* mac80211: correct fragmentation threshold checkJohannes Berg2009-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fragmentation threshold is defined to be including the FCS, and the code that sets the TX_FRAGMENTED flag correctly accounts for those four bytes. The code that verifies this doesn't though, which could lead to spurious warnings and frames being dropped although everything is ok. Correct the code by accounting for the FCS.

* mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifiJohannes Berg2009-03-281-19/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle starting and stopping the queues in mac80211. To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the mac80211 counterparts.

* mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stopJohannes Berg2009-03-281-26/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation (which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb queue once aggregation is turned on successfully. We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in a follow-up patch. This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being established, but only after it has been fully established.

* mac80211: add skb length sanity checkingJohannes Berg2009-03-281-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified, which would cause retransmit attempts with completely bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not having enough headroom in those. This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop the skb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Internally, mac80211 requires the skb's queue mapping to be set to the AC queue, not the virtual A-MPDU queue. This is not done correctly currently, this patch moves the code down to directly before the driver is invoked and adds a comment that it will be moved into the driver later.

* mac80211: rewrite fragmentationJohannes Berg2009-03-281-171/+151Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated; make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs to walk the skb->next list. This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code, which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reviewed-by: Luis R.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe requests during software scan.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

* | mac80211: fix aggregation for hardware with ampdu queuesJohannes Berg2009-02-271-5/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware with AMPDU queues currently has broken aggregation. This patch fixes it by making all A-MPDUs go over the regular AC queues, but keeping track of the hardware queues in mac80211. As a first rough version, it actually stops the AC queue for extended periods of time, which can be removed by adding buffering internal to mac80211, but is currently not a huge problem because people rarely use multiple TIDs that are in the same AC (and iwlwifi currently doesn't operate as AP). This is a short-term fix, my current medium-term plan, which I hope to execute soon as well, but am not sure can finish before .30, looks like this: 1) rework the internal queuing layer in mac80211 that we use for fragments if the driver stopped queue in the middle of a fragmented frame to be able to queue more frames at once (rather than just a single frame with its fragments) 2) instead of stopping the entire AC queue, queue up the frames in a per-station/per-TID queue during aggregation session initiation, when the session has come up take all those frames and put them onto the queue from 1) 3) push the ampdu queue layer abstraction this patch introduces in mac80211 into the driver, and remove the virtual queue stuff from mac80211 again This plan will probably also affect ath9k in that mac80211 queues the frames instead of passing them down, even when there are no ampdu queues.

We should not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this flag for monitor interfaces. Acked-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This patch fixes ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() not to drop management frames if MFP is disabled. If MFP is enabled, Action frames will be dropped before keys are set per IEEE 802.11w/D7.0. Other robust management frames (i.e., Deauthentication and Disassociation frames) are allowed unprotected prior to key configuration.

* mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-191-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

Because of this, a lot of code in the configuration handlers can go away. To make this patch easier to verify I have also removed a number of wiphy_priv() calls in favour of getting the sdata first and then the local pointer from that.

* mac80211: remove debug frame dumpingJohannes Berg2008-09-151-42/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | You can just pull up a monitor interface to get much more detailed information, or, when debugging a driver, insert dump code into the driver (which usually you will have to do anyway to dump the driver-specific information). Hence this option is useless. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: remove beacon countersJohannes Berg2008-09-151-9/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | The beacon counters mac80211 keeps are only used for debugfs, unfortunately, they are incorrect for many hardware designs, namely any design that has a beacon template. Hence, remove the counters so we don't create the impression they are usable. This also allows removing the beacon MESH #ifdef again.

* mac80211: fix virtual interfaces vs. injectionJohannes Berg2008-09-151-4/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, virtual interface pointers passed to drivers might be from monitor interfaces and as such completely uninitialised because we do not tell the driver about monitor interfaces when those are created. Instead of passing them, we should therefore indicate to the driver that there is no information; do that by passing a NULL value and adjust drivers to cope with it. As a result, some mac80211 API functions also need to cope with a NULL vif pointer so drivers can still call them unconditionally. Also, when injecting frames we really don't want to pass NULL all the time, if we know we are the source address of a frame and have a local interface for that address, we can to use that interface. This also helps with processing the frame correctly for that interface which will help the 802.11w implementation. It's not entirely correct for VLANs or WDS interfaces because there the MAC address isn't unique, but it's already a lot better than what we do now. Finally, when injecting without a matching local interface, don't assign sequence numbers at all. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: pass AP vif pointer for VLANsJohannes Berg2008-09-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | | We cannot pass a VLAN vif pointer to the driver since those are entirely virtual and we never tell the driver. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* mac80211: move txrate_idx into RC algorithmsJohannes Berg2008-09-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The sta_info->txrate_idx member isn't used by all RC algorithms in the way it was intended to be used, move it into those that require it (only PID) and keep track in the core code of which rate was last used for reporting to userspace and the mesh MLME.

* mac80211: share STA information with driverJohannes Berg2008-09-151-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes mac80211 to share some more data about stations with drivers. Should help iwlwifi and ath9k when they get around to updating, and might also help with implementing rate control algorithms without internals.
