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.

Both rate control algorithms (minstrel and minstrel_ht) calculate averages based on EWMA. Shift function minstrel_ewma() into rc80211_minstrel.h and make use of it in both minstrel version. Also shift the default EWMA level (75%) definition to the header file and clean up variable usage.

The last minstrel_ht changes increased the sampling frequency for potentially useful rates to decrease the response time to rate fluctuations. This caused an increase in sampling frequency that can slightly reduce throughput, so this patch limits the sampling attempts to one per rate instead of two.

For VHT, the wider bandwidths (up to 160 MHz) need to be allowed. Since world roaming only covers the case of connecting to an AP, it can be opened up there, we will rely on the AP to know the local regulations. Acked-by: NLuis R.

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.

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.

Since hostapd will remove keys this isn't usually an issue, but we shouldn't leak keys to the next BSS started on the same interface. For VLANs this also fixes a bug, keys that aren't removed would otherwise be leaked. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

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: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

User space is responsible to establish connection again after resume. This basically need to be done by user space anyway, because associated stations can go away during suspend (for example NetworkManager disconnects on suspend and connect on resume by default).

If a rate is below the max_tp_rate, sample it frequently if: - it is above max_tp_rate2, or - it is above max_prob_rate and is a candidate for max_prob_rate (has fewer streams than max_tp_rate). This helps the retry chain recover more quickly from bad statistics caused by collisions or interference, and slightly reduces throughput fluctuations with higher rates.

At high data rates the average frame transmission durations are small enough for rounding errors to matter, sometimes causing minstrel to use slightly lower transmit rates than necessary. To fix this, change the unit of the duration value to nanoseconds instead of microseconds, and reorder the multiplications/divisions when calculating the throughput metric so that they don't overflow or truncate prematurely. At 2-stream HT40 this makes TCP throughput a bit more stable. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Add NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES to support update of FT IEs to the WLAN driver and NL80211_CMD_FT_EVENT to send FT events from the WLAN driver. This will carry the target AP's MAC address along with the relevant Information Elements. This event is used to report received FT IEs (MDIE, FTIE, RSN IE, TIE, RICIE). These changes allow FT to be supported with drivers that use an internal SME instead of user space option (like FT implementation in wpa_supplicant with mac80211-based drivers).

This is the sort of thing gcc's LTO could do, but since we don't have that yet we can also do it manually.

Regardless of what header features they use, or if they align the IP header or not, 802.11 packets from all drivers guarantee a 2-byte alignment (and there's a debug WARN_ON in case they don't). Annotate packet structs with __aligned(2) to allow the compiler to use 16-bit load/store operations on platforms with extremely inefficient unaligned access (e.g. MIPS). This reduces code size and improves performance on affected platforms and causes no binary code change on others.
