Number of deployed 80 MHz capable VHT stations that do not support 80+80 and 160 MHz bandwidths seem to misbehave when trying to connect to an AP that advertises 80+80 or 160 MHz channel bandwidth in the VHT Operation element. To avoid such issues with deployed devices, modify the design based on recently accepted IEEE 802.11 standard changes (*). This allows poorly implemented VHT 80 MHz stations to connect with the AP in 80 MHz mode. 80+80 and 160 MHz capable stations need to support the new workaround mechanism to allow full bandwidth to be used. However, there are more or less no impacted station with 80+80/160 capability deployed. The rebased version of this patch is based on the updated version from Johannes Berg to take the HT/VHT chandef refactoring into account. (*) Changes in https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/15/11-15-1530-04-000m-vht160-operation-signaling-through-non-zero-ccfs1.docx were accepted during the IEEE 802.11 January 2016 meeting.

If any frames are dropped that are part of a BA session, the reorder buffer will "indefinitely" (until the timeout) wait for them to come in (or a BAR moving the window) and won't release frames after them. This means it isn't possible to filter frames within a BA session in firmware. Introduce an API function that allows such filtering. Calling this function will move the BA window forward to the new SSN, and allows marking frames after the SSN as having been filtered, so any future reordering activity will release frames while skipping the holes.

Clean up ieee80211_rx_reorder_ready() callers by passing the RX TID struct and the index, instead of the frames list. This will make it more extensible as well. While at it, move the inline to rx.c as it's only used there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This will allow drivers to make more educated decisions whether to defer transmission or not. Relying on wake_tx_queue() call count implicitly was not possible because it could be called without queued frame count actually changing on software tx aggregation start/stop code paths. It was also not possible to know how long byte-wise queue was without dequeueing. Signed-off-by: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit e6a9854b ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API"). The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of tests.

When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, the sta_info_insert_finish function consumes more stack than normally, exceeding the 1024 byte limit on ARM: net/mac80211/sta_info.c: In function 'sta_info_insert_finish': net/mac80211/sta_info.c:561:1: error: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] It turns out that there are two functions that put a 'struct station_info' on the stack: __sta_info_destroy_part2 and sta_info_insert_finish, and this structure alone requires up to 792 bytes. Hoping that both are called rarely enough, this replaces the on-stack structure with a dynamic allocation, which unfortunately requires some suboptimal error handling for out-of-memory. The __sta_info_destroy_part2 function is actually affected by the stack usage twice because it calls cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo(), which has another instance of struct station_info on its stack.

When joining IBSS a full scan should be initiated in order to search for existing cell, unless the fixed_channel parameter was set. A default channel to create the IBSS on if no cell was found is provided as well. However - a scan is initiated only on the default channel provided regardless of whether ifibss->fixed_channel is set or not, with the obvious result of the cell not joining existing IBSS cell that is on another channel.

The ieee80211_queue_stopped() expects hw queue number but it was given raw WMM AC number instead. This could cause frame drops and problems with traffic in some cases - most notably if driver doesn't map AC numbers to queue numbers 1:1 and uses ieee80211_stop_queues() and ieee80211_wake_queue() only without ever calling ieee80211_wake_queues(). On ath10k it was possible to hit this problem in the following case: 1. wlan0 uses queue 0 (ath10k maps queues per vif) 2. offchannel uses queue 15 3. queues 1-14 are unused 4. ieee80211_stop_queues() 5. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=0) 6. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=15) (other queues are not woken up because both driver and mac80211 know other queues are unused) 7. ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() 8. ieee80211_select_queue_80211() returns 2 9. ieee80211_queue_stopped(q=2) returns true 10. frame is dropped (oops!)

In VHT, the specification allows to limit the number of MSDUs in an A-MSDU in the Extended Capabilities IE. There is also a limitation on the byte size in the VHT IE. In HT, the only limitation is on the byte size. Parse the capabilities from the peer and make them available to the driver. In HT, there is another limitation when a BA agreement is active: the byte size can't be greater than 4095. This is not enforced here.

The minimum chandef bandwidth calculation was done only in case a new station was inserted (or when an existing station was removed). However, it is possible that stations are inserted before they are associated, e.g., when FULL_AP_CLIENT_STATE is supported and user space adds stations unassociated. Fix this by calling ieee80211_recalc_min_chandef() whenever a station transitions in/out the associated state, and only consider station marked as associated.

Some drivers offload some frames internally (e.g. AddBa). Reporting such frames to mac80211 would only confuse MLME. However it would be useful to be able to pass such frames to monitor interfaces for sniffing purposes, e.g. when running AP + monitor. To do that allow drivers to tell mac80211 whether a given frame should be: - processed but not delivered to any monitor vif - not processed but delievered to monitor vifs only Signed-off-by: Grzegorz Bajorski <grzegorz.bajorski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session. Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this parameter.

Pull oower management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "As far as the number of commits goes, ACPICA takes the lead this time, followed by cpufreq and the device properties framework changes. The most significant new feature is the debugfs-based interface to the ACPICA's AML debugger added in the previous cycle and a new user space tool for accessing it. On the cpufreq front, the core is updated to handle governors more efficiently, particularly on systems where a single cpufreq policy object is shared between multiple CPUs, and there are quite a few changes in drivers (intel_pstate, cpufreq-dt etc). The device properties framework is updated to handle built-in (ie included in the kernel itself) device properties better, among other things by adding a fallback mechanism that will allow drivers to provide default properties to be used in case the plaform firmware doesn't provide the properties expected by them. The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework gets new DT bindings and debugfs support. A new cpufreq driver for ST platforms is added and the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs will now support the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over. Specifics: - Add a debugfs-based interface for interacting with the ACPICA's AML debugger introduced in the previous cycle and a new user space tool for that, fix some bugs related to the AML debugger and clean up the code in question (Lv Zheng, Dan Carpenter, Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring). - Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20151218 including a number of fixes and cleanups in the ACPICA core (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Labbe Corentin, Prarit Bhargava, Colin Ian King, David E Box, Rafael Wysocki). In particular, the previously added erroneous support for the _SUB object is dropped, the concatenate operator will support all ACPI objects now, the Debug Object handling is improved, the SuperName handling of parameters being control methods is fixed, the ObjectType operator handling is updated to follow ACPI 5.0A and the handling of CondRefOf and RefOf is updated accordingly, module- level code will be executed after loading each ACPI table now (instead of being run once after all tables containing AML have been loaded), the Operation Region handlers management is updated to fix some reported problems and a the ACPICA code in the kernel is more in line with the upstream now. - Update the ACPI backlight driver to provide information on whether or not it will generate key-presses for brightness change hotkeys and update some platform drivers (dell-wmi, thinkpad_acpi) to use that information to avoid sending double key-events to users pace for these, add new ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede, Aaron Lu, Adrien Schildknecht). - Improve the ACPI handling of interrupt GPIOs (Christophe Ricard). - Fix the handling of the list of device IDs of device objects found in the ACPI namespace and add a helper for checking if there is a device object for a given device ID (Lukas Wunner). - Change the logic in the ACPI namespace scanning code to create struct acpi_device objects for all ACPI device objects found in the namespace even if _STA fails for them which helps to avoid device enumeration problems on Microsoft Surface 3 (Aaron Lu). - Add support for the APM X-Gene ACPI I2C device to the ACPI driver for AMD SoCs (Loc Ho). - Fix the long-standing issue with the DMA controller on Intel SoCs where ACPI tables have no power management support for the DMA controller itself, but it can be powered off automatically when the last (other) device on the SoC is powered off via ACPI and clean up the ACPI driver for Intel SoCs (acpi-lpss) after previous attempts to fix that problem (Andy Shevchenko). - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Andy Lutomirski, Colin Ian King, Javier Martinez Canillas, Ken Xue, Mathias Krause, Rafael Wysocki, Sinan Kaya). - Update the device properties framework for better handling of built-in properties, add support for built-in properties to the platform bus type, update the MFD subsystem's handling of device properties and add support for passing default configuration data as device properties to the intel-lpss MFD drivers, convert the designware I2C driver to use the unified device properties API and add a fallback mechanism for using default built-in properties if the platform firmware fails to provide the properties as expected by drivers (Andy Shevchenko, Mika Westerberg, Heikki Krogerus, Andrew Morton). - Add new Device Tree bindings to the Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and update the exynos4412 DT binding accordingly, introduce debugfs support for the OPP framework (Viresh Kumar, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz). - Migrate the mt8173 cpufreq driver to the new OPP bindings (Pi-Cheng Chen). - Update the cpufreq core to make the handling of governors more efficient, especially on systems where policy objects are shared between multiple CPUs (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Fix cpufreq governor handling on configurations with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC set (Chen Yu). - Clean up the cpufreq core code related to the boost sysfs knob support and update the ACPI cpufreq driver accordingly (Rafael Wysocki). - Add a new cpufreq driver for ST platforms and corresponding Device Tree bindings (Lee Jones). - Update the intel_pstate driver to allow the P-state selection algorithm used by it to depend on the CPU ID of the processor it is running on, make it use a special P-state selection algorithm (with an IO wait time compensation tweak) on Atom CPUs based on the Airmont and Silvermont cores so as to reduce their energy consumption and improve intel_pstate documentation (Philippe Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada). - Update the cpufreq-dt driver to support registering cooling devices that use the (P * V^2 * f) dynamic power draw formula where V is the voltage, f is the frequency and P is a constant coefficient provided by Device Tree and update the arm_big_little cpufreq driver to use that support (Punit Agrawal). - Assorted cpufreq driver (cpufreq-dt, qoriq, pcc-cpufreq, blackfin-cpufreq) updates (Andrzej Hajda, Hongtao Jia, Jacob Tanenbaum, Markus Elfring). - cpuidle core tweaks related to polling and measured_us calculation (Rik van Riel). - Removal of modularity from a few cpuidle drivers (clps711x, ux500, exynos) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul Gortmaker). - PM core update to prevent devices from being probed during system suspend/resume which is generally problematic and may lead to inconsistent behavior (Grygorii Strashko). - Assorted updates of the PM core and related code (Julia Lawall, Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, Maruthi Bayyavarapu, Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson). - PNP bus type updates (Christophe Le Roy, Heiner Kallweit). -
