2017-01-11mac80211: recalculate min channel width on VHT opmode changesJohannes Berg1-1/+3
When an associated station changes its VHT operating mode this can/will affect the bandwidth it's using, and consequently we must recalculate the minimum bandwidth we need to use. Failure to do so can lead to one of two scenarios: 1) we use a too high bandwidth, this is benign 2) we use a too narrow bandwidth, causing rate control and actual PHY configuration to be out of sync, which can in turn cause problems/crashes Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-12-13mac80211: Remove unused 'sband' and 'local' variablesKirtika Ruchandani1-4/+0
Commit b1bce14a7954 (mac80211: update opmode when adding new station) refactored ieee80211_vht_handle_opmode into __ieee80211_vht_handle_opmode and ieee80211_vht_handle_opmode leaving a set but unused variable (sband) in the former. Compiling with W=1 gives the following warning, fix it. net/mac80211/vht.c: In function ‘__ieee80211_vht_handle_opmode’: net/mac80211/vht.c:424:35: warning: variable ‘sband’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Remove 'struct ieee80211_local* local' as well, it was only used to set sband. This is a harmless warning, and is only being fixed to reduce the noise with W=1 in the kernel.

2016-11-15mac80211: Ignore VHT IE from peer with wrong rx_mcs_mapFilip Matusiak1-0/+16
This is a workaround for VHT-enabled STAs which break the spec and have the VHT-MCS Rx map filled in with value 3 for all eight spacial streams, an example is AR9462 in AP mode. As per spec, in section 22.1.1 Introduction to the VHT PHY A VHT STA shall support at least single spactial stream VHT-MCSs 0 to 7 (transmit and receive) in all supported channel widths. Some devices in STA mode will get firmware assert when trying to associate, examples are QCA9377 & QCA6174.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it.

2016-04-05mac80211: TDLS: change BW calculation for WIDER_BW peersArik Nemtsov1-5/+25
The previous approach simply ignored chandef restrictions when calculating the appropriate peer BW for a WIDER_BW peer. This could result in a regulatory violation if both peers indicated 80MHz support, but the regdomain forbade it. Change the approach to setting a WIDER_BW peer's BW. Don't exempt it from the chandef width at first. If during TDLS negotiation the chandef width is upgraded, update the peer's BW to match.

2014-05-09mac80211: allow VHT with peers not capable of 40MHzJohannes Berg1-3/+6
There are two (related) issues with this. One case, reported by Michal, is related to hostap: it unsets the 20/40 capability bit for stations that associate when it's in 20 MHz mode. The other case, reported by Eyal, is that some APs like Netgear R6300v2 and probably others based on the BCM4360 chipset can be configured for doing VHT at 20Mhz. In this case the beacon has a VHT IE but the HT cap indicates transmitter only support 20Mhz. In both of these cases, we currently avoid VHT and use only HT this means we can't use the highest rates (MCS8), so fixing this leads to throughput improvements.

Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more than one device and the devices have different capabilities (often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise, due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-0/+39
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...)
