* cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg2016-04-121-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | 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. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| * mac80211: close the SP when we enqueue frames during the SPEmmanuel Grumbach2016-04-051-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we enqueued the frame that was supposed to be sent during the SP, and that frame may very well cary the IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP bit, we may never close the SP (WLAN_STA_SP will never be cleared). If that happens, we will not open any new SP and will never respond to any poll frame from the client. Clear WLAN_STA_SP manually if a frame that was polled during the SP is queued because of a starting A-MPDU session. The client may not see the EOSP bit, but it will at least be able to poll new frames in another SP.

| * mac80211: don't send deferred frames outside the SPEmmanuel Grumbach2016-04-051-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frames that are sent between ampdu_action(IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START) and the move to the HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state are buffered. If we try to start an A-MPDU session while the peer is sleeping and polling frames with U-APSD, we may have frames that will be buffered by ieee80211_tx_prep_agg. These frames have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set since they are sent to a sleeping client and possibly IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP. If the frame is buffered, we need clear these two flags since they will be re-sent after the move to HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state which is very likely to happen after the SP ends.

This avoids the need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only supported for debugging purposes. To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mesh path and mesh gate hashtables are global, containing all of the mpaths for every mesh interface, but the paths are all tied logically to a single interface. The common case is just a single mesh interface, so optimize for that by moving the global hashtable into the per-interface struct. Doing so allows us to drop sdata pointer comparisons inside the lookups and also saves a few bytes of BSS and data.

* mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected framesSven Eckelmann2016-02-241-2/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit e6a9854b05c1 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API"). The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of tests.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful to see our own beacons that are transmitted by the hardware/driver. However, this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues. Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are getting fetched by the driver. Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by drivers to indicate that they report TX status for beacons.

This state is kept until Tx status for released frame is reported. While a station is in Service Period PS-Poll frames are ignored. However if PS-Poll was received during A-MPDU teardown it was possible to have the to-be released frame re-queued back to pending queue. In such case the frame was stripped of 2 important flags: (a) IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER (b) IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP Stripping of (a) led to the frame that was to be released to be queued back to ps_tx_buf queue. If station remained to use only PS-Poll frames the re-queued frame (and new ones) was never actually transmitted because mac80211 would ignore subsequent PS-Poll frames due to station being in Service Period. There was nothing left to clear the Service Period bit (no xmit -> no tx status -> no SP end), i.e. the AP would have the station stuck in Service Period. Beacon TIM would repeatedly prompt station to poll for frames but it would get none. Once (a) is not stripped (b) becomes important because it's the main condition to clear the Service Period bit of the station when Tx status for the released frame is reported back. This problem was observed with ath9k acting as P2P GO in some testing scenarios but isn't limited to it. AP operation with mac80211 based Tx A-MPDU control combined with clients using PS-Poll frames is subject to this race.

Thus we should always have an associated sta before sending data frames to that station. Failure to check assoc state can cause crashes in the lower-level driver due to transmitting unicast data frames before driver sta structures (e.g. ampdu state in ath9k) are initialized. This occurred when forwarding in the presence of fixed mesh paths: frames were transmitted to stations with whom we hadn't yet completed peering.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 conversion to the fast-xmit path lost proper aggregation session timeout handling - the last_tx wasn't set on that path and the timer would therefore incorrectly tear down the session periodically (with those drivers/rate control algorithms that have a timeout.)

* mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key structJohannes Berg2015-06-021-9/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct. As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of the internal TKIP state. As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it. This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer share a cacheline.

In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it once before the regular TX processing. Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of looking up the destination station twice in the TX path (first to build the header, and then for control processing), save it when building the header and use it later in the TX path. To avoid having to look up the station in the many callers, allow those to pass %NULL which keeps the existing lookup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * mac80211: mesh: avoid pointless station lookupJohannes Berg2015-03-201-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ieee80211_build_hdr(), the station is looked up to build the header correctly (QoS field) and to check for authorization. For mesh, authorization isn't checked here, and QoS capability is mandatory, so the station lookup can be avoided. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * mac80211: drop 4-addr VLAN frames earlier if not connectedJohannes Berg2015-03-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there's no station on the 4-addr VLAN interface, then frames cannot be transmitted. Drop such frames earlier, before setting up all the information for them. We should keep the old check though since that code might be used for other internally-generated frames.
