mac80211: RX BA support for sta max_rx_aggregation_subframes

2017-05-20T12:27:03+00:00

commit 480dd46b9d6812e5fb7172c305ee0f1154c26eed upstream. The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful in cases of IOP. There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's) that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps). These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during association (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets). This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated during association. Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet. This patch will make the subframe limitation to be held by each station, instead of being held only by hw.

mac80211: pass block ack session timeout to to driver

2017-05-20T12:27:03+00:00

commit 50ea05efaf3bed7dd34bcc2635a8b3f53bd0ccc1 upstream. Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session. Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this parameter. Seeing that there are now too many arguments for the drv_ampdu_action() function, wrap them inside a structure.

mac80211: pass RX aggregation window size to driver

2017-05-20T12:27:02+00:00

commit fad471860c097844432c7cf5d3ae6a0a059c2bdc upstream. Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the window size when starting an RX aggregation session. To enable managing the reorder buffer in the driver or hardware the window size is needed.

mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation

commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 upstream. Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct tid_ampdu_rx to initialize the "removed" field (all others are initialized manually).

mac80211: fix RX A-MPDU session reorder timer deletion

2015-04-01T12:35:01+00:00

There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: reject aggregation sessions with non-HT peers

2015-03-30T08:33:19+00:00

If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies QoS), reject it. This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec. However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions it's better to reject them. Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it captures the error cases as well.

mac80211: fix offloaded BA session traffic after hw restart

2014-09-03T11:40:38+00:00

When starting an offloaded BA session it is unknown what starting sequence number should be used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except after hw restart. When hw restart is requested last_seq is (rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary BA window values resulting in dropped frames until sequence numbers caught up. Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed frame of a given BA session. This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k).
