This patch fixes the led behavior in IBSS. After we joined an IBSS cell we
need to inform the led that we got associated. Although there is no 802.11
association in IBSS mode, the semantic of "There is a link" is relevant.
This allows the led to blink in IBSS mode (at least this solves a bug for

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control
API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of
net/mac80211/.
There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking,
we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to
do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control
algorithm or via new API.
Additionally, ath9k is left using the cross-inclusion hack for now, we
will add new API where necessary to make this work properly, but right
now I'm not expert enough to do it. It's still off better than before.

There's no need to register the master netdev with cfg80211,
in fact, this is quite dangerous and lead to having to add
checks for the master interface all over the config handlers.
This patch removes the "ieee80211_ptr" from the master iface
in favour of having a small netdev_priv() associated with
the master interface that stores the ieee80211_local pointer.
Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers
can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also
removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting

The reasons for disabling paccept() are as follows:
* The API is more complex than needed. There is AFAICS no demonstrated
use case that the sigset argument of this syscall serves that couldn't
equally be served by the use of pselect/ppoll/epoll_pwait + traditional
accept(). Roland seems to concur with this opinion
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255). I
have (more than once) asked Ulrich to explain otherwise
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723952/focus=731018), but he
does not respond, so one is left to assume that he doesn't know of such
a case.
* The use of a sigset argument is not consistent with other I/O APIs
that can block on a single file descriptor (e.g., read(), recv(),
connect()).
* The behavior of paccept() when interrupted by a signal is IMO strange:
the kernel restarts the system call if SA_RESTART was set for the
handler. I think that it should not do this -- that it should behave
consistently with paccept()/ppoll()/epoll_pwait(), which never restart,
regardless of SA_RESTART. The reasoning here is that the very purpose
of paccept() is to wait for a connection or a signal, and that
restarting in the latter case is probably never useful. (Note: Roland
disagrees on this point, believing that rather paccept() should be
consistent with accept() in its behavior wrt EINTR
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/723953/focus=732255).)
I believe that instead, a simpler API, consistent with Ulrich's other
recent additions, is preferable:
accept4(int fd, struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t *salen, ind flags);
(This simpler API was originally proposed by Ulrich:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/92072)
If this simpler API is added, then if we later decide that the sigset
argument really is required, then a suitable bit in 'flags' could be added
to indicate the presence of the sigset argument.
At this point, I am hoping we either will get a counter-argument from
Ulrich about why we really do need paccept()'s sigset argument, or that he
will resubmit the original accept4() patch.

I'm trying to use the TCP_MAXSEG option to setsockopt() to set the MSS
for both sides of a bidirectional connection.
man tcp says: "If this option is set before connection establishment, it
also changes the MSS value announced to the other end in the initial
packet."
However, the kernel only uses the MTU/route cache to set the advertised
MSS. That means if I set the MSS to, say, 500 before calling connect(),
I will send at most 500-byte packets, but I will still receive 1500-byte
packets in reply.
This is a bug, either in the kernel or the documentation.
This patch (applies to latest net-2.6) reduces the advertised value to
that requested by the user as long as setsockopt() is called before
connect() or accept(). This seems like the behavior that one would
expect as well as that which is documented.
I've tried to make sure that things that depend on the advertised MSS
are set correctly.

there's no longer need to know what would be the count
changes involve, and since this is really used only as a
terminator, unnecessary work is one time walk at most,
and if some retransmissions are necessary after that
point later on, the walk is not full waste of time
anyway.
Since retransmit_high must be kept valid, all lost
markers must ensure that.

Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be
from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised
because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when
those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore
indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by
passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it.
As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with
a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally.
Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all
the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have
a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface.
This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that
interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not
entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC
address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we
do now.
Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't
assign sequence numbers at all.

Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless
devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation
when they receive a special wireless message. It would also get in the way
of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform
suspend.
To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class
suspend handler.
Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by
themselves in their own suspend handling.
Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on
resume in any situation. This happens after the driver's resume method is
called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are
attached to have been resumed).

We cannot pass a VLAN vif pointer to the driver since those are

The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms
in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that
require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which
rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

This patch fixes mac80211 to not rely on the rate control
algorithm to update sta->tx_retry_failed and sta->tx_retry_count
(even if we don't currently use them), removes a number of
completely unused values we don't even show in debugfs and
changes the code in ieee80211_tx_status() to not look up the
sta_info repeatedly.
The only behaviour change here would be not calling the rate
control function rate_control_tx_status() when no sta_info is
found, but all rate control algorithms ignore such calls anyway.

This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about
stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when
they get around to updating, and might also help with
implementing rate control algorithms without internals.

The bridge_packets configuration really should be per virtual
interface (theoretically per AP/VLAN, but this is much easier);
there currently is no way to set it yet though. Also invert
the option to "NO_BRIDGE_PACKETS" so the default is to bridge.
While at it, also document the flags properly.

When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having
a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been
set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion
can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan
that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it
was a software scan, if the timing is just right.
On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,
just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't
enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case
we would also never restore state of other interfaces.
This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking
ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by
the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are
buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove
the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off
the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable
until you scan once.

When we stop an interface, the work on it may still be pending
or running. We do cancel the timer, but we do not currently
protect against the work struct. The race is very unlikely to
hit -- it'll happen only when the driver is using mac80211's
workqueue to run long-running tasks and the sta/mesh works are
delayed for quite a bit.
This patch fixes it by cancelling the work explicitly.

This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.
Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

The timer restart is done wrongly, we shouldn't set the REQ_RUN
bit when the scan has finished if it hadn't been set before the
scan started. If the timer fires during the scan, it will set
REQ_RUN and then we can run the work for it, if it didn't fire
then we shouldn't run its work either.

This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:
* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel
We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.
Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.
Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.
For more information see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

The previous patch in response to the recursive locking on IPsec
reception is broken as it tries to drop the BH socket lock while in
user context.
This patch fixes it by shrinking the section protected by the
socket lock to sock_queue_rcv_skb only. The only reason we added
the lock is for the accounting which happens in that function.
