Previously, mwl8k_bss_info_changed() would refuse to do anything if the 'changed' argument indicated that the association status hadn't changed. Fix this up so that it will allow changing things like the preamble type, the slot time and the CTS-to-self protection method without having to reassociate.

When calling SET_RATE, SET_AID, or when creating a station database entry for our AP, pass in the AP's rate set instead of just blindly enabling all legacy rates, so as to end up doing the right thing when talking to 11b-only APs.

For STA firmware, move the per-peer hardware station ID to the driver-private part of struct ieee80211_sta, where it belongs. (Since issuing a hardware station database maintenance command sleeps, we can't hold a reference to the ieee80211_sta * across the command, and since we won't know the station ID until after the command completes, we need to re-lookup the sta when the command is done to write the returned station ID back to its driver-private part.)

Inserting and removing a hardware station database entry for the AP when we are in managed mode is currently done in ->bss_info_changed(). To prepare for adding AP mode support, implement the ->sta_notify() driver method, and let that handle inserting and removing the hardware station database entry for our AP instead.

Setting the mac address from user space was buggy. For example, when executing this command: ip link set wlan0 address 00:1f:df:88:cd:55 mac80211 used the address 01:00:00:1f:df:88 instead. It was shifted two bytes. The reason was that the addr (type of void *) provided to ieee80211_change_mac() is actually of type struct sockaddr, not just the mac address array. Also the call to eth_mac_addr() expects the address to be struct sockaddr. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Commit 250cce26 uses UTS_RELEASE as the the in-tree iwlwifi driver version. However the inclusion of generated/utsrelease.h makes it a unpleasant behaviour to recompile the driver everytime when utsrelease.h is updated. In fact, the driver module is already built with the UTS_RELEASE information via vermagic of modinfo. Mark the in-tree driver with the version string "in-tree" to distinguish with those old out-of-tree drivers.

I noticed a timeout bug in /drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_spi.c In the current code you cannot tell why you exited the "poll for data ready" do-while loop if exiting was done after the last possible loop. Then timeout==0 regardless of (val & OCP_READY_MASK) or !(val & OCP_READY_MASK), leading to possible false timeout... Simple correction could be decreasing timeout after checking for !(val & OCP_READY_MASK), not before (Manually converted from email to an actual patch by me. -- JWL) Reported-by: "Juha Leppanen" <juha_motorsportcom@luukku.com> Signed-off-by: "Juha Leppanen" <juha_motorsportcom@luukku.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

To make it easier to notice cases of calling sleeping ops in atomic context, annotate driver-ops.h with appropiate might_sleep() calls. At the same time, also document in mac80211.h the op functions with missing contexts. mac80211 doesn't seem to use get_tx_stats anywhere currently. Just to be on the safe side, I documented it to be atomic, but hopefully the op can be removed in the future. Compile-tested only.

Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.

cfg80211 offers private data for each BSS struct, which mac80211 uses. However, mac80211 uses internal and external (cfg80211) BSS pointers interchangeably and has a hack to put the cfg80211 bss struct into the private struct. Remove this hack, properly converting between the pointers wherever necessary. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Refactor the code to reserve an skb of the right size (instead of hoping 200 bytes are enough forever), and also put HT IE generation into an own function. Additionally, put the HT IE before the vendor-specific WMM IE. This still leaves things not quite ordered correctly, due to user-specified IEs, add a note about that for now.

In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

As a first step of generalising management work, this renames a few things and puts more information directly into the struct so that auth/assoc need not access the BSS pointer as often -- in fact it can be removed from auth completely. Also since the previous patch made sure a new work item is used for association, we can make the different data a union.

mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by keeping it on the work list. That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers can implement to provide that confirmation, and use it in a few places: * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any * when going idle, to send any pending frames Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
