brcmsmac: Initialize power in brcms_c_stf_ss_algo_channel_get()

2016-07-19T18:14:20+00:00

wlc_phy_txpower_get_current() does a logical OR of power->flags, which
presumes that power.flags was initiliazed earlier by the caller,
unfortunately, this is not the case, so make sure we zero out the struct
tx_power before calling into wlc_phy_txpower_get_current().

brcmsmac: Free packet if dma_mapping_error() fails in dma_rxfill

2016-07-19T18:14:20+00:00

In case dma_mapping_error() returns an error in dma_rxfill, we would be
leaking a packet that we allocated with brcmu_pkt_buf_get_skb().

brcmfmac: Fix glob_skb leak in brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain

In case brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain() cannot complete a succeful call to
brcmf_sdiod_buffrw, we would be leaking glom_skb and not free it as we
should, fix this.

brcmfmac: defer DPC processing during probe

2016-07-18T19:41:48+00:00

The sdio dpc starts processing when in SDIOD_STATE_DATA. This state was
entered right after firmware download. This patch moves that transition
just before enabling sdio interrupt handling thus avoiding watchdog
expiry which would put the bus to sleep while probing.

brcmfmac: restore stopping netdev queue when bus clogs up

2016-07-18T19:41:16+00:00

When the host-interface bus has hard time handling transmit packets
it informs higher layer about this and it would stop the netdev
queue when needed. However, since commit 9cd18359d31e ("brcmfmac:
Make FWS queueing configurable.") this was broken. With this patch
the behaviour is restored.

brcmfmac: respect hidden_ssid for AP interfaces

2016-07-18T19:34:06+00:00

This was succesfully tested with 4366B1. A small workaround is needed
for the main interface otherwise it would stuck at the hidden state.

brcmfmac: support removing AP interfaces with "interface_remove"

2016-07-08T13:45:47+00:00

New firmwares (e.g. 10.10.69.36 for BCM4366) support "interface_remove"
for removing interfaces. Try to use this method on cfg80211 request. In
case of older firmwares (e.g. 7.35.177.56 for BCM43602 as I tested) this
will just result in firmware rejecting command and this won't change any
behavior.

brcmfmac: delete interface directly in code that sent fw request

2016-07-08T13:45:47+00:00

So far when receiving event about in-firmware-interface removal our
event worker was notifying listener and afterwards it was removing Linux
interface.

First of all it was resulting in slightly unexpected order. The listener
(del_virtual_intf callback) was (usually) returning with success before
we even called unregister_netdev(ice).

Please note this couldn't be simply fixed by changing order of calls in
brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event as unregistering interface earlier could free
struct brcmf_if.

Another problem of current implementation are possible lockups. Focus on
the time slot between calling event handler and removing Linux
interface. During that time original caller may leave (unlocking rtnl
semaphore) *and* another call to the same code may be done (locking it
again). If that happens our event handler will stuck at removing Linux
interface, it won't handle another event and will block process holding
rtnl lock.

This can be simply solved by unregistering interface in a proper
callback, right after receiving confirmation event from firmware. This
only required modifying worker to don't unregister on its own if there
is someone waiting for the event.

nl80211: support beacon report scanning

2016-07-06T12:51:31+00:00

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.

In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.

Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).
