Add feature bits to indicate device support for static-smps and dynamic-smps modes. Add a new NL80211_ATTR_SMPS_MODE attribue to allow configuring the smps mode to be used by the ap (e.g. configuring to ap to dynamic smps mode will reduce power consumption while having minor effect on throughput) Signed-off-by:

Add nl80211 and driver API to validate, add and delete traffic streams with appropriate settings. The API calls for userspace doing the action frame handshake with the peer, and then allows only to set up the parameters in the driver. To avoid setting up a session only to tear it down again, the validate API is provided, but the real usage later can still fail so userspace must be prepared for that. Signed-off-by: -

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.

This patch improves the way minstrel_ht sorts rates according to throughput and success probability. 3 FOR-loops across the entire rate and mcs group set in function minstrel_ht_update_stats() which where used to determine the fastest, second fastest and most robust rate are reduced to 2 FOR-loop. The sorted list of rates according throughput is extended to the best four rates as we need them in upcoming joint rate and power control. The sorting is done via the new function minstrel_ht_sort_best_tp_rates(). The annotation of those 4 best throughput rates in the debugfs file rc-stats is changes to: "A,B,C,D", where A is the fastest rate and C the 4th fastest. Signed-off-by:

Linux already supports 802.11h, where the access point can tell the client to reduce its transmission power. However, 802.11h is only defined for 5 GHz, where the need for this is much smaller than on 2.4 GHz. Cisco has their own solution, called DTPC (Dynamic Transmit Power Control). Cisco APs on a controller sometimes but not always send 802.11h; they always send DTPC, even on 2.4 GHz. This patch adds support for parsing and honoring the DTPC IE in addition to the 802.11h element (they do not always contain the same limits, so both must be honored); the format is not documented, but very simple. Tested (on top of wireless.git and on 3.16.1) against a Cisco Aironet 1142 joined to a Cisco 2504 WLC, by setting various transmit power levels for the given access points and observing the results. The Wireshark 802.11 dissector agrees with the interpretation of the element, except for negative numbers, which seem to never happen anyway. Signed-off-by:

Decouple the logic of parsing the 802.11d and 802.11h IEs from the part of deciding what to do about the data (messaging, clamping to 0 dBm, doing the actual setting). This paves the way for the next patch, which introduces more data sources for transmit power limitation. Signed-off-by:

commit "mac80211: disable 40MHz support in case of 20MHz AP" broke working VHT in 20Mhz with APs like Netgear R6300v2 which do not publish support for 40Mhz but allow use of VHT in 20Mhz. The break is because VHT is disabled once no HT cap doesn't indicate support for 40Mhz. This causes the assoc request to be sent without any VHT IE and the association is only HT due to this. For more details check out commit 4a817aa7 "mac80211: allow VHT with peers not capable of 40MHz" Fixes: 53b954ee ("mac80211: disable 40MHz support in case of 20MHz AP") Signed-off-by:

Enable ACK timeout estimation algorithm (dynack) using mac80211 set_coverage_class API. Dynack is activated passing coverage class equals to -1 to lower drivers and it is automatically disabled setting valid value for coverage class. Define NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag attribute to enable dynack from userspace. In order to activate dynack NL80211_FEATURE_ACKTO_ESTIMATION feature flag must be set by lower drivers to indicate dynack capability. Signed-off-by:

If the remaining time in the current roc is not long enough, mac80211 adds the new roc right after it (if they have similar params). However, in case of multiple rocs, the "next roc" is not considered, resulting in multiple rocs, each one with its own duration. Refactor the code a bit and consider the next roc, so a single max roc will be used instead of multiple rocs (which might last much longer). Signed-off-by:

The regdom intersection code simply tries intersecting each rule of the source with each rule of the target. Since the resulting intersections are not observed as a whole, this can result in multiple overlapping/duplicate entries. Make the rule addition a bit more smarter, by looking for rules that can be contained within other rules, and adding only extended ones. Signed-off-by:

Radio Resource Measurement (RRM) is a bundle of features which will require the entire stack to participate. In this patch, the driver is given the opportunity to advertise the device's support for these RRM-related features, using feature flags: 1. Support for Quiet IEs. 2. Support for adding DS Parameter Set IE to probe requests. 3. Support for adding WFA TPC Report IE to probe requests. 4. Support for inserting tx power value to tx-ed packets at a fixed offset. This is used in action frames, such as RRM's Link Measurement Report, where the actual tx power should be reported in the frame. Signed-off-by:

When starting an offloaded BA session it is unknown what starting sequence number should be used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except after hw restart. When hw restart is requested last_seq is (rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary BA window values resulting in dropped frames until sequence numbers caught up. Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed frame of a given BA session. This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k). Signed-off-by:

When a device driver is unloaded local->interfaces list is cleared. If there was more than 1 interface running and connected (bound to a chanctx) then chantype recalc was called and it ended up with compat being NULL causing a call trace warning. Warn if compat becomes NULL as a result of incompatible bss_conf.chandef of interfaces bound to a given channel context only.

The "rcu_dereference()" calls are used directly in conditions. Since their return values are never dereferenced it is recommended to use "rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()". Therefore, this patch makes the replacements.

The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer. According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment: "1. This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer" it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a smaller overhead.

There are a few possible cases of where BSS data came from: 1) only a beacon has been received 2) only a probe response has been received 3) the driver didn't report what it received (this happens when using cfg80211_inform_bss[_width]()) 4) both probe response and beacon data has been received Unfortunately, in the userspace API, a few things weren't there: a) there was no way to differentiate cases 1) and 4) above without comparing the data of the IEs b) the TSF was always from the last frame, instead of being exposed for beacon/probe response separately like IEs Fix this by i) exporting a new flag attribute that indicates whether or not probe response data has been received - this addresses (a) ii) exporting a BEACON_TSF attribute that holds the beacon's TSF if a beacon has been received iii) not exporting the beacon attributes in case (3) above as that would just lead userspace into thinking the data actually came from a beacon when that isn't clear To implement this, track inside the IEs struct whether or not it (definitely) came from a beacon.

Header-less cloned skbs with sufficient headroom need not be cloned unless the tailroom is going to be modified. Fix ieee80211_skb_resize so it would only resize cloned skbs if either the header isn't released or the tailroom is going to be modified. Some drivers might have assumed that skbs are never cloned, so add a HW flag that explicitly permits cloned TX skbs. Drivers which do not modify TX skbs should set this flag to avoid copying skbs.

In the cfg80211_rx_mgmt(), parameter @gfp was used for the memory allocation. But, memory get allocated under spin_lock_bh(), this implies atomic context. So, one can't use GFP_KERNEL, only variants with no __GFP_WAIT. Actually, in all occurrences GFP_ATOMIC is used (wil6210 use GFP_KERNEL by mistake), and it should be this way or warning triggered in the memory allocation code. Remove @gfp parameter as no actual choice exist, and use hard coded GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocation. Signed-off-by:
