2012-01-04mac80211: remove dead codeMohammed Shafi Shajakhan1-17/+0
ieee80211_offchannel_enable_all_ps function is no longer used and looks like its logic is extensively handled in ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-01-04mac80211: always clear SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flagEliad Peller1-1/+3
If the vif is stopped while it is offchannel (e.g. right after p2p negotiation) the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flag is never get cleared, resulting in various bad effects (e.g. GO can't start beaconing). Fix it by clearing the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flag even if the vif is stopped. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-12-01mac80211: revert on-channel work optimisationsJohannes Berg1-6/+3
The on-channel work optimisations have caused a number of issues, and the code is unfortunately very complex and almost impossible to follow. Instead of attempting to put in more workarounds let's just remove those optimisations, we can work on them again later, after we change the whole auth/assoc design. This should fix rate_control_send_low() warnings, see RH bug 731365. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-11-18mac80211: call ieee80211_recalc_idle() after sending packetsFelix Fietkau1-2/+2
Some drivers (e.g. ath9k) assume that it's safe to go into low-power mode immediately after the idle state changes. To support that, mac80211 even calls drv_flush() before that happens. In some instances, mac80211 sent a packet right after recalculating the idle state, this patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-11-01net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modulesPaul Gortmaker1-0/+1
These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-02-05mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.Ben Greear1-31/+37
This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work, and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is the current operating channel. * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL and is-scanning flags instead. * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured for the operating channel. * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work, and disable it when we are done. * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead. * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel. * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms, so seems like some useful beaconing could happen. Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software scan, and disable it when we are done. * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc. * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local channel, so that mlme can take a look.

2011-01-06mac80211: implement off-channel TX using hw r-o-c offloadJohannes Berg1-10/+20

2011-01-06mac80211: implement hardware offload for remain-on-channelJohannes Berg1-0/+75
This allows drivers to support remain-on-channel offload if they implement smarter timing or need to use a device implementation like iwlwifi. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-09-16mac80211: disable beacon monitor while going offchannelLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+2
The beacon monitor should be disabled when going off channel to prevent spurious warnings and triggering connection deterioration work such as sending probe requests. Re-enable the beacon monitor once we come back to the home channel. This patch has fixes for stable kernels [2.6.34+].

2010-09-16mac80211: reset connection idle when going offchannelLuis R. Rodriguez1-0/+5
When we go offchannel mac80211 currently leaves alive the connection idle monitor. This should be instead postponed until we come back to our home channel, otherwise by the time we get back to the home channel we could be triggering unecesary probe requests. For APs that do not respond to unicast probe requests (Nexus One is a simple example) this means we essentially get disconnected after the probes fails.

2010-08-27mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg1-2/+17
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.

2010-01-16mac80211: Fixed netif_tx_wake_all_queues in IBSS modeBenoit Papillault1-1/+3
When ieee80211_offchannel_return is called, it needs to re-enabled TX queues that have been stopped in ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing or ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station. It happens if we are doing a scan with an IBSS interface. In this case, the interface stopped transmitting. Signed-off-by: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@free.fr> Signed-off-by: John W.

The off-channel operations for going into power save mode (station mode) or stop beaconing (AP/IBSS) are not limited to scanning.
