      mac80211: document client powersave · 4b801bc9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      With the addition of uAPSD and driver buffering
      the powersave handling has gotten quite complex.
      Add a section to the documentation to explain it
      for anyone wanting to implement it.

      mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notification · 37fbd908
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from
      the device, and to make use of that properly
      it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
      to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
      it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
      the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
      the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
      but doing it directly would cause reordering
      issues.
      
      This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
      into an absence period without transmitting
      any frames that should be driver-released as
      in this case there's no other way to inform
      mac80211 that the service period ended. Note
      that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe
      functions another version of this function
      will be required.

      mac80211: explicitly notify drivers of frame release · 40b96408
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are
      going to be sent to a station while it is asleep so
      it can properly handle the uCode blocking of that
      station.
      
      Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that
      a single frame was going to be released whenever we
      encountered IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE. With
      uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since
      there could be more than a single frame.
      
      To support this model, add a new callback to notify
      drivers when frames are going to be released.

      mac80211: reply only once to each PS-poll · deeaee19
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
      there is no way to detect that since it has no
      sequence number. As a consequence, the standard
      asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the
      response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost).
      
      Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to
      also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the
      IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response
      packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.
      
      We could use separate flags, but that will most
      likely completely confuse drivers, and while the
      standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling
      using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite
      problematic.

      mac80211: implement uAPSD · 47086fc5
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not
      possible with all devices, so advertising it with
      the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that
      want it.
      
      Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly
      straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have
      accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
      For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided
      APIs allow releasing the right number of frames,
      but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data
      themselves. This is documented in more detail in
      the new code itself.

      mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered frames · 4049e09a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If there are frames for a station buffered in
      the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM
      IE but there's no way to release them. Add new
      API to release such frames and use it when the
      station polls for a frame.
      
      Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD
      it is easily extensible.
      
      Note that before this change drivers announcing
      driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually
      will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially
      lower priority frame (if there are any frames
      buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver
      that hasn't been changed will no longer respond
      at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need
      to be fixed to implement the new API.

      mac80211: split PS buffers into ACs · 948d887d
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For uAPSD support we'll need to have per-AC PS
      buffers. As this is a major undertaking, split
      the buffers before really adding support for
      uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the
      uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will
      never be non-zero.
      
      Since book-keeping is complicated, also change
      the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only
      and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a
      station).

      mac80211: let drivers inform it about per TID buffered frames · 042ec453
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
      which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
      knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
      with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
      mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
      
      For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
      will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
      but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
      TIM bit to be set.
      
      ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
      modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
      to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
      that anyway since there's no way to selectively
      release frames to the peer yet.
      
      Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
      inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
      then sort out the AC mapping itself.

      af_unix: dont send SCM_CREDENTIALS by default · 16e57262

      This is because we now take a reference on pid and cred in each write(),
      and release them in read(), usually done from another process,
      eventually from another cpu. This triggers false sharing.
