      mac80211: set default QoS values according to spec · aa837e1d
      Johannes Berg authored
      We've never really cared about the default QoS (WMM) values, but
      we really should if the AP doesn't send any. This patch makes
      mac80211 use the default values according to 802.11-2007, and
      additionally syncs the default values when we disassociate so
      whatever the last AP said gets "unconfigured".

      mac80211: fix scan channel race · 58905ca5
      Johannes Berg authored
      When a software scan starts, it first sets sw_scanning, but
      leaves the scan_channel "unset" (it currently actually gets
      initialised to a default). Now, when something else tries
      to (re)configure the hardware in the window between these two
      events (after sw_scanning = true, but before scan_channel is
      set), the current code switches to the (unset!) scan_channel.
      This causes trouble, especially when switching bands and
      sending frames on the wrong channel.
      
      To work around this, leave scan_channel initialised to NULL
      and use it to determine whether or not a switch to a different
      channel should occur (and also use the same condition to check
      whether to adjust power for scan or not).
      
      Additionally, avoid reconfiguring the hardware completely when
      recalculating idle resulted in no changes, this was the problem
      that originally led us to discover the race condition in the
      first place, which was helpfully bisected by Pavel. This part
      of the patch should not be necessary with the other fixes, but
      not calling the ieee80211_hw_config function when we know it to
      be unnecessary is certainly a correct thing to do.
      
      Unfortunately, this patch cannot and does not fix the race
      condition completely, but due to the way the scan code is
      structured it makes the particular problem Pavel discovered
      (race while changing channel at the same time as transmitting
      frames) go away. To fix it completely, more work especially
      with locking configuration is needed.

      nl80211 : Add support for configuring MFP · dc6382ce
      Jouni Malinen authored
      NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE request must be able to indicate whether
      management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is being used. mac80211 was
      able to use MFP in client mode only with WEXT, but the new
      NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute will allow this to be done with
      nl80211, too.
      
      Since we are currently using nl80211 for MFP only with drivers that
      use user space SME, only MFP disabled and required values are
      used. However, the NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute is an enum that can
      be extended with MFP optional in the future, if that is needed with
      some drivers (e.g., if the RSN IE is generated by the driver).
