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: enable collecting station statistics per-CPU

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

If the driver advertises the new HW flag USE_RSS, make the station statistics on the fast-rx path per-CPU. This will enable calling the RX in parallel, only hitting locking or shared cachelines when the fast-RX path isn't available. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support hw managing reorder logic

2016-02-24T08:04:16+00:00

Enable driver to manage the reordering logic itself. This is needed for example for the iwlwifi driver that will support hardware assisted reordering. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

net/mac80211/debugfs.c: prevent build failure with CONFIG_UBSAN=y

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger: BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1); It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code deoptimizations. Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time. We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following: ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with CONFIG_UBSAN. As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of hw_flag_names array. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "David S.

mac80211: allow driver to prevent two stations w/ same address

2015-12-04T13:43:32+00:00

Some devices or drivers cannot deal with having the same station address for different virtual interfaces, say as a client to two virtual AP interfaces. Rather than requiring each driver with a limitation like that to enforce it, add a hardware flag for it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Fix hwflags debugfs file format

2015-10-13T08:30:56+00:00

Commit 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap") accidentally removed the newline delimiter from the hwflags debugfs file. Fix this by adding back the newline between the HW flags.

mac80211: Copy tx'ed beacons to monitor mode

2015-09-29T13:56:33+00:00

When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful to see our own beacons that are transmitted by the hardware/driver. However, this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues. Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are getting fetched by the driver. Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by drivers to indicate that they report TX status for beacons.

mac80211: allow the driver to advertise A-MSDU within A-MPDU Rx support

2015-09-22T13:21:24+00:00

Drivers may be interested in receiving A-MSDU within A-MDPU. Not all the devices may be able to do so, make it configurable. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
