2008-02-29mac80211: fix IBSS codeJohannes Berg
This patch fixes two errors introduced by commit 19d35612f3cd7f60dd9174c0100584e21f5a1025 Author: Bruno Randolf <bruno@thinktube.com> Date: Mon Feb 18 11:21:36 2008 +0900 mac80211: enable IBSS merging The first error is an endianness problem that sparse found and the second is a build failure when CONFIG_MAC80211_IBSS_DEBUG is not set.

2008-02-29mac80211: fix debugfs_sta print_mac() warningJohannes Berg
When print_mac() was marked as __pure to avoid emitting a function call in pr_debug() scenarios, a warning in this code surfaced since it relies on the fact that the buffer is modified and doesn't use the return value. This patch makes it use the return value instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reported-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29mac80211: Disallow concurrent IBSS/STA mode interfacesJohannes Berg
Disallow having more than one IBSS interface up at any time because of beacon distribution issues, and for now also disallow having more than one IBSS/STA interface up at the same time because we use the master interface's BSS struct which would be completely corrupted when we have more than one up.

2008-02-29mac80211: atomically check whether STA exists alreadyJohannes Berg
When a STA structure is added, it is often checked whether it already exists before adding it. This, however, isn't done atomically so there is a race condition that could lead to two STA structures being added with the same MAC address. This patch changes sta_info_add() to return an ERR_PTR in case of failure and adds the failure mode -EEXIST when the STA already exists.

2008-02-29mac80211: rework TX filtered frame codeJohannes Berg
This reworks the code for TX filtered frames, splitting it out to a new function to handle those cases, making the clear instruction a flag and renaming a few things to be easier to understand and less Atheros hardware specific. Finally, it also makes the comments explain more. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2008-02-29mac80211: consolidate TIM handling codeJohannes Berg
This consolidates all TIM handling code to avoid re-introducing errors with the bitmap/set_tim order and to reduce code.

2008-02-29mac80211: remove sta TIM flag, fix expiry TIM handlingJohannes Berg
The TIM flag that is kept in each station's info is completely useless, there's no code (aside from the debugfs display code) checking it, hence it can be removed. While doing that, I noticed that the TIM handling is broken when buffered frames expire, so fix that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2008-02-29mac80211: invoke set_tim() callback after setting own TIM infoJohannes Berg
Drivers should be allowed to simply get a complete new beacon when set_tim() is invoked (and set_tim() is required for drivers that just want a beacon template!), so we need to update our own TIM bitmap before calling set_tim() so that getting the beacon will now get an already updated beacon.

2008-02-29mac80211: enable IBSS mergingBruno Randolf
enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same channel, same ESSID and a TSF higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its BSSID. while this might not be immediately apparent from reading the 802.11 standard it is compliant and necessary to make IBSS mode functional in many cases. most drivers have a similar behaviour. * move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure. * we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather than the current TSF. since mactime is defined as the time the first data symbol arrived we add the time until byte 24 where the timestamp resides, since this is how the beacon timestamp is defined. as some some drivers are not able to give a reliable mactime we fall back to use the current TSF, which will be enough to catch most (but not all) cases where an IBSS merge is necessary. * in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we can correctly do merges. * we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that message. * to enable this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they have a different BSSID.

2008-02-29mac80211: give burst time in txop rather than 0.1msec unitsJohannes Berg
This changes mac80211 to pass the burst time to conf_tx in txop units rather than 0.1msec units. 0.1msec units are only required by atheros hardware (according to current driver support), all other drivers do other calculations or require the txop value. Therefore, it results in fewer calculations and more precision if we just pass the txop value through to the driver.

When we want to go multiqueue, we will need to know the number of queues the hardware has for registering the master netdev.

2008-02-29mac80211: remove "dynamic" RX/TX handlersJohannes Berg

2008-02-29mac80211: remove port control enable switch, clean up sta flagsJohannes Berg
This patch removes the 802.1X port acess control enable flag since it is not required. Instead, set the authorized flag for each station that we normally communicate with (WDS peers, IBSS peers and APs we're associated to) and require hostapd to set the authorized flag for all stations when port control is not enabled.

When checking for the next band to advance to, there was an off-by-one error that could lead to an access to an invalid array index. Additionally, the later check for scan_band >= IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS is not required since that will never be true. This also improves the comments related to that code.

2008-02-29cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.
