When we disassociate, we set the channel to non-HT which obviously invalidates any ht_operation_mode setting. But when we then associate with the next AP again, we might still have the ht_operation_mode from the previous AP cached and fail to configure the hardware with the new (but unchanged) operation mode. This patch fixes it by separately tracking whether our cache is valid. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

There really is no need to have a separate struct for a single variable. The fact that it exists is due to the code legacy, but we can remove that now. Very simple. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

The call to ieee80211_hw_config() is supposed to apply changes synchronously, so once it returns the parameters are applied to the hardware. Thus, there really is no need to delay the probing by the channel switch time again since the channel switch has already happened once we get to this code. Additionally, there is no need to wait for a NAV update (probe delay) when the channel is passively scanned. Remove that extra time too. This cuts scanning time from over 7 seconds to under 4 on ar9170, which is due to the number of channels scanned and ar9170's switch time being advertised as 135ms (my test now indicates it is about 77ms with the current driver, but the difference might also be due to using a different machine with different USB controllers).

When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, unprotected Robust Action frames are not allowed prior to key configuration. However, unprotected Deauthentication and Disassociation frames are allowed at that point, but not after key configuration. Make ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() handle the special cases for MFP by separating the basic Data frame case from Management frame processing and handle the Management frames only if MFP has been negotiated. In addition, do not use sdata->drop_unencrypted for Management frames since the decision on whether to accept the frame depends on the key being configured.

When using nl80211, we do not have a mechanism to set sdata->drop_unencrypted. Currently, this breaks code that is supposed to drop unencrypted frames when protection is expected since ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() is optimized to not set rx->key when the frame is not protected. This patch modifies ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt() to set rx->key for all frames and only skip decryption if the frame is not protected. This allows ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() to correctly drop frames even if drop_unencrypted is not set. The changes here are not enough to handle all cases, though. Additional patches will be needed to implement proper IEEE 802.1X PAE for station mode (currently, this is only used for AP mode) and some additional rules are needed for MFP to drop unprotected Robust Action frames prior to having PTK and IGTK configured. In theory, the unprotected frames could and should be dropped in ieee80211_rx_h_decrypt(). However, due to the special case with EAPOL frames that have to be allowed to be received unprotected even when keys are set, it is simpler to only set rx->key and allow the ieee80211_frame_allowed() function to handle the actual dropping of data frames after 802.11->802.3 header conversion. In addition, unprotected robust management frames are dropped before they are processed. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

The function to parse a struct iw_freq has a stupid bug, it returns NULL when the channel cannot be found at all, but NULL is supposed to mean "auto". Fix this by checking the return value of ieee80211_get_channel() and returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) if it returned NULL (channel not found). This fixes an issue where you could say (in IBSS mode) iwconfig wlan0 channel 21 and it would use channel 1 instead because that's the first available channel with IBSS allowed (which is what the "auto" setting uses).

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".

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_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).

after the recent changes to wired drivers to use only netif_carrier_off the driver can have outstanding tx work to complete that will never complete once link is down. Since the intel hardware will hold this tx work forever, the driver notices a tx timeout condition internally and might try to instigate printk and reset of the part with a netif_stop_queue, which doesn't work because link is down. Don't bother arming to tx hang detection when link is down.

We weren't logging the 82598AT fan failure if it occurred before (ixgbe_open) as we hadn't sent up to catch the interrupt that event caused. This patch checks for this failure in: ixgbe_probe - So we can log the failure asap. We check right after we set up the adapter->flags, which is when we know that we have a fan. ixgbe_up_complete - To catch failures that may have happened between probe and when we set up the interrupt that would normally detect the fan failure. To enable all of this we need to initialize the adapter flag with IXGBE_FLAG_FAN_FAIL_CAPABLE when the NIC contained a fan.

Add barrier() to bnx2_get_hw_{tx|rx}_cons() to fix this issue: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12698 This issue was reported by multiple i386 users. Without barrier(), the compiled code looks like the following where %eax contains the address of the tx_cons or rx_cons in the DMA status block. The status block contents can change between the cmpb and the movzwl instruction. The driver would crash if the value was not 0xff during the cmpb instruction, but changed to 0xff during the movzwl instruction. 6828: 80 38 ff cmpb $0xff,(%eax) 682b: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx With the added barrier(), the compiled code now looks correct: 683d: 0f b7 10 movzwl (%eax),%edx 6840: 0f b6 c2 movzbl %dl,%eax 6843: 3d ff 00 00 00 cmp $0xff,%eax Thanks to Pascal de Bruijn <pmjdebruijn@pcode.nl> for reporting the problem and Holger Noefer <hnoefer@pironet-ndh.com> for patiently testing test patches for us.
