      mac80211: fix fq lockdep warnings · 59a7c828
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      Some lockdep assertions were not fulfilled and
      resulted in a kernel warning/call trace if driver
      used intermediate software queues (e.g. ath10k).
      
      Existing code sequences should've guaranteed safety
      but it's always good to be extra careful.
      
      The call trace could look like this:

      mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows · 5caa328e
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      There is no other limit other than a global
      packet count limit when using software queuing.
      This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
      long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
      algorithms which requires a little more
      sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
      headdrop on limit overflow.
      
      Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
      CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
      convergence and stability when combined with
      wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
      at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

      mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq · fa962b92
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      mac80211's software queues were designed to work
      very closely with device tx queues. They are
      required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
      easily and efficiently.
      
      Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
      only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
      hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
      inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.
      
      This change doesn't translate directly to
      immediate and significant gains. End result
      depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
      can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
      queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

      mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing · 80a83cfc
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
      aggregation requirements and hand out
      packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
      destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
      good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
      on an ethernet interface.
      
      Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
      congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
      hit. This meant in practice a single station or
      tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
      could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
      just end up with poor aggregation performance.
      Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
      latency which is also bad.
      
      Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
      taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
      control on the other hand makes it possible for
      tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
      preventing stations starving each other.
      
      This increases aggregation opportunities and
      should allow software queuing based drivers
      achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
      more efficiently with big aggregates.

      mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support · 6e0456b5
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good
      performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the
      need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only
      supported for debugging purposes.
      
      To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or
      driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting
      max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

      mac80211: enable assoc check for mesh interfaces · 3633ebeb
      Bob Copeland 提交于
      We already set a station to be associated when peering completes, both
      in user space and in the kernel.  Thus we should always have an
      associated sta before sending data frames to that station.
      
      Failure to check assoc state can cause crashes in the lower-level driver
      due to transmitting unicast data frames before driver sta structures
      (e.g. ampdu state in ath9k) are initialized.  This occurred when
      forwarding in the presence of fixed mesh paths: frames were transmitted
      to stations with whom we hadn't yet completed peering.

      mac80211: don't clear all tx flags when requeing · e9de0190
      Michal Kazior 提交于
      When acting as AP and a PS-Poll frame is received
      associated station is marked as one in a Service
      Period. This state is kept until Tx status for
      released frame is reported. While a station is in
      Service Period PS-Poll frames are ignored.
      
      However if PS-Poll was received during A-MPDU
      teardown it was possible to have the to-be
      released frame re-queued back to pending queue.
      In such case the frame was stripped of 2 important
      flags:
      
       (a) IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
       (b) IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
      
      Stripping of (a) led to the frame that was to be
      released to be queued back to ps_tx_buf queue. If
      station remained to use only PS-Poll frames the
      re-queued frame (and new ones) was never actually
      transmitted because mac80211 would ignore
      subsequent PS-Poll frames due to station being in
      Service Period. There was nothing left to clear
      the Service Period bit (no xmit -> no tx status ->
      no SP end), i.e. the AP would have the station
      stuck in Service Period. Beacon TIM would
      repeatedly prompt station to poll for frames but
      it would get none.
      
      Once (a) is not stripped (b) becomes important
      because it's the main condition to clear the
      Service Period bit of the station when Tx status
      for the released frame is reported back.
      
      This problem was observed with ath9k acting as P2P
      GO in some testing scenarios but isn't limited to
      it. AP operation with mac80211 based Tx A-MPDU
      control combined with clients using PS-Poll frames
      is subject to this race.

      mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap · 30686bf7

      As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,

      This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
      test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
      
      The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the

      fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

      mac80211: move TX PN to public part of key struct · db388a56
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For drivers supporting TSO or similar features, but that still have
      PN assignment in software, there's a need to have some memory to
      store the current PN value. As mac80211 already stores this and it's
      somewhat complicated to add a per-driver area to the key struct (due
      to the dynamic sizing thereof) it makes sense to just move the TX PN
      to the keyconf, i.e. the public part of the key struct.
      
      As TKIP is more complicated and we won't able to offload it in this
      way right now (fast-xmit is skipped for TKIP unless the HW does it
      all, and our hardware needs MMIC calculation in software) I've not
      moved that for now - it's possible but requires exposing a lot of
      the internal TKIP state.
      
      As an bonus side effect, we can remove a lot of code by assuming the
      keyseq struct has a certain layout - with BUILD_BUG_ON to verify it.
      
      This might also improve performance, since now TX and RX no longer
      share a cacheline.
