* mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() helper functionFelix Fietkau2013-10-281-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or ieee80211_nullfunc_get. This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but need rate control information to be prepared first.

* mac80211: implement STA CSA for drivers using channel contextsArik Nemtsov2013-10-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Limit the current implementation to a single channel context used by a single vif, thereby avoiding multi-vif/channel complexities. Reuse the main function from AP CSA code, but move a portion out in order to fit the STA scenario. Add a new mac80211 HW flag so we don't break devices that don't support channel switch with channel-contexts. The new behavior will be opt-in.

* mac80211: support reporting A-MSDU subframes individuallyMichal Kazior2013-10-011-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices may not be able to report A-MSDUs in single buffers. Drivers for such devices were forced to re-assemble A-MSDUs which would then be eventually disassembled by mac80211. This could lead to CPU cache thrashing and poor performance. Since A-MSDU has a single sequence number all subframes share it. This was in conflict with retransmission/duplication recovery (IEEE802.11-2012: 9.3.2.10). Patch introduces a new flag that is meant to be set for all individually reported A-MSDU subframes except the last one. This ensures the last_seq_ctrl is updated after the last subframe is processed. If an A-MSDU is actually a duplicate transmission all reported subframes will be properly discarded.

* mac80211: add ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl()Johannes Berg2013-09-261-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If it is needed to disconnect multiple virtual interfaces after (WoWLAN-) suspend, the most obvious approach would be to iterate all interfaces by calling ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and then call ieee80211_resume_disconnect() for each one. This is what the iwlmvm driver does. Unfortunately, this causes a locking dependency from mac80211's iflist_mtx to the key_mtx. This is problematic as the former is intentionally never held while calling any driver operation to allow drivers to iterate with their own locks held. The key_mtx is held while installing a key into the driver though, so this new lock dependency means drivers implementing the logic above can no longer hold their own lock while iterating. To fix this, add a new ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_rtnl() function that iterates while the RTNL is already held. This is true during suspend/resume, so that then the locking dependency isn't introduced. While at it, also refactor the various interface iterators and keep only a single implementation called by the various cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | * mac80211: add a flag to indicate CCK support for HT clientsFelix Fietkau2013-08-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | brcm80211 cannot handle sending frames with CCK rates as part of an A-MPDU session.

| * | mac80211: add APIs to allow keeping connections after WoWLANJohannes Berg2013-08-161-0/+83

We already have API (ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify) to tell wpa_supplicant about the new replay counter if GTK rekeying was done by the device while the host was asleep, but that's not sufficient. If GTK rekeying wasn't done, we need to tell the host about sequence counters for the GTK (and PTK regardless of rekeying) that was used while asleep, add ieee80211_set_key_rx_seq() for that. If GTK rekeying was done, then we need to be able to disable the old keys (with ieee80211_remove_key()) and allocate the new GTK key(s) in mac80211 (with ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add()). If protocol offload (e.g. ARP) is implemented, then also the TX sequence counter for the PTK must be updated, using the new ieee80211_set_key_tx_seq() function.

* mac80211: improve the rate control APIFelix Fietkau2013-04-221-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of VHT spatial streams (NSS) is found in: - s8 ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] (tx - filled by rate control) - u8 ieee80211_rx_status.vht_nss (rx - filled by driver) Tx discriminates valid rates indexes with the sign bit and encodes NSS starting from 0 to 7 (note this matches some hw encodings e.g IWLMVM). Rx does not have the same constraints, and encodes NSS starting from 1 to 8 (note this matches what wireshark expects in the radiotap header). To handle ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() assume their nss parameter and return value respectively runs from 0 to 7. ATM, there are only 2 users of these: cfg.c:sta_set_rate_info_t() and iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:iwl_mvm_hwrate_to_tx_control(), but both assume nss runs from 1 to 8. This patch fixes this inconsistency by making ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() handle an nss running from 1 to 8.

For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The driver updates aren't really correct though.

| | | | | | | | | | With VHT, a station can change the number of spatial streams it can receive on the fly, not unlike spatial multiplexing in HT. Prepare for that by tracking the maximum number of spatial streams it can receive when the connection is established. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg2013-02-151-1/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)
