2016-09-16mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IEEmmanuel Grumbach1-1/+1
In 46fa38e84b65 ("mac80211: allow software PS-Poll/U-APSD with AP_LINK_PS"), Johannes allowed to use mac80211's code for handling stations that go to PS or send PS-Poll / uAPSD trigger frames for devices that enable RSS. This means that mac80211 doesn't look at frames anymore but rather relies on a notification that will come from the device when a PS transition occurs or when a PS-Poll / trigger frame is detected by the device. iwlwifi will need this capability but still needs mac80211 to take care of the TIM IE. Today, if a driver sets AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will not update the TIM IE. Change mac80211 to check existence of the set_tim driver callback rather than using AP_LINK_PS to decide if the driver handles the TIM IE internally or not.

2016-09-15mac80211: allow driver to handle packet-loss mechanismRajkumar Manoharan2-0/+7
Based on consecutive msdu failures, mac80211 triggers CQM packet-loss mechanism. Drivers like ath10k that have its own connection monitoring algorithm, offloaded to firmware for triggering station kickout. In case of station kickout, driver will report low ack status by mac80211 API (ieee80211_report_low_ack). This flag will enable the driver to completely rely on firmware events for station kickout and bypass mac80211 packet loss mechanism.

2016-09-15mac80211: fix scan completed tracingJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Passing the 'info' pointer where a 'info->aborted' is expected will always lead to tracing to erroneously record that the scan was aborted, fix that by passing the correct info->aborted.

2016-09-15mac80211: fix possible out-of-bounds accessJohannes Berg1-4/+8
In the unlikely situation that the supplicant has negotiated admission for the background AC (which it has no reason to as it's not supposed to be requiring admission control to start with, and we'd ignore such a requirement anyway), the loop here may terminate with non_acm_ac == 4, which leads to an array overrun.

2016-09-13mac80211: simplify TDLS RA lookupJohannes Berg1-11/+4
smatch pointed out that the second check of "tdls_auth" was pointless since if it was true, we returned from the function already. We can further simplify the code by moving the first check (if it's a TDLS peer at all) into the outer if, to only handle that inside. This simplifies the control flow here.

2016-09-13mac80211: Re-structure aqm debugfs output and keep CoDel stats per txqToke Høiland-Jørgensen5-129/+117
Currently the 'aqm' stats in mac80211 only keeps overlimit drop stats, not CoDel stats. This moves the CoDel stats into the txqi structure to keep them per txq in order to show them in debugfs. In addition, the aqm debugfs output is restructured by splitting it up into three files: One global per phy, one per netdev and one per station, in the appropriate directories. The files are all called aqm, and are only created if the driver supports the wake_tx_queue op (rather than emitting an error on open as previously).

Use the existing device timestamp from the RX status information to add support for the new radiotap timestamp field. Currently only 32-bit counters are supported, but we also add the radiotap mactime where applicable.

2016-09-12mac80211: RX BA support for sta max_rx_aggregation_subframesMaxim Altshul2-2/+8
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.

However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames" warning on module reload.

2016-07-06nl80211: support beacon report scanningAvraham Stern1-2/+7
Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received (both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the request mode is table, this information is optional. In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel dwell time for the measurement. In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time to scan results information. Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

The current implementation of handling ADDBA Request while a session is already active with the peer is wrong - in case the peer is using the existing session's dialog token this should be treated as update to the session, which can update the timeout value.

2016-06-30mac80211: use common cleanup for user/!user_mpmBob Copeland2-23/+13
We've accumulated a couple of different fixes now to mesh_sta_cleanup() due to the different paths that user_mpm and !user_mpm cases take -- one fix to flush nexthop paths and one to fix the counting. The only caller of mesh_plink_deactivate() is mesh_sta_cleanup(), so we can push the user_mpm checks down into there in order to share more code. In doing so, we can remove an extra call to mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop() and the (unnecessary) call to mesh_accept_plinks_update(). This will also ensure the powersaving state code gets called in the user_mpm case. The only cleanup tasks we need to avoid when MPM is in user-space are sending the peering frames and stopping the plink timer, so wrap those in the appropriate check.

2016-06-28mac80211: Fix mesh estab_plinks counting in STA removal caseJouni Malinen1-2/+5
If a user space program (e.g., wpa_supplicant) deletes a STA entry that is currently in NL80211_PLINK_ESTAB state, the number of established plinks counter was not decremented and this could result in rejecting new plink establishment before really hitting the real maximum plink limit. For !user_mpm case, this decrementation is handled by mesh_plink_deactive(). Fix this by decrementing estab_plinks on STA deletion (mesh_sta_cleanup() gets called from there) so that the counter has a correct value and the Beacon frame advertisement in Mesh Configuration element shows the proper value for capability to accept additional peers.

There is no other limit other than a global packet count limit when using software queuing. This means a single flow queue can grow insanely long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion algorithms which requires a little more sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere headdrop on limit overflow. Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs) CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP convergence and stability when combined with wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

mac80211's software queues were designed to work very closely with device tx queues. They are required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation easily and efficiently. Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness. This change doesn't translate directly to immediate and significant gains. End result depends on driver's induced latency. Best results can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

2016-06-09mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuingMichal Kazior6-45/+66
Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11 aggregation requirements and hand out packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are destined to the same tid. This does more bad than good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave on an ethernet interface. Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue congestion control whenever a global AC limit was hit. This meant in practice a single station or tid queue could starve others rather easily. This could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could just end up with poor aggregation performance. Increasing the AC limit would increase induced latency which is also bad. Disabling qdiscs by default and performing taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion control on the other hand makes it possible for tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while preventing stations starving each other. This increases aggregation opportunities and should allow software queuing based drivers achieve better performance by utilizing airtime more efficiently with big aggregates.

The header field is defined as u8[] but also accessed as struct ieee80211_hdr. Enforce an alignment of 2 to prevent unnecessary unaligned accesses, which can be very harmful for performance on many platforms.

2016-05-31mac80211: mesh: flush mesh paths unconditionallyBob Copeland1-0/+4
Currently, the mesh paths associated with a nexthop station are cleaned up in the following code path: __sta_info_destroy_part1 synchronize_net() __sta_info_destroy_part2 -> cleanup_single_sta -> mesh_sta_cleanup -> mesh_plink_deactivate -> mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop However, there are a couple of problems here: 1) the paths aren't flushed at all if the MPM is running in userspace (e.g. when using wpa_supplicant or authsae) 2) there is no synchronize_rcu between removing the path and readers accessing the nexthop, which means the following race is possible: CPU0 CPU1 ~~~~ ~~~~ sta_info_destroy_part1() synchronize_net() rcu_read_lock() mesh_nexthop_resolve() mpath = mesh_path_lookup() [...] -> mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop() sta = rcu_dereference( mpath->next_hop) kfree(sta) access sta <-- CRASH Fix both of these by unconditionally flushing paths before destroying the sta, and by adding a synchronize_net() after path flush to ensure no active readers can still dereference the sta.

2016-05-12mac80211: allow software PS-Poll/U-APSD with AP_LINK_PSJohannes Berg1-26/+44
When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order, and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now. In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used. To allow this, export two functions: ieee80211_sta_uapsd_trigger() and ieee80211_sta_pspoll().
