* mac80211: automatically free sta struct when insertion failsJohannes Berg2008-04-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | When STA structure insertion fails, it has been allocated but isn't really alive yet, it isn't reachable by any other code and also can't yet have much configured. This patch changes the code so that when the insertion fails, the resulting STA pointer is no longer valid because it is freed.

* mac80211: fix sta_info mesh timer bugJohannes Berg2008-03-061-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Berg2008-03-061-9/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Berg2008-03-061-54/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: split ieee80211_key_alloc/freeJohannes Berg2008-02-291-8/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to RCU-ify sta_info, we need to be able to allocate a key without linking it to an sdata/sta structure (because allocation cannot be done in an rcu critical section). This patch splits up ieee80211_key_alloc() and updates all users appropriately. While at it, this patch fixes a number of race conditions such as finally making key replacement atomic, unfortunately at the expense of more complex code. Note that this patch documents /existing/ bugs with sta info and key interaction, there is currently a race condition when a sta info is freed without holding the RTNL. This will finally be fixed by a followup patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: atomically check whether STA exists alreadyJohannes Berg2008-02-291-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a STA structure is added, it is often checked whether it already exists before adding it. This, however, isn't done atomically so there is a race condition that could lead to two STA structures being added with the same MAC address. This patch changes sta_info_add() to return an ERR_PTR in case of failure and adds the failure mode -EEXIST when the STA already exists.

* cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversionJohannes Berg2008-02-291-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k) are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations can be done. Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty much required for travelling. Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to the BSS conf stuff. I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

* mac80211: move interface type to vif structureJohannes Berg2008-01-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Drivers that support mixed AP/STA operation may well need to know the type of a virtual interface when iterating over them.
