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.) Signed-off-by:

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:

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:

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. Suggested-by:

.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. Signed-off-by:

Michal Kazior authored
Implements .set_monitor_enabled(wiphy, enabled). Notifies driver upon change of interface layout. If only monitor interfaces become present it is called with 2nd argument being true. If non-monitor interface appears then 2nd argument is false. Driver is notified only upon change. This makes it more obvious about the fact that cfg80211 supports single monitor channel. Once we implement multi-channel we don't want to allow setting monitor channel while other interface types are running. Otherwise it would be ambiguous once we start considering num_different_channels. Signed-off-by:

We need to know which channel is used by a running AP and mesh for channel context accounting and finding matching/active interface combination. STA/IBSS have current_bss already which allows us to check which channel a vif is tuned to. Non-fixed channel IBSS can be handled with additional changes. Monitor mode is going to be handled differently. Signed-off-by:

beacon_ies is needed only in order to extract the dtim period. However, even if it's missing we can still enter ps with dtim=1 (which also happens if the TIM ie is invalid). Most drivers don't use conf.max_sleep_period/ps_dtim_period anyway, and this check prevents them from entering ps if they don't have beacon (but only probe response), even though the beacon is not needed at all.

On deauth/disassoc we tear down all BA sessions. These DELBA packets are sent on the appropriate TID, while deauth/disassoc is always sent on VO. This sometimes ends with the DELBA being sent after the deauth was already sent. Fix it by flushing all the pending frames before sending deauth/disassoc. Signed-off-by:

When CONFIG_PM is disabled, no device can possibly support WoWLAN since it can't go to sleep to start with. Due to this, mac80211 had even rejected the hardware registration. By making all the code and data for WoWLAN depend on CONFIG_PM we can promote this runtime error to a compile-time error. Add #ifdef around all WoWLAN code to remove it in systems that don't need it as they never suspend. Cc: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com> Acked-by:
