2010-06-08mac80211: fix deauth before assocJohannes Berg
When we receive a deauthentication frame before having successfully associated, we neither print a message nor abort assocation. The former makes it hard to debug, while the latter later causes a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be the case, association timed out. This warning was reported by many, e.g. in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981, but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame instead of an association response.

2010-06-08mac80211: Add netif state checking to ieee80211_ifa_changedJuuso Oikarinen
There's a window for ieee80211_ifa_changed() to get called whilst the managed mode mutex has not been initialized when opening and stopping the interface. Currently this causes a kernel BUG like the following: [ 132.460013] kernel BUG at /home/wifi/iwlwifi-2.6/net/mac80211/main.c:380! [ 132.460013] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP The mutex is initialized during open(), hence once netif_running() is true, the mutex should be valid. Fix by adding a netif_running() check to the function.

2010-06-04mac80211: process station blockack action frames from workJohannes Berg
Processing an association response could take a bit of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that time, the AP might already send a blockack request. If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine, we can end up processing the blockack request before the association processing has finished. Since the blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also cannot make it wait in the driver. As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc setup completed. I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves queuing all blockack category action frames from a work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the code and make things easier. However, this is a very involved and complex change. To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be backported to stable, I've come up with this patch. Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames from the managed interface skb queue, which means their processing will be serialized with processing the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

2010-06-03mac80211: Add support for hardware ARP query filteringJuuso Oikarinen
Some hardware allow extended filtering of ARP frames not intended for the host. To perform such filtering, the hardware needs to know the current IP address(es) of the host, bound to its interface. Add support for ARP filtering to mac80211 by adding a new op to the driver interface, allowing to configure the current IP addresses. This op is called upon association with the currently configured address(es), and when associated whenever the IP address(es) change. This patch adds configuration of IPv4 addresses only, as IPv6 addresses don't need ARP filtering.

2010-06-02cfg80211: make action channel type optionalJohannes Berg
When sending action frames, we want to verify that we do that on the correct channel. However, checking the channel type in addition can get in the way, since the channel type could change on the fly during an association, and it's not useful to have the channel type anyway since it has no effect on the transmission. Therefore, make it optional to specify so that if wanted, it can still be checked, but is not required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

This reverts commit 03ceedea972a82d343fa5c2528b3952fa9e615d5, since it breaks resume from suspend-to-ram on Rafael's Acer Ferrari One.

This adds support for offloading the channel switch operation to devices that support such, typically by having specific firmware API for it.

2010-05-12mac80211: don't process work item with wrong frameJohannes Berg
When we process a frame, we currently just match it to the work struct by the MAC addresses, and not by the work type. This means that we can end up doing the work for an association request item when (for whatever reason) we receive another frame type, for example a probe response. Processing the wrong type of frame will lead to completely invalid data being processed, and will lead to various problems like thinking the association was successful even if the AP never sent an assocation response. Fix this by making each processing function check that it is invoked for the right work struct type only and continue processing otherwise (and drop frames that we didn't expect). This bug was uncovered during the debugging for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15862 but doesn't seem to be the cause for any of the various problems reported there.

This patch changes the string based list management to a handle base implementation to help with the hot path use of pm-qos, it also renames much of the API to use "request" as opposed to "requirement" that was used in the initial implementation. I did this because request more accurately represents what it actually does. Also, I added a string based ABI for users wanting to use a string interface. So if the user writes 0xDDDDDDDD formatted hex it will be accepted by the interface. (someone asked me for it and I don't think it hurts anything.)
