2013-02-15mac80211: track number of spatial streamsJohannes Berg3-0/+44
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>
2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg10-94/+130
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...)

2013-02-15mac80211: don't call bss_info_changed on p2p-device/monitorJohannes Berg2-9/+18
Since the idle decision rework, mac80211 started calling bss_info_changed() for the driver's monitor interface, which causes a crash for iwlwifi, but drivers generally don't expect this to happen. Therefore, avoid it. While at it, also prevent calling it in such cases and only print a warning. For the P2P Device interface the idle will no longer be called (no channel context), so also prevent that and warn on it.

2013-02-15mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout handlingJohannes Berg4-4/+25
In my commit 1672c0e31917f49d31d30d79067103432bc20cc7 ("mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status") I broke auth/assoc timeout handling: in case we wait for the TX status, it now leaves the timeout field set to 0, which is a valid time and can compare as being before now ("jiffies"). Thus, if the work struct runs for some other reason, the auth/assoc is treated as having timed out. Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started" variable that tracks whether the timeout has started and is checked before timing out. Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all the frames, so set it up for all frames in mac80211.

2013-02-15mac80211: fix WPA with VLAN on AP side with ps-staMichael Braun1-0/+1
When sending a broadcast while at least on of the connected stations is sleeping, it gets queued and send after a DTIM beacon is sent. If the packet was to be sent on a vlan interface, the vif used for dequeing from the per-bss queue does not hold the per-vlan sdata. The correct sdata is required to use the correct per-vlan broadcast/multicast key. This patch fixes this by restoring the per-vlan sdata using the skb->dev entry.

2013-02-12mac80211: Add flushes before going off-channelSeth Forshee2-0/+8
We've got a couple of races when enabling powersave with an AP for off-channel operation. The first is fairly simple. If we go off-channel before the nullfunc frame to enable PS is transmitted then it may not be received by the AP. Add a flush after enabling off-channel PS to prevent this from happening. The second race is a bit more subtle. If the driver supports QoS and has frames queued when the nullfunc frame is queued, those frames may get transmitted after the nullfunc frame. If PM is not set then the AP is being told that we've exited PS before we go off-channel and may try to deliver frames. To prevent this, add a flush after stopping the queues but before passing the nullfunc frame to the driver.

2013-02-12mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scansSeth Forshee6-25/+36
Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211 queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues. To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason, IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues. This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag. Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2013-02-11mac80211: explicitly copy channels to VLANs where neededJohannes Berg3-18/+38
Currently the code assigns channel contexts to VLANs (for use by the TX/RX code) when the AP master gets its channel context assigned. This works fine, but in the upcoming radar detection work the VLANs don't require a channel context (during radar detection) and assigning one to them anyway causes issues with locking and also inconsistencies -- a VLAN interface that is added before radar detection would get the channel context, while one added during it wouldn't.

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.

2013-01-31mac80211: improve latency and throughput while software scanningStanislaw Gruszka1-27/+5
Patch vastly improve latency while scanning. Slight throughput improvements were observed as well. Is intended for improve performance of voice and video applications, when scan is periodically requested by user space (i.e. default NetworkManager behaviour). Patch remove latency requirement based on PM_QOS_NETWORK_LATENCY, this value is 2000 seconds by default (i.e. approximately 0.5 hour !?!). Also remove listen interval requirement, which based on beaconing and depending on BSS parameters. It can make we stay off-channel for a second or more. Instead try to offer the best latency that we could, i.e. be off-channel no longer than PASSIVE channel scan time: 125 ms. That mean we will scan two ACTIVE channels and go back to on-channel, and one PASSIVE channel, and go back to on-channel. Patch also decrease PASSIVE channel scan time to about 110 ms. As drawback patch increase overall scan time. On my tests, when scanning both 2GHz and 5GHz bands, scanning time increase from 5 seconds up to 10 seconds. Since that increase happen only when we are associated, I think it can be acceptable. If eventually better scan time is needed for situations when we lose signal and quickly need to decide to which AP roam, additional scan flag or parameter can be introduced. I tested patch by doing: while true; do iw dev wlan0 scan; sleep 3; done > /dev/null and ping -i0.2 -c 1000 HOST on remote and local machine, results are as below: * Ping from local periodically scanning machine to AP: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/24.946/182.135/36.873 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.928/19.678/150.845/33.130 ms * Ping from remote machine to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.637/120.683/709.139/164.337 ms Patched: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.807/26.893/201.435/40.284 ms Throughput measured by scp show following results. * Upload to periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 3.9MB/s 03:15 Patched: 4.3MB/s 02:58 * Download from periodically scanning machine: Unpatched: 5.5MB/s 02:17 Patched: 6.2MB/s 02:02 Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-31mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame statusJohannes Berg6-28/+99
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.
