mac80211: call skb_dequeue/ieee80211_free_txskb instead of __skb_queue_purge

2012-11-10T20:26:28Z

Fixes more wifi status skb leaks, leading to hostapd/wpa_supplicant hangs. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: use ieee80211_free_txskb to fix possible skb leaks

2012-10-08T19:06:05Z

A few places free skbs using dev_kfree_skb even though they're called after ieee80211_subif_start_xmit might have cloned it for tracking tx status. Use ieee80211_free_txskb here to prevent skb leaks. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

mac80211: add key flag for management keys

2012-09-10T09:29:17Z

Mark keys that might be used to receive management frames so drivers can fall back on software crypto for them if they don't support hardware offload. As the new flag is only set correctly for RX keys and the existing IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT flag can only affect TX, also rename the latter to IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'mac80211/master' into mac80211-next

2012-09-06T13:56:02Z

Pull in mac80211.git to let the next patch apply without conflicts, also resolving a hwsim conflict. Conflicts: drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix DS to MBSS address translation

2012-08-22T07:45:05Z

The destination address of unicast frames forwarded through a mesh gate was being replaced with the broadcast address. Instead leave the original destination address as the mesh DA. If the nexthop address is not in the mpath table it will be resolved. If that fails, the frame will be forwarded to known mesh gates.

mac80211: clean up ieee80211_subif_start_xmit

2012-08-20T12:13:46Z

There's no need to carry around a return value that is always NETDEV_TX_OK anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove almost unused local variable

2012-08-20T12:13:39Z

In ieee80211_beacon_get_tim() we can use the txrc.sband instead of a separate local variable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: avoid using synchronize_rcu in ieee80211_set_probe_resp

2012-08-20T11:20:56Z

This could take a while (100ms+) and may delay sending assoc resp in AP mode with WPS or P2P GO (as setting the probe resp takes place there). We've encountered situations where the delay was big enough to cause connection problems with devices like Galaxy Nexus. Switch to using call_rcu with a free handler.

mac80211: use eth_broadcast_addr

2012-07-31T14:19:51Z

Instead of memset(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: use correct channel in TX

2012-07-31T14:18:58Z

Since we only need the band, remove the channel pointer from struct ieee80211_tx_data and also assign it properly, depending on context, to the correct operating or current channel. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
