      mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel. · b23b025f
      Ben Greear 提交于
      This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
      and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
      the current operating channel.
      
      * Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL
        and is-scanning flags instead.
      
      * Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured
        for the operating channel.
      
      * Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c  Instead, only call
        appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels.
        Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work,
        and disable it when we are done.
      
      * Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and
        ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it
        ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead.
      
      * Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel.
      
      * Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel
        transitions.  Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and
        re-enable beaconing.  We're going to be there for 200ms,
        so seems like some useful beaconing could happen.
        Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software
        scan, and disable it when we are done.
      
      * Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish
        so that we are protected when calling hw_config(), etc.
      
      * Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local
        channel, so that mlme can take a look.

      cfg80211: Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j · 59eb21a6
      Bruno Randolf 提交于
      Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to
      IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping
      channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to
      frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we
      know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility)
      we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14.
      
      This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in
      802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz
      channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.
      
      The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes:
      iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx.
      The drivers have been compile-tested only.

      Revert "mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing" · a0daa0e7
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      This reverts this commit. While in theory the change is
      correct the patch does not address current assumptions made
      by some drivers, one which is definitley affected is ath9k.
      
      Prior to this change the scan complete callback would be
      called after we returned to the home channel and configured
      the hardware RX filters. After this change we call the scan
      complete callback prior to both the hw config and the config
      filter. At least for ath9k this breaks quite a few assumptions
      on the callback, leading to disconnects to the AP after every scan
      making the driver pretty useless on STA mode. The goal behind
      this commit was to address the now understood spurious warnings
      from ath9k and mac80211_hwsim on scanning on two wiphys at the
      same time but we have now supressed these and will address this
      issue in the next kernel release.
      
      When fixing this for good next we must first review the other
      driver's dependence on this logic and perhaps consider removal
      of the scan complete callback all together.

      mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing · 543708be
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can
      detect that two sw scans are in flight at the
      same time, which isn't really true. It is
      caused by a race condition, because the scan
      complete callback is called too late, after
      the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan
      can be started before it is called.
      
      It is also called too early semantically, as
      it is currently called _after_ the return to
      the operating channel -- it should be before
      so that drivers know this is the operating
      channel again.

      mac80211: improve IBSS scanning · be4a4b6a
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
      scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
      sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
      not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
      Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
      ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
      a channel variable setting.
      
      Note that this can be further improved to start
      the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
      are fixed.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      mac80211: Improve software scan timing · df13cce5
      Helmut Schaa 提交于
      The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating
      channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no
      traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up
      the scan itself.
      
      Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and
      return to the operating channel in that case.
      
      Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence,
      scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated
      listen interval allows us to.

      mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requests · c0ce77b8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Reinette found the reason for the warnings that
      happened occasionally when a hw-offloaded scan
      finished; her description of the problem:
      
        mac80211 will defer the handling of scan requests if it is
        busy with management work at the time. The scan requests
        are deferred and run after the work has completed. When
        this occurs there are currently two problems.
      
        * The scan request for hardware scan is not fully populated
          with the band and channels to scan not initialized.
      
        * When the scan is queued the state is not correctly updated
          to reflect that a scan is in progress. The problem here is
          that when the driver completes the scan and calls
          ieee80211_scan_completed() a warning will be triggered
          since mac80211 was not aware that a scan was in progress.
      
      The reason is that the queued scan work will start
      the hw scan right away when the hw_scan_req struct
      has already been allocated. However, in the first
      pass it will not have been filled, which happens
      at the same time as setting the bits. To fix this,
      simply move the allocation after the pending work
      test as well, so that the first iteration of the
      scan work will call __ieee80211_start_scan() even
      in the hardware scan case.

      mac80211: add U-APSD client support · ab13315a
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
      idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
      frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
      possible to save even more power.
      
      Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
      implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
      hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

      Kalle and Lennert reported problems with the new work

      to a missing jiffies initialisation.
      
      I also ran into a problem where occasionally I couldn't
      connect, which seems fixed with kicking the work items
      after scanning.
      
      Finally, also add some sanity checking code to verify
      that we're not adding work items while an interface is
      down -- that case could lead to something similar to
      what Lennert was seeing.
      
      There still seems to be a race condition that we're
