      cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type · 42d97a59
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
      only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
      with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
      This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
      right now.
      
      Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
      not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
      by removing the ability to use different channel types.
      Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
      we extend it again later (with the needed capability
      flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

      mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interface · 1ea6f9c0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a
      single global TX power limit was already problematic,
      in particular if two managed interfaces connected to
      two APs with different power constraints. The channel
      context introduction completely broke this though and
      in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there
      for drivers using channel contexts.
      
      Change everything to track TX power per interface so
      that different user settings and different channel
      maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking
      the global TX power though for compatibility with
      applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's
      TX power globally.

      mac80211: add time synchronisation with BSS for assoc · 8c358bcd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      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.

      mac80211: add sta_state callback · f09603a2
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      (based on Eliad's patch)
      
      Add a callback to notify the low-level driver whenever
      the state of a station changes. The driver is only
      notified when the station is actually in the mac80211
      hash table, not for pre-insert state transitions.
      
      To allow the driver to replace sta_add/remove calls
      with this, call extra transitions with the NOTEXIST
      state.
      
      This callback can fail, so we need to be careful in
      handling it when a station is inserted, particularly
      in the IBSS case where we still keep the station entry
      around for mac80211 purposes.

      mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notification · 37fbd908
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from
      the device, and to make use of that properly
      it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
      to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
      it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
      the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
      the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
      but doing it directly would cause reordering
      issues.
      
      This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
      into an absence period without transmitting
      any frames that should be driver-released as
      in this case there's no other way to inform
      mac80211 that the service period ended. Note
      that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe
      functions another version of this function
      will be required.

      mac80211: explicitly notify drivers of frame release · 40b96408
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are
      going to be sent to a station while it is asleep so
      it can properly handle the uCode blocking of that
      station.
      
      Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that
      a single frame was going to be released whenever we
      encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With
      uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since
      there could be more than a single frame.
      
      To support this model, add a new callback to notify
      drivers when frames are going to be released.

      mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered frames · 4049e09a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If there are frames for a station buffered in
      the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM
      IE but there's no way to release them. Add new
      API to release such frames and use it when the
      station polls for a frame.
      
      Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD
      it is easily extensible.
      
      Note that before this change drivers announcing
      driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually
      will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially
      lower priority frame (if there are any frames
      buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver
      that hasn't been changed will no longer respond
      at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need
      to be fixed to implement the new API.

      mac80211: Check for queued frames before entering power save. · e8306f98
      Vivek Natarajan 提交于
      In a highly noisy environment, the tx rate of the driver drops and
      the application slows down since it has not yet received ACKs for
      the frames already queued in the hardware. Since this ACK may take
      more than 100ms, stopping the dev queues for entering PS at this
      stage breaks applications, WMM test cases in my testing.
      If there are frames already pending in the tx queue, postponing the
      PS logic helps to avoid redundant queue stops. When power save is
      enabled by default and in a noisy environment, this API certainly
      helps in improving the average throughput.
