In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache. There's also a more detailed description in the code. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

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.

We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions. Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain length, improving both cases above. Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested by Sergey Ryazanov. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots.

Some APs experience problems when working with U-APSD. Decreasing the probability of that happening by using legacy mode for all ACs but VO isn't enough. Cisco 4410N originally forced us to enable VO by default only because it treated non-VO ACs as legacy. However some APs (notably Netgear R7000) silently reclassify packets to different ACs. Since u-APSD ACs require trigger frames for frame retrieval clients would never see some frames (e.g. ARP responses) or would fetch them accidentally after a long time. It makes little sense to enable u-APSD queues by default because it needs userspace applications to be aware of it to actually take advantage of the possible additional powersavings. Implicitly depending on driver autotrigger frame support doesn't make much sense.

Revert commit ad38bfc9 ("mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics") (along with some follow-up fixes). 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.

When we go to suspend, there is complex set of states that avoids races. The quiescing variable is set whlie __ieee80211_suspend is running. Then suspended is set. The code makes sure there is no window without any of these flags. The problem is that workers can still be enqueued while we are quiescing. This leads to situations where the driver is already suspending and other flows like disassociation are handled by a worker. To fix this, we need to check quiescing and suspended flags in the worker itself and not only before enqueueing it. I also add here extensive documentation to ease the understanding of these complex issues.

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

For some TDLS channel switch implementations data frames need to be sent by the firmware based on a template. This template should be created by mac80211, and thus needs to properly be built from an 802.3 frame into an 802.11 frame. In addition, the device will need the key information so the select_key handler needs to be run. However, the driver/device will be responsible for all of the crypto encapsulation, as the sequence numbers etc. cannot be built by the host anyway in this case since it's a template to be used multiple times.

When the RIC data element (RDE) is included in the IEs coming from userspace for an association request, its handling is currently broken as any IEs that are contained within it would be split off from it and inserted again after all the IEs that mac80211 generates (e.g. HT, VHT.) To fix this, treat the RIC element specially, and stop after it only when we find something that doesn't actually belong to it. This assumes userspace is actually correctly building it, directly after the fast BSS transition IE and before all the others like extended capabilities. This leaves as a potential problem the case where userspace is building the following IEs: [RDE] [vendor resource description] [vendor non-resource IE] In this case, we'd erroneously consider all three IEs to be part of the RIC data together, and not split them between the two vendor IEs. Unfortunately, it isn't easily possible to distinguish vendor IEs, so this isn't easy to fix. Luckily, this case is rare as normally wpa_supplicant will include an extended capabilities IE in the IEs, and that certainly will break the two vendor IEs apart correctly.

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.

If we are switching from an HT40+ to an HT40- channel (or vice-versa), we need the secondary channel offset IE to specify what is the post-CSA offset to be used. This applies both to beacons and to probe responses. In ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie() we were ignoring this IE from beacons and using the *current* HT information IE instead. This was causing us to use the same offset as before the switch. Fix that by using the secondary channel offset IE also for beacons and don't ever use the pre-switch offset. Additionally, remove the "beacon" argument from ieee80211_parse_ch_switch_ie(), since it's not needed anymore.

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.
