* mac80211: clean up debuggingJohannes Berg2012-06-241-27/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sta_info_cleanup locks the sta_list using rcu_read_lock however the delete operation isn't rcu safe. A race between sta_info_cleanup timer being called and a STA being removed can occur which leads to a panic while traversing sta_list. Fix this by switching to the RCU-safe versions.

* mac80211: fix num_mcast_sta counting issuesFelix Fietkau2012-04-241-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving a STA to an AP VLAN prevents num_mcast_sta from being decremented once the STA leaves, because sta->sdata changes. Fix this by checking for AP VLANs as well. Also exclude 4-addr VLAN stations from num_mcast_sta - remote 4-addr stations ignore 3-address multicast frames anyway. In a typical bridge configuration they receive the same packets as 4-address unicast. This patch also fixes clearing the sdata->u.vlan.sta pointer when the STA is removed from a 4-addr VLAN.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dummy STA support was added because I didn't want to change the driver API at the time. Now that we have state transitions triggering station add/remove in the driver, we only call add once a station reaches ASSOCIATED, so we can remove the dummy station stuff again. While at it, tighten the RX check and accept only port control (EAP) frames from the AP station if it's not associated yet -- in other cases there's no race.

* mac80211: implement sta_add/sta_remove in sta_stateJohannes Berg2012-02-061-14/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of maintaining separate sta_add/sta_remove callsites, implement it in sta_state when the driver has no sta_state implementation. The only behavioural change this should cause is in secure mesh mode: with this the station entries will only be created after the stations are set to AUTH. Given which drivers support mesh, this seems to not be a problem. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: add sta_state callbackJohannes Berg2012-02-061-17/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (based on Eliad's patch) Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever the state of a station changes. The driver is only notified when the station is actually in the mac80211 hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions. To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST state. This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in handling it when a station is inserted, particularly in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry around for mac80211 purposes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the driver blocked this specific STA with the help of ieee80211_sta_block_awake we won't clear WLAN_STA_PS_STA later but still decrement num_sta_ps. Hence, the next data frame from this STA will trigger ap_sta_ps_end again and also decrement num_sta_ps again leading to an incorrect num_sta_ps counter. This can result in problems with powersaving clients not waking up from PS because the TIM calculation might be skipped due to the incorrect num_sta_ps counter.

Hence, we shouldn't decrement it in __sta_info_destroy if only WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set. This could result in an incorrect num_sta_ps counter leading to strange side effects with associated powersaving clients. Fix this by only decrementing num_sta_ps when WLAN_STA_PS_STA was set before.

* mac80211: station state transition error handlingJohannes Berg2012-01-301-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the future, when we start notifying drivers, state transitions could potentially fail. To make it easier to distinguish between programming bugs and driver failures: * rename sta_info_move_state() to sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be called before the station is inserted (and check this with a new station flag). * rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be the regular function that can fail for more than just one reason (bad transition or an error from the driver) This makes the programming model easier -- one of the functions can only be called before insertion and can't fail, the other can fail.

This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a station leaves suddenly while ampdu traffic to that station is still running, there is a possibility that the ampdu pending queues are not freed due to a race condition leading to memory leaks. In '__sta_info_destroy' when we attempt to destroy the ampdu sessions in 'ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions', the driver calls 'ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe' to delete the ampdu structures (tid_tx) and splice the pending queues and this job gets queued in sdata workqueue. However, the sta entry can get destroyed before the above work gets scheduled and hence the race. Purging the queues and freeing the tid_tx to avoid the leak. The better solution would be to fix the race, but that can be taken up in a separate patch.

Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that a single frame was going to be released whenever we encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since there could be more than a single frame. To support this model, add a new callback to notify drivers when frames are going to be released.

| * mac80211: optimise station flagsJohannes Berg2011-09-301-16/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been something that I wanted to get rid of, this finally does the conversion to atomic bitops. The conversion itself is straight-forward in most places, a few things needed to change a bit since we can no longer use multiple bits at the same time. On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code size reduction: text data bss dec hex 427861 23648 1008 452517 6e7a5 before 425383 23648 976 450007 6ddd7 after Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * mac80211: reply only once to each PS-pollJohannes Berg2011-09-301-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received) there is no way to detect that since it has no sequence number. As a consequence, the standard asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost). Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual. We could use separate flags, but that will most likely completely confuse drivers, and while the standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite problematic.

| * mac80211: send (QoS) Null if no buffered framesJohannes Berg2011-09-301-10/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For PS-poll, there's a possible race between us expiring a frame and the station polling for it -- send it a null frame in that case. For uAPSD, the standard says that we have to send a frame in each SP, so send null if we don't have any other frames. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

| * mac80211: implement uAPSDJohannes Berg2011-09-301-45/+125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not possible with all devices, so advertising it with the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that want it. Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame. For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided APIs allow releasing the right number of frames, but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data themselves. This is documented in more detail in the new code itself. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered framesJohannes Berg2011-09-301-16/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are frames for a station buffered in the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM IE but there's no way to release them. Add new API to release such frames and use it when the station polls for a frame. Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD it is easily extensible. Note that before this change drivers announcing driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially lower priority frame (if there are any frames buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver that hasn't been changed will no longer respond at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need to be fixed to implement the new API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
| * mac80211: split PS buffers into ACsJohannes Berg2011-09-301-50/+154
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For uAPSD support we'll need to have per-AC PS buffers. As this is a major undertaking, split the buffers before really adding support for uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will never be non-zero. Since book-keeping is complicated, also change the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a station).

| * mac80211: also expire filtered framesJohannes Berg2011-09-301-5/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mac80211 will expire normal PS-buffered frames, but if the device rejected some frames for a sleeping station, these won't be on the ps_tx_buf queue but on the tx_filtered queue instead; this is done to avoid reordering. However, mac80211 will not expire frames from the filtered queue, let's fix that. Also add a more comments to what all this expiry is doing and how it works.

| * mac80211: unify TIM bit handlingJohannes Berg2011-09-301-57/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the TIM bit for a given station is set and cleared all over the place. Since the logic to set/clear it will become much more complex when we add uAPSD support, as a first step let's collect the entire logic in one place. This requires a few small adjustments to other places. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
