* cfg80211: fix BSS struct IE access racesJohannes Berg2012-11-301-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the IEs concurrently. Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct that holds the data and length and protecting access to this new struct with RCU. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* nl80211/cfg80211: support VHT channel configurationJohannes Berg2012-11-261-50/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT) using the control channel frequency (as before) and new attributes for the channel width and first and second center frequency. 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. In particular, it's missing - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that even makes sense) - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it) - a proper channel compatibility calculation for the new channel types Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* cfg80211: pass a channel definition structJohannes Berg2012-11-261-126/+127
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel definition struct. 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.

* cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel typeJohannes Berg2012-11-261-23/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. 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.

* cfg80211: Add TDLS event to allow drivers to request operationsJouni Malinen2012-11-191-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER command was previously used only for userspace request for the kernel code to perform TDLS operations. However, there are also cases where the driver may need to request operations from userspace, e.g., when using security on the AP path. Add a new cfg80211 function for generating a TDLS operation event for drivers to request a new link to be set up (NL80211_TDLS_SETUP) or an existing link to be torn down (NL80211_TDLS_TEARDOWN). Drivers can optionally use these events, e.g., based on noticing data traffic being sent to a peer station that is seen with good signal strength.

* cfg80211: allow per interface TX power settingJohannes Berg2012-10-301-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't make much sense any more. Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

* nl80211: move "can set channel" checkJohannes Berg2012-10-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Setting the wdev to NULL when the channel can't be set for that interface type (to treat the channel setting for the wiphy/monitor) currently works, but is confusing in the code if netdev/wdev aren't both set/unset in the same way. Move the check whether the channel can be set to where it's needed so that wdev and netdev are always both assigned or NULL. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* cfg80211: add support for flushing old scan resultsSam Leffler2012-10-181-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH flag that causes old bss cache entries to be flushed on scan completion. This is useful for collecting guaranteed fresh scan/survey result (e.g. on resume). For normal scan, flushing only happens on successful completion of a scan; i.e. it does not happen if the scan is aborted. For scheduled scan, previous scan results are flushed everytime when we get new scan results. This feature is enabled by default. Drivers can disable it by unsetting the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_FLUSH flag.

* | cfg80211: add P2P Device abstractionJohannes Berg2012-08-201-6/+116
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.
