2009-05-06ath5k: correct interrupt storm warningBob Copeland
Ben Greear points out that the "too many interrupts" message will never print in the intended case since the interrupt counter will be -1 after the loop. Change it to pre-decrement so it will be 0 on the thousandth iteration. Cc: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-06rt2x00: Add support for L2 padding during TX/RXIvo van Doorn
Some hardware require L2 padding between header and payload because both must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This hardware also is easier during the RX path since we no longer need to move the entire payload but rather only the header to remove the padding (mac80211 only wants the payload to be 4-byte aligned).

Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!) And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register.

2009-05-06mac80211: fix probe response processingJohannes Berg
Due to the use of a _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE bit, which is unnecessary (and I wonder why it was done that way), an interesting situation can arise: 1) we try to probe an access point 2) the AP doesn't response in time 3) we tell userspace that we gave up 4) the AP suddenly responds 5) we auth/assoc with the AP I've seen 4) happen in testing with hostapd SIGSTOPped, and when SIGCONTinued it processes the probe requests that came in and send responses. But 5) is not supposed to happen after we tell everybody we've given up on the AP. To fix this, remove the _REQ_DIRECT_PROBE request bit, and process probe responses when we're in the relevant MLME state, namely IEEE80211_STA_MLME_DIRECT_PROBE.

In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers for all operations.

2009-05-06mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changedJohannes Berg

2009-05-06mac80211: clean up beacon interval settingsJohannes Berg
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.

2009-05-06mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanningJohannes Berg
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. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an interface that is associating. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-06mac80211: internally clear failed scans properlyJohannes Berg

2009-05-06mac80211: fix PS vs. scan raceJohannes Berg

2009-05-04tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECNIlpo Järvinen
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it, somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe. The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested ECN off. Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end enable really has some potential gain too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.
