      mac80211: improve the rate control API · 0d528d85
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211
      and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate
      selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows
      rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a
      step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi.
      
      When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not
      fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve
      explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then
      explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from
      info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

      mac80211: indicate admission control in TX queue parameters · 908f8d07
      Alexander Bondar 提交于
      Some driver implementations need to know whether mandatory
      admission control is required by the AP for some ACs. Add
      a parameter to the TX queue parameters indicating this.
      
      As there's currently no support for admission control in
      mac80211's AP implementation, it's only ever set for the
      client implementation.

      mac80211: VHT off-by-one NSS · 6bc8312f
      Karl Beldan 提交于
      The number of VHT spatial streams (NSS) is found in:
      - s8 ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] (tx - filled by rate control)
      - u8 ieee80211_rx_status.vht_nss     (rx - filled by driver)
      Tx discriminates valid rates indexes with the sign bit and encodes NSS
      starting from 0 to 7 (note this matches some hw encodings e.g IWLMVM).
      Rx does not have the same constraints, and encodes NSS starting from 1
      to 8 (note this matches what wireshark expects in the radiotap header).
      
      To handle ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and
      ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() assume their nss parameter and return value
      respectively runs from 0 to 7.
      ATM, there are only 2 users of these: cfg.c:sta_set_rate_info_t() and
      iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:iwl_mvm_hwrate_to_tx_control(), but both assume nss
      runs from 1 to 8.
      This patch fixes this inconsistency by making ieee80211_rate_set_vht()
      and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() handle an nss running from 1 to 8.

      mac80211: support secondary channel offset in CSA · 85220d71
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel
      switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling
      of CSA on HT access points.
      
      For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything
      here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The
      driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular,
      the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since
      it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware
      API.

      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

      mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 · e1a0c6b3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
      step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
      in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
      indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
      station. Of course, make all drivers use it.
      
      To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
      the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
      so it can set up the new bandwidth field.
      
      If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
      also set the bandwidth accordingly.
      
      Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
      the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
      the current setting.
      
      While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
      ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
      really happens...)

      mac80211: always allow calling ieee80211_connection_loss() · 682bd38b

      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.

      mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status · 1672c0e3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_period · c65dd147
      Emmanuel Grumbach 提交于
      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.
