2013-03-06mac80211: init mesh timer for user authed STAsThomas Pedersen2-1/+5
There is a corner case which wasn't being covered: userspace may authenticate and allocate stations, but still leave the peering up to the kernel. Initialize the peering timer if the MPM is not in userspace, in a path which is taken by both the kernel and userspace when allocating stations.

2013-03-06mac80211: improve minstrels rate sorting by means of throughput & probabilityThomas Huehn3-36/+49
This patch improves the way minstrel sorts rates according to throughput and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate set in function minstrel_update_stats() which where used to determine the fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 1 FOR-loop. The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting is done via the new function minstrel_sort_best_tp_rates(). The most robust rate selection is aligned with minstrel_ht's approach. Once any success probability is above 95% the one with the highest throughput is chosen as most robust rate. If success probabilities of all rates are below 95%, the rate with the highest succ. prob. is elected as most robust one Acked-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huehn <thomas@net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211: add lowest rate into minstrel's random rate sampling tableThomas Huehn3-15/+10
While minstrel bootstraps and fills the success probabilities of each rate the lowest rate has typically a very high success probability (often 100% in our tests). Its statistics are never updated but considered to setup the mrr chain. In our tests we see that especially the 3rd mrr stage (which is that rate providing highest success probability) is filled with the lowest rate because its initial high sucess probability is never updated. By design the 4th mrr stage is filled with the lowest rate so often 3rd and 4th mrr stage are equal. This patch follows minstrels general approach of assuming as little as possible about rate dependencies. Consequently we include the lowest rate into the random sampling table to get balanced up-to-date statistics of all rates and therefore balanced decisions.

2013-03-06mac80211: extend minstrel's rate sampling to avoid unsampled ratesThomas Huehn2-4/+10
Minstrel's decision which rate should be directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage is limited to such rates faster than the current max throughput rate. All rates below the current max. throughput rate are indirectly sampled via the 2nd mrr stage. This approach leads to deprecated per rate statistics and therfore a deprecated mrr chain setup. This patch uses the sampling approach from minstrel_ht. A counter is added to sum all indirect sample attempts per rate. After 20 indirect sampling attempts the rate is directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage. Therefore more up-to-date statistics for all rates are maintained and used to setup the mrr chain.

2013-03-06mac80211: restrict peer's VHT capabilities to ownJohannes Berg1-1/+113
Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more than one device and the devices have different capabilities (often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise, due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: fix HT capability overrides for AP stationJohannes Berg1-23/+25
HT capabilites are asymmetric -- e.g. beamforming is both an RX and TX capability. If, for example, we support RX but not TX, the RX capability of the AP station is masked out (if it supports it). This works correctly if it's really the driver capability. If, on the other hand, the reason for not supporting TX BF is that it was removed by HT capability overrides then the wrong thing happens: the AP's TX capability will be removed rather than its RX capability, because the override function works on own capabilities, not remote ones, and doesn't take the asymmetry into account. To fix this make a copy of our own capabilities, apply the overrides to them (where needed) and then use that to set up the peer's capabilities. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roamingJohannes Berg6-11/+68
During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must be called to avoid packet races, although typically no packets would be flowing during that time. To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys are removed (by half a second). This means the counter will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition. Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for which this optimisation was done to start with, for them the key removal itself will be expensive because it has to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately, during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary. (*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to 1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to 0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes to 1 first because they're added in software; when a key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-03-06mac80211/minstrel_ht: improve accuracy of throughput metric at high data ratesFelix Fietkau1-10/+13
At high data rates the average frame transmission durations are small enough for rounding errors to matter, sometimes causing minstrel to use slightly lower transmit rates than necessary. To fix this, change the unit of the duration value to nanoseconds instead of microseconds, and reorder the multiplications/divisions when calculating the throughput metric so that they don't overflow or truncate prematurely. At 2-stream HT40 this makes TCP throughput a bit more stable. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could.

2013-02-28hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-28/+17
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2013-02-27mac80211: Fix crash due to un-canceled work-itemsBen Greear1-0/+11
Some mlme work structs are not cancelled on disassociation nor interface deletion, which leads to them running after the memory has been freed There is not a clean way to cancel these in the disassociation logic because they must be canceled outside of the ifmgd->mtx lock, so just cancel them in mgd_stop logic that tears down the station. This fixes the crashes we see in 3.7.9+. The crash stack trace itself isn't so helpful, but this warning gives more useful info: WARNING: at /home/greearb/git/linux-3.7.dev.y/lib/debugobjects.c:261 debug_print_object+0x7c/0x8d() ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: work_struct hint: ieee80211_sta_monitor_work+0x0/0x14 [mac80211] Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 14743, comm: iw Tainted: G C O 3.7.9+ #11 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81087ef8>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98 [<ffffffff81087fa4>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x43 [<ffffffff812a2608>] debug_print_object+0x7c/0x8d [<ffffffff812a2bca>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x95/0x1c3 [<ffffffff8114cc69>] slab_free_hook+0x70/0x79 [<ffffffff8114ea3e>] kfree+0x62/0xb7 [<ffffffff8149f465>] netdev_release+0x39/0x3e [<ffffffff8136ad67>] device_release+0x52/0x8a [<ffffffff812937db>] kobject_release+0x121/0x158 [<ffffffff81293612>] kobject_put+0x4c/0x50 [<ffffffff8148f0d7>] netdev_run_todo+0x25c/0x27e Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-27mac80211: stop timers before canceling work itemsBen Greear1-5/+9
Re-order the quiesce code so that timers are always stopped before work-items are flushed. This was not the problem I saw, but I think it may still be more correct. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-27mac80211: fix monitor mode channel reportingFelix Fietkau1-3/+9
When not using channel contexts with only monitor mode interfaces being active, report local->monitor_chandef to userspace. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-02-27mac80211: fix idle handling in monitor modeFelix Fietkau1-1/+1
When the driver does not want a monitor mode VIF, no channel context is allocated for it. This causes ieee80211_recalc_idle to put the hardware into idle mode if only a monitor mode is active, breaking injection. Fix this by checking local->monitors in addition to active channel contexts.

2013-02-27mac80211: Ensure off-channel frames don't get queuedSeth Forshee1-25/+31
Commit 6c17b77b67587b9f9e3070fb89fe98cef3187131 (mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scans) contains a bug that causes off-channel frames to get queued when they should be handed down to the driver for transmit. Prevent this from happening. Reported-by: Fabio Rossi <rossi.f@inwind.it> Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
