* mac80211: revamp beacon configurationJohannes Berg2008-07-141-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally, it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

* rt2x00: Use ieee80211_hw->workqueue againIvo van Doorn2008-07-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the rt2x00 singlethreaded workqueue and move the link tuner and packet filter scheduled work to the ieee80211_hw->workqueue again. The only exception is the interface scheduled work handler which uses the mac80211 interface iterator under the RTNL lock. This work needs to be handled on the kernel workqueue to prevent lockdep issues. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| * rt2x00: Fix lock dependency errrorIvo van Doorn2008-06-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling. The interface work task uses the mac80211 function ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock. However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock. This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue, this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the RTNL lock.

* | rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frameIvo van Doorn2008-06-141-9/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the queue. This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached, will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame. In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | feature. With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected. The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use, and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation. Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents inside a mac80211 structure.

* rt2x00: TO_DS filter depends on intf_ap_countIvo van Doorn2008-04-011-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TO_DS filter does not only depend on the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS flag provided by mac80211, but also on the intf_ap_count count. This makes sense, since when Master mode is active, we should all frames that are send to the active AP (the device itself). This means that when an interface is added we should force the packet filter to be updated during the next mac80211 call of configure_filter() to make sure the intf_ap_count field is checked.

Since in_atomic() is not a valid method to determine if sleeping is allowed we should fix the way this is handled by adding a new flag to rt2x00. In addition mark LED class support for the drivers broken since that also uses the broken in_atomic() method but so far no solution exists to have LED triggers work only in scheduled context.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of the defines inside mac80211.h.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically. Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific. Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support: rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support will be very unlikely. Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry, with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master mode interfaces are currently active. The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are often called together since they all belong to the interface configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up the configuration handler as well. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also renames "ring" to "queues". Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header, use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation. Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing system of the queue. Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data, this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves code readability. rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific structure. rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames, since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO. Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect beacon handling or beacon related code. Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <IvDoorn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configurationJohannes Berg2007-10-111-90/+14Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc. This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list() callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*). For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags. Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g. FIF_ALLMULTI. Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or when the mc_count value is positive. At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop() ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after any remove_interface(). The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced. This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID to all-ones.
