ath5k: drop warning on jumbo frames

Jumbo frames are not supported, and if they are seen it is likely
a bogus frame so just silently discard them instead of warning on
them all time. Also, instead of dropping them immediately though
move the check *after* we check for all sort of frame errors. This
should enable us to discard these frames if the hardware picks
other bogus items first. Lets see if we still get those jumbo
counters increasing still with this.

Jumbo frames would happen if we tell hardware we can support
a small 802.11 chunks of DMA'd frame, hardware would split RX'd
frames into parts and we'd have to reconstruct them in software.
This is done with USB due to the bulk size but with ath5k we
already provide a good limit to hardware and this should not be
happening.

This is reported quite often and if it fills the logs then this
needs to be addressed and to avoid spurious reports.

iwlwifi: rework broadcast station management

Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.

Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.

So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.

As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.

While the channel is not usually changed while associated (and currently we

while associated, mac80211 will re-set the current channel to the driver. This
caused our problem.

Also, the mac80211 is assuming that the driver channel configuration remains
persistent over periods of IDLE. Therefore remove channel resetting to zero

Currently, when one interface switches HT mode,

is not possible when another interface is in

Johannes Berg [Wed, 5 May 2010 13:25:02 +0000 (15:25 +0200)]
cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling

Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.

In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.

The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).

Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.

mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.

One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.

Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):

 * different HT/no-HT modes

   currently you could start an HT AP and then
   connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
   which would configure the hardware for no HT;
   that can be fixed fairly easily

 * CSA

   An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
   might indicate switching channels, and in that
   case we would follow it, regardless of how many
   other interfaces are operating; this requires
   more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.

   => This also indicates poor maintainability.

 * relies heavily on several spinlocks.

As explained by Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>:

We authenticate successfully, and then userspace requests association.
Then we start that process, but the AP doesn't respond. While we're
still waiting for an AP response, userspace asks for a deauth. We do
the deauth, but don't abort the association work. Then once the
association work times out we tell cfg80211, but it no longer wants
to know since for all it is concerned we accepted the deauth that
also kills the association attempt.

Fix this by, upon receipt of deauth request, removing the association work
and continuing to send the deauth.

Unfortunately the user reporting the issue is not able to reproduce this
problem anymore and cannot verify this fix. This seems like a well understood
issue though and I thus present the patch.

ar9170: wait for asynchronous firmware loading

This patch fixes a regression introduced by the following patch:
"ar9170: load firmware asynchronously"

When we kick off a firmware loading request and then unbind,
or disconnect the usb device right away, we get into trouble:

Avoid that by waiting for the firmware loading to finish
(whether successfully or not) before the unbind in
ar9170_usb_disconnect.
