Monitor interfaces are never seen by the driver, so tests based on that opmode don't make sense. Also, we already pass all mic failure packets. Consequently this code is actually accepting any frames with just crypto errors and rejecting those with CRC, FIFO, and PHY errors for all interface types. Adjust the code and comment accordingly.

Allow userspace to register for more than just action frames by giving the frame subtype, and make it possible to use this in various modes as well. With some tweaks and some added functionality this will, in the future, also be usable in AP mode and be able to replace the cooked monitor interface currently used in that case. Signed-off-by:

When MFP is disabled, action frames will not be encrypted since they are management frames and the only management frames that can then be encrypted are authentication frames. Therefore, setting the don't-encrypt flag on action frames is unnecessary. Signed-off-by:

This function analyses only its single, value-passed argument, and has no side effects. Thus it can be const, which makes mac80211 smaller, for example: text data bss dec hex filename 362518 16720 884 380122 5ccda mac80211.ko (before) 362358 16720 884 379962 5cc3a mac80211.ko (after) a 160 byte saving in text size, and an optimisation because the function won't be called as often.

The decryption code verifies whether or not a given frame was decrypted and verified by hardware. This is unnecessary, as the crypto RX handler already does it long before the decryption code is even invoked, so remove that code to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by:

Currently, mac80211 translates the cfg80211 cipher suite selectors into ALG_* values. That isn't all too useful, and some drivers benefit from the distinction between WEP40 and WEP104 as well. Therefore, convert it all to use the cipher suite selectors. Signed-off-by:

SDIO, GSPI, and CS all use 2-stage firmware and the loading process and logic should be the same. Allow module parameters to override the automatic firmware choice, otherwise just walk the bus driver's firmware table and pick out the first firmware pair that exists for the given model. Some special care is taken to allow overriding of just the helper or the main firmware, but let the other of the pair be chosen automatically. Signed-off-by:

rt2x00 was keeping a copy of ieee80211_rx_status embedded into the rt2x00_dev structure. For each RX frame, this structure was copied into the skb->cb where mac80211 would handle it further. However at the moment only the fields current band, and frequency were updated. Whereas the band was already provided directly within the rt2x00_dev structure. Save a memcpy action, and reduce memory a bit, by adding a curr_freq field to rt2x00_dev, and completely remove the ieee80211_rx_status structure from rt2x00_dev. Signed-off-by:

The TX_STA_FIFO register which is used for per-frame TX frame status reporting is also valid on rt2800usb. We can move the rt2800pci_txdone function into rt2800lib where it can also be used by rt2800usb. rt2800usb needs to overwrite the txdone work handler to a different function. Both rt2800usb as rt2800_txdone need to take into account that IO failures can occur while uploading the URB, which means that when obtaining the new entry the IO status must be checked.

The only reason why the write_tx_data callback function is needed inside the driver, is because the location of the TXWI descriptor is different on PCI and USB hardware. Except for the beacon, where the TXWI is always at the start of the SKB buffer. In both cases the drivers write_tx_data function only wrap around the function rt2800_write_txwi. Move write_tx_data completely into the rt2800lib library, and add a callback function to obtain the TXWI pointer. Signed-off-by:

At some points, some drivers can't report the full TX status information. This can happen for the UNKNOWN state, or the FAILURE state (in case the URB failed). Add a wrapper function to simplify reporting the empty TX information. Signed-off-by:

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure, which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used. In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return, and handle the TX status report directly. As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty() and queue_full() on the RX queue. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes drivers have more information than the stack about how their antennas/chains are used, and may require that the SM PS mode be changed. This could happen, for example, when detecting that the user disconnected an antenna. Thus this patch introduces API to allow drivers to request SM PS mode changes. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces a new timer, which will release queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT (which is at around 100 ms). The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs to release the old ones, is particularly observable when even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at low network speeds. Previously under these circumstances frames would become stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and gunning the pipes. Signed-off-by:

When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong interference, sensitivity is also reduced. In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds, until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal. Signed-off-by:

When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference. Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped. Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay connected. With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal -> periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains. In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference (measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit several mbits/s through the interface. Signed-off-by:
