mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old AP

2010-10-06T20:30:40Z

When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

mac80211: Support multiple VIFS per AP in debugfs.

Create 'stations' sub-directory under each netdev:[vif-name] directory to hold all stations for that network device. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs

2010-09-16T08:33:08Z

The default llseek operation is changing from default_llseek to no_llseek, so all code relying on the current behaviour needs to make that explicit. The wireless driver infrastructure and some of the drivers make use of generated debugfs files, so they cannot be converted by our script that automatically determines the right operation. All these files use debugfs and they typically rely on simple_read_from_buffer, so the best llseek operation here is generic_file_llseek. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: "John W.

mac80211: make TX aggregation start/stop request async

2010-06-14T19:39:27Z

When the driver or rate control requests starting or stopping an aggregation session, that currently causes a direct callback into the driver, which could potentially cause locking problems. Also, the functions need to be callable from contexts that cannot sleep, and thus will interfere with making the ampdu_action callback sleeping. To address these issues, add a new work item for each station that will process any start or stop requests out of line. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: use RCU for TX aggregation

2010-06-14T19:39:27Z

Currently we allocate some memory for each TX aggregation session and additionally keep a state bitmap indicating the state it is in. By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving the state into the structure and some locking trickery we can avoid locking when the TX agg session is fully operational.

mac80211: use RCU for RX aggregation

2010-06-14T19:39:27Z

Currently we allocate some memory for each RX aggregation session and additionally keep a flag indicating whether or not it is valid. By using RCU to protect the pointer and making sure that the memory is fully set up before it becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove the need for the bool that indicates validity, as well as for locking on the RX path since it is always synchronised against itself, and we can guarantee that all other modifications are done when the structure is not visible to the RX path. The net result is that since we remove locking requirements from the RX path, we can in the future use any kind of lock for the setup and teardown code paths.

mac80211: reduce debugfs code size

mac80211: clean up ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session

2010-06-03T18:10:45Z

There's no sense in letting anything but internal mac80211 functions set the initiator to anything but WLAN_BACK_INITIATOR, since WLAN_BACK_RECIPIENT is only valid when we have received a frame from the peer, which we react to directly in mac80211. The debugfs code I recently added got this wrong as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: allow controlling aggregation manually

2010-05-03T18:53:10Z

This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is very useful for debugging session initiation and teardown problems since with this you don't have to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and thus have less data to analyse. Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim "support" aggregation sessions. It will still just transfer the frame, but go through the setup and teardown handshakes.
