* mac80211: synchronize scan off/on-channel and PS statesStanislaw Gruszka2013-02-141-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit aacde9ee45225f7e0b90960f479aef83c66bfdc0 upstream. Since: commit b23b025fe246f3acc2988eb6d400df34c27cb8ae Author: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Date: Fri Feb 4 11:54:17 2011 -0800 mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel. we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish. But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS. Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered by AP. To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was before.

* mac80211: clean up remain-on-channel on interface stopJohannes Berg2012-06-171-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 71ecfa1893034eeb1c93e02e22ee2ad26d080858 upstream. When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it.

* mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.Ben Greear2011-02-041-31/+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.

* mac80211: implement off-channel TX using hw r-o-c offloadJohannes Berg2011-01-051-10/+20

| | | | | | | | | 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>
* mac80211: disable beacon monitor while going offchannelLuis R. Rodriguez2010-09-161-0/+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+].

* mac80211: reset connection idle when going offchannelLuis R. Rodriguez2010-09-161-0/+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.

* mac80211: fix offchannel queue stopJohannes Berg2010-08-271-2/+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.

* mac80211: Fixed netif_tx_wake_all_queues in IBSS modeBenoit Papillault2010-01-151-1/+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. Move these into a separate file and allow them to be used for other purposes, too.
