2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add disconnect managment commandJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a disconnect command to the managment interface. Using this command user space is able to force the disconnection of connected devices. The command maps directly to the Disconnect HCI command. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add connected/disconnected management eventsJohan Hedberg
This patch adds connected and disconnected managment events to track the connection status to remote devices. The events map directly to successful connection complete and disconnection complete HCI events for ACL links. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Implement link key handling for the management interfaceJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a management commands to feed the kernel with all stored link keys as well as remove specific ones or all of them. Once the load_keys command has been called the kernel takes over link key replies. A new_key event is also added to inform userspace of newly created link keys that should be stored permanently.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add class of device control to the management interfaceJohan Hedberg
This patch adds the possibility for user space to fully control the Class of Device value of local adapters. To control the service class bits each UUID that's added comes with a service class "hint" which acts as a mask of bits that the UUID needs to have enabled. The set_service_cache management command is used to make sure we queue up all UUID changes as user space initializes its drivers and then send a single HCI_Write_Class_of_Device command when initialization is complete.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Implement a more complete adapter initialization sequenceJohan Hedberg
Using the managment interface means that user space doesn't need to do any HCI command sending at all. This patch moves the remaining initialization commands from user space to the kernel side. The patch makes use of the new feature of __hci_request which allows the request to be dynamically modified while it is ongoing (something that is needed to react appropriately to the local features and the version of the adapter).

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Remove page timeout setting from HCI init sequenceJohan Hedberg
User space should set the page timeout so there's no need to explicitly set it in the HCI init sequence. Even if user space fails to set it the controller default value will be used. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add controller side link key clearing to hci_init_reqJohan Hedberg
The controller may have link keys in its own memory and these keys could be used for secure connections. However, since the interface to access these keys doesn't provide information about the key types (which would be needed to infer the level of security each key provides) using these keys is rather useless. Therefore, simply clear the controller side list in the initialization procedure. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add special handling with __hci_request and HCI_INITJohan Hedberg
To support a more dynamic HCI initialization sequence the __hci_request behavior requires some more changes. Particularly, the init sequence should be able to have conditionals in it (sending some HCI commands depending on the outcome of a previous command) instead of being a fixed list as it is right now. The reasons for these additional requirements are the moving all previously user space driven initialization commands to the kernel side as well as the support the Low Energy controllers. To fulfull these requirements the init sequence is made the only special case for multi-command requests and req_last_cmd is renamed to init_last_cmd. The hci_send_cmd function is changed to update init_last_cmd as long as the HCI_INIT flag is set. Signed-off-by: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Gustavo F. Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Reject pairing requests when in non-pairable modeJohan Hedberg
This patch adds the necessary logic to act accordingly when the HCI_PAIRABLE flag is not set.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Implement UUID handling through the management interfaceJohan Hedberg
This patch adds methods to the management interface for userspace to notify the kernel of which services have been registered for specific adapters. This information is needed for setting the appropriate Class of Device value as well as the Extended Inquiry Response value. This patch doesn't actually implement setting of these values but just provides the storage of the UUIDs so the needed functionality can be built on top of it.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Implement set_pairable managment commandJohan Hedberg
This patch implements a new set_pairable management command to control the pairable state of local adapters. The state is represented using a new HCI_PAIRABLE flag in the hci_dev struct. For backwards compatibility with older user space versions the HCI_PAIRABLE flag gets automatically set when the existence of an adapter is reported to user space through legacy methods and the HCI_MGMT flag is not set.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add send_mode_rsp convenience function for mgmt.cJohan Hedberg

Padovan <padovan@profusion.mobi>
2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add flag to track managment controlled adaptersJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a HCI_MGMT flag to track adapters which are under the control of the management interface. This is needed to make sure that new kernels will work with old user space versions. I.e. behaviour which could break old user space versions (but is needed by the management interface) should not be exhibited when the HCI_MGMT flag is not set.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Add set_connectable management commandJohan Hedberg
This patch adds a set_connectable command as well as a corresponding event to the management interface. It's mainly useful for setting an adapter as connectable from a non-initialized state as well as setting an already initialized adapter as non-connectable (mostly useful for qualification purposes).

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Implement automatic setup procedure for local adaptersJohan Hedberg
This patch implements automatic initialization of basic information about newly registered Bluetooth adapters. E.g. the address and features are always needed so it makes sense for the kernel to automatically power on adapters and read this information. A new HCI_SETUP flag is added to track this state. In order to not consume unnecessary amounts of power if there isn't a user space available that could switch the adapter back off, a timer is added to do this automatically as long as no Bluetooth user space seems to be present. A new HCI_AUTO_OFF flag is added that user space needs to clear to avoid the automatic power off. Additionally, the management interface index_added event is moved to the end of the HCI_SETUP stage so a user space supporting the managment inteface has all the necessary information available for fetching when it gets notified of a new adapter. The HCI_DEV_REG event is kept in the same place as before since existing HCI raw socket based user space versions depend on seeing the kernels initialization sequence (hci_init_req) to determine when the adapter is ready for use.

2011-02-08Bluetooth: Use non-flushable by default L2CAP data packetsAndrei Emeltchenko
Modification of Nick Pelly <npelly@google.com> patch. With Bluetooth 2.1 ACL packets can be flushable or non-flushable. This commit makes ACL data packets non-flushable by default on compatible chipsets, and adds the BT_FLUSHABLE socket option to explicitly request flushable ACL data packets for a given L2CAP socket. This is useful for A2DP data which can be safely discarded if it can not be delivered within a short time (while other ACL data should not be discarded). Note that making ACL data flushable has no effect unless the automatic flush timeout for that ACL link is changed from its default of 0 (infinite).

Since 4-addr frames completely override the source address which will make it into the converted 802.3 frames, receiving frames for other 4-addr stations will confuse the bridging code. To be able to handle traffic for all connected devices, the bridge code will automatically turn on promiscuous mode, which triggers this problem.

2011-02-04mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.Ben Greear
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.

2011-02-04ath9k: add additional checks for the baseband hang detectionFelix Fietkau
Since even with the latest changes the false positive issue of the baseband hang check is not fully solved yet, additional checks are needed. If the baseband hang occurs, the rx_clear signal will be stuck to high, so we can use the cycle counters to confirm it.

2011-02-04ath: Fix clearing of secondary key cache entry for TKIPJouni Malinen
All register writes to the key cache have to be done in pairs. However, the clearing of a separate MIC entry with hardware revisions that use combined MIC key layout did not do that with one of the registers. Add the matching register write to the following register to make the KEY4 register write actually complete. This is mostly a fix for a theoretical issue since the incorrect entry that could potentially be left behind in the key cache would not match with received frames. Anyway, better make this code clean the entry correctly using paired register writes. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-02-04mac80211: do not restart ps timer during scan or offchannelRajkumar Manoharan
While leaving oper channel, STA informs sleep state to AP to stop sending data. Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by the following warning.

Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270).

2011-02-04zd1211rw: add beacon watchdog and setting HW beacon more failsafeJussi Kivilinna
When doing tx/rx at high packet rate (for example simply using ping -f), device starts to fail to respond to control messages. On non-AP modes this only causes problems for LED updating code but when we are running in AP-mode we are writing new beacon to HW usually every 100ms. Now if control message fails in HW beacon setup, device lock is kept locked and beacon data partially written. This can and usually does cause: 1. HW beacon setup fail now on, as driver cannot acquire device lock. 2. Beacon-done interrupt stop working as device has incomplete beacon. Therefore make zd_mac_config_beacon() always try to release device lock and add beacon watchdog to restart beaconing when stall is detected. Also fix zd_mac_config_beacon() try acquiring device lock for max 500ms, as what old code appeared to be trying to do using loop and msleep(1).

2011-02-04mac80211: fix race between next beacon dtim and ieee80211_get_buffered_bcChristian Lamparter
On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]: Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance, there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6) which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*. The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic and of course, they might miss it completely. It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).
