      mac80211: mesh power save basics · 3f52b7e3
      Marco Porsch 提交于
      Add routines to
      - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
      - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
      - track neighbor STAs power modes
      - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
      - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
      - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods
      
      Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
      mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
      link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
      config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
      changes.
      Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
      non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
      mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
      configured to be in power save mode.
      
      Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
      Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
      For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
      flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
      pointer is already available.
      
      Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
      power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
      represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
      Track power modes based on received frames.
      
      Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
      neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).
      
      Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
      buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
      and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.
      
      Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
      deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
      similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
      Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.
      
      Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
      the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
      Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
      the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
      show large delay spikes and frame losses.

      mac80211: allow transmitting deauth with tainted key · e54faf29
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When we had a connection for WoWLAN and after resume it
      needed to be disconnected, the previous commit enabled
      sending a deauth frame to the AP. This frame would not
      go through on MFP-enabled networks as the key for it is
      marked tainted before the frame is transmitted.
      
      Allow a tainted key to be used for deauth frames. Worst
      case, we'll use a wrong key because the PTK was rekeyed
      while suspended, but more likely the PTK is still fine
      and the taint flag really only applies to the GTK(s).

      cfg80211: fix BSS list hidden SSID lookup · 4593c4cb
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When trying to find a hidden SSID, the lookup function
      is done wrong; the code is trying to combine the two
      lookups into one, and as a consequence doesn't always
      find the entry at all. To understand this, consider a
      case where multiple BSS entries with the same channel
      and BSSID exist but have different SSID length. Then
      comparing against the probe response SSID length is
      bound to cause problems since the hidden one might be
      either zeroed out or zero-length.
      
      To fix this we need to do two lookups for the two ways
      to hide SSIDs.

      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

      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.

      or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done,

      in the following way:
      
       - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested
       - driver marks TID as emptying
       - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets

      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.

      mac80211: provide the vif in rssi_callback · 887da917
      Emmanuel Grumbach 提交于
      Since drivers can support several BSS / P2P Client
      interfaces, the rssi callback needs to inform the driver
      about the interface teh rssi event relates to.
