Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

By placing the iv_len into the tx descriptor data and by passing this data to the crypto IV handlers we can save multiple calls to ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb() and some if-statements when copying/removing the IV data from the outgoing frame.

commit 8e218fb2 reverted the previous patch (commit 925be8a3). The C99 specification states in section 6.11.5: The placement of a storage-class specifier other than at the beginning of the declaration specifiers in a declaration is an obsolescent feature.

If the IE buffer was allocated, the pub.information_elements pointer was also changed to the allocated space. So we must not assume anymore that the pointer points at the "found" tail. So if it was allocated previously, take the codebranch that grows the buffer size (if necessary) and put the data into the allocated buffer.

This removes an unnecessary ksize() call. krealloc() will do this test internally and won't perform any allocation if the space is already sufficient to hold the data. So remove the redundant check.

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!) And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register. So, this annoying _feature_ will not break TX A-MPDU later. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@web.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Due to the use of a _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE bit, which is unnecessary (and I wonder why it was done that way), an interesting situation can arise: 1) we try to probe an access point 2) the AP doesn't response in time 3) we tell userspace that we gave up 4) the AP suddenly responds 5) we auth/assoc with the AP I've seen 4) happen in testing with hostapd SIGSTOPped, and when SIGCONTinued it processes the probe requests that came in and send responses. But 5) is not supposed to happen after we tell everybody we've given up on the AP. To fix this, remove the _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE request bit, and process probe responses when we're in the relevant MLME state, namely IEEE80211_STA_MLME_DIRECT_PROBE.

In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers for all operations. All calls are now written as drv_<op>(local, ...); instead of local->ops-><op>(&local->hw, ...); Where necessary, the wrappers also do existence checking and return default values as appropriate.

The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most other BSS information for each interface.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.

There are some places marked /* XXX maybe racy? */ and they really are racy because there's no locking. This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning (which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work will then take care of the rest. Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an interface that is associating. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

When somebody changes the PS parameters while scanning is in progress, we enable PS -- during the scan.

There are a few problems in the IBSS code: a) it tries to activate interfaces that are down after scanning b) it crashes after scanning on an IBSS iface that isn't active c) since the ssid_len is used as a flag, need to make it visible only after all other settings are set, this helps protect against b) For b), we get a system crash: wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID ce:f9:88:76:1e:4d BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<...>] ieee80211_sta_find_ibss+0x294/0x37d [mac80211] Call Trace: [<...>] ieee80211_ibss_notify_scan_completed+0x0/0x88 [mac80211] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with all older kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.

Based almost entirely upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. The common case is to have num-tx-queues <= num_rx_queues and even if num_tx_queues is larger it will not be significantly larger. Therefore, a subtraction loop is always going to be faster than modulus. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The kernel should only be using the high 16 bits of a kernel generated priority. Filter priorities in all other cases only use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto', but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all 32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter needs to be deleted or modified.
