* mac80211: don't resize skbs needlesslyIdo Yariv2014-08-261-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Header-less cloned skbs with sufficient headroom need not be cloned unless the tailroom is going to be modified. Fix ieee80211_skb_resize so it would only resize cloned skbs if either the header isn't released or the tailroom is going to be modified. Some drivers might have assumed that skbs are never cloned, so add a HW flag that explicitly permits cloned TX skbs. Drivers which do not modify TX skbs should set this flag to avoid copying skbs.

* mac80211: split sched scan IEsDavid Spinadel2014-06-251-19/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split sched scan IEs to band specific and not band specific blocks. Common IEs blocks may be sent to the FW once per command, instead of per band. This allows optimization of size of the command, which may be required by some drivers (eg. iwlmvm with newer firmware version). As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers to use the new version correctly, even if they don't (yet) make use of the split data.

* mac80211: add a single-transaction driver op to switch contextsLuciano Coelho2014-05-261-0/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, when the driver is already using all the channel contexts it can handle at once, we have to do an in-place switch (ie. we cannot afford using an extra context temporarily for the transaction). But some drivers may not support switching the channel context assigned to a vif on the fly (ie. without unassigning and assigning it) while others may only work if the context is changed on the fly, without unassigning it first. To allow these different scenarios, add a new driver operation that let's the driver decide how to handle an in-place switch.

* mac80211: fix CSA tx queue stoppingMichal Kazior2014-05-061-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible for tx queues to be stuck stopped if AP CSA finalization failed. In that case neither stop_ap nor do_stop woke the queues up. This means it was impossible to perform tx at all until driver was reloaded or a successful CSA was performed later. It was possible to solve this in a simpler manner however this is more robust and future proof (having multi-vif CSA in mind). New sdata->csa_block_tx is introduced to keep track of which interfaces requested tx to be blocked for CSA. This is required because mac80211 stops all tx queues for that purpose. This means queues must be awoken only when last tx-blocking CSA interface is finished. It is still possible to have tx queues stopped after CSA failure but as soon as offending interfaces are stopped from userspace (stop_ap or ifdown) tx queues are woken up properly.

* mac80211: allow reservation of a running chanctxLuciano Coelho2014-04-091-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With single-channel drivers, we need to be able to change a running chanctx if we want to use chanctx reservation. Not all drivers may be able to do this, so add a flag that indicates support for it. Changing a running chanctx can also be used as an optimization in multi-channel drivers when the context needs to be reserved for future usage. Introduce IEEE80211_CHANCTX_RESERVED chanctx mode to mark a channel as reserved so nobody else can use it (since we know it's going to change). In the future, we may allow several vifs to use the same reservation as long as they plan to use the chanctx on the same future channel.

No driver ever used it, so that was fine. Now I'm adding support for NAPI to our driver, so add some code to mac80211 again to support NAPI. John was originally wrapping some (but not nearly all NAPI-related functions), but that doesn't scale very well with the number of functions that are there, some of which are even only inlines. Thus, instead of doing that, let the drivers manage the NAPI struct, except for napi_add() which is needed so mac80211 knows how to call napi_gro_receive(). Also remove some no longer needed definitions that were left when NAPI support was removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A beacon should never have a Channel Switch Announcement information element with a count of 0, because a count of 1 means switch just before the next beacon. So, if a count of 0 was valid in a beacon, it would have been transmitted in the next channel already, which is useless. A CSA count equal to zero is only meaningful in action frames or probe_responses. Fix the ieee80211_csa_is_complete() and ieee80211_update_csa() functions accordingly. With a CSA count of 0, we won't transmit any CSA beacons, because the switch will happen before the next TBTT. To avoid extra work and potential confusion in the drivers, complete the CSA immediately, instead of waiting for the driver to call ieee80211_csa_finish(). To keep things simpler, we also switch immediately when the CSA count is 1, while in theory we should delay the switch until just before the next TBTT. Additionally, move the ieee80211_csa_finish() function to cfg.c, where it makes more sense.

| * mac80211: add pre-RCU-sync sta removal driver operationJohannes Berg2013-12-161-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, mac80211 allows drivers to keep RCU-protected station references that are cleared when the station is removed from the driver and consequently needs to synchronize twice, once before removing the station from the driver (so it can guarantee that the station is no longer used in TX towards the driver) and once after the station is removed from the driver. Add a new pre-RCU-synchronisation station removal operation to the API to allow drivers to clear/invalidate their RCU-protected station pointers before the RCU synchronisation. This will allow removing the second synchronisation by changing the driver API so that the driver may no longer assume a valid RCU-protected pointer after sta_remove/sta_state returns. The alternative to this would be to synchronize_rcu() in all the drivers that currently rely on this behaviour (only iwlmvm) but that would defeat the purpose.

| * nl80211: vendor command supportJohannes Berg2013-12-031-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for vendor-specific commands to nl80211. This is intended to be used for really vendor-specific functionality that can't be implemented in a generic fashion for any reason. It's *NOT* intended to be used for any normal/generic feature or any optimisations that could be implemented across drivers. Currently, only vendor commands (with replies) are supported, no dump operations or vendor-specific notifications. Also add a function wdev_to_ieee80211_vif() to mac80211 which is needed for mac80211-based drivers wanting to implement any vendor commands. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| * mac80211: add min required channel definition fieldEliad Peller2013-11-251-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new field to ieee80211_chanctx_conf to indicate the min required channel configuration. Tuning to a narrower channel might help reducing the noise level and saving some power. The min required channel definition is the max of all min required channel definitions of the interfaces bound to this channel context. In AP mode, use 20MHz when there are no connected station. When a new station is added/removed, calculate the new max bandwidth supported by any of the stations (e.g. 80MHz when 80MHz and 40MHz stations are connected). In other cases, simply use bss_conf.chandef as the min required chandef. Notify drivers about changes to this field by calling drv_change_chanctx with a new CHANGE_MIN_WIDTH notification.

| * mac80211: add generic cipher scheme supportMax Stepanov2013-11-251-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds generic cipher scheme support to mac80211, such schemes are fully under control by the driver. On hw registration drivers may specify additional HW ciphers with a scheme how these ciphers have to be handled by mac80211 TX/RR. A cipher scheme specifies a cipher suite value, a size of the security header to be added to or stripped from frames and how the PN is to be verified on RX.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Limit the current implementation to a single channel context used by a single vif, thereby avoiding multi-vif/channel complexities. Reuse the main function from AP CSA code, but move a portion out in order to fit the STA scenario. Add a new mac80211 HW flag so we don't break devices that don't support channel switch with channel-contexts. The new behavior will be opt-in.
