Johannes Berg 64491f0ec8 mac80211: add per-station HT capability file
This is sometimes useful to debug HT issues
as it shows what exactly the stack thinks
the peer supports.

Johannes Berg a58ce43f2f mac80211: avoid spurious deauth frames/messages
With WEXT, it happens frequently that the SME
requests an authentication but then deauthenticates
right away because some new parameters came along.
Every time this happens we print a deauth message
and send a deauth frame, but both of that is rather
confusing. Avoid it by aborting the authentication
process silently, and telling cfg80211 about that.

The patch looks larger than it really is:
__cfg80211_auth_remove() is split out from
cfg80211_send_auth_timeout(), there's no new code
except __cfg80211_auth_canceled() (a one-liner) and
the mac80211 bits (7 new lines of code).

Johannes Berg 7351c6bd48 mac80211: request TX status where needed
Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.

The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.

Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.

This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
but in the future drivers using hw-rate control may
opt to not report TX status for frames that don't
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set.

Johannes Berg ad4bb6f888 cfg80211: disallow bridging managed/adhoc interfaces
A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
 * transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
 * receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
   the case of managed mode
 * the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
   network segment

In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.

To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.

Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

Johannes Berg 9bc383de37 cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode
It's very likely that not many devices will support
four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

Michael Buesch 9bd568a50c b43: Enforce DMA descriptor memory constraints
Enforce all device constraints on the descriptor memory region.

There are several constraints on the descriptor memory, as documented
in the specification. The current code does not enforce them and/or
incorrectly enforces them.

Those constraints are:
- The address limitations on 30/32bit engines, that also apply to
  the skbs.
- The 4k alignment requirement on 30/32bit engines.
- The 8k alignment requirement on 64bit engines.

Jouni Malinen 24b6b15f7d cfg80211: Allow reassociation in associated state
cfg80211 rejects all association requests when in associated state. This
prevents clean roaming within an ESS since one would first need to
disassociate before being able to request reassociation.

Accept the reassociation request and let the old association to be
dropped when the new one is completed. This fixes nl80211-based
roaming with the current snapshot version of wpa_supplicant (that has
code for requesting reassociation explicitly withthe previous BSSID
attribute).

Johannes Berg af65cd96dd mac80211: make software rate control optional
Some devices implement the entire rate control in
firmware in some way, like wl1271 or like iwlwifi
which does some things in software but not a lot.
Therefore generic software rate control is rather
useless for them and just adds avoidable overhead
to the transmit path.

It's fairly simple to let drivers indicate that
they do not need rate control, but they need to
fulfil a number of conditions that we encode in
WARN_ONs.

Johannes Berg c951ad3550 mac80211: convert aggregation to operate on vifs/stas
The entire aggregation code currently operates on the
hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to
change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step
preparing for that make the aggregation code callable
with the station, or by the combination of virtual
interface and station address.

Sujith cb53a150ca ath9k: Fix bug in initializing chain masks
Check for AR5416 ver 1.0 before calibrating 3 chains
for multi-chain. This is a WAR for calibration
failure.

Sujith 201cd6cce4 ath9k: Remove a few unused functions
ATH9K_ANT_VARIABLE is the default diversity control used.
Consequently ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() does nothing.
ath9k_hw_setantennaswitch() is unused too.

Also, gbeacon_rate is unused.

Sujith c6089ccc22 ath9k: Cleanup bss_info_changed callback
* Remove a code chunk dealing with operating mode changes.
  As noted, all such policy changes are to be done in
  add_interface.

* Remove pointless check for empty BSSID.
  Also, remove mode checks - mac80211 does all the needed checks.

* Handle enabling/disabling beacon transmission properly.

* Handle beacon interval changes for AP mode.
  The original code depended on config_interface() to update
  the HW TSF. Since that callback has been removed, handle
  it properly.

* Remove unneeded code dealing with key/privacy.

* Set the chainmasks to 1x1 for IBSS when the BSSID is set.
  This was happening uncondionally before.

Felix Fietkau 827e69bf67 ath9k: get rid of tx_info_priv
This patch removes the need for separately allocated private tx info
data in ath9k and brings the driver one small step closer to using the
mac80211 rate control API properly.

Felix Fietkau 3e5b1101f5 mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces
In order to handle association and authentication in AP mode,
hostapd needs access to the tx status info of its own frames
through a cooked monitor interface. Without this patch the
cooked monitor interfaces also passed on tx status information
for packets from other virtual interfaces. This creates a
significant performance issue on embedded system. Hostapd
tries to work around this by installing a Linux Socket Filter
that only captures the frames it's interested in, however
data duplication and socket filter matching still uses up
enough CPU cycles to be very noticeable on small systems.
This patch ensures that tx status information of non-injected
frames does not make it to cooked monitor interfaces.
