2008-09-15mac80211: move ieee80211_sta_expireJohannes Berg
ieee80211_sta_expire uses the internal __sta_info_unlink function which can become static if this function is moved to sta_info.c. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: move frame TX functionJohannes Berg
The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more, it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: move spectrum management code outJohannes Berg
Like the HT code, this doesn't depend on the STA-mode implementation and can be handled entirely independently. There's only stub code for now, but when it gets filled having it in its own file will be beneficial. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: make BA session handling independent of STA modeJohannes Berg
The aggregation handling isn't dependent on anything related to our STA-mode implementation, and doesn't need to depend on it for frame processing. This patch moves the relevant code to ht.c and adds a hook in rx.c. For now, the relevant action frames are only processed in STA/IBSS modes, but that's now something we can easily change.

2008-09-11mac80211: initialise queue QoS parameters at hw startJohannes Berg

2008-09-11mac80211: consolidate deauth/disassocJohannes Berg
deauth and disassoc frames are completely identical so there's little point in having two functions to send them rather than one that gets a parameter. This same a bit of code size. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: reorder frame code in mlmeJohannes Berg
This reorders all frame sending functions to be at the top of the file. When reading the file, I tend to be looking at either the frame code or the state machine, and having them mixed in the file is confusing. When all frame sending is at the top the remainder of the file is more readable, in my opinion. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: remove useless 'ibss' parameterJohannes Berg

2008-09-11mac80211: move some HT code out of mlme.cJohannes Berg
Some of the HT code in mlme.c is misplaced: * constants/definitions belong to the ieee80211.h header * code being used in other modes as well shouldn't be there Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: move BSS handling to scan codeJohannes Berg
This moves all the BSS list handling out of mlme.c to scan.c, no further changes except fixing kzalloc/atomic_inc/atomic_inc to kzalloc/atomic_set(2). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: refactor and move scan RX codeJohannes Berg
This patch refactors some code and moves the scan RX function to scan.c. More importantly, however, it changes it so that the MLME's beacon/probe_resp functions aren't invoked when scanning so that we can remove a "if (scanning)" conditions from two places. There's a very slight behavioural change in this patch: now, when scanning, IBSS and mesh aren't updated even on the same channel.

2008-09-11mac80211: start moving scan code from mlmeJohannes Berg
Here's a first patch to move some code from mlme.c to a new file called scan.c. The end result will hopefully be a more manageable mlme.c. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-09-11mac80211: use sdata pointer for scan interfaceJohannes Berg
Since we now use sdata pointers most of the time, using a netdev pointer here is somewhat artificial, use an sdata pointer instead. Replace a netdev-prefix in a few messages by a wiphy-prefix.

2008-09-11mac80211: reorder mlme codeJohannes Berg
This reorders the mlme code a bit so we don't need all the forward function declarations. It also removes the ERP_INFO_USE_PROTECTION define that is unused, but otherwise contains no real changes.

2008-09-11mac80211: stop queues before carrier offTomas Winkler
During testing of the disassociation fixes, Tomas noticed that it was possible to run into a situation where you'd suddenly get a few "wlan0: dropped frame to <AP> (unauthorized port)" messages and I found this to be due to the AP's sta_info having been removed but netif_carrier_off not having removed/stopped traffic yet. To avoid that, stop the queue for the interface (and avoid bringing them up when another vif scans when they weren't up.)

2008-09-11mac80211: remove disassociation code from ieee80211_set_associatedTomas Winkler
This patch moves disassociation code from ieee80211_set_associated to ieee80211_set_disassoc. To reduce code duplication, it introduces the ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo function. Additionally, it fixes a lapse where BSS_CHANGED_HT wasn't set when notifying the driver of changes due to disassociation.

2008-09-11mac80211: disassociate when moving to new BSSTomas Winkler
This patch makes the MLME cleanly disassociate from the current BSS when leaving it for a new one. This is not just nicer to the old AP (we're leaving it, might as well tell it!) but also required for some drivers that keep track of the station we're associated with, they'd get confused because they'd think we are associated with two APs.

2008-09-11mac80211: move IE parsing to util fileJohannes Berg
Since IE parsing is required for the mlme and mesh code, it's not a static function anyway, and it's much better to have it in util rather than the overly large mlme.c Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-09-11mac80211: fix typo in action frame handlingJohannes Berg

2008-09-11mac80211: fix action frame length checksJohannes Berg
The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category code too, and the category code is required in each action frame (hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).

2008-09-11mac80211: BSS info: check channel firstJohannes Berg
When we receive information about a BSS we check at some point whether or not we think we're allowed to use the channel it is on, but we do that fairly late. I don't think we should do it that late, so do it earlier to avoid doing IBSS/mesh stuff on that channel and then getting confused because it's disabled.

2008-09-11mac80211: make conf_tx non-atomicJohannes Berg
The conf_tx callback currently needs to be atomic, this requirement is just because it can be called from scanning. This rearranges it slightly to only update while not scanning (which is fine, we'll be getting beacons when associated) and thus removes the atomic requirement.

2008-09-08mac80211: Fix rate scale initialization in IBSSEmmanuel Grumbach
This patch address some IBSS rate issues introduced or not covered by "mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()" and "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion". This patch: 1. Moves addition of IBSS station from prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon eliminating bogus supported rates. 2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging 3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent 4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

This patch fixes regression in iwlwifi IBSS rate scaling caused by patch: commit 6bc37c06bc424bcf3f944e6a79e2d5bb537e02ed Author: Vladimir Koutny <vlado@work.ksp.sk> Date: Fri Jun 13 16:50:44 2008 +0200 mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index() An IBSS station is added in prepare_for_handlers where the rate scaling was initialized only with single rate matching the received packet. The correct rate scale information should be updated only in ieee80211_rx_bss_info function where beacon is parsed. Because of coding error the rate info was left untouched.

2008-08-29mac80211: Handle scan result IEs in one blockJouni Malinen
Clean up and extend scan result processing by storing all the IEs from Beacon/Probe Response frames in a single block instead of allocating memory for each specific IE separately.

2008-08-26mac80211: don't send empty extended rates IEJan-Espen Pettersen
The association request includes a list of supported data rates. 802.11b: 4 supported rates. 802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates. 802.11a: 8 supported rates. The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of 802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs. 'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than rates_len would seem more correct.

Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2008-08-26mac80211: Use IWEVASSOCREQIE instead of IWEVCUSTOMJouni Malinen
The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors. Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size (IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an extra buffer for hex encoding.

2008-08-22mac80211: add direct probe before associationRon Rindjunsky
This patch adds a direct probe request as first step in the association flow if data we have is not up to date. Motivation of this step is to make sure that the bss information we have is correct, since last scan could have been done a while ago, and beacons do not fully answer this need as there are potential differences between them and probe responses (e.g. WMM parameter element) Signed-off-by: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-08-22replace net_device arguments with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriateJasper Bryant-Greene
This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate. It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device. If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway, the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat. This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be provided.
