2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch20-17/+803
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

2013-02-04mac80211: allow transmitting deauth with tainted keyJohannes Berg1-1/+2
When we had a connection for WoWLAN and after resume it needed to be disconnected, the previous commit enabled sending a deauth frame to the AP. This frame would not go through on MFP-enabled networks as the key for it is marked tainted before the frame is transmitted. Allow a tainted key to be used for deauth frames. Worst case, we'll use a wrong key because the PTK was rekeyed while suspended, but more likely the PTK is still fine and the taint flag really only applies to the GTK(s).

2013-02-04cfg80211: fix BSS list hidden SSID lookupJohannes Berg1-27/+53
When trying to find a hidden SSID, the lookup function is done wrong; the code is trying to combine the two lookups into one, and as a consequence doesn't always find the entry at all. To understand this, consider a case where multiple BSS entries with the same channel and BSSID exist but have different SSID length. Then comparing against the probe response SSID length is bound to cause problems since the hidden one might be either zeroed out or zero-length. To fix this we need to do two lookups for the two ways to hide SSIDs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-04cfg80211: expand per-station byte counters to 64bitVladimir Kondratiev1-3/+13
In per-station statistics, present 32bit counters are too small for practical purposes - with gigabit speeds, it get overlapped every few seconds. Expand counters in the struct station_info to be 64-bit. Driver can still fill only 32-bit and indicate in @filled only bits like STATION_INFO_[TR]X_BYTES; in case driver provides full 64-bit counter, it should also set in @filled bit STATION_INFO_[TR]RX_BYTES64 Netlink sends both 32-bit and 64-bit counters, if present, to not break userspace.

2013-02-04mac80211: always allow calling ieee80211_connection_loss()Johannes Berg2-2/+5
With multi-channel, there's a corner case where a driver doesn't receive a beacon soon enough to be able to sync its timers with the AP. In this case, the only recovery (after trying again) is to disconnect from the AP. Allow calling ieee80211_connection_loss() for such cases. To make that possible, modify the work function to not rely on the IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR flag but use new state kept in the interface instead.

2013-02-04mac80211: send deauth when connection is lostJohannes Berg1-5/+4

2013-01-31mac80211: improve latency and throughput while software scanningStanislaw Gruszka1-27/+5
Patch vastly improve latency while scanning. Slight throughput improvements were observed as well. Is intended for improve performance of voice and video applications, when scan is periodically requested by user space (i.e. default NetworkManager behaviour). Patch remove latency requirement based on PM_QOS_NETWORK_LATENCY, this value is 2000 seconds by default (i.e. approximately 0.5 hour !?!). Also remove listen interval requirement, which based on beaconing and depending on BSS parameters. It can make we stay off-channel for a second or more. Instead try to offer the best latency that we could, i.e. be off-channel no longer than PASSIVE channel scan time: 125 ms. That mean we will scan two ACTIVE channels and go back to on-channel, and one PASSIVE channel, and go back to on-channel. Patch also decrease PASSIVE channel scan time to about 110 ms. As drawback patch increase overall scan time. On my tests, when scanning both 2GHz and 5GHz bands, scanning time increase from 5 seconds up to 10 seconds. Since that increase happen only when we are associated, I think it can be acceptable. If eventually better scan time is needed for situations when we lose signal and quickly need to decide to which AP roam, additional scan flag or parameter can be introduced. I tested patch by doing: while true; do iw dev wlan0 scan; sleep 3; done > /dev/null and ping -i0.2 -c 1000 HOST on remote and local machine, results are as below: * Ping from local periodically scanning machine to AP: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/24.946/182.135/36.873 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/19.678/150.845/33.130 ms * Ping from remote machine to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.637/120.683/709.139/164.337 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.807/26.893/201.435/40.284 ms Throughput measured by scp show following results. * Upload to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 3.9MB/s 03:15 Patched: 4.3MB/s 02:58 * Download from periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 5.5MB/s 02:17 Patched: 6.2MB/s 02:02 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-31mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame statusJohannes Berg6-28/+99
When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-01-31mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_periodEmmanuel Grumbach4-33/+51
Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period, mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association. This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the association, if they get it at all. To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM becomes known. This might be when changing to associated, or later when the entire association was done with only probe response information. Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period now, just not before association.

2013-01-24mac80211: fix aggregation state with current driversJohannes Berg2-16/+10
For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done, like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens in the following way: - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested - driver marks TID as emptying - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets to the TX pending queues and also let new packets through to the driver - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely converted to the new API In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 Tx while agg.state = 4 Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:0 Tainted: G W 3.1.0 #1 Call Trace: [<c1046e42>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<c1046f13>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x40 [<fddffa17>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 [iwldvm] [<fddfcaa3>] iwlagn_mac_tx+0x23/0x40 [iwldvm] [<fd8c98b6>] __ieee80211_tx+0xf6/0x3c0 [mac80211] [<fd8cbe00>] ieee80211_tx+0xd0/0x100 [mac80211] [<fd8cc176>] ieee80211_xmit+0x96/0xe0 [mac80211] [<fd8cc578>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x348/0xc80 [mac80211] [<c1445207>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x337/0x6d0 [<c145eee9>] sch_direct_xmit+0xa9/0x210 [<c14462c0>] dev_queue_xmit+0x1b0/0x8e0 Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race just let the race not reach the drivers by making two changes: 1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in the managed mode code, the same thing will be done when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy. 2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped. It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta later, but until then any racy packets will be put onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted which is fine since the station is being removed.

Fixes this warning when operating a Mesh STA on ath5k: WARNING: at net/mac80211/wpa.c:427 ccmp_encrypt_skb.isra.5+0x7b/0x1a0 [mac80211]() Call Trace: [<c011c5e7>] warn_slowpath_common+0x63/0x78 [<c011c60b>] warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x13 [<e090621d>] ccmp_encrypt_skb.isra.5+0x7b/0x1a0 [mac80211] [<e090685c>] ieee80211_crypto_ccmp_encrypt+0x1f/0x37 [mac80211] [<e0917113>] invoke_tx_handlers+0xcad/0x10bd [mac80211] [<e0917665>] ieee80211_tx+0x87/0xb3 [mac80211] [<e0918932>] ieee80211_tx_pending+0xcc/0x170 [mac80211] [<c0121c43>] tasklet_action+0x3e/0x65 Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-16mac80211: set NEED_TXPROCESSING for PERR framesBob Copeland1-0/+1
A user reported warnings in ath5k due to transmitting frames with no rates set up. The frames were Mesh PERR frames, and some debugging showed an empty control block with just the vif pointer: > [ 562.522682] XXX txinfo: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 00 00 00 00 00 ................ > [ 562.522688] XXX txinfo: 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 54 b8 f2 > db 00 00 00 00 ........T....... > [ 562.522693] XXX txinfo: 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > 00 00 00 00 00 ................ Set the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING flag to ensure that rate control gets run before the frame is sent.

2013-01-16nl80211: allow user-space to set address for P2P_DEVICEArend van Spriel1-0/+7
As per email discussion Jouni Malinen pointed out that: "P2P message exchanges can be executed on the current operating channel of any operation (both P2P and non-P2P station). These can be on 5 GHz and even on 60 GHz (so yes, you _can_ do GO Negotiation on 60 GHz). As an example, it would be possible to receive a GO Negotiation Request frame on a 5 GHz only radio and then to complete GO Negotiation on that band. This can happen both when connected to a P2P group (through client discoverability mechanism) and when connected to a legacy AP (assuming the station receive Probe Request frame from full scan in the beginning of P2P device discovery)." This means that P2P messages can be sent over different radio devices. However, these should use the same P2P device address so it should be able to provision this from user-space. This patch adds a parameter for this to struct vif_params which should only be used during creation of the P2P device interface.
