When we go to suspend, there is complex set of states that avoids races. The quiescing variable is set whlie __ieee80211_suspend is running. Then suspended is set. The code makes sure there is no window without any of these flags. The problem is that workers can still be enqueued while we are quiescing. This leads to situations where the driver is already suspending and other flows like disassociation are handled by a worker. To fix this, we need to check quiescing and suspended flags in the worker itself and not only before enqueueing it. I also add here extensive documentation to ease the understanding of these complex issues.

When mac80211 disconnects, it drops all the packets on the queues. This happens after the net stack has been notified that we have no link anymore (netif_carrier_off). netif_carrier_off ensures that no new packets are sent to xmit() callback, but we might have older packets in the middle of the Tx path. These packets will land in the driver's queues after the latter have been flushed. Synchronize_net() between netif_carrier_off and drv_flush() will fix this. Note that we can't call synchronize_net inside ieee80211_flush_queues since there are flows that call ieee80211_flush_queues and don't need synchronize_net() which is an expensive operation.

Control per packet Transmit Power Control (TPC) in lower drivers according to TX power settings configured by the user. In particular TPC is enabled if value passed in enum nl80211_tx_power_setting is NL80211_TX_POWER_LIMITED (allow using less than specified from userspace), whereas TPC is disabled if nl80211_tx_power_setting is set to NL80211_TX_POWER_FIXED (use value configured from userspace) Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi83@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some drivers unfortunately cannot support software crypto, but mac80211 currently assumes that they do. This has the issue that if the hardware enabling fails for some reason, the software fallback is used, which won't work. This clearly isn't desirable, the error should be reported and the key setting refused. Support this in mac80211 by allowing drivers to set a new HW flag IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL, in which case mac80211 will only allow software fallback if the set_key() method returns 1. The driver will also need to advertise supported cipher suites so that mac80211 doesn't advertise any (future) software ciphers that the driver can't actually do. While at it, to make it easier to support this, refactor the ieee80211_init_cipher_suites() code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Station info state is started in allocation, so should be destroyed on free (it's just a timer); rate control must be freed if anything afterwards fails to initialize. LED exit should be later, no need for locking there, but it needs to be done also when rate init failed. Also clean up the code by moving a label so the locking doesn't have to be done separately.

For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different bandwidths at the same time. Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field for the bandwidth ('bw') instead. While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate, but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them. In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

These rates are treated the same as 160 MHz in the spec, so it makes no sense to distinguish them. As no driver uses them yet, this is also not a problem, just remove them.

When a system contains only self-managed regulatory devices all hints from the regulatory core are ignored. Stop hint processing early in this case. These systems usually don't have CRDA deployed, which results in endless (irrelevent) logs of the form: cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Make sure there's at least one self-managed device before discarding a hint, in order to prevent initial hints from disappearing on CRDA managed systems.

local->radar_detect_enabled should tell whether radar_detect is enabled on any interface belonging to local. However, it's not getting updated correctly in many cases (actually, when testing with hwsim it's never been set, even when the dfs master is beaconing). Instead of handling all the corner cases (e.g. channel switch), simply check whether radar detection is enabled only when needed, instead of caching the result.

The function adding the supported channels IE during a TDLS connection had several issues: 1. If the entire subband is usable, the function exitted the loop without adding it 2. The function only checked chandef_usable, ignoring flags like RADAR which would prevent TDLS off-channel communcation. 3. HT20 was explicitly required in the chandef, while not a requirement for TDLS off-channel.

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming because the low level driver is trying to send packets to an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up the roaming. For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

When a station disconnects with frames still pending, we clear the TIM bit, but too late - it's only cleared when the station is already removed from the driver, and thus the driver can get confused (and hwsim will loudly complain.) Fix this by clearing the TIM bit earlier, when the station has been unlinked but not removed from the driver yet. To do this, refactor the TIM recalculation to in that case ignore traffic and simply assume no pending traffic - this is correct for the disconnected station even though the frames haven't been freed yet at that point. This patch isn't needed for current drivers though as they don't check the station argument to the set_tim() operation and thus don't really run into the possible confusion.

Implement the new counters cfg80211 can now advertise to userspace. The TX code is in the sequence number handler, which is a bit odd, but that place already knows the TID and frame type, so it was easiest and least impact there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The base for the current statistics is pretty mixed up, support exporting RX/TX statistics for MSDUs per TID. This (currently) covers received MSDUs, transmitted MSDUs and retries/failures thereof. Doing it per TID for MSDUs makes more sense than say only per AC because it's symmetric - we could export per-AC statistics for all frames (which AC we used for transmission can be determined also for management frames) but per TID is better and usually data frames are really the ones we care about. Also, on RX we can't determine the AC - but we do know the TID for any QoS MPDU we received. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This is really just duplicating the list of information that's already available in the nl80211 attribute, so remove the list.

In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211. Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"), that can be added if it turns out to be needed. This also gets rid of the get_rssi() method as is can now be implemented using sta_statistics(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can safely be decremented for most drivers. The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid assumption for p54 and cw1200. Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.
