mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAIL

2012-12-05T08:53:31Z

Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter commit caused yet another problem reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22 After long discussion in this thread: http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both mentioned earlier commits. To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it, introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before the commit.

mac80211: remove probe response temporary buffer allocation

2012-11-30T12:41:27Z

Instead of allocating a temporary buffer to build IEs build them right into the SKB. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support (partial) VHT radiotap information

2012-11-27T10:56:18Z

Add some information that we have about VHT to radiotap. This at least lets one see the MCS and NSS information. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support VHT rates in TX info

2012-11-26T11:43:00Z

To achieve this, limit the number of retries to 31 (instead of 255) and use the three bits that are then free for VHT flags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support drivers reporting VHT RX

2012-11-26T11:42:59Z

Add support to mac80211 for having drivers report received VHT MCS information. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert to channel definition struct

2012-11-26T11:42:59Z

Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type

2012-11-26T11:42:58Z

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it. This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations right now. Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types. Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if we extend it again later (with the needed capability flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Add debugfs callbacks for station addition/removal

2012-11-21T10:46:25Z

Provide drivers with hooks to create debugfs files when a new station is added. This would help drivers to take advantage of mac80211's station list infrastructure and not maintain tedious station management code internally.

mac80211: make remain_on_channel() op pass vif param

2012-11-19T15:20:37Z

Drivers (e.g. wl12xx) might need to know the vif to roc on (mainly in order to configure the rx filters correctly). Add the vif to the op params, and update the current users (iwlwifi) to use the new api. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller [fix hwsim] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
