      mac80211: process station blockack action frames from work · 8b9a4e6e
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Processing an association response could take a bit
      of time while we set up the hardware etc. During that
      time, the AP might already send a blockack request.
      If this happens very quickly on a fairly slow machine,
      we can end up processing the blockack request before
      the association processing has finished. Since the
      blockack processing cannot sleep right now, we also
      cannot make it wait in the driver.
      
      As a result, sometimes on slow machines the iwlagn
      driver gets totally confused, and no traffic can pass
      when the aggregation setup was done before the assoc
      setup completed.
      
      I'm working on a proper fix for this, which involves
      queuing all blockack category action frames from a
      work struct, and also allowing the ampdu_action driver
      callback to sleep, which will generally clean up the
      code and make things easier.
      
      However, this is a very involved and complex change.
      To fix the problem at hand in a way that can also be
      backported to stable, I've come up with this patch.
      Here, I simply process all aggregation action frames
      from the managed interface skb queue, which means
      their processing will be serialized with processing
      the association response, thereby fixing the problem.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path. · e15276a4
      Vivek Natarajan 提交于
      The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there
      is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered
      even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on.
      This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon
      to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles.
      Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every
      data packet.

      mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep · 34e89507
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Many drivers would like to sleep during station
      addition and removal, and currently have a high
      complexity there from not being able to.
      
      This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
      sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
      of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
      the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
      fail.
      
      The reason we didn't do this previously is that
      the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
      RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
      This patch will keep the station allocation in
      that path, but moves adding the station to the
      driver out of line. Since the addition can now
      fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
      rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
      station but never tell the driver about it in
      the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
      a driver that has a low limit on the number of
      stations and that cannot talk to any stations
      that are not known to it, we need to do come up
      with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
      maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

      mac80211: fix rx data handling for non-data frames on multiple vifs · 4bb29f8c
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      The loop that passes non-data frames to all relevant vifs inside the
      __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet keeps a pointer to the previous sdata to
      avoid having to make unnecessary copies of the frame it's handling.
      This led to a bug that caused it to apply the ieee80211_rx_data state
      to the wrong interface, thereby either missing the rx.sta pointer or
      having it assigned where it shouldn't be.
      This breaks (among other things) aggregation on some vifs, as action
      frame exchages are dropped to the cooked monitor interface due to
      rx->sta being NULL.
      Fix this by restructuring the loop so that it prepares the rx data just
      before making the skb copy and calling the rx handlers.

      mac80211: fix skb buffering issue · cf0277e7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
      keeping internal queues only, and even before
      that we never told the networking stack above
      the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
      means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
      the upper layers never know, possibly leading
      to memory exhaustion and other problems.
      
      This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
      uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
      queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
      stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
      queues for the virtual interfaces as well.
      
      The injection case will use VO by default for
      non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
      downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
      needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
      chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.

      mac80211: generalise work handling · af6b6374
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes
      other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other
      purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on
      another channel) will be useful.
      
      To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME
      work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The
      API can currently handle probing a specific AP,
      authentication and association. The MLME previously
      handled probe/authentication as one step and will
      continue to do so, but they are separate in the new
      work handling.
      
      Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for
      existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX
      path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right
      now will do for its combined probe/auth step.
