* mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwardingLuis Carlos Cobo2008-08-071-4/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame, which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

* mac80211: Prepare mesh_table_grow to failing copy_node callback.Pavel Emelyanov2008-05-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The mesh_path_node_copy() performs kmalloc() and thus - may fail (well, it does not now, but I'm fixing this right now). Its caller - the mesh_table_grow() - isn't prepared for such a trick yet. This preparation is just flush the new hash and make copy_node() return an int value.

* Revert "mac80211: use a struct for bss->mesh_config"John W. Linville2008-04-081-10/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 6c4711b4697d93424e4b1f76a9929ba844d714a5. That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of unaligned accesses to compare field by field.

* mac80211: fix sta_info mesh timer bugJohannes Berg2008-03-061-2/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed a bug I introduced when mesh is enabled: sta_info_destroy() will end up calling cancel_timer() on a timer that has never been initialized because the timer is only initialized in mesh_plink_alloc(), not in sta_info_alloc(). This patch moves the initialization of all mesh related fields into sta_info_alloc(), adds a bit of sanity checking to the cfg80211 handlers and sta_info_insert() and makes mesh_plink_alloc() a static helper function that is only used from the mesh plink code.

* mac80211: split sta_info_addJohannes Berg2008-03-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure. This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in a follow-up patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: RCU-ify STA info structure accessJohannes Berg2008-03-061-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is now somewhat understandable. This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under RTNL and frees the key.
