* mac80211: Filter duplicate IE idsPaul Stewart2012-03-071-20/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/mac80211: avoid bounce back mac->cfg->mac on sched_scan_stoppedLuciano Coelho2011-05-121-6/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sched_scan_stopped was called by the driver, mac80211 calls cfg80211, which in turn was calling mac80211 back with a flag "driver_initiated". This flag was used so that mac80211 would do the necessary cleanup but would not call the driver. This was enough to prevent the bounce back between the driver and mac80211, but not between mac80211 and cfg80211. To fix this, we now do the cleanup in mac80211 before calling cfg80211.

* mac80211: allow scan to complete from any contextJohannes Berg2010-08-271-8/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had to make sure to call it without any locks held, which frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid that problem by allowing the function to be called in any context, and queueing the actual work it does. Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.

* mac80211: per interface idle notificationJohannes Berg2010-08-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | Sometimes we don't just need to know whether or not the device is idle, but also per interface. This adds that reporting capability to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: unify scan and work mutexesJohannes Berg2010-08-161-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Having both scan and work mutexes is not just a bit too fine grained, it also creates issues when there's code that needs both since they then need to be acquired in the right order, which can be hard to do. Therefore, use just a single mutex for both. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: fix scan locking wrt. hw scanJohannes Berg2010-08-041-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Releasing the scan mutex while starting scans can lead to unexpected things happening, so we shouldn't do that. Fix that and hold the mutex across the scan triggering. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: allow drivers to request DTIM periodJohannes Berg2010-07-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Some features require knowing the DTIM period before associating. This implements the ability to wait for a beacon in mac80211 before assoc to provide this value. It is optional since most likely not all drivers will need this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing"Luis R. Rodriguez2010-07-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 bracketingJohannes Berg2010-06-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
