Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but mac80211 currently assumes that they do. This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the key setting refused. Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1. The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers that the driver can't actually do. While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211. Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"), that can be added if it turns out to be needed. This also gets rid of the get_rssi() method as is can now be implemented using sta_statistics(). Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

由 Ido Yariv 提交于
When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented for most drivers. The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid assumption for p54 and cw1200. Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

This reverts commit ca34e3b5. It turns out that the p54 and cw2100 drivers assume that there's tailroom even when they don't say they really need it. However, there's currently no way for them to explicitly say they do need it, so for now revert this. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90331.

Since multicast frames are marked as no-ack, using IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK to check if they have been successfully transmitted by the driver is incorrect since a driver can choose to ignore transmission status for no-ack frames. This results in incorrect accounting for such frames. To fix this issue, this patch introduces a new flag that can be used by drivers to indicate error-free transmission of no-ack frames.

This patch adds 802.11p OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode support. When communicating in OCB mode a mandatory wildcard BSSID (48 '1' bits) is used. The EDCA parameters handling function was changed to support 802.11p specific values. The insertion of a newly discovered STAs is done in the similar way as in the IBSS mode -- through the deferred insertion. The OCB mode uses a periodic 'housekeeping task' for expiration of disconnected STAs (in the similar manner as in the MESH mode). New Kconfig option for verbose OCB debugging outputs is added.

Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low level driver to implement WMM admission control. The low level driver needs to report the media time used by each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the admission controlled Access Category when the limit is reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored, mac80211 will do so. One issue with this approach is that management frames will also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended to driver- or device-based implementations that are better.
