The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling. This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or having it assigned where it shouldn't be. This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to rx->sta being NULL. Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.

As all bt packets are priority traffic during bt scan, wifi will get disconnected when bt scan lasts for few seconds. Fix this by allocating 10% of bt period time (4.5ms) to wifi fully.

The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination of flags. Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever, using up tx descriptors. Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready time. This fixes the following error in AP mode: ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.

When using the external sleep clock in AP mode, the TSF increments too quickly, causing beacon interval to be much lower than it is supposed to be, resulting in lots of beacon-not-ready interrupts.

ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11 data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard. According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames when both of following are met: 1. It is QoS data frame. 2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field. The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames, because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield to 0". Signed-off-by: Andriy V.

If a device has multiple MAC addresses, userspace will need to know about that. Similarly, if it allows the MAC addresses to vary by a bitmask. If a driver exports multiple addresses, it is assumed that it will be able to deal with that many different addresses, which need not necessarily match the ones programmed into the device; if a mask is set then the device should deal addresses within that mask based on an arbitrary "base address". To test it all and show how it is used, add support to hwsim even though it can't actually deal with addresses different from the default.

When a TKIP key is updated, we should pass the station pointer instead of just the address, since drivers can use that to store their own data. We also need to pass the virtual interface pointer.

"mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment" changed an if-else into two separate if statments, but the if-else is needed to prevent dereferencing a null info->control.hw_key. This fixes avoids a lock-up during association on my machine when using WEP. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Users wishing to tweak tx power want it to happen immediately, try to respect that. This was tested by Lorenzo by measuring the received signal strength from an AP with ath9k and the patch. Changing the tx power on the AP produced these results: 1) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20 ---> Rx power -37dbm 2) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 ---> Rx power -41dbm 3) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10 ---> Rx power -45dbm 4) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5 ---> Rx power -51dbm 5) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 0 ---> Rx power -37dbm The result with 0 is an anomoly and would need to be addressed through a separate patch.

nl80211_associate() was rejecting (re)association attempts with EBUSY in some cases where we are currently associated with an AP that uses different channel from the destination AP. Fix this by passing the current wdev to rdev_fixed_channel() in the same way that was already done for join-IBSS and connect commands. This allows the fixedchan check to skipped for the current wdev and allows the reassociation to proceed. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

With the v10 firmware running on 8688 HW, clearing WPA keys after setting the WEP key prevents us from being able to associate with WEP APs. Swapping the calling order for assoc_helper_wpa_keys() and assoc_helper_wep_keys fixes that issue. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch moves the tx cleanup routines out of the critical interrupt context and into the (previously known as rx) tasklet. The main goal of this operation is to remove the extensive usage of spin_lock_irqsaves in the generic p54common library. The next step would be to modify p54usb to do the rx processing inside a tasklet (just like usbnet). Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

First, both beacons and probe responses can be used for IBSS merge. Next, sdata->u.ibss.bssid was always true (and thus IBSS merge was disabled). We should use sdata->u.ibss.fixed_bssid instead.

The Tx DMA descriptor has two kinds of flags that select RTS/CTS usage. The first one (global for the frame) selects whether RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self should be used, the second one enables RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self usage for an individual multi-rate-retry entry. Previously the code preparing the descriptor only enabled the global flag, if the first MRR series selected the local one. Fix this by enabling the global flag if any of the MRR entries need it. With this patch, rate control can properly select the use of RTS/CTS for all MRR entries except the first one, which is the default behavior.

In an earlier commit, mac80211: disable software retry for now Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns out that we've never done that correctly, but due to some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've added a comment in the patch that explains the problem better and also points to possible solutions -- which I can't implement right now. I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames because it was broken. With the work of the previous patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't be modified, but still running it through the transmit handlers to populate the control information.

When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to know which key to use etc. Currently, mac80211 does this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame. Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key pointer when selecting the key, and later check it when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to later simply skip the encryption function since it no longer modifies the TX control. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

There's no value in setting a flag that will never be checked after this point, this seems to be legacy code -- I think previously the flag was used to check whether to encrypt the frame or not. Now, however, the flag need not be set, and setting it actually interferes if the frame will be processed again later. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
