      mac80211: flush keys when stopping AP · 7b4396bd

      Since hostapd will remove keys this isn't usually
      an issue, but we shouldn't leak keys to the next
      BSS started on the same interface. For VLANs this
      also fixes a bug, keys that aren't removed would
      otherwise be leaked.

      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

      cfg80211: comprehensively check station changes · 77ee7c89
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The station change API isn't being checked properly before
      drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see
      what should be allowed and what not.
      
      In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse
      everything first, and then have the driver call a function
      (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally
      information about the kind of station that is being changed;
      this allows the function to make better decisions than the
      old code could.
      
      While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh
      and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation.
      
      To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits
      when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then.

      mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scans · 6c17b77b
      Seth Forshee 提交于
      Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the
      mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while
      still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to
      facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211
      queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues.
      
      To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason,
      IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx
      queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from
      waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues.
      
      This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to
      be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag,
      IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted
      when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update
      all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag.

      mac80211: explicitly copy channels to VLANs where needed · 1f4ac5a6
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently the code assigns channel contexts to VLANs
      (for use by the TX/RX code) when the AP master gets
      its channel context assigned. This works fine, but
      in the upcoming radar detection work the VLANs don't
      require a channel context (during radar detection)
      and assigning one to them anyway causes issues with
      locking and also inconsistencies -- a VLAN interface
      that is added before radar detection would get the
      channel context, while one added during it wouldn't.
      
      Fix these issues moving the channel context copying
      to a new explicit operation that will not be used
      in the radar detection code.

      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.

      using the control channel frequency (as before) and
      new attributes for the channel width and first and
      second center frequency. The old channel type is of
      course still supported for HT.
      
      Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
      to support these by adding the relevant fields to
      it (and removing the _type field.)
      
      This also adds new helper functions:
       - cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
         struct given the control channel and channel type,
       - cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
         definitions are identical
       - cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
         channel definitions are compatible, and return the
         wider of the two
      
      This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
      until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
      missing
       - regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
         even makes sense)
       - regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)

      As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the

      This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
      right now.
      
      Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
      not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
      by removing the ability to use different channel types.
      Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
      we extend it again later (with the needed capability
      flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.
