mac80211: gracefully handle preexisting VIF 2017-12-13T14:29:01+00:00 Jo-Philipp Wich jo@mein.io 2017-05-14T17:47:07+00:00 f0a493160cbc3feb683b6efb23ec80e0564d1be2 Gracefully handle cases where the to-be-created wireless interface already exists on the system which might commonly happen with non-multi-SSID capable wireless drivers. This fixes commit 8301e613655c2d95fa5430a1a57d92d966fdc70b which caused previously ignored "Too many open files in system (-23)" errors to fail the wireless setup procedure. With the updated approach we'll still try recreating the vif after one second if the first attempt to do so failed with ENFILE but we will now consider the operation successfull if a second attempt still yields ENFILE with the requested ifname already existing on the system.

previously ignored "Too many open files in system (-23)" errors to fail the

mac80211: Fix race condition leading to wifi interfaces not coming up at boot sometimes. 2017-12-13T13:52:24+00:00 Vittorio Gambaletta openwrt@vittgam.net 2017-03-14T13:45:15+00:00 62a8252a0f32d6c148e4565354fd6a99da13fa41 In the drv_mac80211_setup function, mac80211_interface_cleanup is called to ask the kernel to delete all existing interfaces for the phy that is being configured via netlink. Later in the first function, mac80211_prepare_vif is called to set up the new interfaces as required. But sometimes, when mac80211_prepare_vif (and so the relevant `iw phy x interface add y` command) runs, the kernel might still be cleaning up the old interface with the same ifname. It usually takes very few time to do that; possibly a few milliseconds of sleep in the script after detecting this error condition could be enough, but the busybox sh does not support sub-second sleep intervals. When this happens, iw obviously fails to create the new interface; and the following message is printed in the system log, followed by subsequent failure messages from hostapd in case this would have been an AP interface.
