* mac80211: do not call rate control .tx_status before .rate_initFelix Fietkau2012-02-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Most rate control implementations assume .get_rate and .tx_status are only called once the per-station data has been fully initialized. minstrel_ht crashes if this assumption is violated.

* mac80211: call rate control only after initJohannes Berg2012-02-154-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations where we don't have the necessary rate control information yet for station entries, e.g. when associating. This currently doesn't really happen due to the dummy station handling; explicitly disabling rate control when it's not initialised will allow us to remove dummy stations.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __ieee80211_recalc_idle() iterates through the vifs, sets bss_conf.idle = true if they are disconnected, and increases "count" if they are not (which later gets evaluated in order to determine whether the device is idle). However, the loop doesn't set bss_conf.idle = false (along with increasing "count"), causing the device idle state and the vif idle state to get out of sync in some cases.

* mac80211: fix work removal on deauth requestJohannes Berg2012-01-181-11/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deauth is requested while an auth or assoc work item is in progress, we currently delete it without regard for any state it might need to clean up. Fix it by cleaning up for those items. In the case Pontus found, the problem manifested itself as such: authenticate with 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b (try 1) authenticated failed to insert Dummy STA entry for the AP (error -17) deauthenticating from 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b by local choice (reason=2) It could also happen differently if the driver uses the tx_sync callback. We can't just call the ->done() method of the work items because that will lock up due to the locking in cfg80211. This fix isn't very clean, but that seems acceptable since I have patches pending to remove this code completely.

* mac80211: Use the right headroom size for mesh mgmt framesJavier Cardona2012-01-182-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use local->tx_headroom instad of local->hw.extra_tx_headroom. local->tx_headroom is the max of hw.extra_tx_headroom required by the driver and the headroom required by mac80211 for status reporting. On drivers where hw.extra_tx_headroom is smaller than what mac80211 requires (e.g. ath5k), we would not reserve sufficient buffer space to report tx status. Also, don't reserve local->tx_headroom + local->hw.extra_tx_headroom.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We may leak the 'fwd_skb' we skb_copy() in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() if we take the 'else' branch in the 'if' statement just below. If we take that branch we'll end up returning from the function and since we've not assigned 'fwd_skb' to anything at that point, we leak it when the variable goes out of scope. The simple fix seems to be to just kfree_skb(fwd_skb); just before we return. That is what this patch does. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: fix no-op authorized transitionsJohannes Berg2012-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When userspace attempts to authorize a station that is already authorized, nothing happens as you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes a station that is associated, nothing happens. However, when it unauthorizes a station that isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try to move the station to associated. This seems to happen occasionally as a result of a race when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize the port in managed mode. Particularly with my new patches to keep stations, it can then move a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have really associated, which is really confusing.

This happen with rt73usb and rt61pci at least. Before the commit we always check rx->key against NULL, so I assume fix should be done in mac80211 (also mic_fail path has similar check).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mac80211 relays a frame from STA1 to STA2 in AP mode it will get re-classified in the tx path. Unfortunately the frame protocol field is always set to ETH_P_8023 while the classification only kicks in for ETH_P_IP. Hence, a high priority frame from STA1 will be send to STA2 as best effort. Instead of running classification on the frame just use the same priority as STA1 did. Do this by adding 256 to the skb->priority to allow cfg80211_classify8021d to shortcut frame classification.

* mac80211: Use appropriate TID for sending BAR, ADDBA and DELBA framesHelmut Schaa2011-12-154-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames are always sent using AC_VO. If the TID for which a BA session is established is assigned to a different queue BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames can "overtake" frames of the according BA session. Hence, always put BA session related frames into the same queue as the BA sessions data frames. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: reduce station management complexityJohannes Berg2011-12-153-203/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that IBSS no longer needs to insert stations from atomic context, we can get rid of all the special cases for that, and even get rid of the sta_lock (though it needs to stay as tim_lock.) This makes the station management code much more straight-forward. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: delay IBSS station insertionJohannes Berg2011-12-154-57/+140
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to notify drivers and simplify the station management code, defer IBSS station insertion to a work item and don't do it directly while receiving a frame. This increases the complexity in IBSS a little bit, but it's pretty straight forward and it allows us to reduce the station management complexity (next patch) considerably.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, each AP interface will send multicast traffic if any interface has a station entry even if that station entry is allocated only. With the new station state management we can easily fix it by adding a counter that counts each authorized station only and send multicast traffic only when the correct interface has at least one authorized station.

* mac80211: refactor station state transitionsJohannes Berg2011-12-158-30/+172
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session. (The patch looks large because it has to move two functions to before their new use.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_configure_filter code used local->scanning as a boolean value when it was a bit mask. Bits SCAN_COMPLETED, SCAN_ABORTED should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC filter. SCAN_HW_SCANNING should not set FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC either, as there is no explicit filter configuration request from scan code. If a driver requires FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC mode during HW scanning, it's up to the driver to temporary enable it. Similar mistake was fixed also in ieee80211_hw_config (power configuration code).

* | mac80211: Purge A-MPDU TX queues before station destructionsYogesh Ashok Powar2011-12-132-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a station leaves suddenly while ampdu traffic to that station is still running, there is a possibility that the ampdu pending queues are not freed due to a race condition leading to memory leaks. In '__sta_info_destroy' when we attempt to destroy the ampdu sessions in 'ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions', the driver calls 'ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe' to delete the ampdu structures (tid_tx) and splice the pending queues and this job gets queued in sdata workqueue. However, the sta entry can get destroyed before the above work gets scheduled and hence the race. Purging the queues and freeing the tid_tx to avoid the leak. The better solution would be to fix the race, but that can be taken up in a separate patch.
