      mac80211: implement dynamic power save · 520eb820
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it
      means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it
      dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low
      latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some
      require the host to do it.
      
      The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to
      ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace
      with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the
      dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms:
      
      iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m
      
      Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware.
      It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is
      considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle.
      In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature
      with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS.
      
      Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

      mac80211: enable IEEE80211_CONF_PS only when associated · e0cb686f
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      Also disable power save when disassociated. It makes no sense to have
      power save enabled while disassociated.
      
      iwlwifi seems to have this check in the driver, but it's better to do this
      in mac80211 instead.

      mac80211: Disable requests for new scans in AP mode · b7a530d8
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      AP mode operations are seriously affected if mac80211 runs through a
      multi-second scan while the AP is trying to send Beacon frames on the
      operation channel. While this could be implemented in a way that does
      not cause too many problems, it is not very simple and will require
      synchronization with Beacon frame scheduling in the drivers (scan one
      channel at a time between Beacon frames). Furthermore, such scanning
      takes quite a bit longer time and existing userspace applications
      would be likely to timeout while waiting for the results.
      
      For now, just refuse requests for new scans (SIOCSIWSCAN) when in AP
      mode. In practice, this moves the rejection from iwl* drivers into
      mac80211 to make it apply to every mac80211-based driver.
      
      This issue shows up in associated stations getting disconnected when
      something (e.g., Network Manager) requests a scan while the interface
      is in AP mode. When doing this continuously (e.g., NM does it every 120
      seconds), the network gets close to useless.

      mac80211: remove fragmentation offload functionality · f546638c
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There's no driver that actually does fragmentation on the
      device, and the callback is buggy (when it returns an error,
      mac80211's fragmentation status is changed so reading the
      frag threshold from userspace reads the new value despite
      the error). Let's just remove it, if we really find some
      hardware supporting it we can add it back later.
