2015-01-08mac80211: provide per-TID RX/TX MSDU countersJohannes Berg1-0/+12
Implement the new counters cfg80211 can now advertise to userspace. The TX code is in the sequence number handler, which is a bit odd, but that place already knows the TID and frame type, so it was easiest and least impact there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-11-19mac80211: synchronously reserve TID per stationLiad Kaufman1-0/+6
In TDLS (e.g., TDLS off-channel) there is a requirement for some drivers to supply an unused TID between the AP and the device to the FW, to allow sending PTI requests and to allow the FW to aggregate on a specific TID for better throughput. To ensure that the allocated TID is indeed unused, this patch introduces an API for blocking the driver from TXing on that TID.

2014-11-19mac80211: introduce TDLS channel switch opsArik Nemtsov1-0/+3
Implement the cfg80211 TDLS channel switch ops and introduce new mac80211 ones for low-level drivers. Verify low-level driver support for the new ops when using the relevant wiphy feature bit. Also verify the peer supports channel switching before passing the command down. Add a new STA flag to track the off-channel state with the TDLS peer and make sure to cancel the channel-switch if the peer STA is unexpectedly removed.

Adding a timeout for tearing down a TDLS connection that hasn't had ACKed traffic sent through it for a certain amount of time.

2014-09-03mac80211: fix offloaded BA session traffic after hw restartMichal Kazior1-0/+3
When starting an offloaded BA session it is unknown what starting sequence number should be used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except after hw restart. When hw restart is requested last_seq is (rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary BA window values resulting in dropped frames until sequence numbers caught up. Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed frame of a given BA session. This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k).

Some drivers (e.g. ath10k) report A-MSDU subframes individually with identical seqno. The A-MPDU Rx reorder code did not account for that which made it practically unusable with drivers using RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE because it would end up dropping a lot of frames resulting in confusion in upper network transport layers.

2014-07-21mac80211: track TDLS initiator internallyArik Nemtsov1-0/+3
Infer the TDLS initiator and track it in mac80211 via a STA flag. This avoids breaking old userspace that doesn't pass it via nl80211 APIs. The only case where userspace will need to pass the initiator is when the STA is removed due to unreachability before a teardown packet is sent. Support for unreachability was only recently added to wpa_supplicant, so it won't be a problem in practice.

2014-06-23cfg80211: make ethtool the driver's responsibilityJohannes Berg1-0/+2
Currently, cfg80211 tries to implement ethtool, but that doesn't really scale well, with all the different operations. Make the lower-level driver responsible for it, which currently only has an effect on mac80211. It will similarly not scale well at that level though, since mac80211 also has many drivers.

2014-06-23mac80211: remove ignore_plink_timer flagBob Copeland1-2/+0
The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the ignore_plink_timer flag. It seems the original intent was to handle this race: cpu 0 cpu 1 ----- ----- start timer handler for state X acquire sta_lock change state from X to Y mod_timer() / del_timer() release sta_lock acquire sta_lock execute state Y timer too soon However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to detect these cases is broken. As a result, timers get ignored unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state machine. Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration. In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following (LISTEN/ESTAB) states since they won't have timers anyway.

2014-06-23mac80211: fix station/driver powersave raceJohannes Berg1-2/+5
It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS unblock work like this: * station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver * driver blocks wakeup * station wakes up again * driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules the unblock work * unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set) * we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again * ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake, while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be dropped. Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering, so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done, this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

2014-02-20mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup raceEmmanuel Grumbach1-4/+3
There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be processed while a packet is being transmitted. This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in the TX path. As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time. Additionally, it can lead to the crash below. Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock. Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations. In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to reduce locking overhead.

2013-10-28mac80211: implement SMPS for APEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+5
When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS, we send an action frame to each associated station and reconfigure the channel context / driver. Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-4/+0
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

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.

2013-01-03mac80211: fix station destruction in AP/mesh modesJohannes Berg1-1/+2
Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae5b, intended to speed up roaming by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved some code into that work item that will still call into the driver at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the AP or mesh has been stopped. To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate patch. Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down, due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be reverted.

Add support to mac80211 for having drivers report received VHT MCS information. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg1-2/+2
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-19mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS and use itJohannes Berg1-10/+9
Introduce IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS in the generic 802.11 header file and use it in place of STA_TID_NUM and NUM_RX_DATA_QUEUES which are both really the number of TIDs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-09-10mac80211: use call_rcu() on sta deletionEliad Peller1-0/+2
mac80211 calls synchronize_rcu() on sta deletion, which increase the roaming time significantly. Convert it into a call_rcu() mechanism, in order to avoid blocking. Since some of the cleanup functions might sleep, schedule from the call_rcu callback a new work that will do the actual cleanup. In order to make sure the cleanup occurs before the interface went down, flush local->workqueue on ieee80211_do_stop().

spatch/coccinelle isn't perfect. It doesn't understand __aligned(x) and doesn't convert functions it can't parse. Convert the remaining compare_ether_addr uses. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
