2009-05-06mac80211: Add a timeout for frames in the RX reorder bufferJouni Malinen
This patch allows skbs to be released from the RX reorder buffer in case they have been there for an unexpectedly long time without us having received the missing frames before them. Previously, these frames were only released when the reorder window moved and that could take very long time unless new frames were received constantly (e.g., TCP connections could be killed more or less indefinitely). This situation should not happen very frequently, but it looks like there are some scenarious that trigger it for some reason. As such, this should be considered mostly a workaround to speed up recovery from unexpected siutation that could result in connections hanging for long periods of time. The changes here will only check for timeout situation when adding new RX frames to the reorder buffer. It does not handle all possible cases, but seems to help for most cases that could result from common network usage (e.g., TCP retrying at least couple of times). For more completely coverage, a timer could be used to periodically check whether there are any frames remaining in the reorder buffer if no new frames are received.

2009-05-06mac80211: add driver ops wrappersJohannes Berg
In order to later add tracing or verifications to the driver calls mac80211 makes, this patch adds static inline wrappers for all operations. All calls are now written as drv_<op>(local, ...); instead of local->ops-><op>(&local->hw, ...); Where necessary, the wrappers also do existence checking and return default values as appropriate.

2009-03-27mac80211: Tear down aggregation sessions for suspend/resumeSujith
When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>. This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend. Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress. This is fixed by marking the station as being in suspend state and denying ADDBA requests for such STAs.

2009-02-27mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg
This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

2009-02-13mac80211: further cleanups to stopping BA sessionsJohannes Berg
Essentially consisting of passing the sta_info pointer around, instead of repeatedly doing hash lookups. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-13mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop sessionJohannes Berg
Clean up the locking by splitting it into two functions, this will also enable further cleanups of stopping all sessions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-13mac80211: fix aggregation timer lockupsJohannes Berg
As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled before the sta_info is freed. Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case, and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it in some other way we will no longer talk to it.

2009-02-13mac80211: restrict aggregation to supported interface modesJohannes Berg
We can only support aggregation on AP/STA right now. HT isn't defined for IBSS, WDS or MESH. In the WDS/MESH cases it's not clear what to put into the IBSS field, and we don't handle that in the code at all. Also fix the code to handle VLAN correctly.

2009-02-13mac80211: restructure HT codeJohannes Berg
Create two new files, agg-tx.c and agg-rx.c to make it clearer which code is common (ht.c) and which is specific (agg-*.c). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
