      mac80211: add U-APSD client support · ab13315a
      Kalle Valo 提交于
      Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
      idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
      frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
      possible to save even more power.
      
      Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
      implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
      hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.
      
      Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running
      various test traffic with ping.

      cfg80211/mac80211: Use more generic bitrate mask for rate control · 37eb0b16
      Jouni Malinen 提交于
      Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask
      instead of just a single fixed or maximum rate index. This change
      itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
      prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
      which rates can be used in TX rate control.
      
      Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
      unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
      be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
      optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
      
      The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained
      (but commented as deprecated) for backwards compatibility with existing
      RC implementations. Once these implementations have been updated to
      use the more generic rate_idx_mask, the max_rate_idx value can be
      removed.

      mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev · 47846c9b
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have
      a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so
      prepare for that by reducing the reliance on
      having a netdev. This patch moves the name
      and address fields into the sdata struct and
      uses them from there all over. Some work is
      needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not
      a lot of work and in slow paths anyway.
      
      In doing so, this also reduces the number of
      pointer dereferences in many places, because
      of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming
      sdata->vif.addr.

      mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling · 827d42c9
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
      was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
      which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
      changing the order in which things were done -- this was

          mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
      
      and other parts were already present in the original
      
        commit d92684e6

            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.

      cfg80211: introduce capability for 4addr mode · 9bc383de
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      It's very likely that not many devices will support
      four-address mode in station or AP mode so introduce
      capability bits for both modes, set them in mac80211
      and check them when userspace tries to use the mode.
      Also, keep track of 4addr in cfg80211 (wireless_dev)
      and not in mac80211 any more. mac80211 can also be
      improved for the VLAN case by not looking at the
      4addr flag but maintaining the station pointer for
      it correctly. However, keep track of use_4addr for
      station mode in mac80211 to avoid all the derefs.

      mac80211: fix resume · ceb99fe0
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      When mac80211 resumes, it currently first sets suspended
      to false so the driver can start doing things and we can
      receive frames.
      
      However, if we actually receive frames then it can end
      up starting some work which adds timers and then later
      runs into a BUG_ON in the timer code because it tries
      add_timer() on a pending timer.
      
      Fix this by keeping track of the resuming process by
      introducing a new variable 'resuming' which gets set to
      true early on instead of setting 'suspended' to false,
      and allow queueing work but not receiving frames while
      resuming.

      This variable is set once, and tested once.
      However, the code path that can set it is
      mutually exclusive with the code path that

      mac80211: split hardware scan by band · 4d36ec58
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      There's currently a very odd bug in mac80211 -- a
      hardware scan that is done while the hardware is
      really operating on 2.4 GHz will include CCK rates
      in the probe request frame, even on 5 GHz (if the
      driver uses the mac80211 IEs). Vice versa, if the
      hardware is operating on 5 GHz the 2.4 GHz probe
      requests will not include CCK rates even though
      they should.
      
      Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by
      band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and
      requesting only per-band scans from the driver.
      
      Apparently this bug hasn't been a problem yet, but
      it is imaginable that some older access points get
      confused if confronted with such behaviour.

      cfg80211/mac80211: use debugfs_remove_recursive · 7bcfaf2f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
      by using debugfs_remove_recursive().
      
      First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
      so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
      added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
      ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).
      
      Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
      where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
      as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
      still need to be handled but can now be removed without
      needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.
