wifi: mac80211: optionally pass chandef to ieee80211_sta_cur_vht_bw()

2024-06-26T08:21:54+00:00

We'll need this as well for channel switching cases, so add the ability now to pass the chandef to calculate for. Reviewed-by: Miriam Rachel Korenblit Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240612143418.f70e05d9f306.Ifa0ce267de4f0ef3c21d063fb0cbf50e84d7d6ff@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: optionally pass chandef to ieee80211_sta_cap_rx_bw()

2024-06-26T08:21:52+00:00

We'll need this function to take a new chandef in (some) channel switching cases, so prepare for that by allowing that to be passed and using it if so. Clean up the code a little bit while at it.

wifi: mac80211: track capability/opmode NSS separately

2024-03-04T13:25:27+00:00

We're currently tracking rx_nss for each station, and that is meant to be initialized to the capability NSS and later reduced by the operating mode notification NSS. However, we're mixing up capabilities and operating mode NSS in the same variable. This forces us to recalculate the NSS capability on operating mode notification RX, which is a bit strange; due to the previous fix I had to never keep rx_nss as zero, it also means that the capa is never taken into account properly. Fix all this by storing the capability value, that can be recalculated unconditionally whenever needed, and storing the operating mode notification NSS separately, taking it into account when assigning the final rx_nss value.

wifi: mac80211: introduce 'channel request'

2024-02-08T12:07:34+00:00

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211 chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected. Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it (the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this, and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel may need to be split over two channel contexts where they differ by the AP being used. As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request ('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code, so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request in order to handle the EHT case described above.

wifi: mac80211: work around Cisco AP 9115 VHT MPDU length

2023-09-25T06:41:27+00:00

Cisco AP module 9115 with FW 17.3 has a bug and sends a too large maximum MPDU length in the association response (indicating 12k) that it cannot actually process. Work around that by taking the minimum between what's in the association response and the BSS elements (from beacon or probe response).

wifi: mac80211: Allow NSS change only up to capability

2023-02-14T11:35:02+00:00

Stations can update bandwidth/NSS change in VHT action frame with action type Operating Mode Notification. (IEEE Std 802.11-2020 - 9.4.1.53 Operating Mode field) For Operating Mode Notification, an RX NSS change to a value greater than AP's maximum NSS should not be allowed. During fuzz testing, by forcefully sending VHT Op. mode notif. frames from STA with random rx_nss values, it is found that AP accepts rx_nss values greater that APs maximum NSS instead of discarding such NSS change. Hence allow NSS change only up to maximum NSS that is negotiated and capped to AP's capability during association.

wifi: mac80211: keep A-MSDU data in sta and per-link

2022-09-06T08:17:08+00:00

The A-MSDU data needs to be stored per-link and aggregated into a single value for the station. Add a new struct ieee_80211_sta_aggregates in order to store this data and a new function ieee80211_sta_recalc_aggregates to update the current data for the STA. Note that in the non MLO case the pointer in ieee80211_sta will directly reference the data in deflink.agg, which means that recalculation may be skipped in that case.

Recalculate min channel context for the given or all interface links, depending on the caller. For a station state change, we need to recalculate all of them since we don't know which link (or multiple) it might be on. Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: RCU-ify link/link_conf pointers

2022-07-15T09:43:14+00:00

Since links can be added and removed dynamically, we need to somehow protect the sdata->link[] and vif->link_conf[] array pointers from disappearing when accessing them without locks. RCU-ify the pointers to achieve this, which requires quite a bit of rework. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: RCU-ify link STA pointers

2022-06-20T10:57:08+00:00

We need to be able to access these in a race-free way under traffic while adding/removing them, so RCU-ify the pointers. This requires passing a link_sta to a lot of functions so we don't have to do the RCU handling everywhere. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
