2013-10-28{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement mesh channel switch userspace APIChun-Yeow Yeoh1-0/+16
Implement the required procedures for mesh channel switching as defined in the IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 and also handle the CSA and MCSP elements as followed: * Add the function for updating the beacon and probe response frames with CSA and MCSP elements during the period of switching to the new channel. Both CSA and MCSP elements must be included in beacon and probe response frames until the intended channel switch time. * The ifmsh->csa_settings is set to NULL and the CSA and MCSP elements will then be removed from the beacon or probe response frames once the new channel is switched to.

2013-10-28mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() helper functionFelix Fietkau1-0/+29
This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or ieee80211_nullfunc_get. This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but need rate control information to be prepared first.

2013-09-26mac80211: add support for CSA in IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich1-4/+33
This function adds the channel switch announcement implementation for the IBSS code. It is triggered by userspace (mac80211/cfg) or by external channel switch announcement, which have to be adopted. Both CSAs in beacons and action frames are supported. As for AP mode, the channel switch is applied after some time. However in IBSS mode, the channel switch IEs are generated in the kernel.

According to 802.11-2012 9.3.2.10, paragraph 4, QoS data frames with a group address in the Address 1 field have sequence numbers allocated from the same counter as non-QoS data and management frames. Without this flag, some drivers may not assign sequence numbers, and in rare cases frames might get dropped. Set the control flag accordingly.

A lot of drivers check the frame protocol for ETH_P_PAE, for various reasons (like making those more reliable).

Change mac80211 LED trigger code to use the generic led_trigger_blink_oneshot() API for transmit and receive activity indication.

The various components accessing the bitrates table must use consider the used channel bandwidth to select only available rates or calculate the bitrate correctly. There are some rates in reduced bandwidth modes which can't be represented as multiples of 500kbps, like 2.25 MBit/s in 5 MHz mode.

2013-05-29mac80211: always send multicast on CAB queueJohannes Berg1-2/+3
If the driver advertised support for a CAB queue, then we should put all multicast frames there, otherwise sending them can be racy with clients going to sleep while we TX a frame. To avoid this, always TX multicast frames on the multicast queue. It seems like even drivers not using the queue framework might want to do this which would mean also moving the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM flag assignment, but it also seems that drivers behave differently here so that just moving it wouldn't be a good idea. It'd be better to modify those drivers to use the queue framework. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-04-22mac80211: improve the rate control APIFelix Fietkau1-108/+34
Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

2013-04-16mac80211: fix CTS protection handlingFelix Fietkau1-0/+8

2013-04-16mac80211: fix and optimize MCS mask handlingFelix Fietkau1-5/+5
Currently the code always copies the configured MCS mask (even if it is set to default), but only uses it if legacy rates were also masked out. Fix this by adding a flag that tracks whether the configured MCS mask is set to default or not. Optimize the code further by storing a pointer to the configured rate mask in txrc instead of using memcpy.

2013-04-11mac80211: always pick a basic rate to tx RTS/CTS for pre-HT ratesKarl Beldan1-4/+7
When the 1st rate control entry is a pre-HT rate we want to set rts_cts_rate_idx "as the fastest basic rate that is not faster than the data rate"(code comments). But in case some bss allowed rate indexes are lower than the lowest bss basic rate, if the rate control selects a rate among the formers for its 1st rate control entry, rts_cts_rate_idx remains 0 and is not a basic rate index. This commit sets rts_cts_rate_idx to the lowest bss basic rate index in this situation. Note that the code assumes that lowest indexes == lowest bitrates.

2013-02-15mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handlingJohannes Berg1-0/+2
In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata.

2013-02-11mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scansSeth Forshee1-0/+15
Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch1-9/+22
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

When we had a connection for WoWLAN and after resume it needed to be disconnected, the previous commit enabled sending a deauth frame to the AP. This frame would not go through on MFP-enabled networks as the key for it is marked tainted before the frame is transmitted. Allow a tainted key to be used for deauth frames. Worst case, we'll use a wrong key because the PTK was rekeyed while suspended, but more likely the PTK is still fine and the taint flag really only applies to the GTK(s).

2013-01-25mac80211: avoid a build warningArnd Bergmann1-4/+4
gcc cannot prove that the value of sdata->vif.type does not change between the switch() statement and the second comparison to NL80211_IFTYPE_AP, causing a harmless warning. Slightly reordering the code makes the warning go away with no functional change. Without this patch, building ARM at91sam9g45_defconfig with gcc-4.6 results in: net/mac80211/tx.c: In function 'ieee80211_subif_start_xmit': net/mac80211/tx.c:1797:22: warning: 'chanctx_conf' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Cc: "John W.
