2015-04-01mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau1-0/+83
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.

2015-03-04mac80211: allow iterating inactive interfacesArik Nemtsov1-5/+30
Sometimes the driver might want to modify private data in interfaces that are down. One possible use-case is cleaning up interface state after HW recovery. Some interfaces that were up before the recovery took place might be down now, but they might still be "dirty". Introduce a new iterate_interfaces() API and a new ACTIVE iterator flag. This way the internal implementation of the both active and inactive APIs remains the same.

2015-03-03mac80211: Update beacon's timing and DTIM count on every beaconAlexander Bondar1-2/+5
Beacon's timestamp, device system time associated with this beacon and DTIM count parameters are not updated in the associated vif context if the latest beacon's content is identical to the previously received. It make sense to update these changing parameters on every beacon so the driver can get most updated values. This may be necessary, for example, to avoid either beacons' drift effect or device time stamp overrun. IMPORTANT: Three sync_* parameters - sync_ts, sync_device_ts and sync_dtim_count would possibly be out of sync by the time the driver will use them. The synchronized view is currently guaranteed only in certain callbacks.

2015-01-23mac80211: enable TPC through mac80211 stackLorenzo Bianconi1-0/+7
Control per packet Transmit Power Control (TPC) in lower drivers according to TX power settings configured by the user. In particular TPC is enabled if value passed in enum nl80211_tx_power_setting is NL80211_TX_POWER_LIMITED (allow using less than specified from userspace), whereas TPC is disabled if nl80211_tx_power_setting is set to NL80211_TX_POWER_FIXED (use value configured from userspace) Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi83@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-22mac80211: allow drivers to control software cryptoJohannes Berg1-0/+12
Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but mac80211 currently assumes that they do. This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the key setting refused. Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1. The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers that the driver can't actually do. While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-15mac80211: remove 80+80 MHz rate reportingJohannes Berg1-4/+2
These rates are treated the same as 160 MHz in the spec, so it makes no sense to distinguish them. As no driver uses them yet, this is also not a problem, just remove them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-08mac80211: allow drivers to provide most station statisticsJohannes Berg1-5/+12
In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211. Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"), that can be added if it turns out to be needed. This also gets rid of the get_rssi() method as is can now be implemented using sta_statistics(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-01-07mac80211: Re-fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counterIdo Yariv1-2/+9
When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented for most drivers. The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid assumption for p54 and cw1200. Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

2015-01-05Revert "mac80211: Fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counter"Johannes Berg1-5/+2
This reverts commit ca34e3b5c808385b175650605faa29e71e91991b. It turns out that the p54 and cw2100 drivers assume that there's tailroom even when they don't say they really need it. However, there's currently no way for them to explicitly say they do need it, so for now revert this. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90331.

2014-12-12mac80211: Fix accounting of multicast framesSujith Manoharan1-0/+6
Since multicast frames are marked as no-ack, using IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK to check if they have been successfully transmitted by the driver is incorrect since a driver can choose to ignore transmission status for no-ack frames. This results in incorrect accounting for such frames. To fix this issue, this patch introduces a new flag that can be used by drivers to indicate error-free transmission of no-ack frames.

2014-11-19mac80211: synchronously reserve TID per stationLiad Kaufman1-0/+37
In TDLS (e.g., TDLS off-channel) there is a requirement for some drivers to supply an unused TID between the AP and the device to the FW, to allow sending PTI requests and to allow the FW to aggregate on a specific TID for better throughput.

2014-11-04mac80211: 802.11p OCB mode supportRostislav Lisovy1-0/+2
This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion. The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode). New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

2014-10-22mac80211: add WMM admission control supportJohannes Berg1-1/+2
Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low level driver to implement WMM admission control. The low level driver needs to report the media time used by each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the admission controlled Access Category when the limit is reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored, mac80211 will do so. One issue with this approach is that management frames will also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended to driver- or device-based implementations that are better.
