The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been something that I wanted to get rid of, this finally does the conversion to atomic bitops. The conversion itself is straight-forward in most places, a few things needed to change a bit since we can no longer use multiple bits at the same time. On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code size reduction: text data bss dec hex 427861 23648 1008 452517 6e7a5 before 425383 23648 976 450007 6ddd7 after Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received) there is no way to detect that since it has no sequence number. As a consequence, the standard asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost). Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual. We could use separate flags, but that will most likely completely confuse drivers, and while the standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite problematic.

For PS-poll, there's a possible race between us expiring a frame and the station polling for it -- send it a null frame in that case. For uAPSD, the standard says that we have to send a frame in each SP, so send null if we don't have any other frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not possible with all devices, so advertising it with the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that want it. Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame. For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided APIs allow releasing the right number of frames, but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data themselves. This is documented in more detail in the new code itself. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

If there are frames for a station buffered in the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM IE but there's no way to release them. Add new API to release such frames and use it when the station polls for a frame. Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD it is easily extensible. Note that before this change drivers announcing driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially lower priority frame (if there are any frames buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver that hasn't been changed will no longer respond at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need to be fixed to implement the new API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

It doesn't seem likely, but maybe possible, that the more-data bit needs to be recomputed due to changes in the queued frames. Clear it for filtered frames to ensure that we never send it incorrectly. It'll be set again as necessary when we retransmit this frame. The more likely case is maybe where the station woke up after the filtered frame in which case more-data should be clear when the frame is transmitted to the station since it is now awake.

For uAPSD support we'll need to have per-AC PS buffers. As this is a major undertaking, split the buffers before really adding support for uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will never be non-zero. Since book-keeping is complicated, also change the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a station).

mac80211 will expire normal PS-buffered frames, but if the device rejected some frames for a sleeping station, these won't be on the ps_tx_buf queue but on the tx_filtered queue instead; this is done to avoid reordering. However, mac80211 will not expire frames from the filtered queue, let's fix that. Also add a more comments to what all this expiry is doing and how it works.

Currently, the TIM bit for a given station is set and cleared all over the place. Since the logic to set/clear it will become much more complex when we add uAPSD support, as a first step let's collect the entire logic in one place. This requires a few small adjustments to other places. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus, mac80211 needs to be informed about this. For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the TIM bit to be set. ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do that anyway since there's no way to selectively release frames to the peer yet. Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will then sort out the AC mapping itself.

Mark the STA entries of enabled TDLS peers with a new "peer authorized" flag. During link setup, allow special TDLS setup frames through the AP, but otherwise drop all packets destined to the peer. This is required by the TDLS (802.11z) specification in order to prevent reordering of MSDUs between the AP and direct paths. When setup completes and the peer is authorized, send data directly, bypassing the AP. In the Rx path, allow data to be received directly from TDLS peers.

When adding a TDLS peer STA, mark it with a new flag in both nl80211 and mac80211. Before adding a peer, make sure the wiphy supports TDLS and our operating mode is appropriate (managed). In addition, make sure all peers are removed on disassociation. A TDLS peer is first added just before link setup is initiated. In later setup stages we have more info about peer supported rates, capabilities, etc. This info is reported via nl80211_set_station().

Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions. Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame, or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification. Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

Currently, when hostapd sets the station as authorized we also overwrite its uAPSD parameter. This obviously leads to buggy behaviour (later, with my patches that actually add uAPSD support). To fix this, only apply those parameters if they were actually set in nl80211, and to achieve that add a bitmap of things to apply.

wrqu->encoding.length comes from the network administrator. It's size u16. We want to limit "tocopy" to the smallest value of either "len_keys", "wrqu->encoding.length" or 100. But because .length gets cast from u16 to u8 we might use a random, smaller value than the was desired. It's probably not very serious, but we may as well fix it. Btw, this is from code auditing and not from testing. I don't know if this affects anyone in real life. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Whenever the scan request or tx_mgmt is requesting not to use CCK rate for managemet frames through NL80211_ATTR_TX_NO_CCK_RATE attribute, then mac80211 should select appropriate least non-CCK rate.

Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz without disabling 11b rates. This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame transmission.

When we cancel a scan, the completion runs only from the workqueue. This can cause the remain-on-channel scan to fail when another one was just canceled, because we're still aborting it. To fix this, run the completion inline with the lock still held before returning from iwl_scan_cancel_timeout(). Also, to avoid the scan complete work from completing a new scan prematurely, add a new STATUS_SCAN_COMPLETE bit.
