mac80211: add support for HE

Add support for HE in mac80211 conforming with P802.11ax_D1.4. Johannes: Fix another bug with the buf_size comparison in agg-rx.c. Signed-off-by: Liad Kaufman Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer Signed-off-by: Ido Yariv Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Support adding duration for prepare_tx() callback

2018-05-23T09:06:10+00:00

There are specific cases, such as SAE authentication exchange, that might require long duration to complete. For such cases, add support for indicating to the driver the required duration of the prepare_tx() operation, so the driver would still be able to complete the frame exchange. Currently, indicate the duration only for SAE authentication exchange, as SAE authentication can take up to 2000 msec (as defined in IEEE P802.11-REVmd D1.0 p. 3504). As the patch modified the prepare_tx() callback API, also modify the relevant code in iwlwifi. Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Merge remote-tracking branch 'net-next/master' into mac80211-next

2018-05-23T09:05:59+00:00

Bring in net-next which had pulled in net, so I have the changes from mac80211 and can apply a patch that would otherwise conflict. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add api to set CSA counter in mac80211

2018-05-07T18:50:15+00:00

Sometimes the most updated CSA counter values are known only to the device. Add an API to pass this data to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Gregory Greenman Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Johannes Berg says: ==================== We have a fair number of patches, but many of them are from the first bullet here: * EAPoL-over-nl80211 from Denis - this will let us fix some long-standing issues with bridging, races with encryption and more * DFS offload support from the qtnfmac folks * regulatory database changes for the new ETSI adaptivity requirements * various other fixes and small enhancements ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here... For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel adds. Trivially resolved. In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in 'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed. In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the 'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied over here. The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code. The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial, the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and here are their notes: ==================== Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can be based. Conflicts: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524 (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support) add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list added by the representors patch needed to be modified to match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup patch. Updates: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function names as changed by cleanup patch drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init stage list to match new order from cleanup patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

mac80211: notify driver for change in multicast rates

2018-03-23T12:23:17+00:00

With drivers implementing rate control in driver or firmware rate_control_send_low() may not get called, and thus the driver needs to know about changes in the multicast rate. Add and use a new BSS change flag for this. Signed-off-by: Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu [rewrite commit message] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add ieee80211_hw flag for QoS NDP support

2018-03-21T09:56:18+00:00

Commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing") added an argument qos_ok to ieee80211_nullfunc_get to support QoS NDP. Despite the claim in the commit log "Change all the drivers to *not* allow QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK with that", this commit enables QoS NDP in response to beacons (see change to mlme.c:ieee80211_send_nullfunc), causing ath9k_htc to lose IP connectivity. See: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10241109/ https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891060 Introduce a hardware flag to allow such buggy drivers to override the correct default behaviour of mac80211 of sending QoS NDP packets.
