This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within the same ESS for reassociation to be used properly. It is fine to clear this when the SSID changes, so let's move the code into ieee80211_sta_set_ssid(). Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

We will miss rate control update if first A-MPDU of an aggregation is not Block Acked as we always tell if the rate control needs to updated through update_rc of first A-MPDU. This patch does rate control update for the first A-MPDU which notifies it's tx status (which is not necessarily the first A-MPDU of an aggregation) to mac80211.

ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never buffered any frames for the station during software scan. Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and nullfunc frames during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.

When I added scanning to cfg80211, we got a lock dependency like this: rtnl --> cfg80211_mtx nl80211, on the other hand, has the reverse lock dependency: cfg80211_mtx --> rtnl which clearly is a bad idea. This patch reworks nl80211 to take these two locks in the other order to fix the possible, and easily triggerable, deadlock.

When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>. This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend. Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress. This is fixed by marking the station as being in suspend state and denying ADDBA requests for such STAs.

The MIB interrupt fires whenever counters overflow; however without support for automatic noise immunity, we can sometimes get an interrupt storm. The get_stats() callback reads the counters anyway so we can disable the interrupt for now until ANI is implemented. This fixes the issue reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12647.

To avoid concurrent manipulations of the sta list (which shouldn't be possible at this point, but anyway) we need to hold the sta_lock around iterating the list. At the same time, we do not need to iterate the list at all if the driver doesn't want to be notified.

AP mode currently sets up the dual stream capability for all stations. This patch fixes it by checking if the associated station supports dual stream MCS rates (8-15). We would disregard any MCS rates above 15, since Atheros HW supports only 0..15 rates currently, and can't receive at rates > 15 anyway.
