iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station less

struct, many places need not look at the station
table any more since they can just pull the station
ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and

This reduces the amount of code needed to find the

mac80211 passes the station only after it has been
fully initialised, ie. even if TX races with

the addition is complete.

14 years agoiwlwifi: rework broadcast station management
Johannes Berg [Thu, 29 Apr 2010 07:53:29 +0000 (00:53 -0700)]
iwlwifi: rework broadcast station management

Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.

Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.

So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.

As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.

Johannes Berg [Wed, 5 May 2010 13:25:02 +0000 (15:25 +0200)]
cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.

In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.

The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).

Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.

mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.

One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.

Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):

 * different HT/no-HT modes

   currently you could start an HT AP and then
   connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
   which would configure the hardware for no HT;
   that can be fixed fairly easily

 * CSA

   An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
   might indicate switching channels, and in that
   case we would follow it, regardless of how many
   other interfaces are operating; this requires
   more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

to know since for all it is concerned we accepted the deauth that
also kills the association attempt.

Fix this by, upon receipt of deauth request, removing the association work

iwlwifi: recalculate average tpt if not current

Previously it was an error with a recalculation if not current, return that
code.

The BUG_ON was introduced by:
commit 3110bef78cb4282c58245bc8fd6d95d9ccb19749

    iwlwifi: Added support for 3 antennas

... the portion adding the BUG_ON is reverted since we are encountering the error
and BUG_ON was created with assumption that error is not encountered.

mac80211: improve IBSS scanning

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.

Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
are fixed.
