This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode.
The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have
the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly
a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand.This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into
sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that
way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only
applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other
functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also
rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

The beacon counters mac80211 keeps are only used for debugfs,
unfortunately, they are incorrect for many hardware designs,
namely any design that has a beacon template. Hence, remove the
counters so we don't create the impression they are usable.This also allows removing the beacon MESH #ifdef again.

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its

This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

Previous version was using incorrect union structures for non-AP
interfaces when adding and removing max_ratectrl_rateidx and
force_unicast_rateidx entries. Depending on the vif type, this ended
up in corrupting debugfs entries since the dentries inside different
union structures ended up going being on top of eachother.. As the
end result, debugfs files were being left behind with references to
freed data (instant kernel oops on access) and directories were not
removed properly when unloading mac80211 drivers. This patch fixes
those issues by using only a single union structure based on the vif
type.Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen

This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the
code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less
spaghetti code.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville -
Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
- no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
lets me remove a lot of tests for that
- no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't usedAdditionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
on the master netdev any more.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

This patch renames all mac80211 files (except ieee80211_i.h) to get rid
of the useless ieee80211_ prefix.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville -
Unfortunately, debugfs can be made to access invalid memory by
open()ing a file and then waiting until the corresponding debugfs
file has been removed (and, probably, the underlying object.)That could be exploited by any user if the user is able to open
debugfs files and can cause networking devices, STA entries or
similar to disappear which is quite easy to do.Hence, all debugfs files should be root-only.

This patch removes the 802.1X port acess control enable flag
since it is not required. Instead, set the authorized flag for
each station that we normally communicate with (WDS peers, IBSS
peers and APs we're associated to) and require hostapd to set
the authorized flag for all stations when port control is not
enabled.Also, since I was working in that area, this documents station
flags and removes the unused "permanent" one.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
* drivers are notified of their association AID
* drivers are notified of association statusand replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.Signed-off-by: Ron Rindjunsky

This cleans up the eapol frame handling and some related code in the
receive and transmit paths. After this patch
* EAPOL frames addressed to us or the EAPOL group address are
always accepted regardless of whether they are encrypted or not
* other frames from a station are dropped if PAE is enabled and
the station is not authorized
* unencrypted frames (except the EAPOL frames above) are dropped if
drop_unencrypted is enabled
* some superfluous code that eth_type_trans handles anyway is gone
* port control is done for transmitted packetsSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg

This patch changes mac80211 to verify that VLAN interfaces
are valid and not bother drivers about them any more.

is up with the same MAC address, and are automatically
turned off when the AP interface is set down.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.Driver modifications by Johannes Berg (b43 & iwlwifi), Michael Wu
(rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and

Currently, CTS protection is partially implemented twice:
1. via prism2 ioctls, only used by hostapd
2. via STA beacon parsing, recorded in sta.use_protection but never used
(other than printed in debugfs)Protection control should be implemented on a per-subif basis. For example,
a single physical device may be running a soft AP on one channel, and a STA
on another. The AP interface should use protection based on what hostapd told
it, and the STA interface should use protection based on beacon parsing.
These should operate independantly: one subif using protection should not
influence the other.To implement this, I moved the use_protection flag into ieee80211_sub_if_data
and removed the device-global cts_protect_erp_frames flag.I also made the PRISM2_PARAM_CTS_PROTECT_ERP_FRAMES write operation only
available for AP interfaces, to avoid any possibility of the user messing with
the behaviour of a STA.Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake
