      mac80211: clean up rate control API · 4b7679a5
      Johannes Berg authored
      Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
      API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
      net/mac80211/.
      
      There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
      we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
      do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
      algorithm or via new API.
      
      Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
      will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
      now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

      mac80211: allow interface settings changes only when down · f8b25cda
      Johannes Berg authored
      We currently allow monitor flags changes and mesh ID changes when
      the interface is up, which can lead to trouble. Change it to only
      allow when down.

      mac80211: make master iface not wireless · 133b8226
      Johannes Berg authored
      There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211,
      in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add
      checks for the master interface all over the config handlers.
      This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface
      in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with
      the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer.
      Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers
      can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also
      removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting
      the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

      mac80211: revamp beacon configuration · 9d139c81
      Johannes Berg authored
      This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
      to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
      require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
      it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
      to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
      removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
      having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

      Johannes Berg authored
      This patch pushes the "netif_running()" and "same type as before"
      checks down into ieee80211_if_change_type() to centralise the
      logic instead of duplicating it for cfg80211 and wext.

      mac80211: make master netdev handling sane · 3e122be0
      Johannes Berg authored
      Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
      pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
      is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
      it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
      have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
      virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
      data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
      saving stations.)
      
      Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
      be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
      the list of interfaces either.
      
      This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
       - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
         lets me remove a lot of tests for that
       - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
      
      Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
      that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
      in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
      point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
      code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
      on the master netdev any more.

      mac80211: proper STA info locking · 07346f81
      Johannes Berg authored
      As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
      and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
      structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
      especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
      be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
      CPUs at the same time.
      
      Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
      parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
      the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
      for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
      is safe.
      
      It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
      flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
      is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
      very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
      introduces for accessing sta->flags.
      
      Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
      be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
      same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
      is in a bh context.

      mac80211: fix key vs. sta locking problems · 3b96766f
      Johannes Berg authored
      Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
      avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()
      hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA
      structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
      cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
      so we cannot do things atomically.
      
      This patch changes key locking completely:
       * key operations are now atomic
       * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
         a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
       * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
       * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
         unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
         keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
         run before STA destruction.
       * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
         required due to key operations
      
      This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
      makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
      as much.
      
      Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
      is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.
