Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but mac80211 currently assumes that they do. This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the key setting refused. Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1. The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers that the driver can't actually do. While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different bandwidths at the same time. Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field for the bandwidth ('bw') instead. While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate, but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them. In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The base for the current statistics is pretty mixed up, support exporting RX/TX statistics for MSDUs per TID. This (currently) covers received MSDUs, transmitted MSDUs and retries/failures thereof. Doing it per TID for MSDUs makes more sense than say only per AC because it's symmetric - we could export per-AC statistics for all frames (which AC we used for transmission can be determined also for management frames) but per TID is better and usually data frames are really the ones we care about. Also, on RX we can't determine the AC - but we do know the TID for any QoS MPDU we received. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver 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. This also gets rid of the get_rssi() method as is can now be implemented using sta_statistics(). Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented for most drivers. The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid assumption for p54 and cw1200. Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain changes/updates for its own wiphy. A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible with non-locally originated hints. A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on its wiphy only. After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get a new type of change notification. The regulatory core also takes care enforce regulatory restrictions, in case some interfaces are on forbidden channels.

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed is an lsync or eieio instruction. This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows: Barrier Call Explanation --------- -------- ---------------------------------- rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb(). Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the CPU and a device. It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to be gained in trying to define such a function.

Add the required firmware commands for A0 steering and a way to enable that. The firmware support focuses on INIT_HCA, QUERY_HCA, QUERY_PORT, QUERY_DEV_CAP and QUERY_FUNC_CAP commands. Those commands are used to configure and query the device. The different A0 DMFS (steering) modes are: Static - optimized performance, but flow steering rules are limited. This mode should be choosed explicitly by the user in order to be used. Dynamic - this mode should be explicitly choosed by the user. In this mode, the FW works in optimized steering mode as long as it can and afterwards automatically drops to classic (full) DMFS. Disable - this mode should be explicitly choosed by the user. The user instructs the system not to use optimized steering, even if the FW supports Dynamic A0 DMFS (and thus will be able to use optimized steering in Default A0 DMFS mode). Default - this mode is implicitly choosed. In this mode, if the FW supports Dynamic A0 DMFS, it'll work in this mode. Otherwise, it'll work at Disable A0 DMFS mode. Under SRIOV configuration, when the A0 steering mode is enabled, older guest VF drivers who aren't using the RX QP allocation flag (MLX4_RESERVE_A0_QP) will get a QP from the general range and fail when attempting to register a steering rule. To avoid that, the PF context behaviour is changed once on A0 static mode, to require support for the allocation flag in VF drivers too. In order to enable A0 steering, we use log_num_mgm_entry_size param. If the value of the parameter is not positive, we treat the absolute value of log_num_mgm_entry_size as a bit field. Setting bit 2 of this bit field enables static A0 steering. Signed-off-by: NMatan Barak <matanb@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NOr Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

A0 hybrid steering is a form of high performance flow steering. By using this mode, mlx4 cards use a fast limited table based steering, in order to enable fast steering of unicast packets to a QP. In order to implement A0 hybrid steering we allocate resources from different zones: (1) General range (2) Special MAC-assigned QPs [RSS, Raw-Ethernet] each has its own region. When we create a rss QP or a raw ethernet (A0 steerable and BF ready) QP, we try hard to allocate the QP from range (2). Otherwise, we try hard not to allocate from this range. However, when the system is pushed to its limits and one needs every resource, the allocator uses every region it can. Meaning, when we run out of raw-eth qps, the allocator allocates from the general range (and the special-A0 area is no longer active). If we run out of RSS qps, the mechanism tries to allocate from the raw-eth QP zone. If that is also exhausted, the allocator will allocate from the general range (and the A0 region is no longer active). Note that if a raw-eth qp is allocated from the general range, it attempts to allocate the range such that bits 6 and 7 (blueflame bits) in the QP number are not set. When the feature is used in SRIOV, the VF has to notify the PF what kind of QP attributes it needs. In order to do that, along with the "Eth QP blueflame" bit, we reserve a new "A0 steerable QP". According to the combination of these bits, the PF tries to allocate a suitable QP. In order to maintain backward compatibility (with older PFs), the PF notifies which QP attributes it supports via QUERY_FUNC_CAP command.
