2013-12-19mac80211: fix iflist_mtx/mtx locking in radar detectionJohannes Berg
The scan code creates an iflist_mtx -> mtx locking dependency, and a few other places, notably radar detection, were creating the opposite dependency, causing lockdep to complain. As scan and radar detection are mutually exclusive, the deadlock can't really happen in practice, but it's still bad form. A similar issue exists in the monitor mode code, but this is only used by channel-context drivers right now and those have to have hardware scan, so that also can't happen. Still, fix these issues by making some of the channel context code require the mtx to be held rather than acquiring it, thus allowing the monitor/radar callers to keep the iflist_mtx->mtx lock ordering. While at it, also fix access to the local->scanning variable in the radar code, and document that radar_detect_enabled is now properly protected by the mtx. All this would now introduce an ABBA deadlock between the DFS work cancelling and local->mtx, so change the locking there a bit to not need to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() but be able to just use cancel_delayed_work(). The work is also safely stopped/removed when the interface is stopped, so no extra changes are needed.

2013-12-16mac80211: align ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon() with ieee80211_assign_beacon()Luciano Coelho
The return value of ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon is not aligned with the return value of ieee80211_assign_beacon(). For consistency and to be able to use both functions with similar code, change ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon() not to send the bss changed notification itself, but return what has changed so the caller can send the notification instead.

This reverts commit 6d810f10325522cfcf498dc6d64b9f96e1f5153f In this way an IBSS station will not use the AUTH messages to trigger a state reinitialisation anymore. The behaviour was racy and was not working properly. It has been introduced to help wpa_supplicant to support IBSS/RSN, however all the logic is now getting moved into wpa_s itself which will also be in charge of handling the AUTH messages thanks to the mgmt frame registration. If userspace does not register for receiving AUTH frames then mac80211 will still reply by itself. At the same time, the auth frame registration counter can be removed since it is not needed anymore.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

2013-01-31mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame statusJohannes Berg
When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
