2012-07-13Revert "mac80211: refactor virtual monitor code"Johannes Berg1-4/+0
This reverts commit 870d37fc22f3e40f9f23e06c581c8538fc16a2f0. This code doesn't work as cfg80211 will call set_monitor_enabled at the wrong time and it doesn't seem to be possible to fix this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-07-12mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assocJohannes Berg1-0/+2
Some drivers (iwlegacy, iwlwifi and rt2x00) today use the bss_conf.last_tsf value. By itself though that value is completely worthless since it may be ancient. What really is needed is synchronisation between some device time and the TSF. To clarify this, rename bss_conf.last_tsf to sync_tsf and add sync_device_ts which is obtained from rx_status which gets a new field device_timestamp for this purpose. This is intentionally not using the mactime field since that is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync with the IBSS's TSF which isn't necessarily true for the device timestamp. Also, since we have the information and it's useful even before the connection has been established, give all the timing details to the driver before authenticating.

2012-07-12mac80211: redesign scan RXJohannes Berg1-5/+1
Scan receive is rather inefficient when there are multiple virtual interfaces. We iterate all of the virtual interfaces and then notify cfg80211 about each beacon many times. Redesign scan RX to happen before everything else. Then we can also get rid of IEEE80211_RX_IN_SCAN since we don't have to accept frames into the RX handlers for scanning or scheduled scanning any more. Overall, this simplifies the code.

2012-06-06mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channelJohannes Berg1-65/+24
Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.

2012-04-11mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg1-0/+1
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue is full and then try to send an off-channel frame the frame will never go out. This will become worse when we support multi-channel since then a queue on one channel might be full, but we have to stop the software queue for all channels. That is obviously not desirable. To address this problem allow drivers to register more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue the corresponding AC software queues on the correct interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally, there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This allows drivers to manage software queues closer to how the hardware works. Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues. This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it as needed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-11mac80211: add explicit monitor interface if neededJohannes Berg1-0/+3
The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do will break pure injection unless we handle monitor interfaces explicitly. One possible option would be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API since we already need to have queue assignments handled per virtual interface. So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor interface that is added whenever all active vifs are monitors. We could also use the state of one of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would be complicated, so allocate separate state.

2012-04-10mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization frameworkJavier Cardona1-0/+23
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev <pavel.zubarev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the timeout doesn't need to be so precise. Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp. Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems running on battery. This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded systems.

2012-03-13mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deafPaul Stewart1-0/+3
When regulatory information changes our HT behavior (e.g, when we get a country code from the AP we have just associated with), we should use this information to change the power with which we transmit, and what channels we transmit. Sometimes the channel parameters we derive from regulatory information contradicts the parameters we used in association. For example, we could have associated specifying HT40, but the regulatory rules we apply may forbid HT40 operation. In the situation above, we should reconfigure ourselves to transmit in HT20 only, however it makes no sense for us to disable receive in HT40, since if we associated with these parameters, the AP has every reason to expect we can and will receive packets this way. The code in mac80211 does not have the capability of sending the appropriate action frames to signal a change in HT behaviour so the AP has no clue we can no longer receive frames encoded this way. In some broken AP implementations, this can leave us effectively deaf if the AP never retries in lower HT rates. This change breaks up the channel_type parameter in the ieee80211_enable_ht function into a separate receive and transmit part. It honors the channel flags set by regulatory in order to configure the rate control algorithm, but uses the capability flags to configure the channel on the radio, since these were used in association to set the AP's transmit rate.

2012-03-12mac80211: simplify wmm check during associationJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Instead of setting assoc_data->wmm_used solely based on the BSS also take into account our own capabilities and later check those. Also rename "wmm_used" and "uapsd_used" to just "wmm" and "uapsd".

2012-03-07mac80211: Filter duplicate IE idsPaul Stewart1-0/+41
mac80211 is lenient with respect to reception of corrupted beacons. Even if the frame is corrupted as a whole, the available IE elements are still passed back and accepted, sometimes replacing legitimate data. It is unknown to what extent this "feature" is made use of, but it is clear that in some cases, this is detrimental. One such case is reported in http://crosbug.com/26832 where an AP corrupts its beacons but not its probe responses. One approach would be to completely reject frames with invaid data (for example, if the last tag extends beyond the end of the enclosing PDU). The enclosed approach is much more conservative: we simply prevent later IEs from overwriting the state from previous ones. This approach hopes that there might be some salient data in the IE stream before the corruption, and seeks to at least prevent that data from being overwritten. This approach will fix the case above. Further, we flag element structures that contain data we think might be corrupted, so that as we fill the mac80211 BSS structure, we try not to replace data from an un-corrupted probe response with that of a corrupted beacon, for example. Short of any statistics gathering in the various forms of AP breakage, it's not possible to ascertain the side effects of more stringent discarding of data.

2012-03-05mac80211: combine QoS with other BSS changesJohannes Berg1-1/+2
When associating and particularly when disassociating there's no need to notify the driver about changes with multiple calls to bss_info_changed, we should combine the QoS enabling/disabling into the same call as otherwise the driver could get confused about QoS suddenly getting disabled while connected.

2012-03-05mac80211: use 16 bit alignment for the if_ibss bssid fieldFelix Fietkau1-1/+1
Several MAC address comparison functions assume 16 bit alignment for pointers passed to them. Since the addition of the control_port field, alignment for the IBSS bssid was off by one, causing a severe performance hit on architectures without efficient unaligned access (e.g. MIPS).

2012-02-27mac80211: fix auth/assoc data & timer leakJohannes Berg1-0/+1
When removing an interface while it is in the process of authenticating or associating, we leak the auth_data or assoc_data, and leave the timer pending. The timer then crashes the system when it fires as its data is gone. Fix this by explicitly deleting all the data when the interface is removed. This uncovered another bug -- this problem should have been detected by the sta_info_flush() warning but that function doesn't ever return non-zero, I'll fix that in a separate patch.

2012-02-22cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode APIJohannes Berg1-1/+1
The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc. Modify the API to the following: * start AP -- all settings * change beacon -- new beacon data * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename the commands there correspondingly (but keep the old names for compatibility.) Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going on in the API. Kalle developed the ath6kl changes, I created the rest of the patch.
