Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms. In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an update and other data access are run concurrently, for example when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this can cause firmware crashes. Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult, just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal data structures the algorithms maintain. I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the client. With this change, the system survives this test. Reported-by: NSven Eckelmann <sven@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The mesh plink code uses sta->lock to serialize access to the plink state fields between the peer link state machine and the peer link timer. Some paths (e.g. those involving mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed. Add a new spinlock just for plink access.

Every tracing file must have its own TRACE_SYSTEM defined. The mac80211 tracepoint header broke this and add in the middle of the file had: #undef TRACE_SYSTEM #define TRACE_SYSTEM mac80211_msg Unfortunately, this broke new code in the ftrace infrastructure. Moving the mac80211_msg into its own trace file with its own TRACE_SYSTEM defined fixes the issue.

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.

This patch adds the statistical descriptor "standard deviation" to better describe the current properties of Minstrel and Minstrel-HTs success probability distribution.

There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

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. The former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be able to reliably tell the difference.

If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies QoS), reject it. This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec. However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions it's better to reject them. Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it captures the error cases as well.

However, there's no fundamental reason for this code to hold the sta->lock while transmitting frames.
