mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support

2016-04-06T11:18:19+00:00

Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only supported for debugging purposes. To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

mac80211: add fast-rx path

2016-04-06T11:18:18+00:00

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.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

ieee80211: support parsing Fine Timing Measurement action frame

mac80211: limit the A-MSDU Tx based on peer's capabilities

2016-02-24T08:04:20+00:00

In VHT, the specification allows to limit the number of MSDUs in an A-MSDU in the Extended Capabilities IE. There is also a limitation on the byte size in the VHT IE. In HT, the only limitation is on the byte size. Parse the capabilities from the peer and make them available to the driver. In HT, there is another limitation when a BA agreement is active: the byte size can't be greater than 4095. This is not enforced here. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: process and save VHT MU-MIMO group frame

2016-01-14T10:13:10+00:00

The Group ID Management frame is an Action frame of category VHT. It is transmitted by the AP to assign or change the user position of a STA for one or more group IDs. Process and save the group membership data. Notify underlying driver of changes. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

net/ieee80211: ieee80211_is_* can be boolean

2015-10-09T14:48:59+00:00

This patch makes ieee80211_is_* return bool to improve readability due to these particular functions only using either one or zero as their return value. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Yaowei Bai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
