cfg80211: Make pre-CAC results valid only for ETSI domain

2017-03-06T12:54:15+00:00

DFS requirement for ETSI domain (section 4.7.1.4 in
ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1) is the only one which explicitly
states that once DFS channel is marked as available afer
the CAC, this channel will remain in available state even
moving to a different operating channel. But the same is
not explicitly stated in FCC DFS requirement. Also, Pre-CAC
requriements are not explicitly mentioned in FCC requirement.
Current implementation in keeping DFS channel in available
state is same as described in ETSI domain.

For non-ETSI DFS domain, this patch gives a grace period of 2 seconds
since the completion of successful CAC before moving the channel's
DFS state to 'usable' from 'available' state. The same grace period
is checked against the channel's dfs_state_entered timestamp while
deciding if a DFS channel is available for operation. There is a new
radar event, NL80211_RADAR_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED, reported when DFS channel
is moved from available to usable state after the grace period. Also
make sure the DFS channel state is reset to usable once the beaconing
operation on that channel is brought down (like stop_ap, leave_ibss
and leave_mesh) in non-ETSI domain.

cfg80211: mesh: track (and thus validate) beacon interval

2016-10-27T07:08:45+00:00

This is needed for beacon interval validation; if we don't
store it, then new interfaces added won't validate that the
beacon interval is the same as existing ones. Fix this.

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

2016-04-12T13:56:15+00:00

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

cfg80211: export interface stopping function

2014-05-06T13:16:34+00:00

This exports a new cfg80211_stop_iface() function.

This is intended for driver internal interface
combination management and channel switching.

Due to locking issues (it re-enters driver) the
call is asynchronous and uses cfg80211 event
list/worker.

cfg80211/mac80211: move interface counting for combination check to mac80211

2014-04-09T08:55:43+00:00

Move the counting part of the interface combination check from
cfg80211 to mac80211.

This is needed to simplify locking when the driver has to perform a
combination check by itself (eg. with channel-switch).

cfg80211/mac80211: refactor cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required()

2014-04-09T08:55:41+00:00

Some interface types don't require DFS (such as STATION, P2P_CLIENT
etc).  In order to centralize these decisions, make
cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() take the iftype into consideration.

cfg80211: Enable GO operation on additional channels

2014-04-09T08:55:34+00:00

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT
iff there is an active station interface that is associated to
an AP operating on the same channel in the 2 GHz band or the same UNII band
(in the 5 GHz band). This relaxation is not allowed if the channel is
marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR.

Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions,
that require a clear assessment that the device operating the AP is
an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection and DFS capabilities.

It is assumed that such restrictions are enforced by user space.
Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for
the operation of the GO on such a channel change, i.e., the station
interface disconnected from the AP, it is the responsibility of user
space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

cfg80211: remove radar requirements check from cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan()

2014-02-21T08:33:10+00:00

We don't have to double check whether the parameters passed to
cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan() are correct.  We should just make sure
they *are* when we call this function.

Remove the radar_detect argument check in
cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan() to simplify the code.

cfg80211: consider existing DFS interfaces

2014-02-04T20:58:17+00:00

It was possible to break interface combinations in
the following way:

 combo 1: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 2, num_chans = 2,
 combo 2: iftype = AP, num_ifaces = 1, num_chans = 1, radar = HT20

With the above interface combinations it was
possible to:

 step 1. start AP on DFS channel by matching combo 2
 step 2. start AP on non-DFS channel by matching combo 1

This was possible beacuse (step 2) did not consider
if other interfaces require radar detection.

The patch changes how cfg80211 tracks channels -
instead of channel itself now a complete chandef
is stored.

cfg80211: Add support for QoS mapping

2013-12-19T15:29:22+00:00

This allows QoS mapping from external networks to be implemented as
defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.24.9. APs can use this to advertise
DSCP ranges and exceptions for mapping frames to a specific UP over
Wi-Fi.

The payload of the QoS Map Set element (IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 8.4.2.97)
is sent to the driver through the new NL80211_ATTR_QOS_MAP attribute to
configure the local behavior either on the AP (based on local
configuration) or on a station (based on information received from the
AP).
