      mac80211: optimise synchronize_net() for sta_info_flush · d778207b
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There's no reason to have one synchronize_net() for each
      removed station, refactor the code slightly to have just
      a single synchronize_net() for all stations.
      
      Note that this is currently useless as hostapd removes
      stations one by one and this coalescing never happens.

      mac80211: move synchronize_net() before sta key removal · c8782078
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There's no reason to do this inside the sta key removal
      since the keys can only be reached through the sta (and
      not by the driver at all) so once the sta can no longer
      be reached, the keys are safe.
      
      This will allow further optimisation opportunities with
      multiple stations.

      mac80211: don't delay station destruction · d34ba216
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If we can assume that stations are never referenced by the
      driver after sta_state returns (and this is true since the
      previous iwlmvm patch and for all other drivers) then we
      don't need to delay station destruction, and don't need to
      play tricks with rcu_barrier() etc.
      
      This should speed up some scenarios like hostapd shutdown.

      mac80211: move 4-addr sta pointer clearing before synchronize_rcu() · a710c816
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The pointer should be cleared before synchronize_rcu() so that the
      consequently dead station won't be found by any lookups in the TX
      or RX paths.
      
      Also check that the station is actually the one being removed, the
      check is not needed because each 4-addr VLAN can only have a single
      station and non-4-addr VLANs always have a NULL pointer there, but
      the code is clearer this way (and we avoid the memory write.)

      mac80211: add pre-RCU-sync sta removal driver operation · 6a9d1b91
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, mac80211 allows drivers to keep RCU-protected station
      references that are cleared when the station is removed from the
      driver and consequently needs to synchronize twice, once before
      removing the station from the driver (so it can guarantee that
      the station is no longer used in TX towards the driver) and once
      after the station is removed from the driver.
      
      Add a new pre-RCU-synchronisation station removal operation to
      the API to allow drivers to clear/invalidate their RCU-protected
      station pointers before the RCU synchronisation.
      
      This will allow removing the second synchronisation by changing
      the driver API so that the driver may no longer assume a valid
      RCU-protected pointer after sta_remove/sta_state returns.
      
      The alternative to this would be to synchronize_rcu() in all the
      drivers that currently rely on this behaviour (only iwlmvm) but
      that would defeat the purpose.

      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: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roaming · 8d1f7ecd
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter
      will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are
      removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient
      because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must
      be called to avoid packet races, although typically no
      packets would be flowing during that time.
      
      To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys
      are removed (by half a second). This means the counter
      will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never
      reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition.
      
      Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for
      which this optimisation was done to start with, for them
      the key removal itself will be expensive because it has
      to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to
      remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will
      look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a
      lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately,
      during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary.
      
      (*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to
          1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to
          0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both
          keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes
          to 1 first because they're added in software; when a
          key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0

      mac80211: fix mesh sta teardown · 45b5028e
      Thomas Pedersen 提交于
      The patch "mac80211: clean up mesh sta allocation warning"
      moved some mesh initialization into a path which is only
      called when the kernel handles peering. This causes a hang
      when mac80211 tries to clean up a userspace-allocated
      station entry and delete a timer which has never been
      initialized.
      
      To avoid this, only do any mesh sta peering teardown if
      the kernel is actually handling it.
      
      The same is true when quiescing before suspend.

      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: make client powersave independent of interface type · d012a605
      Marco Porsch 提交于
      This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or
      ad-hoc powersave clients.
      The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are
      moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure
      that can be embedded into any interface type.
      The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy
      extension with different interface types. For example with:
      
      + } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) {
      +         ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps;
      
      Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they
      were obviously not used.
      
      The patch compiles without warning and has been briefly tested as AP
      interface with one client in PS mode.
