Since packets sent to an RA / TID in AGG are sent from a separate HW Tx queue, we may get into a race: the regular queue isn't empty while we already begin to send packets from the AGG queue. This would result in sending packets out of order. In order to cope with this, mac80211 waits until the driver reports that the legacy queue is drained before it can send packets to the AGG queue. During that time, mac80211 buffers packets for the driver. These packets will be sent in order after the driver reports it is ready. The way this was implemented in the driver is as follows: We held a counter that monitors the number of packets for an RA / TID in the HW queues. When this counter reached 0, we knew that the HW queues were drained and we reported to mac80211 that were ready to proceed. This patch changes the implementation described above. We now remember what is the wifi sequence number of the first packet that will be sent in the AGG queue (lets' call it ssn). When we reclaim the packet before ssn, we know that the queue is drained, and we are ready to proceed. This will allow us to move this logic in the upper layer and eventually remove the tid_data from the shared area.

When we restore regulatory settings the world regulatory domain is properly reset on cfg80211 (or user prefered regulatory domain) but we were never setting back channel values for drivers that use WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY. Set these values up again by using the orig_ channel parameters. This fixes restoring custom regulatory settings upon disconnect events.

By definition WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY was intended to allow the wiphy to adjust itself to the country IE power information if the card had no regulatory data but we had no way to tell cfg80211 that if the card also had its own custom regulatory domain (these are typically custom world regulatory domains) that we want to follow the country IE's noted values for power for each channel. We add support for this and document it. This is not a critical fix but a performance optimization for cards with custom regulatory domains that associate to an AP with sends out country IEs with a higher EIRP than the one on the custom regulatory domain. In practice the only driver affected right now are the Atheros drivers as they are the only drivers using both WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY and WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY -- used on cards that have an Atheros world regulatory domain. Cards that have been programmed to follow a country specifically will not follow the country IE power. So although not a stable fix distributions should consider cherry picking this.

This initial DFS module provides basic functionality to deal with radar pulses reported by the Atheros DFS HW pulse detector. The reported data is evaluated and basic plausibility checks are performed to filter false pulses. Passing radar pulses are forwarded to pattern detectors which are not yet implemented.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
