      mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization framework · dbf498fb
      Javier Cardona 提交于
      This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
      13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
      
      The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
      following functions:
      
          rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
      received.
          adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
      to be transmitted.
      
      The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
      implemented.  We also provide template functions for vendor specific
      methods.
      
      When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
      mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
      and compensate clock drift.
      
      In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
      successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
      introducing a jitter of ~20us.
      
      It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
      phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
      etc.
