There's this internal wifi_wme_noack_test variable that we use to set the QoS control if set. For one, it is unlikely that it is set. Secondly, if set it needs to influence the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK TX control flag, and finally we should also be able to set it at all, so make it available in debugfs.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs: hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is rather confusing, even though the former is used when we beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to an AP. This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily. NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all drivers, some are updated in this patch.

The fragmentation threshold is defined to be including the FCS, and the code that sets the TX_FRAGMENTED flag correctly accounts for those four bytes. The code that verifies this doesn't though, which could lead to spurious warnings and frames being dropped although everything is ok. Correct the code by accounting for the FCS.

This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb queue once aggregation is turned on successfully. We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in a follow-up patch. This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated; make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs to walk the skb->next list. This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code, which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing. Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: NLuis R.

ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save bit was dropped and AP never received it.

This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this flag for monitor interfaces. Acked-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

ADDBA request Action frame was sent out before 4-way handshake was completed and the initial 802.11w code ended up dropping the frame even if MFP was not enabled. While the sending of Action frames this early is not really a good idea (will break with MFP enabled), we should not break this for the MFP disabled case. This patch fixes ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() not to drop management frames if MFP is disabled. If MFP is enabled, Action frames will be dropped before keys are set per IEEE 802.11w/D7.0. Other robust management frames (i.e., Deauthentication and Disassociation frames) are allowed unprotected prior to key configuration.

This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.
