2008-05-16mac80211: Add RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfacesIvo van Doorn
Since commit e38bad4766a110b61fa6038f10be16ced8c6cc38 mac80211: make ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces not need rtnl rt2500usb and rt73usb broke down due to attempting register access in atomic context (which is not possible for USB hardware). This patch restores ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() to use RTNL lock, and provides the non-RTNL version under a new name: ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() So far only rt2x00 uses ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(), and those drivers require the RTNL version of ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces(). Since they already call that function directly, this patch will automatically fix the USB rt2x00 drivers. v2: Rename ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-05-14mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise unitsBruno Randolf
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from the wireless extensions. this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future. for signal: IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW for noise we currently only have dBm: IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications to make sense of the signal values. i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing the hardware flags of the driver.

2008-05-07mac80211: Add IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISEIvo van Doorn
This adds a new flag to the ieee80211_key_conf structure. This flag will inform the driver the key is pairwise rather then a shared key. This is important for drivers who support both types of keys, and need to be informed which type of key this is. Alternative would be drivers checking the address argument of set_key(), but it will be safer when mac80211 is more explicit. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-05-07mac80211: Replace ieee80211_tx_control->key_idx with ieee80211_key_confIvo van Doorn
The hw_key_idx inside the ieee80211_key_conf structure does not provide all the information drivers might need to perform hardware encryption. This is in particular true for rt2x00 who needs to know the key algorithm and whether it is a shared or pairwise key. By passing the ieee80211_key_conf pointer it assures us that drivers can make full use of all information that it should know about a particular key. Additionally this patch updates all drivers to grab the hw_key_idx from the ieee80211_key_conf structure. v2: Removed bogus u16 cast v3: Add warning about ieee80211_tx_control pointers v4: Update warning about ieee80211_tx_control pointers Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-04-16mac80211: no BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanningReinette Chatre
There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as the beacons are received without scanning. This changeĀ·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic. The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or ioctl in all other instances.

2008-02-29mac80211: enable IBSS mergingBruno Randolf
enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11 standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour. * move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure. * we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary. * in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we can correctly do merges. * we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that message. * to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they have a different BSSID.

2008-02-29mac80211: better definition of mactimeBruno Randolf
define mactime as the time when the first data symbol arrived at the HW. the old definition was questionable because 802.11 defines timestamp only for beacon and probe response frames, and there it means the timestamp field. a stricter definition of mactime is necessary for correct merging of IBSS. note that it is up to the driver to convert whatever its hardware returns to this definition. unfortunately we don't know for example when atheros hardware takes its rx timestamp exactly :( Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback when the BSS configuration changes.

There are various decisions influencing the decision whether to buffer a frame for after the next DTIM beacon. The "do we have stations in PS mode" condition cannot be tested by the driver so mac80211 has to do that. To ease driver writing for hardware that can buffer frames until after the next DTIM beacon, introduce a new txctl flag telling the driver to buffer a specific frame. While at it, restructure and comment the code for multicast buffering and remove spurious "inline" directives.

Interface iteration in mac80211 can be done without holding any locks because I converted it to RCU.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: add sta_notify callbackTomas Winkler
This patch adds sta_notify callback and removes sta_table_notification which was not used by any driver. sta_notify() is essential for drivers that keeps notion of station internally and need to be notified about removal or addition of a station to the (I)BSS or assocation to an AP. This version adds interface id to the parameter list as suggested by Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2007-10-10[MAC80211]: remove management interfaceJohannes Berg
Removes the management interface since it is only required for hostapd/userspace MLME, will not be in the final tree at least in this form and hostapd/userspace MLME currently do not work against this tree anyway.
