Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period, mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association. This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the association, if they get it at all. To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM becomes known. This might be when changing to associated, or later when the entire association was done with only probe response information. Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period now, just not before association.

The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs, there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates. Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when enabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The warning here occasionally triggers but we haven't found the cause yet. It's a valid warning since if it triggers the SME state got confused, so add the SME state to it to help narrow it down in the future. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Add API to enable drivers to implement MAC address based access control in AP/P2P GO mode. Capable drivers advertise this capability by setting the maximum number of MAC addresses in such a list in wiphy->max_acl_mac_addrs. An initial ACL may be given to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP command and/or changed later with NL80211_CMD_SET_MAC_ACL. Black- and whitelists are supported, but not simultaneously.

gcc cannot prove that the value of sdata->vif.type does not change between the switch() statement and the second comparison to NL80211_IFTYPE_AP, causing a harmless warning. Slightly reordering the code makes the warning go away with no functional change. Without this patch, building ARM at91sam9g45_defconfig with gcc-4.6 results in: net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit': net/mac80211/tx.c:1797:22: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: "John W.

This refactoring fixes a "scheduling while atomic" warning when allocating a mesh station entry while holding the RCU read lock. Fix this by creating a new function mesh_sta_info_get(), which correctly handles the locking and returns under RCU. Also move some unnecessarily #ifdefed mesh station init code from sta_info_alloc() to __mesh_sta_info_alloc().

For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done, like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens in the following way: - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested - driver marks TID as emptying - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets to the TX pending queues and also let new packets through to the driver - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely converted to the new API In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 Tx while agg.state = 4 Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:0 Tainted: G W 3.1.0 #1 Call Trace: [<c1046e42>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<c1046f13>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x40 [<fddffa17>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 [iwldvm] [<fddfcaa3>] iwlagn_mac_tx+0x23/0x40 [iwldvm] [<fd8c98b6>] __ieee80211_tx+0xf6/0x3c0 [mac80211] [<fd8cbe00>] ieee80211_tx+0xd0/0x100 [mac80211] [<fd8cc176>] ieee80211_xmit+0x96/0xe0 [mac80211] [<fd8cc578>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x348/0xc80 [mac80211] [<c1445207>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x337/0x6d0 [<c145eee9>] sch_direct_xmit+0xa9/0x210 [<c14462c0>] dev_queue_xmit+0x1b0/0x8e0 Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race just let the race not reach the drivers by making two changes: 1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in the managed mode code, the same thing will be done when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy. 2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped. It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta later, but until then any racy packets will be put onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted which is fine since the station is being removed.

Dropping packets from aggregation sessions is usually not a good idea, as it might upset the synchronization of the BlockAck receive window of the remote node. The use of the retry_tx parameter to reset/tx-drain functions also seemed a bit arbitrary. This patch removes this parameter altogether and ensures that pending tx frames are not dropped for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

When AP responds with appropriate status code, we forward that code correctly to cfg80211. But sometimes when there is no response from AP, our firmware uses proprietary status codes. We will map authentication timeout to WLAN_STATUS_AUTH_TIMEOUT and other proprietary codes to WLAN_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE.

Since rt2800 hardware isn't capable of reporting the TX status of BlockAckReq frames implement the TX status handling of BARs in rt2x00lib. We keep track of all BARs that are send out and try to match incoming BAs to the appropriate BARs. This allows us to report a more or less accurate TX status for BAR frames which in turn improves BA session stability. This is loosley based on Christian Lamparter's patch for carl9170 "carl9170: fix HT peer BA session corruption". We have to walk the list of pending BARs for every rx'red BA even though most BAs don't belong to any of these BARs as they are just acknowledging an AMPDU. To keep that overhead low use RCU which allows us to walk the list of pending BARs without the need to acquire a lock. This however requires us to _copy_ relevant information from the BAR (RA, TA, control field, start sequence number) into our BAR list entry.
