Fix wiphy supported_band access in tx radiotap parsing introduced in commit 5ec3aed9ba4c ("mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected frames"). In particular, info->band is always set to 0 (IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ) since it has not assigned yet. This cause a kernel crash on 5GHz only devices.

Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit e6a9854b ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API"). The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of tests.

When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful to see our own beacons that are transmitted by the hardware/driver. However, this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues. Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are getting fetched by the driver. Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by drivers to indicate that they report TX status for beacons.

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.

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.

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. 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 drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

The conversion to the fast-xmit path lost proper aggregation session timeout handling - the last_tx wasn't set on that path and the timer would therefore incorrectly tear down the session periodically (with those drivers/rate control algorithms that have a timeout.)

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.

If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for that being possible.) However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize(). Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the code in mac80211 at all anyway. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the checksum to be calculated already. In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it once before the regular TX processing. Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases. For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting frames with a bad checksum.

This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

There's no need to look up the destination station twice while building the 802.11 header for a given frame if the frame will actually be transmitted to the station we initially looked up. This happens for 4-addr VLAN interfaces and TDLS connections, which both directly send the frame to the station they looked up, though in the case of TDLS some station conditions need to be checked. To avoid that, add a variable indicating that we've looked up the station that the frame is going to be transmitted to, and avoid the lookup/flag checking if it already has been done. In the TDLS case, also move the authorized/wme_sta flag assignment to the correct place, i.e. only when that station is really used. Before this change, the new lookup should always have succeeded so that the potentially erroneous data would be overwritten. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we thought, and we've internally hacked it up more, but that's not very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that with tracing instead. Therefore, for now at least, remove this code. We might also need to use the skb->tstamp field for the TCP performance issue, which is more important than the debugging.
