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.

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.

Since we have a TODO item to make all station management dependent on virtual interfaces, I figured I'd start with pushing such a change to drivers before more drivers start using the ieee80211_find_sta() API with a hw pointer and cause us grief later on. For now continue exporting the old API in form of ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw(), but discourage its use strongly. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

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.

In order for userspace to be able to figure out whether it obtained a consistent snapshot of data or not when using netlink dumps, we need to have a generation number in each dump message that indicates whether the list has changed or not -- its value is arbitrary. This patch adds such a number to all dumps, this needs some mac80211 involvement to keep track of a generation number to start with when adding/removing mesh paths or stations. The wiphy and netdev lists can be fully handled within cfg80211, of course, but generation numbers need to be stored there as well.

We forgot to cancel all timers in mac80211 when suspending. In particular we forgot to deal with some things that can cause hardware reconfiguration -- while it is down. While at it we go ahead and add a warning in ieee80211_sta_work() if its run while the suspend->resume cycle is in effect. This should not happen and if it does it would indicate there is a bug lurking in either mac80211 or mac80211 drivers. With this now wpa_supplicant doesn't blink when I go to suspend and resume where as before there where issues with some timers running during the suspend->resume cycle.

The STA may drop the very first frame if it happens to be a retried frame. This is because we maintian the last received sequence number 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 frame from the AP), then wpa_supplicnat disconnects the STA and the whole procedure starts again.

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.

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.

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 aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

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.

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 in some other way we will no longer talk to it.

After fixing zd1211rw: use unaligned safe memcmp() in-place of compare_ether_addr(), I started to see kernel log messages detailing unaligned access: 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.

Long awaited, hard work. This patch totally cleans up the rate control API to remove the requirement to include internal headers outside of net/mac80211/. There's one internal use in the PID algorithm left for mesh networking, we'll have to figure out a way to clean that one up and decide how to do the peer link evaluation, possibly independent of the rate control algorithm or via new API.

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.

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() hardware callback to sleep. This is not feasible because STA 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. This patch changes key locking completely: * 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.

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.
