mac80211: annotate station rcu dereferences

2010-04-06T19:53:30Z

The new RCU lockdep support warns about these in some contexts -- make it aware of the locks used to protect all this. Different locks are used in different contexts which unfortunately means we can't get perfect checking. Also remove rcu_dereference() from two places that don't actually dereference the pointers.

mac80211: use listen interval 5 as default

2010-02-26T21:59:11Z

Currently if a driver does not set hw.max_listen_interval a listen interval of 1 is negotiated with the AP. Thus, the AP could drop buffered frames for us after just one beacon interval which can easily happen with the current powersave and scan implementation. To avoid this issue increase the default interval to 5 which should be a reasonable safe default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add debugfs interface for U-APSD queue configuration

2010-01-12T19:21:00Z

Because it's not yet decided how to configure which queues are U-APSD enabled, add a debugfs interface for testing purposes. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add U-APSD client support

2010-01-12T19:20:58Z

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported. Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running various test traffic with ping. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: No need to include WEXT headers here

2010-01-05T22:13:13Z

Remove the forgotten linux/wireless.h inclusion from mac80211. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: support remain-on-channel command

2009-12-28T21:55:03Z

This implements the new remain-on-channel cfg80211 command in mac80211, extending the work interface. Also change the work purge code to be able to clean up events properly (pretending they timed out.) Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: proper bss private data handling

2009-12-28T21:54:59Z

cfg80211 offers private data for each BSS struct, which mac80211 uses. However, mac80211 uses internal and external (cfg80211) BSS pointers interchangeably and has a hack to put the cfg80211 bss struct into the private struct. Remove this hack, properly converting between the pointers wherever necessary. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: generalise work handling

2009-12-28T21:54:55Z

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.

mac80211: add ieee80211_sdata_running

2009-12-28T21:54:49Z

Instead of always using netif_running(sdata->dev) use ieee80211_sdata_running(sdata) now which is just an inline containing netif_running() for now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
