2009-08-23RDS: Add a debug message suggesting to load transport modulesAndy Grover
Now that RDS transports are no longer compiled-in to RDS core, there is now the possibility that they will not be loaded. This adds a helpful suggestion when rds_bind() fails to find a transport.

2009-08-23RDS: Track transports via an array, not a listAndy Grover
Now that transports can be loaded in arbitrary order, it is important for rds_trans_get_preferred() to look for them in a particular order, instead of walking the list until it finds a transport that works for a given address. Now, each transport registers for a specific transport slot, and these are ordered so that preferred transports come first, and then if they are not loaded, other transports are queried.

2009-08-23RDS: Add TCP transport to RDSAndy Grover

2009-08-20mac80211: fix register_hw error pathJohannes Berg
"cfg80211: fix alignment problem in scan request" introduced a bug into the error path, because now we allocate the entire scan request and not just the channel list (the channel list is allocated together with the scan request) -- on errors we thus also need to free the entire scan request.

2009-08-20cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checkingJohannes Berg
My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it was supposed to fix, the scan request checking. But it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since the original patch had a deadlock. Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But that has some more complications, like needing to wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

2009-08-20mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.Javier Cardona
Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric. This used to be done inside the rate control module. This patch breaks the dependency between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm. Mesh will now work independently of the chosen rate control algorithm. The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for each mesh peer station. If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the peer link is marked as broken.

2009-08-20mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleepJohannes Berg
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.

2009-08-20cfg80211: report userspace SME connected event properlyJohannes Berg
Instead of hacking the event reporting into the __cfg80211_connect_result() function which is also invoked by others, set up things correctly and then invoke that function, so that it can do more sanity checking. Also, it is currently not possible to get a ROAMED event from the userspace SME anyway since we send out a DISCONNECTED event when it disassociates and then a new CONNECTED event on the next association.

2009-08-20cfg80211: fix deadlockJohannes Berg
When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify the scan has been done. This bug was introduced by my patch "cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests". To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it by removing the module/device. Additionally, add comments about the deadlock scenario.

2009-08-14cfg80211: allow driver to override PS defaultJohannes Berg
Sometimes drivers might have a good reason to override the PS default, like iwlwifi right now where it affects RX performance significantly at this point. This will allow them to override the default, if desired, in a way that users can still change it according to their trade-off choices, not the driver's, like would happen if the driver just disabled PS completely then.

2009-08-14cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requestsJohannes Berg
If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.

2009-08-14mac80211: Use 3-address format for mesh broadcast frames.Javier Cardona
The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame format to use 3-address. This was done to avoid interactions with widely deployed lazy-WDS access points. This patch changes the format of group addressed frames, both mesh-originated and proxied, to use the data format defined in draft D2.08 and forward. The address fields used for group addressed frames is: In 802.11 header ToDS:0 FromDS:1 addr1: DA (broadcast/multicast address) addr2: TA addr3: Mesh SA In address extension header: addr4: SA (only present if frame was proxied) Note that this change breaks backward compatibility with earlier mesh stack versions.

2009-08-14mac80211: allow DMA optimisationJohannes Berg
If we have a lot of frames to transmit at once, for instance with fragmentation, it can be an optimisation to only tell the DMA engine about them on the last fragment/frame to avoid banging the IO too much. This patch allows implementation such an optimisation by telling the driver when more frames can be expected. Currently, this is used by mac80211 only on fragmented frames, but could also be used in the future on other frames when the queue was full and there are multiple frames pending. Note that drivers need to be careful when using this flag, they need to kick their DMA engines not just when this flag is clear, but also when the queue gets full so that progress can be made.

This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or stations.

2009-08-14cfg80211: use reassociation when possibleJohannes Berg
With the move of everything related to the SME from mac80211 to cfg80211, we lost the ability to send reassociation frames. This adds them back, but only for wireless extensions. With the userspace SME, it shall control assoc vs. reassoc (it already can do so with the nl80211 interface). I haven't touched the connect() implementation, so it is not possible to reassociate with the nl80211 connect primitive. I think that should be done with the NL80211_CMD_ROAM command, but we'll have to see how that can be handled in the future, especially with fullmac chips. This patch addresses only the immediate regression we had in mac80211, which previously sent reassoc. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
