5bf6fcc2bb mac80211: Check pending scan request after having processed mgd work
When the queued management work items are processed in
ieee80211_sta_work() an item could be removed. This could change the
anybusy from true to false, so we better check whether we can start a
new scan only after having processed the pending work first.

15db0b7fd8 mac80211: fix scan cancel on ifdown
When an interface is taken down while a scan is
pending -- i.e. a scan request was accepted but
not yet acted upon due to other work being in
progress -- we currently do not properly cancel
that scan and end up getting stuck. Fix this by
doing better checks when an interface is taken
down.

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.

3d54d25515 cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change
When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.

To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.

A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

f7969969f4 cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable
Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.

So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.

And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

01a0ac417c cfg80211: check lost scans later, fix bug
When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after
the driver. However, it currently does this too early,
it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a
scan request is still pending and exit if not.

84f6a01ce0 mac80211: fix configure_filter invocation after stop
Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast
configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct.
This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue
the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke
configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is
a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work
since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw.

Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and
two of them do very similar things, the code for them
can be put into a shared function at the same time.

ad002395fd cfg80211: fix dangling scan request checking
My patch "cfg80211: fix deadlock" broke the code it

it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since
the original patch had a deadlock.

Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check
off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But
that has some more complications, like needing to
wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be
destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric.  This used to

between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm.  Mesh will now work

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.

by removing the module/device.

36e6fea849 cfg80211: check for and abort dangling scan requests
If you trigger a scan request on an interface and then
take it down, or rmmod the module or unplug the device
the driver might "forget" to cancel the scan request.
That is a bug in the driver, but the current behaviour
is that we just hang endlessly waiting for the netdev
refcount to become 0 which it never will. To improve
robustness, check for this situation in cfg80211, warn
about it and clean up behind the driver. I don't just
clean up silently because it's likely that the driver
also has some internal state it has now leaked.

Additionally, this fixes a locking bug, clearing the
scan_req pointer should be done under the rdev lock.

Finally, we also need to _wait_ for the scan work and
not just abort it since it might be pending and wanting
to do a cleanup.

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.

18889231e4 mac80211: Move mpath and mpp growth to mesh workqueue.
This prevents calling rcu_synchronize from within the tx path by moving the
table growth code to the mesh workqueue.

Move mesh_table_free and mesh_table_grow from mesh.c to mesh_pathtbl.c and
declare them static.

Also, re-enable mesh in Kconfig and update the configuration description.

5b36583425 mac80211: Assign a default mesh beaconing interval.
The mesh stack was enabling beaconing without specifying an interval.  This
patch defines a default beaconing interval of 1s.

Incidentally, this fixes mesh beaconing in mac80211_hwsim devices.

5815814bfa mac80211: Early detection of broken mesh paths when using minstrel.
This change triggers a path discovery as soon as the link quality degrades
below a certain threshold.  This results in a faster path recovery time than
by simply relying on the periodic path refresh mechanism to detect broken
links.

d403a1c66e mac80211: Update the station failed frames average when minstrel is used.
The fail_avg value is used to compute the mesh metric, and was only being set
by the pid rate control module. This fixes the mesh path selection mechanism
for cards that use mistrel for rate control.
