Simon Wunderlich 0430c88347 cfg80211/mac80211: use reduced txpower for 5 and 10 MHz
Some regulations (like germany, but also FCC) express their transmission
power limit in dBm/MHz or mW/MHz. To cope with that and be on the safe
side, reduce the maximum power to half (10 MHz) or quarter (5 MHz)
when operating on these reduced bandwidth channels.

David S. Miller 6bc19fb82d Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Merge 'net' bug fixes into 'net-next' as we have patches
that will build on top of them.

This merge commit includes a change from Emil Goode
(emilgoode@gmail.com) that fixes a warning that would
have been introduced by this merge.  Specifically it
fixes the pingv6_ops method ipv6_chk_addr() to add a
"const" to the "struct net_device *dev" argument and
likewise update the dummy_ipv6_chk_addr() declaration.

Helmut Schaa ac20976dca mac80211: Allow single vif mac address change with addr_mask
When changing the MAC address of a single vif mac80211 will check if
the new address fits into the address mask specified by the driver.
This only needs to be done when using multiple BSSIDs. Hence, check
the new address only against all other vifs.

Also fix the MAC address assignment on new interfaces if the user
changed the address of a vif such that perm_addr is not covered by
addr_mask anymore.

Johannes Berg c8aa22db01 mac80211: close AP_VLAN interfaces before unregistering all
Since Eric's commit efe117ab8 ("Speedup ieee80211_remove_interfaces")
there's a bug in mac80211 when it unregisters with AP_VLAN interfaces
up. If the AP_VLAN interface was registered after the AP it belongs
to (which is the typical case) and then we get into this code path,
unregister_netdevice_many() will crash because it isn't prepared to
deal with interfaces being closed in the middle of it. Exactly this
happens though, because we iterate the list, find the AP master this
AP_VLAN belongs to and dev_close() the dependent VLANs. After this,
unregister_netdevice_many() won't pick up the fact that the AP_VLAN
is already down and will do it again, causing a crash.

A lot of code in mac80211 assumes that the hw queues are
set up correctly for all interfaces (except for monitor)
but this isn't true for AP_VLAN interfaces. Fix this by
copying the AP master configuration when an AP VLAN is
brought up, after this the AP interface can't change its

change it, which also forces AP_VLAN interfaces down, so
just copying in open() is sufficient.

Johannes Berg 2b436312f0 mac80211: fix queue handling crash
The code I added in "mac80211: don't start new netdev queues
if driver stopped" crashes for monitor and AP VLAN interfaces
because while they have a netdev, they don't have queues set
up by the driver.

To fix the crash, exclude these from queue accounting here
and just start their netdev queues unconditionally.

For monitor, this is the best we can do, as we can redirect
frames there to any other interface and don't know which one
that will since it can be different for each frame.

For AP VLAN interfaces, we can do better later and actually
properly track the queue status. Not doing this is really a
separate bug though.

Johannes Berg b2c0958b20 mac80211: fix do_stop handling while suspended
When a device is unplugged while suspended, mac80211 is
de-initialized and all interfaces are removed while no
state is actually present in the driver. This can cause
warnings and driver confusion.

Fix this by reordering the do_stop code to not call the
driver when it is suspended, i.e. when there's no state
in the driver anyway.

The previous patches removed a few corner cases in ROC
and virtual monitor interfaces so that now this is safe
to do and no state should be left over.

Johannes Berg 8d1f7ecd2a mac80211: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roaming
During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter
will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are
removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient
because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must
be called to avoid packet races, although typically no
packets would be flowing during that time.

To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys
are removed (by half a second). This means the counter
will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never
reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition.

Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for
which this optimisation was done to start with, for them
the key removal itself will be expensive because it has
to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to
remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will
look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a
lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately,
during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary.

(*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to
    1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to
    0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both
    keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes
    to 1 first because they're added in software; when a
    key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0

Johannes Berg 0f19b41e22 mac80211: remove ARP filter enable/disable logic
Depending on the driver, having ARP filtering for
some addresses may be possible. Remove the logic
that tracks whether ARP filter is enabled or not
and give the driver the total number of addresses
instead of the length of the list so it can make
its own decision.

Johannes Berg ad2d223aa9 mac80211: assign bss_conf.bssid only once
Instead of checking every time bss_info_changed is called,
assign the pointer once depending on the interface type
and then leave it untouched until the interface type is
changed. This makes the ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify()
now a simple wrapper to call the driver only.

Johannes Berg 75de9113bb mac80211: optimise AP stop RCU handling
If there are VLANs, stopping an AP is inefficient as it
calls rcu_barrier() once for each interface (the VLANs
and the AP itself). Optimise this by moving rcu_barrier()
out of the station cleanups and calling it only once for
all interfaces combined.

Johannes Berg 051007d9e2 mac80211: optimise roaming time again
The last fixes re-added the RCU synchronize penalty
on roaming to fix the races. Split up sta_info_flush()
now to get rid of that again, and let managed mode
(and only it) delay the actual destruction.

Johannes Berg 09f4114e02 mac80211: warn if unexpectedly removing stations
When an interface is brought down it must have been
disconnected (or similar) in all modes other than WDS,
so warn if any stations were removed in other modes.

Johannes Berg b998e8bb3e mac80211: remove final sta_info_flush()
When all interfaces have been removed, there can't
be any stations left over, so there's no need to
flush again. Remove this, and all code associated
with it, which also simplifies the function.

Johannes Berg 97f97b1f5f mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modes
Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae, intended to speed up roaming
by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved
some code into that work item that will still call into the driver
at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the
AP or mesh has been stopped.

To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a
station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are
flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the
stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings
back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate
patch.

Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with
many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down,
due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the
cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be
reverted.
