Johannes Berg says: "Here are a few fixes for the wireless stack: one fixes the RTS rate, one for a debugfs file, one to return the correct channel to userspace, a sanity check for a userspace value and the remaining two are just documentation fixes." Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

lib80211: remove unused print_ssid()

2014-10-14T00:18:27Z

In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer. All users now switched to that approach. This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are required and the rest of the string ends up cut off. Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their alphabetic representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used for messaging only.

nl80211: sanity check the channel switch counter value

2014-10-09T09:25:11Z

The nl80211 channel switch count attribute (NL80211_ATTR_CH_SWITCH_COUNT) is specified as u32, but the specification uses u8 for the counter. To make sure strange things don't happen without informing the user, sanity check the value and return -EINVAL if it doesn't fit in u8. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless-next 2014-09-22 Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time, I have some rate minstrel improvements, support for a very small feature from CCX that Steinar reverse-engineered, dynamic ACK timeout support, a number of changes for TDLS, early support for radio resource measurement and many fixes. Also, I'm changing a number of places to clear key memory when it's freed and Intel claims copyright for code they developed." For the bluetooth bits, Johan says: "Here are some more patches intended for 3.18. Most of them are cleanups or fixes for SMP. The only exception is a fix for BR/EDR L2CAP fixed channels which should now work better together with the L2CAP information request procedure." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I fix here dvm which was broken by my last pull request. Arik continues to work on TDLS and Luca solved a few issues in CT-Kill. Eyal keeps digging into rate scaling code, more to come soon. Besides this, nothing really special here." Beyond that, there are the usual big batches of updates to ath9k, b43, mwifiex, and wil6210 as well as a handful of other bits here and there. Also, rtlwifi gets some btcoexist attention from Larry. Please let me know if there are problems! ==================== Had to adjust the wil6210 code to comply with Joe Perches's recent change in net-next to make the netdev_*() routines return void instead of 'int'.

cfg80211: allow requesting SMPS mode on ap start

2014-09-11T11:37:02Z

Add feature bits to indicate device support for static-smps and dynamic-smps modes. Add a new NL80211_ATTR_SMPS_MODE attribue to allow configuring the smps mode to be used by the ap (e.g. configuring to ap to dynamic smps mode will reduce power consumption while having minor effect on throughput) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211/mac80211: add wmm info to assoc event

2014-09-11T10:24:39Z

Userspace might need to know what queues are configured for uapsd (e.g. for setting proper default values in tspecs). Add this bitmap to the association event (inside wmm nested attribute) Add additional parameter to cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp, and update its callers.

cfg80211: add WMM traffic stream API

2014-09-11T10:21:18Z

Add nl80211 and driver API to validate, add and delete traffic streams with appropriate settings. The API calls for userspace doing the action frame handshake with the peer, and then allows only to set up the parameters in the driver. To avoid setting up a session only to tear it down again, the validate API is provided, but the real usage later can still fail so userspace must be prepared for that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: clear nl80211 messages carrying keys after processing

2014-09-11T10:07:39Z

Clear any nl80211 messages that might contain keys after processing them to avoid leaving their data in memory "forever" after they've been freed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
