The iTXQs stop/wake queue mechanism involves a whole bunch of locks and this is probably why the call to ieee80211_wake_txqs is deferred to a tasklet when called from __ieee80211_wake_queue. Another advantage of that is that ieee80211_wake_txqs might call the wake_tx_queue() callback and then the driver may call mac80211 which will call it back in the same context. The bug I saw is that when we send a deauth frame as a station we do: flush(drop=1) tx deauth flush(drop=0) While we flush we stop the queues and wake them up immediately after we finished flushing. The problem here is that the tasklet that de-facto enables the queue may not have run until we send the deauth. Then the deauth frame is sent to the driver (which is surprising by itself), but the driver won't get anything useful from ieee80211_tx_dequeue because the queue is stopped (or more precisely because vif->txqs_stopped[0] is true). Then the deauth is not sent. Later on, the tasklet will run, but that'll be too late. We'll already have removed all the vif etc... Fix this by calling ieee80211_wake_txqs synchronously if we are not waking up the queues from the driver (we check the reason to determine that). This makes the code really convoluted because we may call ieee80211_wake_txqs from __ieee80211_wake_queue. The latter assumes that queue_stop_reason_lock has been taken by the caller and ieee80211_wake_txqs may release the lock to send the frames.

Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and repointed it to a still live, but also stale website. As far as I know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org. Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper. Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard, so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a little more helpful and accurate.

This device takes over an existing network device and produces a new one that appears like a wireless connection, returning enough canned responses to nl80211 to satisfy a standard connection manager. If necessary, it can also be set up one step removed from an existing network device, such as through a vlan/80211Q or macvlan connection to not disrupt the existing network interface. To use it to wrap a bare ethernet connection: ip link add link eth0 name wlan0 type virt_wifi You may have to rename or otherwise hide the eth0 from your connection manager, as the original network link will become unusuable and only the wireless wrapper will be functional. This can also be combined with vlan or macvlan links on top of eth0 to share the network between distinct links, but that requires support outside the machine for accepting vlan-tagged packets or packets from multiple MAC addresses. This is being used for Google's Remote Android Virtual Device project, which runs Android devices in virtual machines. The standard network interfaces provided inside the virtual machines are all ethernet. However, Android is not interested in ethernet devices and would rather connect to a wireless interface. This patch allows the virtual machine guest to treat one of its network connections as wireless rather than ethernet, satisfying Android's network connection requirements. We believe this is a generally useful driver for simulating wireless network connections in other environments where a wireless connection is desired by some userspace process but is not available. This is distinct from other testing efforts such as mac80211_hwsim by being a cfg80211 device instead of mac80211 device, allowing straight pass-through on the data plane instead of forcing packaging of ethernet data into mac80211 frames.

When userspace is controlling mesh routing, it may have better knowledge about whether a mesh STA is connected to a mesh gate than the kernel mpath table.

The Connected to Mesh Gate subfield (802.11-2016 9.4.2.98.7) in the Mesh Formation Info field is currently unset. This field may be useful in determining which MBSSes to join or which mesh STAs to peer with. If this mesh STA is a gate, by having turned on mesh gate announcements, or if we have a path to one (e.g. by having received RANNs) then set this bit to 1.

The mac80211_hwsim driver does not specify supported cipher types, which in turn enables all ciphers to be supported in software. (see net/mac80211/main.c:ieee80211_init_cipher_suites). Allowing ciphers to be configurable is valuable for simulating older drivers that may not support all ciphers. This patch adds a new attribute: - HWSIM_ATTR_CIPHER_SUPPORT A u32 array/list of supported cipher types This only allows enabling/disabling cipher types listed in the (new) "hwsim_ciphers" array in mac80211_hwsim.c. Any unknown cipher type will result in -EINVAL.

The mac80211_hwsim driver hard codes its supported interface types. For testing purposes it would be valuable to allow changing these supported types in order to simulate actual drivers than support a limited set of iftypes. A new attribute was added to allow this: - HWSIM_ATTR_IFTYPE_SUPPORT A u32 bit field of supported NL80211_IFTYPE_* bits This will only enable/disable iftypes that mac80211_hwsim already supports. In order to accomplish this, the ieee80211_iface_limit structure needed to be built dynamically to only include limit rules for iftypes that the user requested to enable.

When a wiphy changes its namespace, all interfaces are moved to the new namespace as well. The network interfaces are properly announced as leaving on the old and as appearing on the new namespace through RTM_NEWLINK/RTM_DELLINK. On nl80211, however, these events are missing for radios and their interfaces. Add netlink announcements through nl80211 when switching namespaces, so userspace can rely on these events to discover radios properly.

Add a new "peer measurement" API, that can be used to measure certain things related to a peer. Right now, only implement FTM (flight time measurement) over it, but the idea is that it'll be extensible to also support measuring the necessary things to calculate e.g. angle-of-arrival for WiGig. The API is structured to have a generic list of peers and channels to measure with/on, and then for each of those a set of measurements (again, only FTM right now) to perform. Results are sent to the requesting socket, including a final complete message. Closing the controlling netlink socket will abort a running measurement. v3: - add a bit to report "final" for partial results - remove list keeping etc. and just unicast out the results to the requester (big code reduction ...) - also send complete message unicast, and as a result remove the multicast group - separate out struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer from struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer - document timeout == 0 if no timeout - disallow setting timeout nl80211 attribute to 0, must not include attribute for no timeout - make MAC address randomization optional - change num bursts exponent default to 0 (1 burst, rather rather than the old default of 15==don't care) v4: - clarify NL80211_ATTR_TIMEOUT documentation v5: - remove unnecessary nl80211 multicast/family changes - remove partial results bit/flag, final is sufficient - add max_bursts_exponent, max_ftms_per_burst to capability - rename "frames per burst" -> "FTMs per burst" v6: - rename cfg80211_pmsr_free_wdev() to cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() and call it in leave, so the device can't go down with any pending measurements v7: - wording fixes (Lior) - fix ftm.max_bursts_exponent to allow having the limit of 0 (Lior) v8: - copyright statements - minor coding style fixes - fix error path leak Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Current driver dynamically allocates an skb and maps it as DMA Rx buffer. In order to prepare for upcoming XDP changes, let's introduce a different allocation scheme. Buffers are allocated dynamically and mapped into hardware. During the Rx operation the driver uses build_skb() to produce the necessary buffers for the network stack.

Interferences on the SPI line could distort the response of available buffer space. So at least we should check that the response doesn't exceed the maximum available buffer space. In error case increase a new error counter and retry it later. This behavior avoids buffer errors in the QCA7000, which results in an unnecessary chip reset including packet loss.

qeth_l3_setup_netdev() checks if the hsuid attribute is set on the qeth device, and propagates it to the net_device. In the past this was needed to pick up any hsuid that was set before allocation of the net_device. With commit d3d1b205 ("s390/qeth: allocate netdevice early") this is no longer necessary, qeth_l3_dev_hsuid_store() always stores the hsuid straight into dev->perm_addr.
