2009-07-10cfg80211: keep track of BSSesJohannes Berg1-26/+5
In order to avoid problems with BSS structs going away while they're in use, I've long wanted to make cfg80211 keep track of them. Without the SME, that wasn't doable but now that we have the SME we can do this too. It can keep track of up to four separate authentications and one association, regardless of whether it's controlled by the cfg80211 SME or the userspace SME.

2009-07-10cfg80211: emulate connect with auth/assocJohannes Berg1-0/+7
This adds code to cfg80211 so that drivers (mac80211 right now) that don't implement connect but rather auth/assoc can still be used with the nl80211 connect command. This will also be necessary for the wext compat code. Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <samuel.ortiz@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-07-10cfg80211: issue netlink notification when scan startsJohannes Berg1-1/+2
To ease multiple apps working together smoothly, send a notification when a scan is started. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-07-07cfg80211: fix refcount leakJohannes Berg1-1/+0
The code in cfg80211's cfg80211_bss_update erroneously grabs a reference to the BSS, which means that it will never be freed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.29, 2.6.30] Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-06-03nl80211: bounce scan request back to userspaceJohannes Berg1-1/+2
When a scan finishes only the program that asked for it knows what kind of scan it was; let's tell everybody else about the scan parameters as well so they can evaluate the result of the scan better. Also helps with debugging. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-05-06cfg80211: Use the correct IE buffer pointerMichael Buesch1-1/+1
If the IE buffer was allocated, the pub.information_elements pointer was also changed to the allocated space. So we must not assume anymore that the pointer points at the "found" tail. So if it was allocated previously, take the codebranch that grows the buffer size (if necessary) and put the data into the allocated buffer.

2009-05-06cfg80211: Remove unnecessary ksize() callMichael Buesch1-5/+3
This removes an unnecessary ksize() call. krealloc() will do this test internally and won't perform any allocation if the space is already sufficient to hold the data. So remove the redundant check.

2009-05-04cfg80211: fix truncated IEsJohannes Berg1-0/+1
Another bug in the "cfg80211: do not replace BSS structs" patch, a forgotten length update leads to bogus data being stored and passed to userspace, often truncated. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-04-22cfg80211: mark all WEXT handlers _GPLJohannes Berg1-2/+2
The fact that these are exported is a technical detail of the conversion period -- we don't want anybody to start relying on these. Ultimately we want things to use cfg80211 only, and once everything that is in wext is converted to cfg80211 drivers will not need to touch wext _at all_.

2009-04-17cfg80211: do not replace BSS structsJohannes Berg1-9/+33
Instead, allocate extra IE memory if necessary. Normally, this isn't even necessary since there's enough space. This is a better way of correcting the "held BSS can disappear" issue, but also a lot more code. It is also necessary for proper auth/assoc BSS handling in the future.

2009-04-17cfg80211: copy hold when replacing BSSJohannes Berg1-0/+2
When we receive a probe response frame we can replace the BSS struct in our list -- but if that struct is held then we need to hold the new one as well. We really should fix this completely and not replace the struct, but this is a bandaid for now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-03-27cfg80211: add feature to hold bssKalle Valo1-1/+26
In beacon filtering there needs to be a way to not expire the BSS even when no beacons are received. Add an interface to cfg80211 to hold BSS and make sure that it's not expired. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-27cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+3
When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement. This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans. This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning. If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue. All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to the system at a later time. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-27cfg80211: clean up signal typeJohannes Berg1-12/+9
It wasn't a good idea to make the signal type a per-BSS option, although then it is closer to the actual value. Move it to be a per-wiphy setting, update mac80211 to match. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-27cfg80211/mac80211: fill qual.qual value/adjust max_qual.qualJohannes Berg1-3/+12
Due to various bugs in the software stack we end up having to fill qual.qual; level should be used, but wpa_supplicant doesn't properly ignore qual.qual, NM should use qual.level regardless of that because qual.qual is 0 but doesn't handle IW_QUAL_DBM right now. So fill qual.qual with the qual.level value clamped to -110..-40 dBm or just the regular 'unspecified' signal level. This requires a mac80211 change to properly announce the max_qual.qual and avg_qual.qual values. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-27cfg80211: age scan results on resumeDan Williams1-2/+23
Scanned BSS entries are timestamped with jiffies, which doesn't increment across suspend and hibernate. On resume, every BSS in the scan list looks like it was scanned within the last 10 seconds, irregardless of how long the machine was actually asleep. Age scan results on resume with the time spent during sleep so userspace has a clue how old they really are. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-02-13cfg80211: add more flexible BSS lookupJohannes Berg1-2/+8
Add a more flexible BSS lookup function so that mac80211 or other drivers can actually use this for getting the BSS to connect to. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2009-02-13cfg80211: allow users to request removing a BSSJohannes Berg1-0/+21
This patch introduces cfg80211_unlink_bss, a function to allow a driver to remove a BSS from the internal list and make it not show up in scan results any more -- this is to be used when the driver detects that the BSS is no longer available.

2009-02-13cfg80211: free_priv for BSS infoJohannes Berg1-0/+2
When cfg80211 users have their own allocated data in the per-BSS private data, they will need to free this when the BSS struct is destroyed. Add a free_priv method and fix one place where the BSS was kfree'd rather than released properly. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-02-13cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)Johannes Berg1-0/+807
This patch adds basic scan capability to cfg80211/nl80211 and changes mac80211 to use it. The BSS list that cfg80211 maintains is made driver-accessible with a private area in each BSS struct, but mac80211 doesn't yet use it. That's another large project.
