The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes config_interface and rolls all the information it previously passed to drivers into bss_info_changed. Signed-off-by:

The callback function write_tx_data() can only fail when our ENTRY_OWNER_DEVICE_DATA flag on a queue entry failed to determine the entry was not available and it is in fact still owned by the hardware. This means that if that function fails the queue must be stopped in mac80211. When rt2x00queue_get_queue() returns NULL in the TX path, it means mac80211 has passed us an invalid queue, although this should be impossible, it shouldn't hurt if we send mac80211 a signal to stop the queue either. Both issues can simply be resolved by removing their manual failure handler and making them use the failure path provided in rt2x00mac_tx(). Signed-off-by:

With the new configuration handling, and more specifically splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value. This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization. When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured once as soon as the config() callback function is called. Signed-off-by:

mac80211 will call set_key() when the device is shutting down. When the device is unplugged the keys will be lost automatically due to the power loss. When the device is not plugged but the module is only unloaded the keys can remain in the device hardware, when the module is loaded the keys will be cleaned up during initialization. This should prevent the problem reported by Johannes Berg, where unplugging the device while suspended resulted in a NULL pointer error during set_key() which was caused because of the CSR base address being freed.

Some hardware configuration registers such as antenna and channel configuration can only be written when the radio is enabled. Previously, we didn't consider this, so some configuration items could be set inconsistently after reenabling the radio. This patch changes the config() handler to only reprogram the hardware when the radio is enabled. Configuration changes that are made while the radio is off are postponed until the radio is switched back on. We also leave the radio turned off during initialization and only enable it when requested by mac80211. This allows us to get rid of the DIRTY_CONFIG flag, because the device is now guaranteed to be completely initialized when brought up by mac80211. Signed-off-by:

Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important are those that can change often and indicate the actual state of the device, queue or queue entry. The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;) Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates, which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the race conditions. Among those the notorious: rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0. rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0. rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

Various rt2x00 devices support hardware encryption. Most of them require the IV/EIV to be generated by mac80211, but require it to be provided seperately instead of within the frame itself. This means that rt2x00lib should extract the data from the frame and place it in the frame descriptor. During RX the IV/EIV is provided in the descriptor by the hardware which means that it should be inserted into the frame by rt2x00lib. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes mac80211 to not use the skb->cb over the queue step from virtual interfaces to the master. The patch also, for now, disables aggregation because that would still require requeuing, will fix that in a separate patch. There are two other places (software requeue and powersaving stations) where requeue can happen, but that is not currently used by any drivers/not possible to use respectively. Signed-off-by:

rt2x00 will only perform configuration changes from mac80211 when the configuration option has changed. This means it keeps track of the current active configuration and will check these values when the config() callback function is used. However this causes breakage when the interface has been brought down and up again, since all stored active values aren't reset while the registers might have. This is for example the case with rt61pci antenna registers which will jump to invalid values when the interface has been started. To make sure a full configuration takes place after the start() callback function, a new flag is added which will be checked during config() and skips the "what's changed" phase. Signed-off-by:

When IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is not set, the driver should disable hardware sequence counting to make sure the mac80211 provided counter is used. This fixes QOS sequence counting, since that is one of the cases where mac80211 provides a seperate sequence counter. By moving the sequence counting code to rt2x00queue we make sure that _all_ frames get the sequence counter, including RTS/CTS and Beacon frames. Signed-off-by:

This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed through mac80211's TX path. This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped. Signed-off-by:

Finally, it removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling. The interface work task uses the mac80211 function ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock. However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock. This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue, this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the RTNL lock.

TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the queue. This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached, will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame. In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.
