      mac80211: remove ignore_plink_timer flag · 2b470c39
      Bob Copeland 提交于
      The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the
      ignore_plink_timer flag.  It seems the original intent was to
      handle this race:
      
      cpu 0                           cpu 1
      -----                           -----
                                      start timer handler for state X
      acquire sta_lock
      change state from X to Y
      mod_timer() / del_timer()
      release sta_lock
                                      acquire sta_lock
                                      execute state Y timer too soon
      
      However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to
      detect these cases is broken.  As a result, timers get ignored
      unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state
      machine.
      
      Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration.
      In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following
      (LISTEN/ESTAB) states since they won't have timers anyway.

      mac80211: fix station/driver powersave race · 5ac2e350
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS
      unblock work like this:
       * station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver
       * driver blocks wakeup
       * station wakes up again
       * driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules
         the unblock work
       * unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is
         awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set)
       * we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again
       * ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames
         to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and
         WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags
      
      In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake,
      while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered
      by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then
      passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it
      thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be
      dropped.
      
      Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we
      learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering,
      so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done,
      this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the
      spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any
      concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

      mac80211: fix AP powersave TX vs. wakeup race · 1d147bfa
      Emmanuel Grumbach 提交于
      There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while
      a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes
      up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX
      path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be
      processed while a packet is being transmitted.
      
      This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list
      is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on
      the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in
      the TX path.
      
      As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime
      soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the
      station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time.
      
      Additionally, it can lead to the crash below.
      
      Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock.
      Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations.
      
      In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to
      reduce locking overhead.

      mac80211: implement SMPS for AP · 687da132
      Emmanuel Grumbach 提交于
      When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS,
      we send an action frame to each associated station and
      reconfigure the channel context / driver.
      Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored.
      
      The beacon isn't updated. The association response will
      include the original capabilities. Stations that associate
      while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right
      after association to inform them about our current state.
      Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an
      action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue
      for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL
      frames in MIMO anyway.
      
      When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g.
      STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep
      We remember that they don't know about the change and send
      the action frame when they wake up.
      
      When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g.
      OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA.
      uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action
      frame, but this is for a short period of time.

      mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 · e1a0c6b3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
      step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
      in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
      indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
      station. Of course, make all drivers use it.
      
      To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
      the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
      so it can set up the new bandwidth field.
      
      If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
      also set the bandwidth accordingly.
      
      Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
      the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
      the current setting.
      
      While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
      ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
      really happens...)

      mac80211: mesh power save basics · 3f52b7e3
      Marco Porsch 提交于
      Add routines to
      - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode
      - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames
      - track neighbor STAs power modes
      - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode
      - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons
      - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods
      
      Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power
      mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer
      link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh
      config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor
      changes.
      Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the
      non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated
      mesh peering is currently not working when either node is
      configured to be in power save mode.
      
      Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS
      Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions.
      For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame
      flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA
      pointer is already available.
      
      Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific
      power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to
      represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations.
      Track power modes based on received frames.
      
      Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS
      neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer).
      
      Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame
      buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer
      and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons.
      
      Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or
      deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE
      similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received
      Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames.
      
      Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use
      the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status.
      Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end
      the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and
      show large delay spikes and frame losses.

      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.

      Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
