Allow rate control modules to pass a rate selection table to mac80211 and the driver. This allows drivers to fetch the most recent rate selection from the sta pointer for already buffered frames. This allows rate control to respond faster to sudden link changes and it is also a step towards adding minstrel_ht support to drivers like iwlwifi. When a driver sets IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE, mac80211 will not fill info->control.rates with rates from the rate table (to preserve explicit overrides by the rate control module). The driver then explicitly calls ieee80211_get_tx_rates to merge overrides from info->control.rates with defaults from the sta rate table.

Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP. There can be only on critical protocol session started per registered cfg80211 device. The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks .crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and alter coexistence schemes.

minstrel_ht initializes max_tp_rate max_tp_rate2 and max_prob_rate to zero both for minstrel_ht_sta and minstrel_mcs_group_data. This is wrong since there is no guarantee that the 1st rate of any group is supported. Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The RCU docs used to state that rcu_barrier() included a wait for an RCU grace period; however the comments for rcu_barrier() as of commit f0a0e6f2... "rcu: Clarify memory-ordering properties of grace-period primitives" contradict this. So add back synchronize_{rcu,net}() to where they once were, but keep the rcu_barrier()s for the call_rcu() callbacks.

Some driver implementations need to know whether mandatory admission control is required by the AP for some ACs. Add a parameter to the TX queue parameters indicating this. As there's currently no support for admission control in mac80211's AP implementation, it's only ever set for the client implementation.

In cfg80211_can_use_iftype_chan(), check for P2P Device first, and then for netdevs. This doesn't really change anything but makes the code a bit easier to read since it may not be obvious for everyone at first that a P2P device has no netdev. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

cfg80211_stop_p2p_device() requires the devlist_mtx to be held, but nl80211_stop_p2p_device() doesn't acquire it which is a locking error and causes a warning (when lockdep is enabled). Fix this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Most dump callbacks, including the scan results one, use the netdev to identify what to do, which is incorrect for the P2P_DEVICE support, it needs to be able to get the scan result from the wdev. Change all dumps to unify the code, but ones other than scan don't really support being executed on a wdev that has no netdev. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

There's an issue in receiving broadcast management frames on P2P Device virtual interfaces, such frames have the RX flag IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH cleared and are thus dropped in ieee80211_rx_h_mgmt_check().

Use powers of two in ewma of minstrel.

Since Stanislaw's patches, when suspending while connected, cfg80211 will disconnect. This causes the AP station to be removed, which uses call_rcu() to clean up. Due to needing process context, this queues a work struct on the mac80211 workqueue. This will warn and fail when already suspended, which can happen if the rcu call doesn't happen quickly. To fix this, replace the synchronize_net() which is really just synchronize_rcu_expedited() with rcu_barrier(), which unlike synchronize_rcu() waits until RCU callback have run and thus avoids this issue. In theory, this can even happen without Stanislaw's change to disconnect on suspend since userspace might disconnect just before suspending, though then it's unlikely that the call_rcu() will be delayed long enough.

Currently the code always copies the configured MCS mask (even if it is set to default), but only uses it if legacy rates were also masked out. Fix this by adding a flag that tracks whether the configured MCS mask is set to default or not. Optimize the code further by storing a pointer to the configured rate mask in txrc instead of using memcpy.

The number of VHT spatial streams (NSS) is found in: - s8 ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] (tx - filled by rate control) - u8 ieee80211_rx_status.vht_nss (rx - filled by driver) Tx discriminates valid rates indexes with the sign bit and encodes NSS starting from 0 to 7 (note this matches some hw encodings e.g IWLMVM). Rx does not have the same constraints, and encodes NSS starting from 1 to 8 (note this matches what wireshark expects in the radiotap header). To handle ieee80211_tx_rate.rate.idx[6:4] ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() assume their nss parameter and return value respectively runs from 0 to 7. ATM, there are only 2 users of these: cfg.c:sta_set_rate_info_t() and iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:iwl_mvm_hwrate_to_tx_control(), but both assume nss runs from 1 to 8. This patch fixes this inconsistency by making ieee80211_rate_set_vht() and ieee80211_rate_get_vht_nss() handle an nss running from 1 to 8.

I noticed that monitor interfaces by default would start on 5GHz while STA/AP ones would start 2GHZ - It stems from the fact that ieee80211_register_hw unnecessarily adjusts the local->monitor_chandef for each band. This avoids this and while at it uses a single dflt_chandef to initialize in one go local->{hw.conf.chandef,_oper_chandef,monitor_chandef} Signed-off-by: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Currently, mac80211 assumes that connection monitor offload for BSS station implies that the device: - sends periodic keep alive packets to associated AP - monitors missed beacons - actively probes the AP in case of missed beacons In case of poor connection conditions it expects the function ieee80211_connection_loss() to be called by driver. However, some devices implement connection monitor offload excluding active AP probing. To allow them to call ieee80211_beacon_loss() cleanly, remove the warning there and thus allow them to use mac80211 for the AP probing even if connection monitor offload is supported.

VHT introduces multiple IEs that need to be parsed for a wide bandwidth channel switch. Two are (currently) needed in mac80211: * wide bandwidth channel switch element * channel switch wrapper element The former is contained in the latter for beacons and probe responses, but not for the spectrum management action frames so the IE parser needs a new argument to differentiate them.

Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling of CSA on HT access points. For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular, the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware API. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well. Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
