2008-03-13rt2x00: Only disable beaconing just before beacon updateIvo van Doorn
We should not write 0 to the beacon sync register during config_intf() since that will clear out the beacon interval and forces the beacon to be send out at the lowest interval. (reported by Mattias Nissler). The side effect of the same bug was that while working with multiple virtual AP interfaces a change for any of those interfaces would disable beaconing untill an beacon update was provided. This is resolved by only updating the TSF_SYNC value during config_intf(). In update_beacon() we disable beaconing temporarily to prevent fake beacons to be transmitted. Finally kick_tx_queue() will enable beaconing again. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-03-13rt2x00: Align RX descriptor to 4 bytesIvo van Doorn
Some architectures give problems when reading RX frame descriptor words when the descriptor is not aligned on a 4 byte boundrary. Due to optimalizations for the ieee80211 payload 4 byte alignment, it is no longer guarenteed that the descriptor is placed on the 4 byte boundrary (In fact, for rt73usb it is absolutely never aligned to 4 bytes, for rt2500usb it depends on the length of the payload). This will copy the descriptor to a 4 byte aligned location before it is read for the first time. This will also move the payload data alignment in rt2x00usb (instead of inside the driver) where it has always belonged. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Remove async vendor request calls from rt2x00usbIvo van Doorn
The async vendor requests are a ugly hack which is not working correctly. The proper fix for the scheduling while atomic issue is finding out why we can't use led classes for USB drivers and fix that. Just replace all async calls with the regular ones and print an error for the disallowed LED configuration attempts. That will help in determining which led class is causing the problem.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Cleanup mode registrationIvo van Doorn
Don't wildly pass any number for num_rates to rt2x00lib, instead pass which type of rates are supported (CCK, OFDM). Same for num_modes but then for the 2GHZ and 5GHZ band.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Don't report driver generated frames to tx_status()Ivo van Doorn
This adds a new flag for the skb_frame_desc structure which is used to tag rts/cts frames that are generated by the driver. Through the tag we can recognize frames we have generated ourselves, so we don't report their tx status to mac80211.

skbdesc->data_len was not initialized correctly in rt2x00pci, rt2x00usb, rt2500usb and rt73usb. The value was set to queue->data_size which means that the incorrect frame size was pased to the upper layers.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Enable LED class support for rt2500usb/rt73usbIvo van Doorn
Add kerneldoc for vendor request functions in rt2x00usb. Add asynchroneous vendor request function in rt2x00usb. With the availability of the asynchroneuous vendor request we can now enable LED class support for rt2500usb and rt73usb. Since LED handling is not important, it doesn't really matter if a register call fails (This solution is better then no LED class support at all).

Make use of the led triggers provided by mac80211 to control the led status. This can be enabled through a per-driver configuration option which will automatically enable the generic handler in rt2x00lib. This has been enabled for rt2500usb and rt73usb for the moment since the led class will call set_brightness in irq context which will not work correctly with the usb drivers who need to sleep.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Move beacon and atim queue defines into rt2x00Ivo van Doorn
As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of the defines inside mac80211.h. Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Add per-interface structureIvo van Doorn
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically. Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific. Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support: rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support will be very unlikely. Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry, with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master mode interfaces are currently active. The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are often called together since they all belong to the interface configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up the configuration handler as well. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29rt2x00: Queue handling overhaulIvo van Doorn
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also renames "ring" to "queues". Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header, use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation. Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing system of the queue. Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data, this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves code readability. rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific structure. rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames, since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO. Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect beacon handling or beacon related code. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-01-28rt2x00: Data and desc pointer initializationIvo van Doorn
rt2500usb and rt73usb data and desc pointer initialization was incorrect because it was using uninitialized variables to determine the length. In addition rt2500usb used skb_pull and removed the ieee80211 from each received frame instead of using skb_trim to remove the device descriptor from the frame. Finally this also fixes the descriptor override when 4 byte aligning occured. We still need a completely valid descriptor when using the TX/RX dumping capabilities in debugfs.

2008-01-28mac80211: add unified BSS configurationJohannes Berg
This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode. This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback when the BSS configuration changes. This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following new features: * drivers are notified of their association AID * drivers are notified of association status and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback.

This would lead to rt2x00lib_beacondone adding work which called rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled which called ieee80211_beacon_get which printed an error about not having any beacon data.

2007-10-10[PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
