2014-10-22mac80211: add WMM admission control supportJohannes Berg1-5/+0
Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low level driver to implement WMM admission control. The low level driver needs to report the media time used by each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the admission controlled Access Category when the limit is reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored, mac80211 will do so. One issue with this approach is that management frames will also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended to driver- or device-based implementations that are better.

2014-06-23mac80211: introduce refcount for queue_stop_reasonsLuciano Coelho1-2/+6
Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch). Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds a refcount instead. In order to keep it backwards compatible, introduce a boolean in some functions that tell us whether the queue stopping should be refcounted or not. For now, use not refcounted for all calls to keep it functionally the same as before. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-02-05mac80211: send {ADD,DEL}BA on AC_VO like other mgmt frames, as per specKarl Beldan1-1/+1
ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

2013-01-24mac80211: fix aggregation state with current driversJohannes Berg1-7/+10
For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done, like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens in the following way: - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested - driver marks TID as emptying - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets to the TX pending queues and also let new packets through to the driver - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely converted to the new API In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 Tx while agg.state = 4 Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:0 Tainted: G W 3.1.0 #1 Call Trace: [<c1046e42>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<c1046f13>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x40 [<fddffa17>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 [iwldvm] [<fddfcaa3>] iwlagn_mac_tx+0x23/0x40 [iwldvm] [<fd8c98b6>] __ieee80211_tx+0xf6/0x3c0 [mac80211] [<fd8cbe00>] ieee80211_tx+0xd0/0x100 [mac80211] [<fd8cc176>] ieee80211_xmit+0x96/0xe0 [mac80211] [<fd8cc578>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x348/0xc80 [mac80211] [<c1445207>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x337/0x6d0 [<c145eee9>] sch_direct_xmit+0xa9/0x210 [<c14462c0>] dev_queue_xmit+0x1b0/0x8e0 Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race just let the race not reach the drivers by making two changes: 1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in the managed mode code, the same thing will be done when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy. 2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped. It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta later, but until then any racy packets will be put onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted which is fine since the station is being removed.

2013-01-03mac80211: split TX aggregation stop actionJohannes Berg1-5/+35
When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few different cases: - connection with the peer was dropped - session stop was requested locally - session stop was requested by the peer - connection was dropped while a session is stopping The behaviour in these cases should be different, if the connection is dropped then the driver should drop all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of the peer requesting session stop. Split these different cases so that the driver can act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as aggregated packets any more. In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-04-12mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg1-19/+20
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue is full and then try to send an off-channel frame the frame will never go out. This will become worse when we support multi-channel since then a queue on one channel might be full, but we have to stop the software queue for all channels. That is obviously not desirable. To address this problem allow drivers to register more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue the corresponding AC software queues on the correct interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally, there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This allows drivers to manage software queues closer to how the hardware works. Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues. This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it as needed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-10mac80211: optimize aggregation session timeout handlingFelix Fietkau1-2/+16
Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the timeout doesn't need to be so precise. Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp. Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems running on battery. This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded systems.

2011-12-19mac80211: split addba retries in timeNikolay Martynov1-0/+19
Currently code allows three (HT_AGG_MAX_RETRIES) unanswered addba requests. When this limit is reached aggregation is turned off for given TID permanently. This doesn't seem right: three requests is not that much, some 'blackout' can happen, but effect of it affects whole connection indefinitely. This patch increases number of retries to 15. Also, when there have been 3 or more retries it splits further retries apart by 15 seconds instead of sending them in very short period of time.

Currently BAR, ADDBA and DELBA frames are always sent using AC_VO.

2011-12-14mac80211: Purge A-MPDU TX queues before station destructionsYogesh Ashok Powar1-0/+2
When a station leaves suddenly while ampdu traffic to that station is still running, there is a possibility that the ampdu pending queues are not freed due to a race condition leading to memory leaks. In '__sta_info_destroy' when we attempt to destroy the ampdu sessions in 'ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions', the driver calls 'ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe' to delete the ampdu structures (tid_tx) and splice the pending queues and this job gets queued in sdata workqueue. However, the sta entry can get destroyed before the above work gets scheduled and hence the race. Purging the queues and freeing the tid_tx to avoid the leak. The better solution would be to fix the race, but that can be taken up in a separate patch.

2011-12-08mac80211: fix another race in aggregation startJohannes Berg1-45/+41
Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session. (The patch looks large because it has to move two functions to before their new use.)

2011-12-07mac80211: Add HT operation modes for IBSSAlexander Simon1-1/+4
The HT mode is set by iw (previous patchsets). The interface is set into the specified HT mode. HT mode and capabilities are announced in beacons. If we add a station that uses HT also, the fastest matching HT mode will be used for transmission. That means if we are using HT40+ and we add a station running on HT40-, we would transfer at HT20. If we join an IBSS with HT40, but the secondary channel is not available, we will fall back into HT20 as well. Allow frame aggregation to start in IBSS mode.

2011-11-28mac80211: timeout tx agg sessions in way similar to rx agg sessionsNikolay Martynov1-1/+34
Currently tx aggregation is not being timed out even if timeout is specified when aggregation is opened. Tx tid stays active until delba arrives from recipient (i.e. recipient times out tid when it is inactive). The problem with this approach is that delba can get lost in the air and tx tid will stay perpetually opened on the originator while closed on recipient thus all data sent via this tid will be lost.

2011-11-28mac80211: fix race between the AGG SM and the Tx data pathEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+14
When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the ampdu_action callback. There is race between these two mechanisms since the following scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down: Tx softIRQ drv configuration ========== ================= check OPERATIONAL bit Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet clear OPERATIONAL bit stop Tx AGG Pass Tx packet to the driver. In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set although it has already been notified that the BA session has been torn down. To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet. This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON when it happens.

2011-05-16mac80211: sparse RCU annotationsJohannes Berg1-15/+21
This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be done. Due the the previous patches, the annotations are pretty simple. The only thing that this actually changes is removing the RCU usage of key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has a single assignment done before the key even goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I decided to make it part of this patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2011-05-16mac80211: fix TX a-MPDU lockingJohannes Berg1-6/+17
During my quest to make mac80211 not have any RCU warnings from sparse, I came across the a-MPDU code again and it wasn't quite clear why it isn't racy. So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session use a separate temporary array protected only by the spinlock and protect all assignments to the "live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so that other code is easily verified to be correct. Due to pointer assignment atomicity I don't think this is a real issue, but I'm not sure, especially on Alpha the current code might be problematic.

2011-05-08net,rcu: convert call_rcu(kfree_tid_tx) to kfree_rcu()Lai Jiangshan1-11/+3
The rcu callback kfree_tid_tx() just calls a kfree(), so we use kfree_rcu() instead of the call_rcu(kfree_tid_tx). Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2011-01-19mac80211: allow advertising correct maximum aggregate sizeJohannes Berg1-1/+2
Currently, mac80211 always advertises that it may send up to 64 subframes in an aggregate. This is fine, since it's the max, but might as well be set to zero instead since it doesn't have any information. However, drivers might have that information, so allow them to set a variable giving it, which will then be used. The default of zero will be fine since to the peer that means we don't know and it will just use its own limit for the buffer size.

2011-01-19mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer sizeJohannes Berg1-3/+17
The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0 instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it isn't possible to honour this request. In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That way the driver can limit the number of subframes in aggregates appropriately. Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the addition of the new argument -- they all need to be updated separately to use this variable!

2010-12-16mac80211: Add timeout to BA session start APISujith Manoharan1-2/+5
Allow drivers or rate control algorithms to specify BlockAck session timeout when initiating an ADDBA transaction. This is useful in cases where maintaining persistent BA sessions does not incur any overhead. The current timeout value of 5000 TUs is retained for all non ath9k/ath9k_htc drivers.

2010-10-07mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old APJohannes Berg1-5/+9
When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

2010-10-06mac80211: delete AddBA response timerJohannes Berg1-0/+2
We never delete the addBA response timer, which is typically fine, but if the station it belongs to is deleted very quickly after starting the BA session, before the peer had a chance to reply, the timer may fire after the station struct has been freed already. Therefore, we need to delete the timer in a suitable spot -- best when the session is being stopped (which will happen even then) in which case the delete will be a no-op most of the time. I've reproduced the scenario and tested the fix.
