2013-10-28{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement mesh channel switch userspace APIChun-Yeow Yeoh1-1/+4
Implement the required procedures for mesh channel switching as defined in the IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 and also handle the CSA and MCSP elements as followed: * Add the function for updating the beacon and probe response frames with CSA and MCSP elements during the period of switching to the new channel. Both CSA and MCSP elements must be included in beacon and probe response frames until the intended channel switch time. * The ifmsh->csa_settings is set to NULL and the CSA and MCSP elements will then be removed from the beacon or probe response frames once the new channel is switched to.

2013-10-01mac80211: support reporting A-MSDU subframes individuallyMichal Kazior1-1/+2
Some devices may not be able to report A-MSDUs in single buffers. Drivers for such devices were forced to re-assemble A-MSDUs which would then be eventually disassembled by mac80211. This could lead to CPU cache thrashing and poor performance. Since A-MSDU has a single sequence number all subframes share it. This was in conflict with retransmission/duplication recovery (IEEE802.11-2012: 9.3.2.10). Patch introduces a new flag that is meant to be set for all individually reported A-MSDU subframes except the last one. This ensures the last_seq_ctrl is updated after the last subframe is processed. If an A-MSDU is actually a duplicate transmission all reported subframes will be properly discarded.

2013-09-26mac80211: drop spoofed packets in ad-hoc modeFelix Fietkau1-0/+3
If an Ad-Hoc node receives packets with the Cell ID or its own MAC address as source address, it hits a WARN_ON in sta_info_insert_check() With many packets, this can massively spam the logs. One way that this can easily happen is through having Cisco APs in the area with rouge AP detection and countermeasures enabled. Such Cisco APs will regularly send fake beacons, disassoc and deauth packets that trigger these warnings. To fix this issue, drop such spoofed packets early in the rx path.

2013-09-26mac80211: add support for CSA in IBSS modeSimon Wunderlich1-10/+26
This function adds the channel switch announcement implementation for the IBSS code. It is triggered by userspace (mac80211/cfg) or by external channel switch announcement, which have to be adopted. Both CSAs in beacons and action frames are supported. As for AP mode, the channel switch is applied after some time. However in IBSS mode, the channel switch IEs are generated in the kernel.

2013-08-16mac80211: perform power save processing before decryptionJohan Almbladh1-202/+202
This patch decouples the power save processing from the frame decryption by running the decrypt rx handler after sta_process. In the case where the decryption failed for some reason, the stack used to not process the PM and MOREDATA bits for that frame. The stack now always performs power save processing regardless of the decryption result. That means that encrypted data frames and NULLFUNC frames are now handled in the same way regarding power save processing, making the stack more robust.

The various components accessing the bitrates table must use consider the used channel bandwidth to select only available rates or calculate the bitrate correctly. There are some rates in reduced bandwidth modes which can't be represented as multiples of 500kbps, like 2.25 MBit/s in 5 MHz mode. The standard suggests to round up to the next multiple of 500kbps, just do that in mac80211 as well.

2013-07-16mac80211: fix duplicate retransmission detectionJohannes Berg1-2/+8
The duplicate retransmission detection code in mac80211 erroneously attempts to do the check for every frame, even frames that don't have a sequence control field or that don't use it (QoS-Null frames.) This is problematic because it causes the code to access data beyond the end of the SKB and depending on the data there will drop packets erroneously. Correct the code to not do duplicate detection for such frames. I found this error while testing AP powersave, it lead to retransmitted PS-Poll frames being dropped entirely as the data beyond the end of the SKB was always zero.

Do some cleanups in the cfg80211 SME APIs, which are only used by mac80211. Most of these functions get a frame passed, and there isn't really any reason to export multiple functions as cfg80211 can check the frame type instead, do that. Additionally, the API functions have confusing names like cfg80211_send_...() which was meant to indicate that it sends an event to userspace, but gets a bit confusing when there's both TX and RX and they're not all clearly labeled.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-13/+8
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

This patch fixes the problem which was discussed in "mac80211: Fix PN corruption in case of multiple virtual interface" [1]. Amit Shakya reported a serious issue with my patch: mac80211: serialize rx path workers" [2]: In case, ieee80211_rx_handlers processing is going on for skbs received on one vif and at the same time, rx aggregation reorder timer expires on another vif then sta_rx_agg_reorder_timer_expired is invoked and it will push skbs into the single queue (local->rx_skb_queue). ieee80211_rx_handlers in the while loop assumes that the skbs are for the same sdata and sta. This assumption doesn't hold good in this scenario and the PN gets corrupted by PN received in other vif's skb, causing traffic to stop due to PN mismatch."

2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch1-0/+7
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

2012-12-06mac80211: don't drop mesh peering frames from unknown STAMarco Porsch1-1/+2
Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station entry were being dropped. Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED) are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later. The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each other's beacons which created the STA entry.
