c1f9a764cf mac80211: check interface is down before type change
For some strange reason the netif_running() check
ended up after the actual type change instead of
before, potentially causing all kinds of problems
if the interface is up while changing the type;
one of the problems manifests itself as a warning:

9b1ce526eb mac80211: fix for incorrect sequence number on hostapd injected frames
When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association
response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface
to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it
possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames.

A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a
failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such
frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients
(especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to
authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the
typo in the address comparison statement.

d419b9f0fa mac80211: fix ibss joining
Recent commit "mac80211: fix logic error ibss merge bssid check" fixed
joining of ibss cell when static bssid is provided. In this case
ifibss->bssid is set before the cell is joined and comparing that address
to a bss should thus always succeed. Unfortunately this change broke the
other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where
the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined.

Since ifibss->bssid may be set before or after joining the cell we do not
learn anything by comparing it to a known bss. Remove this check.

d20ef63d32 mac80211: document ieee80211_rx() context requirement
ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled
since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()
and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not
be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same
time.

It may be possible to remove this requirement after a
careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking
improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around
netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet
processing to process context in mac80211, instead of
to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

51f98f1313 mac80211: fix ibss race
When a scan completes, we call ieee80211_sta_find_ibss(),
which is also called from other places. When the scan was
done in software, there's no problem as both run from the
single-threaded mac80211 workqueue and are thus serialised
against each other, but with hardware scan the completion
can be in a different context and race against callers of
this function from the workqueue (e.g. due to beacon RX).
So instead of calling ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() directly,
just arm the timer and have it fire, scheduling the work,
which will invoke ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() (if that is
appropriate in the current state).

fbc44bf717 mac80211: fix vlan and optimise RX
When receiving data frames, we can send them only to
the interface they belong to based on transmitting
station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also,
don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all
since those interface should only receive data.

Additionally, the transmit side must check that the
station we're sending a frame to is actually on the
interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit
packets to functions that live on other interfaces,
so validate that as well.

Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the
VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite
the sdata variable we still need.

1f08e84ff6 mac80211: Fix [re]association power saving issue on AP side
Consider the following step-by step:
1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges
traffic.
2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state.
3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only
its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state
without sending a disassociation frame.
4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an
Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously.

At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in
the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA.
But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks
TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving.
Because of that authentication/[re]association fails.

To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc
Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power
saving state.

N.B. This patch doesn't fix further data frame exchange after
authentication/[re]association. A patch in hostapd is required to fix
that.

6a211bf1fc mac80211: fix DTIM setting
When the DTIM setting is read from beacons, mac80211 will
assume it is 1 if the TIM IE is not present or the value
is 0. This sounds fine, but the same function processes
probe responses as well, which don't have a TIM IE. This
leads to overwriting any values previously parsed out of
beacon frames.

Thus, instead of checking for the presence of the TIM IE
when setting the default, simply check whether the DTIM
period value is valid already. If the TIM IE is not there
then the value cannot be valid (it is initialised to 0)
and probe responses received after beacons will not lead
to overwriting an already valid value.

384912ed19 net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.

To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.

  # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
  DEVTYPE=wlan
  INTERFACE=wlan0
  IFINDEX=5

This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.

The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

ea77f12f2c mac80211: remove tasklet enable/disable
Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's
no need to ever disable them.

However, we need to clear the pending packets when
taking down the last interface because otherwise
the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the
driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't).

I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in
which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because
a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that
was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the
tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really
should not do that for other reasons, but there's
no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it
should just warn instead.

since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw.

two of them do very similar things, the code for them

bfc32e6a95 mac80211: Decouple fail_avg stats used by mesh from rate control algorithm.
Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric.  This used to
be done inside the rate control module.  This patch breaks the dependency
between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm.  Mesh will now work
independently of the chosen rate control algorithm.

The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for
each mesh peer station.  If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the
peer link is marked as broken.

3ac64beecd mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

Also, minor fix to coding style on that file.

cca89496a8 mac80211: Fix unresolved mesh frames queued without valid control.vif
Mesh frames that could not be immediately resolved were queued with a NULL
info->control.vif.  This patch moves the call to mesh_nexthop_lookup closer to
the point where it is handed over to ieee80211_tx().  This ensures that the
unresolved frames are ready to be sent once the path is resolved.

3c5772a527 mac80211: Use 3-address format for mesh broadcast frames.
The 11s task group recently changed the frame mesh multicast/broadcast frame
format to use 3-address.  This was done to avoid interactions with widely
deployed lazy-WDS access points.

This patch changes the format of group addressed frames, both mesh-originated
and proxied, to use the data format defined in draft D2.08 and forward.  The
address fields used for group addressed frames is:

In 802.11 header
 ToDS:0  FromDS:1
 addr1: DA  (broadcast/multicast address)
 addr2: TA
 addr3: Mesh SA

In address extension header:
 addr4: SA  (only present if frame was proxied)

Note that this change breaks backward compatibility with earlier mesh stack
versions.
