2019-10-04mac80211: simplify TX aggregation startJohannes Berg1-1/+8
There really is no need to make drivers call the ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() function and then schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit. Add a new return value (that was previously considered invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.

The netfilter conflicts were rather simple overlapping changes. However, the cls_tcindex.c stuff was a bit more complex. On the 'net' side, Cong is fixing several races and memory leaks. Whilst on the 'net-next' side we have Vlad adding the rtnl-ness support. What I've decided to do, in order to resolve this, is revert the conversion over to using a workqueue that Cong did, bringing us back to pure RCU. I did it this way because I believe that either Cong's races don't apply with have Vlad did things, or Cong will have to implement the race fix slightly differently. Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-02-11mac80211: Fix Tx aggregation session tear down with ITXQsIlan Peer1-1/+3
When mac80211 requests the low level driver to stop an ongoing Tx aggregation, the low level driver is expected to call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() to indicate that it is ready to stop the session. The callback in turn schedules a worker to complete the session tear down, which in turn also handles the relevant state for the intermediate Tx queue. However, as this flow in asynchronous, the intermediate queue should be stopped and not continue servicing frames, as in such a case frames that are dequeued would be marked as part of an aggregation, although the aggregation is already been stopped. Fix this by stopping the intermediate Tx queue, before calling the low level driver to stop the Tx aggregation.

2019-01-19mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling APIToke Høiland-Jørgensen1-1/+1
This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty). The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying about breaking the loop. Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time. In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the scheduler.

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows: - The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead, the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq() - Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied).

2017-12-11mac80211: call synchronize_net once in the restart flowSara Sharon1-1/+2
Currently the restart flow enables RX back, and then proceeds to tear down RX and TX aggregations. The TX aggregation tear down calls synchronize_net(), which waits for packet receiving to be done. This is done for every session, while RX processing is already active, and in some reproductions it takes up to 3 seconds. Add a call once in the restart_work, before we have traffic active again, and remove the subsequent calls when tearing down the aggregation. This requires to move down the code that turns off the reconfig flag in order to be able to test it in _ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session().

Additionally, disable soft-IRQs, since not doing so could cause issues in a driver that relies on them already being disabled like in the other path.

2017-05-30mac80211: fix TX aggregation start/stop callback raceJohannes Berg1-76/+52
When starting or stopping an aggregation session, one of the steps is that the driver calls back to mac80211 that the start/stop can proceed. This is handled by queueing up a fake SKB and processing it from the normal iface/sdata work. Since this isn't flushed when disassociating, the following race is possible: * associate * start aggregation session * driver callback * disassociate * associate again to the same AP * callback processing runs, leading to a WARN_ON() that the TID hadn't requested aggregation If the second association isn't to the same AP, there would only be a message printed ("Could not find station: <addr>"), but the same race could happen. Fix this by not going the whole detour with a fake SKB etc. but simply looking up the aggregation session in the driver callback, marking it with a START_CB/STOP_CB bit and then scheduling the regular aggregation work that will now process these bits as well. This also simplifies the code and gets rid of the whole problem with allocation failures of said skb, which could have left the session in limbo.

2016-06-09mac80211: implement fair queueing per txqMichal Kazior1-2/+6
mac80211's software queues were designed to work very closely with device tx queues. They are required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation easily and efficiently. Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness. This change doesn't translate directly to immediate and significant gains. End result depends on driver's induced latency. Best results can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

2015-03-30mac80211: reject aggregation sessions with non-HT peersJohannes Berg1-1/+4
If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies QoS), reject it. This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec. However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions it's better to reject them. Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it captures the error cases as well.

Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low level driver to implement WMM admission control. The low level driver needs to report the media time used by each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the admission controlled Access Category when the limit is reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored, mac80211 will do so. One issue with this approach is that management frames will also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended to driver- or device-based implementations that are better.

2013-01-24mac80211: fix aggregation state with current driversJohannes Berg1-7/+10
For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done, like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens in the following way: - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested - driver marks TID as emptying - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets to the TX pending queues and also let new packets through to the driver - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely converted to the new API In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 Tx while agg.state = 4 Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:0 Tainted: G W 3.1.0 #1 Call Trace: [<c1046e42>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<c1046f13>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x40 [<fddffa17>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 [iwldvm] [<fddfcaa3>] iwlagn_mac_tx+0x23/0x40 [iwldvm] [<fd8c98b6>] __ieee80211_tx+0xf6/0x3c0 [mac80211] [<fd8cbe00>] ieee80211_tx+0xd0/0x100 [mac80211] [<fd8cc176>] ieee80211_xmit+0x96/0xe0 [mac80211] [<fd8cc578>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x348/0xc80 [mac80211] [<c1445207>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x337/0x6d0 [<c145eee9>] sch_direct_xmit+0xa9/0x210 [<c14462c0>] dev_queue_xmit+0x1b0/0x8e0 Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race just let the race not reach the drivers by making two changes: 1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in the managed mode code, the same thing will be done when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy. 2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped. It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta later, but until then any racy packets will be put onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted which is fine since the station is being removed.

When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few different cases: - connection with the peer was dropped - session stop was requested locally - session stop was requested by the peer - connection was dropped while a session is stopping The behaviour in these cases should be different, if the connection is dropped then the driver should drop all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of the peer requesting session stop. Split these different cases so that the driver can act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as aggregated packets any more. In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-01-03mac80211: split aggregation stop by reasonJohannes Berg1-9/+8
The initiator/tx doesn't really identify why an aggregation session is stopped, give a reason for stopping that more clearly identifies what's going on. This will help tell the driver clearly what is expected of it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-07-07mac80211: request TX status for BlockAck RequestsChristian Lamparter1-1/+2
Because ieee80211_tx_status in status.c checks if outgoing BlockAck requests have been acked, it is necessary to tell the driver that tx feedback for this sort of frame is important. Otherwise, the stack will continue to send the same BlockAck request over and over, which can cause the receiver to flush or clean its reorder buffer over and over.

2012-06-24mac80211: clean up debuggingJohannes Berg1-31/+41
There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

2012-04-11mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg1-19/+20
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue is full and then try to send an off-channel frame the frame will never go out. This will become worse when we support multi-channel since then a queue on one channel might be full, but we have to stop the software queue for all channels. That is obviously not desirable. To address this problem allow drivers to register more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue the corresponding AC software queues on the correct interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally, there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This allows drivers to manage software queues closer to how the hardware works. Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues. This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it as needed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-09mac80211: optimize aggregation session timeout handlingFelix Fietkau1-2/+16
Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the timeout doesn't need to be so precise. Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp. Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems running on battery. This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded systems.

2011-12-19mac80211: split addba retries in timeNikolay Martynov1-0/+19
Currently code allows three (HT_AGG_MAX_RETRIES) unanswered addba requests. When this limit is reached aggregation is turned off for given TID permanently. This doesn't seem right: three requests is not that much, some 'blackout' can happen, but effect of it affects whole connection indefinitely. This patch increases number of retries to 15. Also, when there have been 3 or more retries it splits further retries apart by 15 seconds instead of sending them in very short period of time.
