mac80211: MBSSID support in interface handling

2021-09-28T12:22:18+00:00

Configure multiple BSSID and enhanced multi-BSSID advertisement (EMA) parameters in mac80211 for AP mode. For each interface, 'mbssid_tx_vif' points to the transmitting interface of the MBSSID set. The pointer is set to NULL if MBSSID is disabled. Function ieee80211_stop() is modified to always bring down all the non-transmitting interfaces first and the transmitting interface last.

mac80211: save transmit power envelope element and power constraint

2021-09-27T11:20:42+00:00

This is to save the transmit power envelope element and power constraint in struct ieee80211_bss_conf for 6 GHz. Lower driver will use this info to calculate the power limit.

ieee80211: add power type definition for 6 GHz

2021-09-27T11:14:35+00:00

6 GHz regulatory domains introduces different modes for 6 GHz AP operations: Low Power Indoor (LPI), Standard Power (SP) and Very Low Power (VLP). 6 GHz STAs could be operated as either Regular or Subordinate clients. Define the flags for power type of AP and STATION mode. Signed-off-by: Wen Gong Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210924100052.32029-2-wgong@codeaurora.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: introduce individual TWT support in AP mode

2021-08-24T08:30:43+00:00

Introduce TWT action frames parsing support to mac80211. Currently just individual TWT agreement are support in AP mode. Whenever the AP receives a TWT action frame from an associated client, after performing sanity checks, it will notify the underlay driver with requested parameters in order to check if they are supported and if there is enough room for a new agreement. The driver is expected to set the agreement result and report it to mac80211. Drivers supporting this have two new callbacks: - add_twt_setup (mandatory) - twt_teardown_request (optional) mac80211 will send an action frame reply according to the result reported by the driver.

mac80211: add support for BSS color change

2021-08-17T09:58:45+00:00

The color change announcement is very similar to how CSA works where we have an IE that includes a counter. When the counter hits 0, the new color is applied via an updated beacon. This patch makes the CSA counter functionality reusable, rather than implementing it again. This also allows for future reuse incase support for other counter IEs gets added.

mac80211: Switch to a virtual time-based airtime scheduler

2021-06-23T16:12:00+00:00

This switches the airtime scheduler in mac80211 to use a virtual time-based scheduler instead of the round-robin scheduler used before. This has a couple of advantages: - No need to sync up the round-robin scheduler in firmware/hardware with the round-robin airtime scheduler. - If several stations are eligible for transmission we can schedule both of them; no need to hard-block the scheduling rotation until the head of the queue has used up its quantum. - The check of whether a station is eligible for transmission becomes simpler (in ieee80211_txq_may_transmit()). The drawback is that scheduling becomes slightly more expensive, as we need to maintain an rbtree of TXQs sorted by virtual time. This means that ieee80211_register_airtime() becomes O(logN) in the number of currently scheduled TXQs because it can change the order of the scheduled stations. We mitigate this overhead by only resorting when a station changes position in the tree, and hopefully N rarely grows too big (it's only TXQs currently backlogged, not all associated stations), so it shouldn't be too big of an issue. To prevent divisions in the fast path, we maintain both station sums and pre-computed reciprocals of the sums. This turns the fast-path operation into a multiplication, with divisions only happening as the number of active stations change (to re-compute the current sum of all active station weights). To prevent this re-computation of the reciprocal from happening too frequently, we use a time-based notion of station activity, instead of updating the weight every time a station gets scheduled or de-scheduled. As queues can oscillate between empty and occupied quite frequently, this can significantly cut down on the number of re-computations. It also has the added benefit of making the station airtime calculation independent on whether the queue happened to have drained at the time an airtime value was accounted.

mac80211: notify driver on mgd TX completion

2021-06-23T11:10:46+00:00

We have mgd_prepare_tx(), but sometimes drivers may want/need to take action when the exchange finishes, whether successfully or not. Add a notification to the driver on completion, i.e. call the new method mgd_complete_tx(). To unify the two scenarios, and to add more information, make both of them take a struct that has the duration (prepare only), subtype (both) and success (complete only).
