2009-12-28mac80211: split up and insert custom IEs correctlyJohannes Berg
Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests. For association, that's correct only if the user-specified IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN), after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes, split the IEs in different places to be correct according to the spec. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-12-28mac80211: refactor associationJohannes Berg
Refactor the code to reserve an skb of the right size (instead of hoping 200 bytes are enough forever), and also put HT IE generation into an own function. Additionally, put the HT IE before the vendor-specific WMM IE. This still leaves things not quite ordered correctly, due to user-specified IEs, add a note about that for now.

2009-12-28mac80211: rewrite a few work messagesJohannes Berg

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise work handlingJohannes Berg
In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on another channel) will be useful. To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The API can currently handle probing a specific AP, authentication and association. The MLME previously handled probe/authentication as one step and will continue to do so, but they are separate in the new work handling. Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right now will do for its combined probe/auth step.

2009-12-28mac80211: generalise management work a bitJohannes Berg
As a first step of generalising management work, this renames a few things and puts more information directly into the struct so that auth/assoc need not access the BSS pointer as often -- in fact it can be removed from auth completely. Also since the previous patch made sure a new work item is used for association, we can make the different data a union.

2009-12-28mac80211: let cfg80211 manage auth stateJohannes Berg
mac80211 currently hangs on to the auth state by keeping it on the work list. That can lead to confusing behaviour like rejecting scans while authenticated to any AP (but not yet associated.) It also means that it needs to keep track of the work struct while associated for when it gets disassociated (or disassociates.) Change this to free the work struct after the authentication completed successfully and allocate a new one for associating, thereby letting cfg80211 manage the auth state. Another change necessary for this is to tell cfg80211 about all unicast deauth frames sent to mac80211 since now it can no longer check the auth state, but that check was racy anyway.

2009-12-28mac80211: introduce flush operationJohannes Berg
We've long lacked a good confirmation that frames have really gone out, e.g. before going off-channel for a scan. Add a flush() operation that drivers can implement to provide that confirmation, and use it in a few places: * before scanning sends the nullfunc frames * after scanning sends the nullfunc frames, if any * when going idle, to send any pending frames Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurationsLuis R. Rodriguez
mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers, queue work, and so on for a device which is completley unfunctional. The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_workLuis R. Rodriguez
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked. If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable upon resume. Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the beginning of suspend cycle. The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch. For further details see refer to the thread: http://marc.info/?t=126144866100001&r=1&w=2 Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

In that case, it may happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held because the user is requesting the deauth. The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although userspace was no longer expecting that. To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the race happened and in that case abort processing.

2009-12-28mac80211: fix ibss join with fixed-bssidFelix Fietkau
When fixed bssid is requested when joining an ibss network, incoming beacons that match the configured bssid cause mac80211 to create new sta entries, even before the ibss interface is in joined state.

For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.

2009-12-21mac80211: make station management completely depend on vifJohannes Berg
The station management currently uses the virtual interface, but you cannot add the same station to multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating with it in multiple ways. This restriction should be lifted so that in the future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3 with an access point that mac80211 is already associated to. We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users to provide the virtual interface and making the RX code aware that an address may match more than one station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this one isn't all that large and except for the RX and TX status paths changes has low complexity.

I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed a speed regression, cf. bug http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138 that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong. Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits. The bug was part of the original HT code from over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't be overwriting the peer's setting with our own but rather keep it intact when masking the peer capabilities with our own. While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of capabilities is completely useless for most of the bits, so also fix those other bits.

2009-12-08tcp: fix retrans_stamp advancing in error casesIlpo Järvinen
It can happen, that tcp_retransmit_skb fails due to some error. In such cases we might end up into a state where tp->retrans_out is zero but that's only because we removed the TCPCB_SACKED_RETRANS bit from a segment but couldn't retransmit it because of the error that happened. Therefore some assumptions that retrans_out checks are based do not necessarily hold, as there still can be an old retransmission but that is only visible in TCPCB_EVER_RETRANS bit. As retransmission happen in sequential order (except for some very rare corner cases), it's enough to check the head skb for that bit. Main reason for all this complexity is the fact that connection dying time now depends on the validity of the retrans_stamp, in particular, that successive retransmissions of a segment must not advance retrans_stamp under any conditions. It seems after quick thinking that this has relatively low impact as eventually TCP will go into CA_Loss and either use the existing check for !retrans_stamp case or send a retransmission successfully, setting a new base time for the dying timer (can happen only once). At worst, the dying time will be approximately the double of the intented time. In addition, tcp_packet_delayed() will return wrong result (has some cc aspects but due to rarity of these errors, it's hardly an issue). One of retrans_stamp clearing happens indirectly through first going into CA_Open state and then a later ACK lets the clearing to happen. Thus tcp_try_keep_open has to be modified too.

2009-12-08tcp: Fix a connect() race with timewait socketsEric Dumazet
When we find a timewait connection in __inet_hash_connect() and reuse it for a new connection request, we have a race window, releasing bind list lock and reacquiring it in __inet_twsk_kill() to remove timewait socket from list. Another thread might find the timewait socket we already chose, leading to list corruption and crashes. Fix is to remove timewait socket from bind list before releasing the bind lock. Note: This problem happens if sysctl_tcp_tw_reuse is set. Reported-by: kapil dakhane <kdakhane@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-08tcp: Fix a connect() race with timewait socketsEric Dumazet
First patch changes __inet_hash_nolisten() and __inet6_hash() to get a timewait parameter to be able to unhash it from ehash at same time the new socket is inserted in hash. This makes sure timewait socket wont be found by a concurrent writer in __inet_check_established() Reported-by: kapil dakhane <kdakhane@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-08sctp: fix compile error due to sysctl mismergeLinus Torvalds
I messed up the merge in d7fc02c7bae7b1cf69269992cf880a43a350cdaa, where the conflict in question wasn't just about CTL_UNNUMBERED being removed, but the 'strategy' field is too (sysctl handling is now done through the /proc interface, with no duplicate protocols for reading the data).
