* mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation startJohannes Berg2009-03-271-36/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps: 1) print a debug message 2) wake the virtual queue 3) notify the driver Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both places where TX aggregation can become operational. Additionally, rename the driver notification from IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Tear down aggregation sessions for suspend/resumeSujith2009-03-271-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>. This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend. Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress. This is fixed by marking the station as being in suspend state and denying ADDBA requests for such STAs.

* mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg2009-02-271-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

* mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queuesJohannes Berg2009-02-271-60/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

* mac80211: further cleanups to stopping BA sessionsJohannes Berg2009-02-131-30/+33
| | | | | | | | Essentially consisting of passing the sta_info pointer around, instead of repeatedly doing hash lookups. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: fix race in TX aggregationJohannes Berg2009-02-131-47/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | When disabling TX aggregation because it was rejected or from the timer (it was not accepted), there is a window where we first set the state to operation, unlock, and then undo the whole thing. Avoid that by splitting up the stop function. Also get rid of the pointless sta_info indirection in the timer. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: hardware should not deny going back to legacyJohannes Berg2009-02-131-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Doing so would be an MLME protocol violation when the peer disabled the aggregation session. Quick driver review indicates that there are error codes passed all over the drivers but cannot ever be nonzero except in error conditions that would indicate mac80211 bugs. No real changes here, since no drivers currently can return -EBUSY. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: restrict aggregation to supported interface modesJohannes Berg2009-02-131-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | We can only support aggregation on AP/STA right now. HT isn't defined for IBSS, WDS or MESH. In the WDS/MESH cases it's not clear what to put into the IBSS field, and we don't handle that in the code at all. Also fix the code to handle VLAN correctly.
