mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple of 4

2018-05-30T05:51:58Z

[ Upstream commit 651b9920d7a694ffb1f885aef2bbb068a25d9d66 ] This ensures that mac80211 allocated management frames are properly aligned, which makes copying them more efficient. For instance, mt76 uses iowrite32_copy to copy beacon frames to beacon template memory on the chip. Misaligned 32-bit accesses cause CPU exceptions on MIPS and should be avoided.

mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing

2018-02-03T16:39:03Z

[ Upstream commit 7b6ddeaf27eca72795ceeae2f0f347db1b5f9a30 ] When connected to a QoS/WMM AP, mac80211 should use a QoS NDP for probing it, instead of a regular non-QoS one, fix this. Change all the drivers to *not* allow QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK with that.

mac80211: fix VLAN handling with TXQs

2017-09-05T09:28:43Z

With TXQs, the AP_VLAN interfaces are resolved to their owner AP interface when enqueuing the frame, which makes sense since the frame really goes out on that as far as the driver is concerned. However, this introduces a problem: frames to be encrypted with a VLAN-specific GTK will now be encrypted with the AP GTK, since the information about which virtual interface to use to select the key is taken from the TXQ. Fix this by preserving info->control.vif and using that in the dequeue function. This now requires doing the driver-mapping in the dequeue as well. Since there's no way to filter the frames that are sitting on a TXQ, drop all frames, which may affect other interfaces, when an AP_VLAN is removed.

mac80211: add api to start ba session timer expired flow

2017-08-09T06:49:42Z

Some drivers handle rx buffer reordering internally (and by extension handle also the rx ba session timer internally), but do not ofload the addba/delba negotiation. Add an api for these drivers to properly tear-down the ba session, including sending a delba. Signed-off-by: Naftali Goldstein Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho

mac80211: manage RX BA session offload without SKB queue

2017-06-08T12:16:29Z

Instead of using the SKB queue with the fake pkt_type for the offloaded RX BA session management, also handle this with the normal aggregation state machine worker. This also makes the use of this more reliable since it gets rid of the allocation of the fake skb. Combined with the previous patch, this finally allows us to get rid of the pkt_type hack entirely, so do that as well. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Dynamically set CoDel parameters per station

2017-05-17T14:03:40Z

CoDel can be too aggressive if a station sends at a very low rate, leading reduced throughput. This gets worse the more stations are present, as each station gets more bursty the longer the round-robin scheduling between stations takes. This adds dynamic adjustment of CoDel parameters per station. It uses the rate selection information to estimate throughput and sets more lenient CoDel parameters if the estimated throughput is below a threshold (modified by the number of active stations). A new callback is added that drivers can use to notify mac80211 about changes in expected throughput, so the same adjustment can be made for cards that implement rate control in firmware. Drivers that don't use this will just get the default parameters.

mac80211: properly remove RX_ENC_FLAG_40MHZ

2017-05-08T09:11:56Z

Somehow I missed this in my RX rate cleanup series, causing some drivers to not report correct bandwidth since this flag isn't used by mac80211 anymore. Fix this, and make hwsim also report higher bandwidths appropriately. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Add support for BSS max idle period element

2017-04-28T10:28:45Z

Parse the BSS max idle period element and set the BSS configuration accordingly so the driver can use this information to configure the max idle period and to use protected management frames for keep alive when required. The BSS max idle period element is defined in IEEE802.11-2016, section 9.4.2.79 Signed-off-by: Avraham Stern Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_status_ext

2017-04-28T09:08:21Z

This allows the driver to pass in struct ieee80211_tx_status directly. Make ieee80211_tx_status_noskb a wrapper around it. As with ieee80211_tx_status_noskb, there is no _ni variant of this call, because it probably won't be needed. Even if the driver won't provide any extra status info other than what's in struct ieee80211_tx_info already, it can optimize status reporting this way by passing in the station pointer.

mac80211: make rate control tx status API more extensible

2017-04-28T08:57:33Z

Rename .tx_status_noskb to .tx_status_ext and pass a new on-stack struct ieee80211_tx_status instead of struct ieee80211_tx_info. This struct can be used to pass extra information, e.g. for dynamic tx power control Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
