cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

2021-01-26T10:55:50+00:00

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock contention on that. Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get parallel calls for a single device). Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

mac80211: add rx decapsulation offload support

2021-01-21T12:34:49+00:00

This allows drivers to pass 802.3 frames to mac80211, with some restrictions: - the skb must be passed with a valid sta - fast-rx needs to be active for the sta - monitor mode needs to be disabled mac80211 will tell the driver when it is safe to enable rx decap offload for a particular station. In order to implement support, a driver must: - call ieee80211_hw_set(hw, SUPPORTS_RX_DECAP_OFFLOAD) - implement ops->sta_set_decap_offload - mark 802.3 frames with RX_FLAG_8023 If it doesn't want to enable offload for some vif types, it can mask out IEEE80211_OFFLOAD_DECAP_ENABLED in vif->offload_flags from within the .add_interface or .update_vif_offload driver ops Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201218184718.93650-6-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: support MIC error/replay detected counters driver update

2020-12-11T11:53:48+00:00

Support the driver incrementing MIC error and replay detected counters when having detected a bad frame, if it drops it directly instead of relying on mac80211 to do the checks. These are then exposed to userspace, though currently only in some cases and in debugfs.

mac80211: add radiotap flag to assure frames are not reordered

2020-11-06T10:01:01+00:00

Add a new radiotap flag to indicate injected frames must not be reordered relative to other frames that also have this flag set, independent of priority field values in the transmitted frame. Parse this radiotap flag and define and set a corresponding Tx control flag. Note that this flag has recently been standardized as part of an update to radiotap.

mac80211: save HE oper info in BSS config for mesh

2020-11-06T09:03:21+00:00

Currently he_support is set only for AP mode. Storing this information for mesh BSS as well helps driver to determine HE support. Also save HE operation element params in BSS conf so that drivers can access this for any configurations instead of having to parse the beacon to fetch that info.
