| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the sdata work is pending while the interface is stopped, we currently flush it. If it's not running this means waiting for it to run, which could take a while if the workqueue is backlogged. However, the work exits right away if it starts to run while the interface is already stopping. There's no point in waiting for that, so use cancel_work_sync() instead.

| | * | mac80211: don't drop mesh peering frames from unknown STAMarco Porsch2012-12-061-1/+2

Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED) are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later. The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each other's beacons which created the STA entry. However, this causes an unnecessary delay and beacons might not be received if either node is in PS mode.

This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter commit caused yet another problem reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22 After long discussion in this thread: http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both mentioned earlier commits. To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it, introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before the commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment, but it never sets the corresponding flag itself. By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons. This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue tracking the new offset.

If it is needed then it will be done by the ieee80211_sw_roc_work() function when the ROC item that is being removed while active is cleaned up.

The old channel type is of course still supported for HT. Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct to support these by adding the relevant fields to it (and removing the _type field.) This also adds new helper functions: - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def struct given the control channel and channel type, - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel definitions are identical - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given channel definitions are compatible, and return the wider of the two This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter until we have a driver using it.

Right now, this struct contains just the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this will change. Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the new structure all the time, which will change.

This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

If this happens during authentication, the flag will be lost and we send HT frames, even if the channel config was set up for non-HT. This can lead to issues. Fix this by always resetting the ifmgd flags to zero when the channel context is released so that the flag resetting in ieee80211_mgd_assoc() isn't necessary. To make the code a bit easier move the call to release the channel in ieee80211_set_disassoc() to the end of the function together with the flag resetting (which needs to be at the end to avoid timers setting flags.)

This helps understanding whether the two Auth messages are exchanged correctly or not. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | mac80211: in ADHOC don't update last_rx if sta is not authorizedAntonio Quartulli2012-11-261-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It does not make sense to keep a station alive if it is not authorised at all. If IBSS/RSN is used it could also be the case that something went wrong during the keys exchange and the stations ended up in a not recoverable state. By not updating last_rx we are giving the station a chance to be deleted and to start the key exchange once again from scratch.

| * | | cfg80211: use DS or HT operation IEs to determine BSS channelJohannes Berg2012-11-231-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, mac80211 checks the DS params IE if present and uses it for the (primary) BSS channel, instead of the one that the frame was received on. This is particularly useful in the 2.4 GHz band since a frame is often received on one of the adjacent channels due to overlap. Move this code to cfg80211 so other drivers also do this. Additionally, on 5 GHz, in particular with some (possibly) upcoming changes in 802.11ai and duplicate transmissions when wider channels are used, something similar happens. So if present, also use the (primary) channel information contained in the HT operation IE. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | mac80211: disable HT advertising unless AP supports itJohannes Berg2012-11-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the AP doesn't support HT, or more importantly if it does but we have to disable it because its IEs are broken, don't advertise HT support in our association request. Otherwise, we configure our channel to be a 20 MHz non-HT channel but the AP might still think we support HT, or even 40 MHz. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
