      mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap · 30686bf7
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
      convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
      bitmaps.
      
      This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
      test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
      
      The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
      drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
      fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

      mac80211: add TX fastpath · 17c18bf8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
      that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
      able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
      external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
      packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.
      
      There's also a more detailed description in the code.

      mac80211: lock rate control · 35c347ac
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
      control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
      likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.
      
      In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
      update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
      when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
      can cause firmware crashes.
      
      Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
      just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
      data structures the algorithms maintain.
      
      I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
      advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
      running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
      this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
      client. With this change, the system survives this test.

      mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation · ba8c3d6f
      Felix Fietkau 提交于
      This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
      they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
      short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.
      
      The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
      queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
      calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
      management later without changing drivers using this code.
      
      This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
      aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

      mac80211: use rhashtable for station table · 7bedd0cf
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are
      using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash
      is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and
      we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting
      as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The
      other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size
      of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions.
      
      Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives
      us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random
      perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course
      that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain
      length, improving both cases above.
      
      Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed
      length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested
      by Sergey Ryazanov.

      This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we

      very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that
      with tracing instead.

      is more important than the debugging.

      mac80211: fix handling TIM IE when stations disconnect · 9b7a86f3
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When a station disconnects with frames still pending, we clear
      the TIM bit, but too late - it's only cleared when the station
      is already removed from the driver, and thus the driver can get
      confused (and hwsim will loudly complain.)
      
      Fix this by clearing the TIM bit earlier, when the station has
      been unlinked but not removed from the driver yet. To do this,
      refactor the TIM recalculation to in that case ignore traffic
      and simply assume no pending traffic - this is correct for the
      disconnected station even though the frames haven't been freed
      yet at that point.
      
      This patch isn't needed for current drivers though as they don't
      check the station argument to the set_tim() operation and thus
      don't really run into the possible confusion.

      to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211.
      
      Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know
      this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up
      with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"),
      that can be added if it turns out to be needed.

      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 station wakeup powersave race · e3685e03
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario:
       1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver
       2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered)
       3) station wakes up again
       4) driver unblocks wakeup
      
      In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following:
       1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set
       2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set
       3) - nothing -
       4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared
      
      As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even
      though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that
      triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end().
      
      Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at
      the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb
      queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432d
      ("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing
      the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path.

      mac80211: insert stations before adding to driver · 5108ca82
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations
      to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which
      means that (for example) the following can happen:
       1. a station connects and is added
       2. first, it is added to the driver
       3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists
      
      If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the
      firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will
      never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never
      realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the
      frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was
      present yet.
      
      Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only
      then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the
      driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's
      station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the
      driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is
      needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA
      sessions in the meantime.

      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: handle MMPDUs at EOSP correctly · b77cf4f8
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      If a uAPSD service period ends with an MMPDU, we currently just
      send that MMPDU, but it obviously won't get the EOSP bit set as
      it doesn't have a QoS header. This contradicts the standard, so
      add a QoS-nulldata frame after the MMPDU to properly terminate
      the service period with a frame that has EOSP set.
      
      Also fix a bug wrt. the TID for the MMPDU, it shouldn't be set
      to 0 unconditionally but use the actual TID that was assigned.
