95ddc1fc45 cfg80211: bitrate calculation for 60g
60g band uses different from .11n MCS scheme, so bitrate
should be calculated differently

8eb41c8dfb {nl,cfg}80211: support high bitrates
Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value.
With VHT bitrates this becomes too small.

Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report
both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't
fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one
will be reported.

User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if
available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)

c5a7e58249 cfg80211: fix locking regression in monitor channel tracking
Michal's monitor channel tracking introduce a locking problem
as it locked the rdev lock inside the netdev notifier which
isn't allowed as we might already hold it if we get there by
removing an interface that is up.

Fix this by relying only on the RTNL to protect the interface
counters, the RTNL is always held in these code paths anyway.

Add enumerations for both cfg80211 and nl80211.
This expands wiphy.bands etc. arrays.

Extend channel <-> frequency translation to cover 60g band
and modify the rate check logic since there are no legacy
mandatory rates (only MCS is used.)

d4e50c5917 cfg80211: add channel checking for iface combinations
.connect cannot be handled since the driver scans
and connects on its own. It is up to the driver
then to refuse a connection (with -EBUSY for
example).

Non-fixed channel IBSSes always take a single
channel resource. For example two non-fixed
channel IBSSes always take up 2
num_different_channels, even if they operate on
the same channel at a given point of time.

dbbae26afa cfg80211: track monitor interfaces count
Implements .set_monitor_enabled(wiphy, enabled).

Notifies driver upon change of interface layout.

If only monitor interfaces become present it is
called with 2nd argument being true. If
non-monitor interface appears then 2nd argument
is false. Driver is notified only upon change.

This makes it more obvious about the fact that
cfg80211 supports single monitor channel. Once we
implement multi-channel we don't want to allow
setting monitor channel while other interface
types are running. Otherwise it would be ambiguous
once we start considering num_different_channels.

AP and mesh for channel context accounting and

dfb89c56ad cfg80211: don't allow WoWLAN support without CONFIG_PM
When CONFIG_PM is disabled, no device can possibly
support WoWLAN since it can't go to sleep to start
with. Due to this, mac80211 had even rejected the
hardware registration. By making all the code and
data for WoWLAN depend on CONFIG_PM we can promote
this runtime error to a compile-time error.

Add #ifdef around all WoWLAN code to remove it in
systems that don't need it as they never suspend.

46c1dd0c7f cfg80211: fix regression in multi-vif AP start
Commit "cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function" assumes that the
channel is always passed to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP command, however
in case of multi-BSSID, hostapd only passes the channel for the first vif.
This makes starting beaconing on secondary vifs fail with -EINVAL.

Fix this by storing the channel provided to .start_ap in wdev->preset_chan
and picking the first AP vif's channel for secondary vifs if not provided.

(in TUs). The default value for this variable is set to
2000 TUs. However, for current implementation, the maximum
configurable of dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval is

fe20b39ec3 cfg80211: fix potential deadlock in regulatory
reg_timeout_work() calls restore_regulatory_settings() which
takes cfg80211_mutex.

reg_set_request_processed() already holds cfg80211_mutex
before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(reg_timeout),
so it might deadlock.

Call the async cancel_delayed_work instead, in order
to avoid the potential deadlock.

This is the relevant lockdep warning:

f8cdddb8d6 cfg80211: check iface combinations only when iface is running
Don't validate interface combinations on a stopped
interface. Otherwise we might end up being able to
create a new interface with a certain type, but
won't be able to change an existing interface
into that type.

This also skips some other functions when
interface is stopped and changing interface type.

ebf348fcd0 cfg80211: validate remain-on-channel time better
The remain-on-channel time validation shouldn't
depend on the value of HZ, as it does now with
the check against jiffies, since then you might
use a value that works on one system but not on
another. Fix it by checking against a minimum
that's fixed.

Also add validation of the wait duration for a
management frame TX since this also translates
into remain-on-channel internally.

e8c9bd5b8d cfg80211: clarify set_channel APIs
Now that we've removed all uses of the set_channel
API except for the monitor channel and in libertas,
clarify this. Split the libertas mesh use into a
new libertas_set_mesh_channel() operation, just to
keep backward compatibility, and rename the normal
set_channel() to set_monitor_channel().

Also describe the desired set_monitor_channel()
semantics more clearly.

cc1d2806bf cfg80211: provide channel to join_mesh function
Just like the AP mode patch, instead of setting
the channel and then joining the mesh network,
provide the channel to join the network on to
the join_mesh() function.

Like in AP mode, you can also give the channel
to the join-mesh nl80211 command now.

Unlike AP mode, it picks a default channel if
none was given.

As libertas uses mesh mode interfaces but has
no join_mesh callback and we can't simply break
it, keep some compatibility code for that case
and configure the channel directly for it.

In the non-libertas case, where we store the
channel until join, allow setting it while the
interface is down.

685d12a192 cfg80211: disallow setting channel on WDS interfaces
If it worked (Felix says it doesn't right now), the
typical use-case for WDS interfaces would be to be
slaved to AP mode interfaces. Therefore, it isn't
necessary to set the channel on WDS interfaces. As
they don't support powersave or anything like that,
they also couldn't use a different channel anyway.

aa430da410 cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function
Instead of setting the channel first and then
starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel
and provide it as one of the AP settings.

This means that now you have to set the channel
before you can start an AP interface, but since
hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK
with this change.

Alternatively, it's now possible to give the
channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211
command, overriding any preset channel.

Change cfg80211_can_beacon_sec_chan() to return true
if there is no secondary channel to simplify all the
current users of it. They all check the channel type
before calling the function because it returns false
if there's no secondary channel.

Also actually document the return value.

If a given interface combination doesn't contain
a required interface type then we missed checking
that and erroneously allowed it even though iface
type wasn't there at all. Add a check that makes

28f333666e cfg80211: use sme_state in ibss start/join path
CFG80211_DEV_WARN_ON() at "net/wireless/ibss.c line 63"
is unnecessarily triggered even after successful connection,
when cfg80211_ibss_joined() is called by driver inside
.join_ibss handler.

This patch fixes the problem by changing 'sme_state' in ibss path
and having WARN_ON() check for 'sme_state' similar to infra
association.
