mac80211: use HE 6 GHz band capability and pass it to the driver

2020-05-31T09:27:03+00:00

In order to handle 6 GHz AP side, take the HE 6 GHz band capability data and pass it to the driver (which needs it for A-MPDU spacing and A-MPDU length).

mac80211: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-05-27T08:02:04+00:00

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

mac80211: fix memory overlap due to variable length param

2020-04-29T14:21:45+00:00

As of now HE operation element in bss_conf includes variable length optional field followed by other HE variable. Though the optional field never be used, actually it is referring to next member of the bss_conf structure which is not correct. Fix it by declaring needed HE operation fields within bss_conf itself.

mac80211: add freq_offset to RX status

mac80211: agg-tx: add an option to defer ADDBA transmit

2020-04-24T10:33:43+00:00

Driver tells mac80211 to sends ADDBA with SSN (starting sequence number) from the head of the queue, while the transmission of all the frames in the queue may take a while, which causes the peer to time out. In order to fix this scenario, add an option to defer ADDBA transmit until queue is drained.

mac80211: Process multicast RX registration for Action frames

2020-04-24T10:33:41+00:00

Convert a user space registration for processing multicast Action frames (NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_FRAME with NL80211_ATTR_RECEIVE_MULTICAST) to a new enum ieee80211_filter_flags bit FIF_MCAST_ACTION so that drivers can update their RX filter parameters appropriately, if needed.

cfg80211: change internal management frame registration API

2020-04-24T10:33:40+00:00

Almost all drivers below cfg80211 get the API wrong (except for cfg80211) and are unable to cope with multiple registrations for the same frame type, which is valid due to the match filter. This seems to indicate the API is wrong, and we should maintain the full information in cfg80211 instead of the drivers. Change the API to no longer inform the driver about individual registrations and unregistrations, but rather every time about the entire state of the entire wiphy and single wdev, whenever it may have changed. This also simplifies the code in cfg80211 as it no longer has to track exactly what was unregistered and can free things immediately.
