2011-09-30mac80211: optimise station flagsGravatar Johannes Berg 1-1/+1
The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been something that I wanted to get rid of, this finally does the conversion to atomic bitops. The conversion itself is straight-forward in most places, a few things needed to change a bit since we can no longer use multiple bits at the same time. On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code size reduction: text data bss dec hex 427861 23648 1008 452517 6e7a5 before 425383 23648 976 450007 6ddd7 after Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

Add tx_conf array to save the current tx queues configuration, and reconfig it on resume (ieee80211_reconfig). On resume, the driver is being reconfigured.

2011-07-15mac80211: be more careful in suspend/resumeGravatar Johannes Berg 1-26/+28
When suspending with all netdevs down, the device is stopped but we still call a number of driver callbacks that the driver might not expect. The same happens during resume, we might call a few callbacks without starting the driver. Fix this by checking open_count around more things and exiting quickly if it is 0. Also, while at this I noticed that the coverage class isn't reprogrammed after resume, so add that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-07-13mac80211: allow driver to disconnect after resumeGravatar Johannes Berg 1-0/+27
In WoWLAN, devices may use crypto keys for TX/RX and could also implement GTK rekeying. If the driver isn't able to retrieve replay counters and similar information from the device upon resume, or if the device isn't responsive due to platform issues, it isn't safe to keep the connection up as GTK rekey messages from during the sleep time could be replayed against it. The only protection against that is disconnecting from the AP. Modifying mac80211 to do that while it is resuming would be very complex and invasive in the case that the driver requires a reconfig, so do it after it has resumed completely. In that case, however, packets might be replayed since it can then only happen after TX/RX are up again, so mark keys for interfaces that need to disconnect as "tainted" and drop all packets that are sent or received with those keys.

The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations.

2010-11-17mac80211: fix powersaving clients racesGravatar Johannes Berg 1-2/+12
The code to handle powersaving stations has a race: when the powersave flag is lifted from a station, we could transmit a packet that is being processed for TX at the same time right away, even if there are other frames queued for it. This would cause frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only under the appropriate lock that blocks TX. Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a station while frames for it are on the HW queue is never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag for this appropriately. Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

2010-11-16mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current APGravatar Juuso Oikarinen 1-5/+18
Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.

Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back from them. So while I was adding the state field I figured I could use it to fix it. The problem, as I understand it, is that when we go offchannel while the driver has a queue stopped, the driver will likely start draining the queue and then enable it while offchannel. This in turn will enable the interface queue, and that leads to transmitting data frames on the wrong channel. Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status per interface, and not enabling the interface queues on interfaces that are offchannel when the driver enables a queue.

Ever since commit e1b3ec1a2a336c328c336cfa5485a5f0484cc90d Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Date: Mon Mar 29 12:18:34 2010 +0200 mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not. However, this is only relevant for station mode, since only then will any device send nullfunc frames and need to know whether they should be QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are (currently) no frames the device is supposed to send. When you now consider virtual interfaces, it becomes apparent that the current mechanism is inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has to be on a per-interface scale. Due to the above considerations, we can change the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

The mlme code is also using a WLAN_STA_DISASSOC flag that has the same meaning as WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA, so use that. While doing so, combine places where we loop over stations twice, and optimise away some of the loops by checking if the hardware supports aggregation at all first. Also fix a more theoretical race condition: right now we could resume, set up an aggregation session, and right after tear it down again due to the code that is needed for hardware reconfiguration here. Also mark add a comment to that code marking it as a workaround. Finally, remove a pointless aggregation disabling loop when an interface is stopped, directly after that we remove all stations from it which will also disable all aggregation sessions that may still be active, and does so in a race-free way unlike the current loop that doesn't block new sessions.

2010-05-07mac80211: fix BSS info reconfigurationGravatar Johannes Berg 1-5/+20
When reconfiguring an interface due to a previous hardware restart, mac80211 will currently include the new IBSS flag on non-IBSS interfaces which may confuse drivers. Instead of doing the ~0 trick, simply spell out which things are going to be reconfigured. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-04-08mac80211: enhance tracingGravatar Johannes Berg 1-0/+4
Enhance tracing by adding tracing for a variety of callbacks that the drivers call, and also for internal calls (currently limited to queue status). This can aid debugging what is going on in mac80211 in interaction with drivers, since we can now see what drivers call and not just what mac80211 calls in the driver.

2010-03-31mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoSGravatar Stanislaw Gruszka 1-0/+5
Add interface to disable/enable QoS (aka WMM or WME). Currently drivers enable it explicitly when ->conf_tx method is called, and newer disable. Disabling is needed for some APs, which do not support QoS, such we should send QoS frames to them. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-03-30mac80211: move netdev queue enabling to correct spotGravatar Johannes Berg 1-6/+6
"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must only enable the netdev queues once all the pending packets have been processed and sent off to the device. In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when aggregation is being enabled.

2010-02-08mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hwGravatar Wey-Yi Guy 1-0/+8
When there is a need to restart/reconfig hw, tear down all the aggregation queues and let the mac80211 and driver get in-sync to have the opportunity to re-establish the aggregation queues again. Need to wait until driver re-establish all the station information before tear down the aggregation queues, driver(at least iwlwifi driver) will reject the stop aggregation queue request if station is not ready. But also need to make sure the aggregation queues are tear down before waking up the queues, so mac80211 will not sending frames with aggregation bit set.

2010-02-08mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleepGravatar Johannes Berg 1-9/+7
Many drivers would like to sleep during station addition and removal, and currently have a high complexity there from not being able to. This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to fail. The reason we didn't do this previously is that the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep. This patch will keep the station allocation in that path, but moves adding the station to the driver out of line. Since the addition can now fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver rejected -- in that case we still talk to the station but never tell the driver about it in the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be a driver that has a low limit on the number of stations and that cannot talk to any stations that are not known to it, we need to do come up with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs, maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

2010-01-12mac80211: add U-APSD client supportGravatar Kalle Valo 1-0/+2
Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it possible to save even more power. Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.
