Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really is needed is synchronisation between some device time and the TSF. To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This is intentionally not using the mactime field since that is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the device timestamp. Also, since we have the information and it's useful even before the connection has been established, give all the timing details to the driver before authenticating.

We waste a lot of space in this struct because it uses int values where smaller ones would be sufficient. The upcoming A-MPDU information needs some space, optimize the struct now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Scan receive is rather inefficient when there are multiple virtual interfaces. We iterate all of the virtual interfaces and then notify cfg80211 about each beacon many times. Redesign scan RX to happen before everything else. Then we can also get rid of IEEE80211_RX_IN_SCAN since we don't have to accept frames into the RX handlers for scanning or scheduled scanning any more. Overall, this simplifies the code.

Instead of tracking whether or not we're in a scheduled scan, track the virtual interface (sdata) in an RCU-protected pointer to make it usable from RX to check the MAC address. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
Making the scan_sdata pointer usable with RCU makes it possible to dereference it in the RX path to see if a received frame actually matches the interface that is scanning. This is just preparations, making the pointer __rcu. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The function building probe-request IEs does not validate the band is supported before dereferencing it. This can result in a panic when all bands are traversed, as done during sched-scan start. Warn when this happens and return an empty probe request. Also fix sched-scan to not waste memory on unsupported bands.

The management frame and remain-on-channel APIs will be needed in the P2P device abstraction, so move them over to the new wdev-based APIs. Userspace can still use both the interface index and wdev identifier for them so it's backward compatible, but for the P2P Device wdev it will be able to use the wdev identifier only.

There are a few places that iterate the wdev list and assume wdev->netdev exists, check there. The rfkill one has to be extended for each non-netdev type later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some nl80211 callbacks will soon need the wdev instead of the netdev, so add NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV to allow them to request that. Add NL80211_FLAG_NEED_WDEV_UP as well which checks the netdev is UP if one exists. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
In order to support a P2P device abstraction and Bluetooth high-speed AMPs, we need to have a way to identify virtual interfaces that don't have a netdev associated. Do this by adding a NL80211_ATTR_WDEV attribute to identify a wdev which may or may not also be a netdev. To simplify things, use a 64-bit value with the high 32 bits being the wiphy index for this new wdev identifier in the nl80211 API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This API call was intended to be used by drivers if they want to optimize key handling by removing one key when another is added. Remove it since no driver is using it. If needed, it can always be added back. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When the AC parameters change, drivers might rely on getting a bss_info_changed notification with BSS_CHANGED_QOS in addition to the conf_tx call. Always call the function when userspace updates are made (in AP/GO modes) and also set the change flag when updates were made by the AP (in managed mode.)

Because ieee80211_tx_status in status.c checks if outgoing BlockAck requests have been acked, it is necessary to tell the driver that tx feedback for this sort of frame is important. Otherwise, the stack will continue to send the same BlockAck request over and over, which can cause the receiver to flush or clean its reorder buffer over and over.

This was useful for debugging the queue stop/wake issues and is pretty small so let's just put it in. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
Larry (and some others I think) reported that with single-queue drivers mac80211 crashes when waking the queues. This happens because we allocate just a single queue for each virtual interface in case the driver doesn't have at least 4 queues, but the code stopping/waking the virtual interface queues wasn't taking this into account.

If the interfaces were removed just before a restart work was started, open_count will be 0, and most of the reconfig work will be skipped, including the resetting of local->in_reconfig to false. Leaving local->inconfig = true will result in dropping any incoming packet. Fix it by always setting local->in_reconfig = false (even if there are no active interfaces).

Due to the way the default key links are created, it happens that a link is left dangling: * both unicast/multicast links are created * unicast link is destroyed, and the links are updated * during this update, adding the multicast link again fails because it is present, destroying the debugfs pointer * removing the multicast link won't work as the pointer has been destroyed Fix this by always removing the links and then re-creating them if needed.

Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value. With VHT bitrates this becomes too small. Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one will be reported. User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)

Michal's monitor channel tracking introduce a locking problem as it locked the rdev lock inside the netdev notifier which isn't allowed as we might already hold it if we get there by removing an interface that is up. Fix this by relying only on the RTNL to protect the interface counters, the RTNL is always held in these code paths anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some drivers require setup before being able to send management frames in managed mode, in particular in multi-channel cases. Introduce API to allow the drivers to do such setup while being able to sleep waiting for the setup to finish in the device. This isn't possible inside the TX call since that can't sleep. A future patch may also restructure the TX retry to wait for the driver to report the frame status, as suggested by Arik in http://mid.gmane.org/CA+XVXffKSEL6ZQPQ98x-zO-NL2=TNF1uN==mprRyUmAaRn254g@mail.gmail.comSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES can be reduced from 5 to 4 as there is no current hardware supporting a rate chain with 5 multi rate stages (mrr), so 4 mrr stages are sufficient. The memory that is freed within the ieee80211_tx_info struct will be used in the upcoming Transmission Power Control (TPC) implementation.

.connect cannot be handled since the driver scans and connects on its own. It is up to the driver then to refuse a connection (with -EBUSY for example). Non-fixed channel IBSSes always take a single channel resource. For example two non-fixed channel IBSSes always take up 2 num_different_channels, even if they operate on the same channel at a given point of time.
