mac80211: add TDLS connection timeout Adding a timeout for tearing down a TDLS connection that hasn't had ACKed traffic sent through it for a certain amount of time. Since we have no other monitoring facility to indicate the existance (or non-existance) of a peer, this patch will cause a peer to be considered as unavailable if for some X time at least some Y packets have all not been ACKed.

mac80211: implement SMPS for AP When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS, we send an action frame to each associated station and reconfigure the channel context / driver. Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

mac80211: mesh power save basics Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails".

mac80211: combine status/drop reporting The TX status reporting is done for both the nl80211 report as well as the socket option. The socket option is also reported when an skb is dropped to guarantee that the copy in the IDR tree is freed and status is reported to userspace. However, when a frame is dropped, no nl80211 status is reported. This can cause userspace to stop making progress while waiting for a status notification. Combine the nl80211 and socket option status reporting into a new function and call it in both places -- when the status comes in from the driver and when the skb is dropped. While at it, also simplify the code in the nl80211 portion a bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channel Redesign all the off-channel code, getting rid of the generic off-channel work concept, replacing it with a simple remain-on-channel list. This fixes a number of small issues with the ROC implementation: * offloaded remain-on-channel couldn't be queued, now we can queue it as well, if needed * in iwlwifi (the only user) offloaded ROC is mutually exclusive with scanning, use the new queue to handle that case -- I expect that it will later depend on a HW flag The bigger issue though is that there's a bad bug in the current implementation: if we get a mgmt TX request while HW roc is active, and this new request has a wait time, we actually schedule a software ROC instead since we can't guarantee the existing offloaded ROC will still be that long. To fix this, the queuing mechanism was needed. The queuing mechanism for offloaded ROC isn't yet optimal, ideally we should add API to have the HW extend the ROC if needed. We could add that later but for now use a software implementation. Overall, this unifies the behaviour between the offloaded and software-implemented case as much as possible.

mac80211: implement uAPSD Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not possible with all devices, so advertising it with the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that want it. Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame. For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided APIs allow releasing the right number of frames, but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data themselves.

Clear it for filtered frames to ensure that we never send it incorrectly. It'll be set again as necessary when we retransmit this frame.

mac80211: Tear down BA session on BAR tx failure As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck connections. According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite. However, assume the following frame exchange: AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed) AP -> STA, BAR (failed) The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush its reorder buffer. This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel 5100 Windows client. In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

mac80211: Fix a race on enabling power save. There is a race on sending a data frame before the tx completion of nullfunc frame for enabling power save. As the data quickly follows the nullfunc frame, the AP thinks that the station is out of power save and continues to send the frames. Whereas in the station, the nullfunc ack will be processed after the tx completion of data frame and mac80211 goes to powersave. Thus the power save state mismatch between the station and the AP causes some data loss and some applications fail because of that. This patch fixes this issue.

mac80211: fix TX status cookie in HW offload case When the off-channel TX is done with remain-on-channel offloaded to hardware, the reported cookie is wrong as in that case we shouldn't use the SKB as the cookie but need to instead use the corresponding r-o-c cookie (XOR'ed with 2 to prevent API mismatches). Fix this by keeping track of the hw_roc_skb pointer just for the status processing and use the correct cookie to report in this case. We can't use the hw_roc_skb pointer itself because it is NULL'ed when the frame is transmitted to prevent it being used twice. This fixes a bug where the P2P state machine in the supplicant gets stuck because it never gets a correct result for its transmitted frame.

mac80211: distinct between max rates and the number of rates the hw can report Some drivers cannot handle multiple retry rates specified by the rc algorithm but instead use their own retry table (for example rt2800). However, if such a device registers itself with a max_rates value of 1 the rc algorithm cannot make use of the extended information the device can provide about retried rates. On the other hand, if a device registers itself with a max_rates value > 1 the rc algorithm assumes that the device can handle multi rate retries. Fix this issue by introducing another hw parameter max_report_rates that can be set to a different value then max_rates to indicate if a device is capable of reporting more rates then specified in max_rates.

mac80211: Fix sta->last_tx_rate setting with no-op rate control devices The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed, as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is not known before the frame has actually been transmitted. This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other instances of code also rely on this information. Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for sta->last_tx_rate. Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

mac80211: optimize tx status processing When a cooked monitor interface is active, ieee80211_tx_status() generates a radiotap header for every single frame, even if it wasn't injected and thus won't be sent to a monitor interface. This patch reduces cpu utilization by moving the cooked monitor check a bit earlier, before it generates the rtap header. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

mac80211: Retry null data frame for power save. Even if the null data frame is not acked by the AP, mac80211 goes into power save. This might lead to loss of frames from the AP. Prevent this by restarting dynamic_ps_timer when ack is not received for null data frames.

mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames In an earlier commit, mac80211: disable software retry for now Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns out that we've never done that correctly, but due to some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've added a comment in the patch that explains the problem better and also points to possible solutions -- which I can't implement right now. I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames because it was broken. With the work of the previous patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't be modified, but still running it through the transmit handlers to populate the control information.

mac80211: enable spatial multiplexing powersave Enable spatial multiplexing in mac80211 by telling the driver what to do and, where necessary, sending action frames to the AP to update the requested SMPS mode. Also includes a trivial implementation for hwsim that just logs the requested mode. For now, the userspace interface is in debugfs only, and let you toggle the requested mode at any time.

mac80211: reduce reliance on netdev For bluetooth 3, we will most likely not have a netdev for a virtual interface (sdata), so prepare for that by reducing the reliance on having a netdev. This patch moves the name and address fields into the sdata struct and uses them from there all over. Some work is needed to keep them sync'ed, but that's not a lot of work and in slow paths anyway. In doing so, this also reduces the number of pointer dereferences in many places, because of things like sdata->dev->dev_addr becoming sdata->vif.addr.

mac80211: make station management completely depend on vif The station management currently uses the virtual interface, but you cannot add the same station to multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating with it in multiple ways. This restriction should be lifted so that in the future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3 with an access point that mac80211 is already associated to. We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users to provide the virtual interface and making the RX code aware that an address may match more than one station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this one isn't all that large and except for the RX and TX status paths changes has low complexity.

mac80211: Fix TX status reporting for injected data frames An earlier optimization on removing unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ("mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces ") ended up removing quite a bit more than just unnecessary traffic. It was not supposed to remove TX status reporting for injected frames, but ended up doing it by checking the injected flag in skb->cb only after that field had been cleared with memset.. Fix this by taking a local copy of the injected flag before skb->cb is cleared. This broke user space applications that depend on getting TX status notifications for injected data frames. For example, STA inactivity poll from hostapd did not work and ended up kicking out stations even if they were still present. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.
