The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions on the driver are the following: * hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation) * hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption) * hardware/driver did de-duplication * hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation * AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode) * no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode) of which some are actually checked per packet: * de-duplication * PN checking * decryption and additionally packets must * not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device) * be data packets * not be fragmented * be unicast * have RFC 1042 header Additionally dynamically we assume: * no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed * station must be authorized * 4-addr format not enabled Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station "fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast RX path. After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of the data cached in the small fast_rx struct. This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need to be per-CPU still.)

In the time since the mesh path table was implemented as an RCU-traversable, dynamically growing hash table, a generic RCU hashtable implementation was added to the kernel. Switch the mesh path table over to rhashtable to remove some code and also gain some features like automatic shrinking.

The mesh path and mesh gate hashtables are global, containing all of the mpaths for every mesh interface, but the paths are all tied logically to a single interface. The common case is just a single mesh interface, so optimize for that by moving the global hashtable into the per-interface struct. Doing so allows us to drop sdata pointer comparisons inside the lookups and also saves a few bytes of BSS and data.

Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this security issue and now has the following text: The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1. Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

Jouni found a bug in the remain-on-channel logic: when a short item is queued, a long item is combined with it extending the original one, and then the long item is deleted, the timeout doesn't go back to the short one, and the short item ends up taking a long time. In this case, this showed as blocking scan when running two test cases back to back - the scan from the second was delayed even though all the remain-on-channel items should long have been gone. Fixing this with the current data structures turns out to be a bit complicated, we just remove the long item from the dependents list right now and don't recalculate the timeouts. There's a somewhat similar bug where we delete the short item and all the dependents go with it; to fix this we'd have to move them from the dependents to the real list. Instead of trying to do that, rewrite the code to not have all this complexity in the data structures: use a single list and allow more than one entry in it being marked as started. This makes the code a bit more complex, the worker needs to understand that it might need to just remove one of the started items, while keeping the device off-channel, but that's not more complicated than the nested data structures. This then fixes both issues described, and makes it easier to also limit the overall off-channel time when combining. TODO: as before, with hardware remain-on-channel, deleting an item after combining results in cancelling them all - we can keep track of the time elapsed and only cancel after that to fix this.

The IEEE802.11-2012 specification is vague regarding SMPS operation during TDLS. It does not define a clear way to transition between SMPS states. To avoid interop issues, set SMPS to off when TDLS peers are connected. Accomplish this by extending the definition of the AUTOMATIC state. If the driver forces a state other than OFF, disconnect all TDLS peers. While at it, avoid changing the SMPS state of the peer STA. We have no way to control it, so try and behave correctly towards it. Move the TDLS peer-teardown function to where the rest of the TDLS code resides.

Define a station chandef, to be used for wider-bw TDLS peers. When both peers support the feature, upgrade the channel bandwidth to the maximum allowed by both peers and regulatory. Currently widths up to 80MHz are supported in the 5GHz band. When a TDLS peer connects/disconnects recalculate the channel type of the current chanctx. Make the chanctx width calculation consider wider-bw TDLS peers and similarly fix the max_required_bw calculation for the chanctx min_def. Since the sta->bandwidth is calculated only later on, take bss_conf.chandef.width as the minimal width for station interface.

When introducing multiple RX queues, a single NAPI struct will not be sufficient. Instead of trying to store multiple, simply change the API to have the NAPI struct passed to the RX function. This of course means that drivers using rx_irqsafe() cannot use NAPI, but that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of all drivers are currently using it at all. While at it, we can now remove the IEEE80211_RX_REORDER_TIMER flag again since this code path cannot have a napi struct anyway. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Due to remain-on-channel scheduling delays, when we split an ROC while coalescing, we'll usually get a picture like this: existing ROC: |------------------| current time: ^ new ROC: |------| |-------| If the expected response frames are then transmitted by the peer in the hole between the two fragments of the new ROC, we miss them and the process (e.g. ANQP query) fails. mac80211 expects that the window to miss something is small: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |------||-------| but that's normally not the case. To avoid this problem, coalesce only if the new ROC's duration is <= the remaining time on the existing one: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |-----| and never split a new one but schedule it afterwards instead: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |-------------| type=bugfix bug=not-tracked fixes=unknown Reported-by: NMatti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Reviewed-by: NEliadX Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Reviewed-by: NMatti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Tested-by: NMatti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT) ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.) In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED. Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only used once in the remaining code. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
