      mac80211: improve latency and throughput while software scanning · 3f892b61
      Stanislaw Gruszka 提交于
      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

      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.

      mac80211: fix aggregation state with current drivers · 8147dc7f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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

      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.

      nl80211: allow user-space to set address for P2P_DEVICE · 1c18f145
      Arend van Spriel 提交于
      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.

      {cfg,nl,mac}80211: set beacon interval and DTIM period on mesh join · 9bdbf04d
      Marco Porsch 提交于
      Move the default mesh beacon interval and DTIM period to cfg80211
      and make them accessible to nl80211. This enables setting both
      values when joining an MBSS.
      
      Previously the DTIM parameter was not set by mac80211 so the
      driver's default value was used.
