When we receive a BAR, this typically means that our peer doesn't hear our Block-Acks or that we can't hear its frames. Either way, it is a good indication that the link is in a bad condition. This is why it can serve as a probe to the driver. Use the event_callback callback for this. Since more events with the same data will be added in the feature, the structure that describes the data attached to the event is called in a generic name: ieee80211_ba_event. This also means that from now on, the event_callback can't sleep. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

HT and VHT override configurations were ignored during association and applied only when first beacon recived, or not applied at all. Fix the code to apply HT/VHT overrides during association. This is a bit tricky since the channel was already configured during authentication and we don't want to reconfigure it unless there's really a change.

wpa_supplicant or authsae handles the mesh peering in user space, but the plink state is still managed in kernel space. Currently, there is no implementation by wpa_supplicant or authsae to block the plink state after it is set to ESTAB. By applying this patch, we can use the "iw mesh0 station set <MAC address> plink_action block" to block the peer mesh STA. This is useful for experimenting purposes.

This isn't all that relevant for RX right now, but TX can be concurrent due to multi-queue and the accounting is therefore broken. Use the standard per-CPU statistics to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if the hardware (or driver) supports it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for that being possible.) However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize(). Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the code in mac80211 at all anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the checksum to be calculated already. In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it once before the regular TX processing. Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases. For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting frames with a bad checksum.

When crypto is offloaded then in some cases it's all handled by the device, and in others only some space for the IV must be reserved in the frame. Handle both of these cases in the fast-xmit path, up to a limit of 18 bytes of space for IVs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

If the driver handles fragmentation then it wouldn't be done in software so we can still use the fast-xmit path in that case. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Johannes Berg authored
For hwsim, the duration field in frames is already not valid for the common case of HT/VHT MCSes, so there's little point in trying to keep it accurate for the legacy rates. Enable the fast-xmit code to allow testing that, although given the dependency on hardware crypto it will only be enabled in open network configurations.

Johannes Berg authored
In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache. There's also a more detailed description in the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms. In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an update and other data access are run concurrently, for example when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this can cause firmware crashes. Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult, just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal data structures the algorithms maintain. I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the client. With this change, the system survives this test. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

The mesh plink code uses sta->lock to serialize access to the plink state fields between the peer link state machine and the peer link timer. Some paths (e.g. those involving mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed. Add a new spinlock just for plink access.

The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices. It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor. Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well for the nohz_full cores in question. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>
