cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering

2016-04-01T00:54:31Z

commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d upstream. Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg [bwh: Backported to 3.2: - Add default case in cfg80211_netdev_notifier_call() which bypasses the added wireless_nlevent_flush() (added upstream by commit 6784c7db8d43 "cfg80211: change return value of notifier function") - Adjust context] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

wext: refactor

2009-10-07T20:39:43Z

Refactor wext to * split out iwpriv handling * split out iwspy handling * split out procfs support * allow cfg80211 to have wireless extensions compat code w/o CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT After this, drivers need to - select WIRELESS_EXT - for wext support - select WEXT_PRIV - for iwpriv support - select WEXT_SPY - for iwspy support except cfg80211 -- which gets new hooks in wext-core.c and can then get wext handlers without CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT. Wireless extensions procfs support is auto-selected based on PROC_FS and anything that requires the wext core (i.e. WIRELESS_EXT or CFG80211_WEXT). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

libipw: switch from ieee80211_* to libipw_* naming policy

2009-08-28T18:40:28Z

This eliminates the dual definition of ieee80211_channel (and possibly others), further clarifying who defines what and paving the way for inclusion of cfg80211.h. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat.

2008-06-17T01:50:49Z

Three major portions to this change: 1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF, and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines. 2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused. 3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not. 4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines modified in #3. Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info). With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
