Johannes Berg authored
The key documentation is slightly out of date, fix that. Also, the list entry in the key struct is no longer used that way, so list_del_init() isn't necessary any more there. Finally, ieee80211_key_link() is no longer invoked under RCU read lock, but rather with an appropriate station lock held. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

To inject a packet in monitor mode, a dummy station has to be associated with the monitor interface in the target. Failing to do this would result in a firmware crash on the device.

ath5k_eeprom_mode_from_channel() returns -1 on error but we're storing the result in "ee_mode" which is an unsigned char. This breaks the error handling. This patch makes "ee_mode" an int. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This patch addresses the issue of serialization between the main rx path and various reorder release timers. <http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg57214.html> It converts the previously local "frames" queue into a global rx queue [rx_skb_queue]. This way, everyone (be it the main rx-path or some reorder release timeout) can add frames to it. Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers] is needed. All other threads which have lost the race of "runnning_rx_handler" can now simply "return", knowing that the thread who had the "edge" will also take care of their workload.

This reverts commit 0ce3bcfc. Event though with the above commit we obtain the configured DTIM period from the AP rather than always hardcoding it to '1', this seems to cause problems under the following scenarios: * Preventing association with broken AP's * Adds latency in roaming So its better to always use the safe value of '1' for dtim period Cc: Jouni Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@Atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Fixed a bug where if a mesh interface has a different MAC address from its bridge interface, then it would not be able to send data traffic to any other mesh node. This also adds support for communication between mesh nodes and external bridged nodes by using a 6 address format if the source is a node within the mesh and the destination is an external node proxied by a mesh portal.

When returning to the operating channel, a full HW reset has to be done instead of a fast channel change. Since sw_scan_complete() is called after the config() call for the home channel, we end up doing a FCC. Fix this issue by checking the OFFCHANNEL flag to determine FCC.

This patch revamps some common code-paths which are shared between (re-)initialization and suspend/resume subroutines. It also adds some helpful comments about quirks and associated difficulties. It's quite big, but it should fix #25382: <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25382> And hopefully the code is robust enough to deal with all possible suspend/resume scenarios without requiring the user to do any sort of manual and possibly dangerous work.

By removing two "safety" msleeps (and an echo nop), the channel change delay is effectively halved. Previously, the delay could be as long as 260 ms and the device could not go off-channel without risking to miss the next DTIM beacon [interval ~307 ms].

ath5k_reset is called from process context and takes the cc_lock with plain spin_lock(), but cc_lock can also be taken from tasklets in softirq context. Thus we need to at least use spin_lock_bh.

Looks that we do not set correctly antennas when scanning on 5Ghz band and when bluetooth is enabled, because priv->cfg->scan_tx_antennas[band] is only defined for IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ. To fix we check band before limiting antennas to first one. This allow to remove hard coded cfg->scan_tx_antennas[band].
