2009-08-28mac80211: Check pending scan request after having processed mgd workJouni Malinen
When the queued management work items are processed in ieee80211_sta_work() an item could be removed. This could change the anybusy from true to false, so we better check whether we can start a new scan only after having processed the pending work first.

2009-08-28mac80211: fix scan cancel on ifdownJohannes Berg
When an interface is taken down while a scan is pending -- i.e. a scan request was accepted but not yet acted upon due to other work being in progress -- we currently do not properly cancel that scan and end up getting stuck. Fix this by doing better checks when an interface is taken down. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2009-08-28mac80211: remove tasklet enable/disableJohannes Berg
Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's no need to ever disable them. However, we need to clear the pending packets when taking down the last interface because otherwise the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't). I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really should not do that for other reasons, but there's no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it should just warn instead.

2009-08-28cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type changeJohannes Berg
When the interface type changes while connected, and the driver does not require the interface to be down for a type change, it is currently possible to get very strange results unless the driver takes special care, which it shouldn't have to. To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail the call. Also process all events that may be pending to avoid running into a situation where an event is reported but only processed after the type has already changed, which would lead to missing events and warnings. A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails, but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or disconnect, this is not a problem.

2009-08-28cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurableJohannes Berg
Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due to a race condition between drivers and userspace, when the driver reports joined but the user in the meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck delaying the code that does the check and sends the event. So first, make the warning trigger closer to the driver, which means it's not locked, but since only the warning depends on it that's ok. And secondly, users will not want to have spurious warnings at all, so make those that are known to be racy in such a way configurable.

2009-08-28cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bugJohannes Berg
When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after the driver. However, it currently does this too early, it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a scan request is still pending and exit if not.

2009-08-28mac80211: fix configure_filter invocation after stopJohannes Berg
Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct. This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw. Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and two of them do very similar things, the code for them can be put into a shared function at the same time.

2009-08-20cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checkingJohannes Berg
My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it was supposed to fix, the scan request checking. But it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since the original patch had a deadlock. Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But that has some more complications, like needing to wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

2009-08-20mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.Javier Cardona
Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric. This used to be done inside the rate control module. This patch breaks the dependency between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm. Mesh will now work independently of the chosen rate control algorithm. The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for each mesh peer station. If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the peer link is marked as broken.

2009-08-20mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleepJohannes Berg
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that need the multicast address list implement. This new callback must be atomic, but most drivers either don't care or just calculate a hash which can be done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware non-atomically. A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170, mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00, wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this new capability.

When removing an interface with nl80211, cfg80211 will deadlock in the netdev notifier because we're already holding rdev->mtx and try to acquire it again to verify the scan has been done. This bug was introduced by my patch "cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests". To fix this, move the dangling scan request check into wiphy_unregister(). This will not be able to catch all cases right away, but if the scan problem happens with a manual ifdown or so it will be possible to remedy it by removing the module/device.

Sometimes drivers might have a good reason to override the PS default, like iwlwifi right now where it affects RX performance significantly at this point.

2009-08-14cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requestsJohannes Berg
If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request. That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just clean up silently because it's likely that the driver also has some internal state it has now leaked. Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock. Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting to do a cleanup.
