wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for scanning The rate mask is intended for use during operation, and can be set to only have masks for the currently active band. As such, it cannot be used for scanning which can be on other bands as well. Simply ignore the rate masks during scanning to avoid warnings from incorrect settings.

wifi: mac80211: simplify non-chanctx drivers There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the channel context handling.

It also simplifies parsing of the IEs somewhat, as cfg80211 already extracts the IEs and passes them to the callback.

wifi: mac80211: fix multi-BSSID element parsing When parsing a frame containing a multi-BSSID element, we need to know both the transmitted and non-transmitted BSSID so we can parse it correctly. Unfortunately, in quite a number of cases, we got this wrong and were passing the wrong BSSID or useless information: * the mgmt->bssid from a frame is only the transmitted BSSID if the frame is a beacon * passing just one of the parameters as non-NULL isn't useful and ignored In those case where we need to parse for a specific BSS we always have a BSS structure pointer, representing the BSS we need, whether transmitted or not. Thus, pass that pointer to the parsing function instead of the two BSSIDs. Also fix two bugs: * we need to re-parse all the elements for the other BSS when iterating the non-transmitted BSSes in scan * we need to parse for the correct BSS when setting up the channel data in client code Fixes: 78ac51f81532 ("mac80211: support multi-bssid") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: always allocate struct ieee802_11_elems As the 802.11 spec evolves, we need to parse more and more elements. This is causing the struct to grow, and we can no longer get away with putting it on the stack. Change the API to always dynamically allocate and return an allocated pointer that must be kfree()d later. As an alternative, I contemplated a scheme whereby we'd say in the code which elements we needed, e.g. DECLARE_ELEMENT_PARSER(elems, SUPPORTED_CHANNELS, CHANNEL_SWITCH, EXT(KEY_DELIVERY)); ieee802_11_parse_elems(..., &elems, ...); and while I think this is possible and will save us a lot since most individual places only care about a small subset of the elements, it ended up being a bit more work since a lot of places do the parsing and then pass the struct to other functions, sometimes with multiple levels.

mac80211: avoid using ext NSS high BW if not supported If the AP advertises inconsistent data, namely it has CCFS1 or CCFS2, but doesn't advertise support for 160/80+80 bandwidth or "Extended NSS BW Support", then we cannot use any MCSes in the the higher bandwidth. Thus, avoid connecting with higher bandwidth since it's less efficient that way.

mac80211: handle channel frequency offset cfg80211_chan_def and ieee80211_channel recently gained a frequency offset component. Handle this where it makes sense (potentially required by S1G channels). For IBSS, TDLS, CSA, and ROC we return -EOPNOTSUPP if a channel with frequency offset is passed, since they may or may not work. Once someone tests and verifies these commands work on thos types of channels, we can remove that error. join_ocb and join_mesh look harmless because they use a simple ieee80211_vif_use_channel(), which is using an already verified channel, so we let those through.

mac80211: fix scan when operating on DFS channels in ETSI domains In non-ETSI regulatory domains scan is blocked when operating channel is a DFS channel. For ETSI, however, once DFS channel is marked as available after the CAC, this channel will remain available (for some time) even after leaving this channel. Therefore a scan can be done without any impact on the availability of the DFS channel as no new CAC is required after the scan. Enable scan in mac80211 in these cases.

mac80211: pass bssids to elements parsing function In multiple BSSID, we have nested IEs inside the multiple BSSID IE, that override the external ones for that specific BSS. As preparation for supporting that, pass 2 BSSIDs to the parse function, the transmitter, and the selected BSSID, so it can know which IEs to choose. If the selected BSSID is NULL, the outer ones will be applied. Change ieee80211_bss_info_update to parse elements itself, instead of receiving them parsed, so we have the relevant bss entry in hand.

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc() The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

mac80211: Remove unused 'len' variable Commit 633e27132625 (mac80211: split sched scan IEs) introduced the len variable to keep track of the return value of ieee80211_build_preq_ies() but did not use it. Compiling with W=1 gives the following warning, fix it. net/mac80211/scan.c: In function ‘__ieee80211_request_sched_scan_start’: net/mac80211/scan.c:1123:9: warning: variable ‘len’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] This is a harmless warning and is only being fixed to reduce the noise with W=1 in the kernel.

nl80211: support beacon report scanning Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

mac80211: Requeue work after scan complete for all VIF types. During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs. However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC and MESH iftypes. This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.

mac80211: ignore invalid scan RSSI values Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel 2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case). The scan result ignores those invalid values and the station last signal should not be updated as well. In case the scan determines the signal to be invalid turn on the flag so the station last signal will not be updated with the value and thus user space probing for NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL and NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG will not get this invalid RSSI value.

mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possible When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

mac80211: fix scheduled scan rtnl deadlock When changing cfg80211 to use RTNL locking, this caused a deadlock in mac80211 as it calls cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped() from a work item that's on a workqueue that is flushed with the RTNL held. Fix this by simply using schedule_work(), the work only needs to finish running before the wiphy is unregistered, no other synchronisation (e.g. with suspend) is really required since for suspend userspace is already blocked anyway when we flush the workqueue so will only pick up the event after resume.

mac80211: correctly close cancelled scans __ieee80211_scan_completed is called from a worker. This means that the following flow is possible. * driver calls ieee80211_scan_completed * mac80211 cancels the scan (that is already complete) * __ieee80211_scan_completed runs When scan_work will finally run, it will see that the scan hasn't been aborted and might even trigger another scan on another band. This leads to a situation where cfg80211's scan is not done and no further scan can be issued.

mac80211: Add flushes before going off-channel We've got a couple of races when enabling powersave with an AP for off-channel operation. The first is fairly simple. If we go off-channel before the nullfunc frame to enable PS is transmitted then it may not be received by the AP. Add a flush after enabling off-channel PS to prevent this from happening. The second race is a bit more subtle. If the driver supports QoS and has frames queued when the nullfunc frame is queued, those frames may get transmitted after the nullfunc frame. If PM is not set then the AP is being told that we've exited PS before we go off-channel and may try to deliver frames. To prevent this, add a flush after stopping the queues but before passing the nullfunc frame to the driver.

mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scans Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: improve latency and throughput while software scanning Patch vastly improve latency while scanning. Slight throughput improvements were observed as well. Is intended for improve performance of voice and video applications, when scan is periodically requested by user space (i.e. default NetworkManager behaviour). Patch remove latency requirement based on PM_QOS_NETWORK_LATENCY, this value is 2000 seconds by default (i.e. approximately 0.5 hour !?!). Also remove listen interval requirement, which based on beaconing and depending on BSS parameters. It can make we stay off-channel for a second or more. Instead try to offer the best latency that we could, i.e. be off-channel no longer than PASSIVE channel scan time: 125 ms. That mean we will scan two ACTIVE channels and go back to on-channel, and one PASSIVE channel, and go back to on-channel. Patch also decrease PASSIVE channel scan time to about 110 ms. As drawback patch increase overall scan time. On my tests, when scanning both 2GHz and 5GHz bands, scanning time increase from 5 seconds up to 10 seconds. Since that increase happen only when we are associated, I think it can be acceptable. If eventually better scan time is needed for situations when we lose signal and quickly need to decide to which AP roam, additional scan flag or parameter can be introduced. I tested patch by doing: while true; do iw dev wlan0 scan; sleep 3; done > /dev/null and ping -i0.2 -c 1000 HOST on remote and local machine, results are as below: * Ping from local periodically scanning machine to AP: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/24.946/182.135/36.873 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/19.678/150.845/33.130 ms * Ping from remote machine to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.637/120.683/709.139/164.337 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.807/26.893/201.435/40.284 ms Throughput measured by scp show following results. * Upload to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 3.9MB/s 03:15 Patched: 4.3MB/s 02:58 * Download from periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 5.5MB/s 02:17 Patched: 6.2MB/s 02:02 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS. Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered by AP. To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was before.

mac80211: fix dtim_period in hidden SSID AP association When AP's SSID is hidden the BSS can appear several times in cfg80211's BSS list: once with a zero-length SSID that comes from the beacon, and once for each SSID from probe reponses. Since the mac80211 stores its data in ieee80211_bss which is embedded into cfg80211_bss, mac80211's data will be duplicated too. This becomes a problem when a driver needs the dtim_period since this data exists only in the beacon's instance in cfg80211 bss table which isn't the instance that is used when associating. Remove the DTIM period from the BSS table and track it explicitly to avoid this problem.

cfg80211: use DS or HT operation IEs to determine BSS channel Currently, mac80211 checks the DS params IE if present and uses it for the (primary) BSS channel, instead of the one that the frame was received on. This is particularly useful in the 2.4 GHz band since a frame is often received on one of the adjacent channels due to overlap. Move this code to cfg80211 so other drivers also do this. Additionally, on 5 GHz, in particular with some (possibly) upcoming changes in 802.11ai and duplicate transmissions when wider channels are used, something similar happens. So if present, also use the (primary) channel information contained in the HT operation IE. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: pass channel to ieee80211_send_probe_req In multi-channel scenarios, the channel that we will transmit a probe request on isn't always the current channel (which will be NULL anyway) but will instead be the channel that the AP is on. Pass the channel to the ieee80211_send_probe_req() function so it can be used in the different scenarios. The scan code continues to pass the current channel, of course.

mac80211: don't clear sched_scan_sdata on sched scan stop request ieee80211_request_sched_scan_stop() cleared local->sched_scan_sdata. However, sched_scan_sdata should be cleared only after the driver calls ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() (like with normal hw scan). Clearing sched_scan_sdata too early caused ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped_work to exit prematurely without properly cleaning all the sched scan resources and without calling cfg80211_sched_scan_stopped (so userspace wasn't notified about sched scan completion).

mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assoc Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really is needed is synchronisation between some device time and the TSF. To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This is intentionally not using the mactime field since that is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the device timestamp. Also, since we have the information and it's useful even before the connection has been established, give all the timing details to the driver before authenticating.

mac80211: redesign scan RX Scan receive is rather inefficient when there are multiple virtual interfaces. We iterate all of the virtual interfaces and then notify cfg80211 about each beacon many times. Redesign scan RX to happen before everything else. Then we can also get rid of IEEE80211_RX_IN_SCAN since we don't have to accept frames into the RX handlers for scanning or scheduled scanning any more. Overall, this simplifies the code.

mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channel Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.

mac80211: Filter duplicate IE ids mac80211 is lenient with respect to reception of corrupted beacons. Even if the frame is corrupted as a whole, the available IE elements are still passed back and accepted, sometimes replacing legitimate data. It is unknown to what extent this "feature" is made use of, but it is clear that in some cases, this is detrimental. One such case is reported in http://crosbug.com/26832 where an AP corrupts its beacons but not its probe responses. One approach would be to completely reject frames with invaid data (for example, if the last tag extends beyond the end of the enclosing PDU). The enclosed approach is much more conservative: we simply prevent later IEs from overwriting the state from previous ones. This approach hopes that there might be some salient data in the IE stream before the corruption, and seeks to at least prevent that data from being overwritten. This approach will fix the case above. Further, we flag element structures that contain data we think might be corrupted, so that as we fill the mac80211 BSS structure, we try not to replace data from an un-corrupted probe response with that of a corrupted beacon, for example. Short of any statistics gathering in the various forms of AP breakage, it's not possible to ascertain the side effects of more stringent discarding of data.

cfg80211: Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility) we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14. This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in 802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted. The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes: iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx. The drivers have been compile-tested only.

mac80211: assure we also cancel deferred scan request This is partial revert and fix for commit 85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3 "mac80211: only cancel software-based scans on suspend" When cfg80211 request the scan and mac80211 perform some management work, we defer the scan request. We do not canceling such requests when calling ieee80211_scan_cancel(), because of SCAN_SW_SCANNING bit check just before the call. So fix that problem. Another problem, which commit 85f72bc839705294b32b6c16b491c0422f0a71b3 tries to solve, is we can not cancel HW scan. Hence patch make ieee80211_scan_cancel() ignore HW scan (see code comments).

Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing" This reverts this commit. While in theory the change is correct the patch does not address current assumptions made by some drivers, one which is definitley affected is ath9k. Prior to this change the scan complete callback would be called after we returned to the home channel and configured the hardware RX filters. After this change we call the scan complete callback prior to both the hw config and the config filter. At least for ath9k this breaks quite a few assumptions on the callback, leading to disconnects to the AP after every scan making the driver pretty useless on STA mode. The goal behind this commit was to address the now understood spurious warnings from ath9k and mac80211_hwsim on scanning on two wiphys at the same time but we have now supressed these and will address this issue in the next kernel release. When fixing this for good next we must first review the other driver's dependence on this logic and perhaps consider removal of the scan complete callback all together.

mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can detect that two sw scans are in flight at the same time, which isn't really true. It is caused by a race condition, because the scan complete callback is called too late, after the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan can be started before it is called. It is also called too early semantically, as it is currently called _after_ the return to the operating channel -- it should be before so that drivers know this is the operating channel again.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

mac80211: Improve software scan timing The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up the scan itself. Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and return to the operating channel in that case. Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence, scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated listen interval allows us to. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requests Reinette found the reason for the warnings that happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan finished; her description of the problem: mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is busy with management work at the time. The scan requests are deferred and run after the work has completed. When this occurs there are currently two problems. * The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated with the band and channels to scan not initialized. * When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is that when the driver completes the scan and calls ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress. The reason is that the queued scan work will start the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct has already been allocated. However, in the first pass it will not have been filled, which happens at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this, simply move the allocation after the pending work test as well, so that the first iteration of the scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even in the hardware scan case.

mac80211: add U-APSD client support Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Finally, also add some sanity checking code to verify that we're not adding work items while an interface is down -- that case could lead to something similar to what Lennert was seeing.

mac80211: generalise work handling In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

mac80211: Fix dynamic power save for scanning. Not only ps_sdata but also IEEE80211_CONF_PS is to be considered before restoring PS in scan_ps_disable(). For instance, when ps_sdata is set but CONF_PS is not set just because the dynamic timer is still running, a sw scan leads to setting of CONF_PS in scan_ps_disable instead of restarting the dynamic PS timer. Also for the above case, a null data frame is to be sent after returning to operating channel which was not happening with the current implementation. This patch fixes this too.

cfg80211: validate scan channels Currently it is possible to request a scan on only disabled channels, which could be problematic for some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore disabled channels that are given. This resuls in the scan begin/end event only including channels that are actually used. This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should not find any networks on channels that cannot be used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.

mac80211: split hardware scan by band There's currently a very odd bug in mac80211 -- a hardware scan that is done while the hardware is really operating on 2.4 GHz will include CCK rates in the probe request frame, even on 5 GHz (if the driver uses the mac80211 IEs). Vice versa, if the hardware is operating on 5 GHz the 2.4 GHz probe requests will not include CCK rates even though they should. Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and requesting only per-band scans from the driver. Apparently this bug hasn't been a problem yet, but it is imaginable that some older access points get confused if confronted with such behaviour.

mac80211: fix DTIM setting When the DTIM setting is read from beacons, mac80211 will assume it is 1 if the TIM IE is not present or the value is 0. This sounds fine, but the same function processes probe responses as well, which don't have a TIM IE. This leads to overwriting any values previously parsed out of beacon frames. Thus, instead of checking for the presence of the TIM IE when setting the default, simply check whether the DTIM period value is valid already. If the TIM IE is not there then the value cannot be valid (it is initialised to 0) and probe responses received after beacons will not lead to overwriting an already valid value.

mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

"SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX. While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back. Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and "SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the queues again). Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating channel after each scanned channel.

mac80211: improve scan timing 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).

mac80211: fix scan channel race 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.

mac80211: tell driver when idle When we aren't doing anything in mac80211, we can turn off much of the hardware, depending on the driver/hw. Not doing anything, aka being idle, means: * no monitor interfaces * no AP/mesh/wds interfaces * any station interfaces are in DISABLED state * any IBSS interfaces aren't trying to be in a network * we aren't trying to scan By creating a new function that verifies these conditions and calling it at strategic points where the states of those conditions change, we can easily make mac80211 tell the driver when we are idle to save power. Additionally, this fixes a small quirk where a recalculated powersave state is passed to the driver even if the hardware is about to stopped completely. This patch intentionally doesn't touch radio_enabled because that is currently implemented to be a soft rfkill which is inappropriate here when we need to be able to wake up with low latency. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is this: phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d try 1 wlan0 direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: authenticated > phy0: device now idle > phy0: device no longer idle - in use wlan0: associate with AP 00:11:24:91:07:4d wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:11:24:91:07:4d (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated Is it appropriate to go into idle state for a short time when we have just authenticated, but not associated yet? This happens only with the userspace SME, because we cannot really know how long it will wait before asking us to associate. Would going idle after a short timeout be more appropriate?

mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanning 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.

If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up. If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests. Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211 and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.

mac80211: split IBSS/managed code This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

mac80211: fix scan vs. interface removal race When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it was a software scan, if the timing is just right. On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem, just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case we would also never restore state of other interfaces. This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable until you scan once.
