      mac80211: implement support for 4-address frames for AP and client mode · f14543ee
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
      Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
      to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
      AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
      destination MAC addresses.
      With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
      only 4-address frames for data traffic.
      On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
      clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
      in 4-address mode.
      Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
      will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
      regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
      The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
      easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
      addresses on any side.

      mac80211: async station powersave handling · af818581
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Some devices require that all frames to a station
      are flushed when that station goes into powersave
      mode before being able to send frames to that
      station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
      order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
      frames being sent to the station when it polls.
      
      Normally, this is the case unless the station
      goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
      But in that case, frames for it may be pending
      on the hardware queues, and thus races could
      happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
      used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
      but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
      sure the race doesn't happen.
      
      This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
      with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
      per-station flag that can be controlled by the
      driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
      frames or not. This flag must be set according to
      very specific rules outlined in the documentation
      for the function that controls it.
      
      When we buffer new frames for the station, we
      normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
      the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
      we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
      respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
      TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
      the TIM bit.
      
      Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
      need to wait until all other frames are flushed
      before we can transmit frames to that station,
      so the same applies here, we need to wait for
      the driver to give the OK.

      mac80211: fix vlan and optimise RX · fbc44bf7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When receiving data frames, we can send them only to
      the interface they belong to based on transmitting
      station (this doesn't work for probe requests). Also,
      don't try to handle other frames for AP_VLAN at all
      since those interface should only receive data.
      
      Additionally, the transmit side must check that the
      station we're sending a frame to is actually on the
      interface we're transmitting on, and not transmit
      packets to functions that live on other interfaces,
      so validate that as well.
      
      Another bug fix is needed in sta_info.c where in the
      VLAN case when adding/removing stations we overwrite
      the sdata variable we still need.

      We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending.

      and resume where as before there where issues with some timers
      running during the suspend->resume cycle. This caused a lot of

      mac80211: Initialize RX's last received sequence number · cccaec98

      The STA may drop the very first frame if it happens to be a retried

      per TID for QoS frames and it is initialized to zero through kzalloc
      during sta_info_alloc and the sequence number of the very first date
      frame received would be ZERO (as per IEEE 802.11-2007, 7.1.3.4.1).
      
      If the frame dropped happens to be an EAP Request Identity(very first

      mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings · 57c4d7b4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
      hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
      rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
      beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
      an AP.
      
      This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
      of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
      the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
      the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
      
      NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
            to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
            drivers, some are updated in this patch.

      mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi · e4e72fb4
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
      mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
      it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
      starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
      
      To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
      queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
      track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
      to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
      two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
      mac80211 counterparts.

      mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop · cd8ffc80

      Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
      (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
      the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
      queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.
      
      We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
      we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
      a follow-up patch.
      
      This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support

      mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queues · 96f5e66e
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation.
      
      This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues,
      but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough
      version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time,
      which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is
      currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs
      that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP).
      
      This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to
      execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like
      this:
       1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for
          fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented
          frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a
          single frame with its fragments)
       2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a
          per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation,
          when the session has come up take all those frames and put them
          onto the queue from 1)
       3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in
          mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from
          mac80211 again
      
      This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the
      frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

      mac80211: fix aggregation timer lockups · 55687e38
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX
      session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under
      the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the
      TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled
      before the sta_info is freed.
      
      Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case,
      and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in
      the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something
      is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it

      After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of

        Kernel unaligned access at TPC[100f7f44] sta_info_get+0x24/0x68 [mac80211]
      
      As with the aforementioned patch, the unaligned access was eminating
      from a compare_ether_addr() call. Concerned that whilst it was safe to
      assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take
      preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the
      easy fix of changing the call to memcmp().
      
      My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are
      a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing
      mac address comparisons throughout the module.

      mac80211: make master netdev handling sane · 3e122be0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
      pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
      is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
      it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
      have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
      virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
      data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
      saving stations.)
      
      Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
      be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
      the list of interfaces either.
      
      This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
       - no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
         lets me remove a lot of tests for that
       - no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
      
      Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
      that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
      in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
      point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
      code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
      on the master netdev any more.

      mac80211: proper STA info locking · 07346f81
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
      and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
      structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
      especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
      be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
      CPUs at the same time.
      
      Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
      parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
      the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
      for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
      is safe.
      
      It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
      flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
      is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
      very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
      introduces for accessing sta->flags.
      
      Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
      be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
      same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
      is in a bh context.

      Up to now, key manipulation is supposed to run under RTNL to
      avoid concurrent manipulations and also allow the set_key()

      structs are rcu-protected and thus a lot of operations there
      cannot take the RTNL. Also, key references are rcu-protected
      so we cannot do things atomically.

       * key operations are now atomic
       * hardware crypto offload is enabled and disabled from
         a workqueue, due to that key freeing is also delayed
       * debugfs code is also run from a workqueue
       * keys reference STAs (and vice versa!) so during STA
         unlink the STAs key reference is removed but not the
         keys STA reference, to avoid races key todo work is
         run before STA destruction.
       * fewer STA operations now need the RTNL which was
         required due to key operations
      
      This fixes the locking problems lockdep pointed out and also
      makes things more light-weight because the rtnl isn't required
      as much.
      
      Note that the key todo lock/key mutex are global locks, this
      is not required, of course, they could be per-hardware instead.

      mac80211: fix sta-info pinning · 7d1559f1
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When a STA is supposed to be unlinked but is pinned, it still needs
      to be unlinked from all structures. Only at the end of the unlink
      process should we check for pin status and invalidate the callers
      reference if it is pinned. Move the pin status check down.

      mac80211: fix possible sta-debugfs work lockup · 49ec6fa2
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Because we queue the sta-debugfs-adding work on our mac80211
      workqueue (which needs to be flushed under RTNL) and that work
      needs the RTNL, it can currently deadlock, thanks to Reinette
      Chatre for pointing out the lockdep warning about this.
      
      This patch fixes it by moving this work to the common kernel
      workqueue (using schedule_work) and canceling it as appropriate.
      
      It also fixes a related problem: When a STA is pinned by the
      debugfs adding work and sta_info_flush() runs concurrently
      it is not guaranteed that all STAs are removed from the driver
      before the corresponding interface is removed which may lead
      to bugs.
