      mac80211: optimise station flags · c2c98fde
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been
      something that I wanted to get rid of, this
      finally does the conversion to atomic bitops.
      
      The conversion itself is straight-forward in
      most places, a few things needed to change a
      bit since we can no longer use multiple bits
      at the same time.
      
      On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code
      size reduction:
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex
       427861	  23648	   1008	 452517	  6e7a5	before
       425383	  23648	    976	 450007	  6ddd7	after

      mac80211: sparse RCU annotations · 40b275b6
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of
      mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be
      done.
      
      Due the the previous patches, the annotations
      are pretty simple. The only thing that this
      actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
      key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
      actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
      a single assignment done before the key even
      goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
      decided to make it part of this patch.

      mac80211: fix TX a-MPDU locking · ec034b20
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      During my quest to make mac80211 not have any RCU
      warnings from sparse, I came across the a-MPDU code
      again and it wasn't quite clear why it isn't racy.
      So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just
      the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session
      use a separate temporary array protected only by
      the spinlock and protect all assignments to the
      "live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so
      that other code is easily verified to be correct.
      
      Due to pointer assignment atomicity I don't think
      this is a real issue, but I'm not sure, especially
      on Alpha the current code might be problematic.

      mac80211: allow advertising correct maximum aggregate size · 5dd36bc9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, mac80211 always advertises that it may send
      up to 64 subframes in an aggregate. This is fine, since
      it's the max, but might as well be set to zero instead
      since it doesn't have any information.
      
      However, drivers might have that information, so allow
      them to set a variable giving it, which will then be
      used. The default of zero will be fine since to the
      peer that means we don't know and it will just use its
      own limit for the buffer size.

      mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer size · 0b01f030
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
      buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
      buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
      the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
      instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
      isn't possible to honour this request.
      
      In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
      addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
      the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
      with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
      way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
      aggregates appropriately.
      
      Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
      addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
      updated separately to use this variable!

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

          mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session

            mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
      
      The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
      checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
      indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
      callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
      
      The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
      race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
      OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
      aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
      accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
      race window where crashes could happen before the driver
      accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
      drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
      
      For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
       1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
          about the session state; don't drop the lock
      
       2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
          even before the session was really started -- this is
          true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
          iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
          (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.
