* mac80211: use common cleanup for user/!user_mpmBob Copeland2016-06-301-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've accumulated a couple of different fixes now to mesh_sta_cleanup() due to the different paths that user_mpm and !user_mpm cases take -- one fix to flush nexthop paths and one to fix the counting. The only caller of mesh_plink_deactivate() is mesh_sta_cleanup(), so we can push the user_mpm checks down into there in order to share more code. In doing so, we can remove an extra call to mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop() and the (unnecessary) call to mesh_accept_plinks_update(). This will also ensure the powersaving state code gets called in the user_mpm case. The only cleanup tasks we need to avoid when MPM is in user-space are sending the peering frames and stopping the plink timer, so wrap those in the appropriate check.

* cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg2016-04-121-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* mac80211: mesh: flush paths outside of plink lockBob Copeland2016-04-051-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lockdep warned of a lock dependency between the mesh_plink lock and the internal lock for the rhashtable. The problem is that the rhashtable code uses a spin lock with softirqs enabled, while mesh_plink_timer executes a walk (to flush paths on a state change) inside a softirq with the plink lock held. This leads to the following deadlock if the timer fires while rht lock is held on this CPU, and plink lock is held on another CPU: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&ht->lock)->rlock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&sta->mesh->plink_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&ht->lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&sta->mesh->plink_lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** Fix by waiting until we drop the plink lock to flush paths.

* mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structsJohannes Berg2015-10-211-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated (TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of the struct sta_info. Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it obvious where they belong. This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

* mac80211: select an AID when creating new mesh STAsBob Copeland2015-07-171-6/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using peer link id for AID, generate a new AID when creating mesh STAs in the kernel peering manager. This enables smaller TIM elements and more closely follows the standard, and it also enables mesh to work on drivers that require a valid AID when the STA is inserted (ath10k firmware has this requirement, for example). In the case of userspace-managed stations, we use the AID from NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: mesh: separate plid and aid conceptsBob Copeland2015-07-171-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to 802.11-2012 13.3.1, a mesh STA should assign an AID upon receipt of a mesh peering open frame rather than using the link id of the peer. Using the peer link id has two potential issues: it may not be unique among the peers, and by its nature it is random, so the TIM may not compress well. In preparation for allocating it properly, use sta->sta.aid, but keep the existing behavior of using the plid in the aid we send.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although mesh_rx_plink_frame() already checks that frames have enough bytes for the action code plus another two bytes for capability/reason code, it doesn't take into account that confirm frames also have an additional two-byte aid.

This is very noticeable with slow beacons (e.g. beacon intervals of 1s) and manifested for us as stations using minstrel when minstrel_ht should be used.

* Revert "mac80211: keep sending peer candidate events while in listen state"Bob Copeland2015-01-231-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 2ae70efcea7a695a62bb47170d3fb16674b8dbea. The new peer events that are generated by the change are causing problems with wpa_supplicant in userspace: wpa_s tries to restart SAE authentication with the peer when receiving the event, even though authentication may be in progress already, and it gets very confused. Revert back to the original operating mode, which is to only get events when there is no corresponding station entry.

* mac80211: keep sending peer candidate events while in listen stateNishikawa, Kenzoh2014-12-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of sending peer candidate events just once, send them as long as the peer remains in the LISTEN state in the peering state machine, when userspace is implementing the peering manager. Userspace may silence the events from a peer by progressing the state machine or by setting the link state to BLOCKED. Fixes the problem that a mesh peering process won't be fired again after the previous first peering trial fails due to like air propagation error if the peering is managed by user space such as wpa_supplicant. This patch works with another patch for wpa_supplicant described here which fires a peering process again triggered by the notice from kernel. http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2014-November/031235.html Signed-off-by: Kenzoh Nishikawa <Kenzoh.Nishikawa@jp.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 802.11 standard says when processing a plink confirm frame: "If the peerLinkID in the mesh peering instance has not been set, the Local Link ID field of the Mesh Peering Confirm request shall be copied into the peerLinkID in the mesh peering instance." We were only doing this when receiving an open peering frame, but it could happen that the open frame gets lost and so we should handle this case rather than rejecting the confirm and failing the whole peering process.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mesh_plink code is doing some interesting things with the ignore_plink_timer flag. It seems the original intent was to handle this race: cpu 0 cpu 1 ----- ----- start timer handler for state X acquire sta_lock change state from X to Y mod_timer() / del_timer() release sta_lock acquire sta_lock execute state Y timer too soon However, using the mod_timer()/del_timer() return values to detect these cases is broken. As a result, timers get ignored unnecessarily, and stations can get stuck in the peering state machine. Instead, we can detect the case by looking at the timer expiration. In the case of del_timer, just ignore the timers in the following (LISTEN/ESTAB) states since they won't have timers anyway.

Also the code was allowing a local link ID of 0, but this is not correct since that TIM bit is used for indicating buffered mcast frames.
