2016-04-06mac80211: add A-MSDU tx supportFelix Fietkau1-0/+3
Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only supported for debugging purposes. To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

2016-04-06mac80211: add fast-rx pathJohannes Berg1-0/+10
The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions on the driver are the following: * hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation) * hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption) * hardware/driver did de-duplication * hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation * AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode) * no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode) of which some are actually checked per packet: * de-duplication * PN checking * decryption and additionally packets must * not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device) * be data packets * not be fragmented * be unicast * have RFC 1042 header Additionally dynamically we assume: * no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed * station must be authorized * 4-addr format not enabled Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station "fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast RX path. After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of the data cached in the small fast_rx struct. This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need to be per-CPU still.)

2016-02-24mac80211: limit the A-MSDU Tx based on peer's capabilitiesEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+19
In VHT, the specification allows to limit the number of MSDUs in an A-MSDU in the Extended Capabilities IE. There is also a limitation on the byte size in the VHT IE. In HT, the only limitation is on the byte size. Parse the capabilities from the peer and make them available to the driver. In HT, there is another limitation when a BA agreement is active: the byte size can't be greater than 4095. This is not enforced here.

Add nl80211 and driver API to validate, add and delete traffic streams with appropriate settings. The API calls for userspace doing the action frame handshake with the peer, and then allows only to set up the parameters in the driver. To avoid setting up a session only to tear it down again, the validate API is provided, but the real usage later can still fail so userspace must be prepared for that.

2014-09-08mac80211: support DTPC IE (from Cisco Client eXtensions)Steinar H. Gunderson1-1/+2
Linux already supports 802.11h, where the access point can tell the client to reduce its transmission power. However, 802.11h is only defined for 5 GHz, where the need for this is much smaller than on 2.4 GHz. Cisco has their own solution, called DTPC (Dynamic Transmit Power Control). Cisco APs on a controller sometimes but not always send 802.11h; they always send DTPC, even on 2.4 GHz. This patch adds support for parsing and honoring the DTPC IE in addition to the 802.11h element (they do not always contain the same limits, so both must be honored); the format is not documented, but very simple. Tested (on top of wireless.git and on 3.16.1) against a Cisco Aironet 1142 joined to a Cisco 2504 WLC, by setting various transmit power levels for the given access points and observing the results. The Wireshark 802.11 dissector agrees with the interpretation of the element, except for negative numbers, which seem to never happen anyway. Signed-off-by: Steinar H.

2014-02-05mac80211: fix bufferable MMPDU RX handlingJohannes Berg1-0/+14
Action, disassoc and deauth frames are bufferable, and as such don't have the PM bit in the frame control field reserved which means we need to react to the bit when receiving in such a frame. Fix this by introducing a new helper ieee80211_is_bufferable_mmpdu() and using it for the RX path that currently ignores the PM bit in any non-data frames for doze->wake transitions, but listens to it in all frames for wake->doze transitions, both of which are wrong.
