2009-04-22mac80211: validate TIM IE length (redux)Johannes Berg
The TIM IE must not be shorter than 4 bytes, so verify that when parsing it and use the proper type. To ease that adjust struct ieee80211_tim_ie to have a virtual bitmap of size at least 1. Also check that the TIM IE is actually present before trying to parse it! Because other people may need the function, make it a static inline in ieee80211.h. (The original "mac80211: validate TIM IE length" was a minimal fix for 2.6.30. This purports to be the full, correct fix. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22cfg80211: mark all WEXT handlers _GPLJohannes Berg
The fact that these are exported is a technical detail of the conversion period -- we don't want anybody to start relying on these. Ultimately we want things to use cfg80211 only, and once everything that is in wext is converted to cfg80211 drivers will not need to touch wext _at all_.

2009-04-22cfg80211: clear WEXT SSID when clearing IBSSJohannes Berg
When we leave an IBSS, we should clear the SSID and not just the BSSID, but since WEXT allows configuring while the interface is down we must not clear it when leaving due to taking the iface down, so some complications are needed.

2009-04-22nl80211: Add set/get for frag/rts threshold and retry limitsJouni Malinen
Add new nl80211 attributes that can be used with NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY and NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY to manage fragmentation/RTS threshold and retry limits. Since these values are stored in struct wiphy, remove the local copy from mac80211 where feasible (frag & rts threshold). The retry limits are currently needed in struct ieee80211_conf, but these could be eventually removed since the driver should have access to the values in struct wiphy.

2009-04-22cfg80211: clean up includesJohannes Berg
Trying to separate header files into net/wireless.h and net/cfg80211.h has been a source of confusion. Remove net/wireless.h (because there also is the linux/wireless.h) and subsume everything into net/cfg80211.h -- except the definitions for regulatory structures which get moved to a new header net/regulatory.h. The "new" net/cfg80211.h is now divided into sections. There are no real changes in this patch but code shuffling and some very minor documentation fixes. I have also, to make things reflect reality, put in a copyright line for Luis to net/regulatory.h since that is probably exclusively written by him but was formerly in a file that only had my copyright line.

2009-04-22mac80211: convert to cfg80211 IBSS APIJohannes Berg

2009-04-22cfg80211/nl80211: add IBSS APIJohannes Berg
This adds IBSS API along with (preliminary) wext handlers. The wext handlers can only do IBSS so you need to call them from your own wext handlers if the mode is IBSS. The nl80211 API requires * an SSID * a channel (frequency) for the case that a new IBSS has to be created It optionally supports * a flag to fix the channel * a fixed BSSID The cfg80211 code also takes care to leave the IBSS before the netdev is set down. If wireless extensions are used, it also caches values when the interface is down and instructs the driver to join when the interface is set up.

2009-04-22mac80211: Allow scan to be requested in AP modeJouni Malinen
We can allow scan requests in AP mode as long as the interface has not yet been configured to send out Beacon frames (or if beaconing has been disabled prior to the scan request). This makes it easier to scan for neighboring BSSes during AP initialization and makes it possible to run a scan without setting the interface down, if needed. Without this change, the only available option would be to set the interface down, move into station mode, and set the interface up, prior to requesting the scan.

2009-04-22mac80211: enable PS by defaultJohannes Berg
Enable PS by default (depending on Kconfig) -- rely on drivers to control the level using pm_qos. Due to the previous patch we turn off PS when necessary due to latency requirements. This has a Kconfig symbol so people can, if they really want, configure the default in their kernels. We may want to keep it at "default y" only in wireless-testing for a while.

2009-04-22mac80211: implement beacon filtering in softwareJohannes Berg
Regardless of whether the hardware implements beacon filtering, there's no need to process all beacons in software all the time throughout the stack (mac80211 does a lot, then cfg80211, then in the future possibly userspace). This patch implements the "best possible" beacon filtering in mac80211. "Best possible" means that it can look for changes in all requested information elements, and distinguish vendor IEs by their OUI. In the future, we will add nl80211 API for userspace to request information elements and vendor IE OUIs to watch -- drivers can then implement the best they can do while software implements it fully. It is unclear whether or not this actually saves CPU time, but the data is all in the cache already so it should be fairly cheap. The additional _testing_, however, has great benefit; Without this, and on hardware that doesn't implement beacon filtering, wrong assumptions about, for example, scan result updates could quickly creep into code.

2009-04-22mac80211: disable powersave if pm_qos asks for low latencyJohannes Berg
When an application asks for a latency lower than the beacon interval there's nothing we can do -- we need to stay awake and not have the AP buffer frames for us. Add code to automatically calculate this constraint in mac80211 so drivers need not concern themselves with it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22mac80211: improve powersave implementationJohannes Berg
When you have multiple virtual interfaces the current implementation requires setting them up properly from userspace, which is undesirable when we want to default to power save mode. Keep track of powersave requested from userspace per managed mode interface, and only enable powersave globally when exactly one managed mode interface is active and has powersave turned on. Second, only start the dynPS timer when PS is turned on, and properly turn it off when PS is turned off. Third, fix the scan_sdata abuse in the dynps code. Finally, also reorder the code and refactor the code that enables PS or the dynps timer instead of having it copied in two places.

2009-04-22mac80211: add hardware restart functionJohannes Berg
Some hardware defects may require the hardware to be re-initialised completely from scratch. Drivers would need much information (for instance the current MAC address, crypto keys, beaconing information, etc.) stored duplicated from mac80211 to be able to do this, so let mac80211 help them. The new ieee80211_restart_hw() function requires the same code as resuming, so move that code into a new ieee80211_reconfig() function in util.c and leave only the suspend code in pm.c.

2009-04-22mac80211: re-upload keys only after telling driver about associationJohannes Berg
In the normal WPA or RSN case keys are only configured after associating, so we should do that in that order when resuming as well. It shouldn't really matter since we do not send any data at either point, but iwlwifi prefers it this way and it does seem more natural.

2009-04-22mac80211: Report rejected association to user space SMEJouni Malinen
When using nl80211 association, we need to send association response with a failure code to user space SME instead of just internally trying to send out the same (re)association request again couple of times.

2009-04-22nl80211: Add Michael MIC failure eventJouni Malinen
Define a new nl80211 event, NL80211_CMD_MICHAEL_MIC_FAILURE, to be used to notify user space about locally detected Michael MIC failures. This matches with the MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive. Since we do not actually have TSC in the skb anymore when mac80211_ev_michael_mic_failure() is called, that function is changed to take in the TSC as an optional parameter instead of as a requirement to include the TSC after the hdr field (which we did not really follow). For now, TSC is not included in the events from mac80211, but it could be added at some point. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22nl80211: Generate deauth/disassoc event for locally generated framesJouni Malinen
Previously, nl80211 mlme events were generated only for received deauthentication and disassociation frames. We need to do the same for locally generated ones in order to let applications know that we disconnected (e.g., when AP does not reply to a probe).

As a result, attempts to use io_submit to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL.
