* mac80211: fix remain-on-channel cancellationJohannes Berg2016-01-141-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Ilan's previous commit 1b894521e60c ("mac80211: handle HW ROC expired properly") neglected to take into account that hw_begun was now always set in the software implementation as well as the offloaded case. Fix hw_begun to only apply to the offloaded case to make the check in Ilan's commit safe and correct. Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: recalculate SW ROC only when neededJohannes Berg2016-01-141-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current (new) code recalculates the new work timeout for software remain-on-channel whenever any item started. In two of the callers of ieee80211_handle_roc_started(), this is completely pointless since they're for hardware and will skip the recalculation entirely; it's necessary only in the case of having just added a new item to the list, as in the last remaining case the recalculation had just been done. This last case, however, is also problematic - if one of the items on the list actually expires during the recalc the list iteration outside becomes corrupted and crashes. Fix this by moving the recalculation to the only place where it's required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: handle HW ROC expired properlyIlan Peer2015-12-071-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of HW ROC, when the driver reports that the ROC expired, it is not sufficient to purge the ROCs based on the remaining time, as it possible that the device finished the ROC session before the actual requested duration. To handle such cases, in case of ROC expired notification from the driver, complete all the ROCs which are marked with hw_begun, regardless of the remaining duration.

* mac80211: reject zero cookie in mgmt-tx/roc cancelJohannes Berg2015-12-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cancelling, you can cancel "any" (first in list) mgmt-tx or remain-on-channel operation by using the value 0 for the cookie along with the *opposite* operation, i.e. * cancel the first mgmt-tx by cancelling roc with 0 cookie * cancel the first roc by cancelling mgmt-tx with 0 cookie This isn't really that bad since userspace should only pass cookies that we gave it, but could lead to hard-to-debug issues so better prevent it and reject zero values since we never hand those out.

* mac80211: rewrite remain-on-channel logicJohannes Berg2015-12-041-286/+313
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jouni found a bug in the remain-on-channel logic: when a short item is queued, a long item is combined with it extending the original one, and then the long item is deleted, the timeout doesn't go back to the short one, and the short item ends up taking a long time. In this case, this showed as blocking scan when running two test cases back to back - the scan from the second was delayed even though all the remain-on-channel items should long have been gone. Fixing this with the current data structures turns out to be a bit complicated, we just remove the long item from the dependents list right now and don't recalculate the timeouts. There's a somewhat similar bug where we delete the short item and all the dependents go with it; to fix this we'd have to move them from the dependents to the real list. Instead of trying to do that, rewrite the code to not have all this complexity in the data structures: use a single list and allow more than one entry in it being marked as started. This makes the code a bit more complex, the worker needs to understand that it might need to just remove one of the started items, while keeping the device off-channel, but that's not more complicated than the nested data structures. This then fixes both issues described, and makes it easier to also limit the overall off-channel time when combining. TODO: as before, with hardware remain-on-channel, deleting an item after combining results in cancelling them all - we can keep track of the time elapsed and only cancel after that to fix this.

* mac80211: simplify ack_skb handlingJohannes Berg2015-12-041-5/+3

* mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg2015-06-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

* mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possibleEmmanuel Grumbach2015-01-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

* mac80211: introduce refcount for queue_stop_reasonsLuciano Coelho2014-06-231-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch). Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds a refcount instead. In order to keep it backwards compatible, introduce a boolean in some functions that tell us whether the queue stopping should be refcounted or not. For now, use not refcounted for all calls to keep it functionally the same as before. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: fix on-channel remain-on-channelJohannes Berg2014-05-141-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jouni reported that if a remain-on-channel was active on the same channel as the current operating channel, then the ROC would start, but any frames transmitted using mgmt-tx on the same channel would get delayed until after the ROC. The reason for this is that the ROC starts, but doesn't have any handling for "remain on the same channel", so it stops the interface queues. The later mgmt-tx then puts the frame on the interface queues (since it's on the current operating channel) and thus they get delayed until after the ROC. To fix this, add some logic to handle remaining on the same channel specially and not stop the queues etc. in this case. This not only fixes the bug but also improves behaviour in this case as data frames etc. can continue to flow.

* mac80211: fix software remain-on-channel implementationJohannes Berg2014-04-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jouni reported that when doing off-channel transmissions mixed with on-channel transmissions, the on-channel ones ended up on the off-channel in some cases. The reason for that is that during the refactoring of the off- channel code, I lost the part that stopped all activity and as a consequence the on-channel frames (including data frames) were no longer queued but would be transmitted on the temporary channel. Fix this by simply restoring the lost activity stop call.

* mac80211: Run deferred scan if last roc_list item is not startedJouni Malinen2013-09-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mac80211 scan processing could get stuck if roc work for pending, but not started when a scan request was deferred due to such roc item. Normally the deferred scan would be started from ieee80211_start_next_roc(), but ieee80211_sw_roc_work() calls that only if the finished ROC was started. Fix this by calling ieee80211_run_deferred_scan() in the case the last ROC was not actually started. This issue was hit relatively easily in P2P find operations where Listen state (remain-on-channel) and Search state (scan) are repeated in a loop.

* mac80211: Add flushes before going off-channelSeth Forshee2013-02-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've got a couple of races when enabling powersave with an AP for off-channel operation. The first is fairly simple. If we go off-channel before the nullfunc frame to enable PS is transmitted then it may not be received by the AP. Add a flush after enabling off-channel PS to prevent this from happening. The second race is a bit more subtle. If the driver supports QoS and has frames queued when the nullfunc frame is queued, those frames may get transmitted after the nullfunc frame. If PM is not set then the AP is being told that we've exited PS before we go off-channel and may try to deliver frames. To prevent this, add a flush after stopping the queues but before passing the nullfunc frame to the driver.

* mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scansSeth Forshee2013-02-111-20/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS. Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered by AP. To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was before.

Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code by removing the ability to use different channel types.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.

* mac80211: do remain-on-channel while idleJohannes Berg2012-06-061-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The IDLE handling in HW off-channel is broken right now since we turn off IDLE only when the off-channel period already started. Therefore, all drivers that use it today (only iwlwifi!) must support off-channel while idle, so playing with idle isn't needed at all. Off-channel in general, since it's no longer used for authentication/association, shouldn't affect PS, so also remove that logic. Also document a small caveat for reporting TX status from off-channel frames in HW remain-on-channel. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: clean up remain-on-channel on interface stopJohannes Berg2012-06-041-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When any interface goes down, it could be the one that we were doing a remain-on-channel with. We therefore need to cancel the remain-on-channel and flush the related work structs so they don't run after the interface has been removed or even destroyed. It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case. Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes the off-channel period without ever starting it.

* mac80211: always clear SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flagEliad Peller2012-01-041-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If the vif is stopped while it is offchannel (e.g. right after p2p negotiation) the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flag is never get cleared, resulting in various bad effects (e.g. GO can't start beaconing). Fix it by clearing the SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL flag even if the vif is stopped. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: revert on-channel work optimisationsJohannes Berg2011-11-301-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The on-channel work optimisations have caused a number of issues, and the code is unfortunately very complex and almost impossible to follow. Instead of attempting to put in more workarounds let's just remove those optimisations, we can work on them again later, after we change the whole auth/assoc design. This should fix rate_control_send_low() warnings, see RH bug 731365. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
