easily break the connection that way. To fix this, this patch validates any channel change with all available interfaces, and disallows such changes on secondary interfaces if another interface is connected to an AP or joined to an IBSS.
