2013-03-18mac80211: move sdata debugfs dir to vifStanislaw Gruszka4-19/+18
There is need create driver own per interface debugfs files. This is currently done by drv_{add,remove}_interface_debugfs() callbacks. But it is possible that after we remove interface from the driver (i.e. on suspend) we call drv_remove_interface_debugfs() function. Fixing this problem will require to add call drv_{add,remove}_interface_debugfs() anytime we create and remove interface in mac80211. So it's better to add debugfs dir dentry to vif structure to allow to create/remove custom debugfs driver files on drv_{add,remove}_interface().

2013-03-11mac80211: batch key free synchronize_net()Johannes Berg3-22/+73
Instead of calling synchronize_net() for every key on an interface or when a station is removed, do it only once for all keys in both of these cases. As a side-effect, removing station keys now always calls synchronize_net() even if there are no keys, which fixes an issue with station removal happening in the driver while the station could still be used for TX.

2013-03-07mac80211: provide ieee80211_sta_eosp()Johannes Berg3-36/+3
The irqsafe version ieee80211_sta_eosp_irqsafe() exists, but drivers must not mix calls to any irqsafe/non-irqsafe function. Both ath9k and iwlwifi, the likely first users of this interface, use non-irqsafe RX/TX/TX status so must also use a non-irqsafe version of this function. Since no driver uses the _irqsafe() version, remove that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There is a corner case which wasn't being covered: userspace may authenticate and allocate stations, but still leave the peering up to the kernel.

2013-03-06mac80211: improve minstrels rate sorting by means of throughput & probabilityThomas Huehn3-36/+49
This patch improves the way minstrel sorts rates according to throughput and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate set in function minstrel_update_stats() which where used to determine the fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 1 FOR-loop. The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting is done via the new function minstrel_sort_best_tp_rates(). The most robust rate selection is aligned with minstrel_ht's approach. Once any success probability is above 95% the one with the highest throughput is chosen as most robust rate. If success probabilities of all rates are below 95%, the rate with the highest succ. prob. is elected as most robust one Acked-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huehn <thomas@net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211: add lowest rate into minstrel's random rate sampling tableThomas Huehn3-15/+10
While minstrel bootstraps and fills the success probabilities of each rate the lowest rate has typically a very high success probability (often 100% in our tests). Its statistics are never updated but considered to setup the mrr chain. In our tests we see that especially the 3rd mrr stage (which is that rate providing highest success probability) is filled with the lowest rate because its initial high sucess probability is never updated. By design the 4th mrr stage is filled with the lowest rate so often 3rd and 4th mrr stage are equal. This patch follows minstrels general approach of assuming as little as possible about rate dependencies. Consequently we include the lowest rate into the random sampling table to get balanced up-to-date statistics of all rates and therefore balanced decisions.

2013-03-06mac80211: extend minstrel's rate sampling to avoid unsampled ratesThomas Huehn2-4/+10
Minstrel's decision which rate should be directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage is limited to such rates faster than the current max throughput rate. All rates below the current max. throughput rate are indirectly sampled via the 2nd mrr stage. This approach leads to deprecated per rate statistics and therfore a deprecated mrr chain setup. This patch uses the sampling approach from minstrel_ht. A counter is added to sum all indirect sample attempts per rate. After 20 indirect sampling attempts the rate is directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage. Therefore more up-to-date statistics for all rates are maintained and used to setup the mrr chain.

2013-03-06mac80211: restrict peer's VHT capabilities to ownJohannes Berg1-1/+113
Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more than one device and the devices have different capabilities (often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise, due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: fix HT capability overrides for AP stationJohannes Berg1-23/+25
HT capabilites are asymmetric -- e.g. beamforming is both an RX and TX capability. If, for example, we support RX but not TX, the RX capability of the AP station is masked out (if it supports it). This works correctly if it's really the driver capability. If, on the other hand, the reason for not supporting TX BF is that it was removed by HT capability overrides then the wrong thing happens: the AP's TX capability will be removed rather than its RX capability, because the override function works on own capabilities, not remote ones, and doesn't take the asymmetry into account. To fix this make a copy of our own capabilities, apply the overrides to them (where needed) and then use that to set up the peer's capabilities. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: don't apply HT overrides to TDLS peersJohannes Berg1-9/+5

2013-03-06mac80211: flush keys when stopping APJohannes Berg2-2/+5

2013-03-06mac80211: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roamingJohannes Berg6-11/+68
During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must be called to avoid packet races, although typically no packets would be flowing during that time. To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys are removed (by half a second). This means the counter will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition. Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for which this optimisation was done to start with, for them the key removal itself will be expensive because it has to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately, during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary. (*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to 1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to 0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes to 1 first because they're added in software; when a key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
