Since nullfunc frames are transmitted as unicast frames, they're more reliable than the broadcast probe requests, so we need fewer retries to figure out whether the AP is really gone. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

nullfunc frames are better for connection monitoring, because probe requests are answered even if the AP has already dropped the connection, whereas nullfunc frames from an unassociated station will trigger a disassoc/deauth frame from the AP (WLAN_REASON_CLASS3_FRAME_FROM_NONASSOC_STA), which allows the station to reconnect immediately instead of waiting until it attempts to transmit the next unicast frame. This only works on hardware with reliable tx ACK reporting, any other hardware needs to fall back to the probe request method. Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

Instead of using a fixed 2 second timeout, calculate beacon loss interval from the advertised beacon interval and a frame count. With this beacon loss happens after N (default 7) consecutive frames are missed which for a typical setup (100TU beacon interval) is ~700ms (or ~1/3 previous).

Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work. This prevents any possible races against channel changes while we run this work. In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong channel and in the worst case, wrong band.

The locking around ieee80211_recalc_smps is buggy -- it cannot acquire another interface's mutex while the iflist mutex is held because another code path could be holding the iface mutex and trying to acquire the iflist mutex.

On association to an AP, after receiving beacons, the beacon_crc value is set. The beacon_crc value is not reset in disassociation, but the BSS data may be expired at a later point. When associating again, it's possible that a beacon for the AP is not received, resulting in the beacon_ies to remain NULL. After association, further beacons will not update the beacon data, as the crc value of the beacon has not changed, and the beacon_crc still holds a value matching the beacon. The beacon_ies will remain forever null. One of the results of this is that WLAN power save cannot be entered, the STA will remain foreven in active mode. Fix this by adding a validation flag for the beacon_crc, which is cleared on association.

The WMM parameter configuration function (ieee80211_sta_wmm_params) only configures the WMM parameters to the driver is the wmm_last_param_set counter value is changed by the AP. The wmm_last_param_set is initialized to -1 on association in order to ensure the configuration is made to the driver at least once on association, but currently this initialization is done *after* the WMM parameter configuration function was called. This leads to unreliability in the driver getting properly configured on first association (depending on what counter value the AP happens to use.) When disassociating (the wmm default parameters are configured to the driver) and then reassociating, due to the above the WMM configuration is not set to the driver at all. On drivers without beacon filtering the problem is corrected by later beacons, but on drivers with beacon filtering the WMM will remain permanently incorrectly configured. Fix this by moving the initialization of wmm_last_param_set to -1 before ieee80211_sta_wmm_params is called on association.

Some buggy APs do not respond to unicast probe requests or send unicast probe requests very delayed so in the worst case we should try to send broadcast probe requests, otherwise we can get disconnected from these APs. Even if drivers do not have filters to disregard probe responses from foreign APs mac80211 will only process probe responses from our associated AP for re-arming connection monitoring. We need to do this since the beacon monitor does not push back the connection monitor by design so even if we are getting beacons from these type of APs our connection monitor currently relies heavily on the way the probe requests are received on the AP. An example of an AP affected by this is the Nexus One, but this has also been observed with random APs. We can probably optimize this later by using null funcs instead of probe requests.

Upon beacon loss we send probe requests after 30 seconds of idle time and we wait for each probe response 1/2 second. We send a total of 3 probe requests before giving up on the AP.

Ever since commit e1b3ec1a Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200 mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not. However, this is only relevant for station mode, since only then will any device send nullfunc frames and need to know whether they should be QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are (currently) no frames the device is supposed to send. When you now consider virtual interfaces, it becomes apparent that the current mechanism is inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has to be on a per-interface scale. Due to the above considerations, we can change the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

This mechanism introduced in this patch applies (at least) for hardware designs using a single shared antenna for both WLAN and BT. In these designs, the antenna must be toggled between WLAN and BT. In those hardware, managing WLAN co-existence with Bluetooth requires WLAN full power save whenever there is Bluetooth activity in order for WLAN to be able to periodically relinquish the antenna to be used for BT. This is because BT can only access the shared antenna when WLAN is idle or asleep. Some hardware, for instance the wl1271, are able to indicate to the host whenever there is BT traffic. In essence, the hardware will send an indication to the host whenever there is, for example, SCO traffic or A2DP traffic, and will send another indication when the traffic is over. The hardware gets information of Bluetooth traffic via hardware co-existence control lines - these lines are used to negotiate the shared antenna ownership. The hardware will give the antenna to BT whenever WLAN is sleeping. This patch adds the interface to mac80211 to facilitate temporarily disabling of dynamic power save as per request of the WLAN driver. This interface will immediately force WLAN to full powersave, hence allowing BT coexistence as described above. In these kind of shared antenna desings, when WLAN powersave is fully disabled, Bluetooth will not work simultaneously with WLAN at all. This patch does not address that problem. This interface will not change PSM state, so if PSM is disabled it will remain so. Solving this problem requires knowledge about BT state, and is best done in user-space.

The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.) This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps timeout of 100ms. Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct. Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.

A number of places use RCU locking for accessing the station list, even though they do not need to. Use mutex locking instead to prepare for the locking changes I want to make. The mlme code is also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that. While doing so, combine places where we loop over stations twice, and optimise away some of the loops by checking if the hardware supports aggregation at all first. Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right now we could resume, set up an aggregation session, and right after tear it down again due to the code that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here. Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as a workaround. Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling loop when an interface is stopped, directly after that we remove all stations from it which will also disable all aggregation sessions that may still be active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the current loop that doesn't block new sessions.
