wifi: mac80211: isolate driver from inactive links

2022-09-06T08:12:44+00:00

In order to let the driver select active links and properly make multi-link connections, as a first step isolate the driver from inactive links, and set the active links to be only the association link for client-side interfaces. For AP side nothing changes since APs always have to have all their links active. To simplify things, update the for_each_sta_active_link() API to include the appropriate vif pointer. This also implies not allocating a chanctx for an inactive link, which requires a few more changes. Since we now no longer try to program multiple links to the driver, remove the check in the MLME code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: change QoS settings API to take link into account

Take the link into account in the QoS settings (EDCA parameters) APIs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix station rate table updates on assoc

2021-02-01T14:07:09+00:00

If the driver uses .sta_add, station entries are only uploaded after the sta is in assoc state. Fix early station rate table updates by deferring them until the sta has been uploaded.

mac80211: don't warn about CW params when not using them

2019-07-20T19:40:32+00:00

ieee80211_set_wmm_default() normally sets up the initial CW min/max for each queue, except that it skips doing this if the driver doesn't support ->conf_tx. We still end up calling drv_conf_tx() in some cases (e.g., ieee80211_reconfig()), which also still won't do anything useful...except it complains here about the invalid CW parameters. Let's just skip the WARN if we weren't going to do anything useful with the parameters.

mac80211: store tx power value from user to station

2019-04-26T11:02:11+00:00

This patch introduce a new driver callback drv_sta_set_txpwr. This API will copy the transmit power value passed from user space and call the driver callback to set the tx power for the station.

mac80211: add offset_tsf driver op and use it for mesh

This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in programming absolute TSF. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: refactor monitor representation in sdata

mac80211: pass block ack session timeout to to driver

2016-01-14T10:13:17+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Sara Sharon Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
