This is useful when creating virtual interfaces. Keeps udev from mucking with things it shouldn't, since the default MAC is never seen by udev when specified on the cmd-line during creation. Signed-off-by:

Kernel will attempt to use the name if it is supplied, but if name cannot be used for some reason, the default phyX name will be used instead. Signed-off-by:

During reconfig the station list is traversed in order and station are added back to the driver. Make sure the stations are added to the driver in the same order they were added to mac80211. This has a real side effect - some drivers (iwlwifi) require TDLS stations to be added only after the AP station for the same network. Signed-off-by:

When displaying a rate through debugfs minstrel_ht guesses its flags comparing group indexes. Since 3ec373c4 ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: include type (cck/ht) in rates flag"), the rate flags of interest are present in the mcs_group-s, so use it. While improving the code, this also fixes a smatch false positive "error: testing array offset 'i' after use" in minstrel_ht_stats_dump. This warning only triggers after 9208247d ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz") with CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT unset because then MINSTREL_VHT_GROUP_0 is above MINSTREL_GROUPS_NB and smatch only barks when the "testing array offset" seems to prevent possible out of bonds accesses (which does not happen here since i < ARRAY_SIZE(mi->groups)).

When a key is tainted during resume, it is no longer programmed into the device; however, it's uploaded flag may (will) be set. Clear the flag when not programming it because it's tainted to avoid attempting to remove it again later. Signed-off-by: -

Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low level driver to implement WMM admission control. The low level driver needs to report the media time used by each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the admission controlled Access Category when the limit is reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored, mac80211 will do so. One issue with this approach is that management frames will also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended to driver- or device-based implementations that are better. Signed-off-by:

There's no reason to ever set invalid CW_min/CW_max to the drivers, we should catch it in higher layers. However, the consequences of setting it wrong can be quite severe, so double-check at a low level and error out for invalid data. Signed-off-by: -

During the review of the corresponding wpa_supplicant patches we noticed that the only way for it to detect that this functionality is supported currently is to check for the command support. This can be misleading though, as the command was also designed to, in the future, support pure 802.11 TSPECs. Expose the WMM-TSPEC feature flag to nl80211 so later we can also expose an 802.11-TSPEC feature flag (if needed) to differentiate the two cases. Note: this change isn't needed in 3.18 as there's no driver there yet that supports the functionality at all. Signed-off-by:

When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'), there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES remains 8. Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only* (default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is supported. Regarding the debugfs stats buffer: It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) after: type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) VHT40/LGI MCS5/2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) Signed-off-by:

ATM, we grep cck rates idx with idx / MCS_GROUP_RATES == MINSTREL_CCK_GROUP. Matching neither-cck-non-ht rates could be done by replacing '==' with '>', however it would be less versatile or explicit. This will allow to match VHT rates with IEEE80211_TX_RC_VHT_MCS. Signed-off-by:

Since 5935839a ("mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by throughput & probability"), the rate indexes are manipulated via u8's and hence allow for a maximum of 256 mcs_group entries in minstrel_mcs_groups. ATM, minstrel_ht advertizes support up to 3HTSS@40MHz, consuming: 8(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)), i.e. 104 entries. Support for 3VHTSS@80MHz will require: 10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)) + 10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*3(BW)), i.e. 130 + 180 entries. This change moves from u8s to u16s where necessary. Signed-off-by:

This showed up as a sparse warning (with higher verbosity) and is certainly correct - the change flags should be unsigned. It's not that important since high flag numbers aren't used and bitwise operations would still work. Signed-off-by: -

The optional NL80211_ATTR_MGMT_SUBTYPE and NL80211_ATTR_REASON_CODE attributes can now be included in NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION to indicate to the driver which frame (Deauthentication/Disassociation) and reason code in that frame should be used to indicate removal to the specific station. This is used by drivers that implement AP SME and generate those frames internally. Signed-off-by:

ATM an HT rc_stats line is 106 chars. Times 8(MCS_GROUP_RATES)*3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW) + CCK(4), i.e. x100, this is well above the current 8192 - sizeof(*ms) currently allocated. Fix this by squeezing the output as follows (not that we're short on memory but this also improves readability and range, the new format adds one more digit to *ok/*cum and ok/cum): - Before (HT) (106 ch): type rate throughput ewma prob this prob retry this succ/attempt success attempts CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0 0 HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0 0 - After (75 ch): type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum) CCK/LP 5.5M 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0) HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0) - Align non-HT format Before (non-HT) (83 ch): rate throughput ewma prob this prob this succ/attempt success attempts ABCDP 6 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0 0 54 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0 0 - After (61 ch): rate tpt eprob *prob *ok(*cum) ok( cum) ABCDP 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0( 0) 54 0.0 0.0 0.0 0( 0) 0( 0) *This also adds dynamic checks for overflow, lowers the size of the non-HT request (allowing > 30 entries) and replaces the buddy-rounded allocations (s/sizeof(*ms) + 8192/8192).

It affects non-(V)HT rates and can lead to selecting an rts_cts rate that is not a basic rate or way superior to the reference rate (ATM rates[0] used for the 1st attempt of the protected frame data). E.g, assuming drivers register growing (bitrate) sorted tables of ieee80211_rate-s, having : - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10100 will select rts_cts idx b'10011 & ~d'(BIT(2)-1), i.e. 1, likewise - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10001 will select rts_cts idx b'10000 The first is not a basic rate and the second is > rates[0]. Also, wrt severity of the addressed misbehavior, ATM we only have one rts_cts_rate_idx rather than one per rate table entry, so this idx might still point to bitrates > rates[1..MAX_RATES].

Add support for new attribute HWSIM_ATTR_DESTROY_RADIO_ON_CLOSE which can be set by the user space component. The attribute will cause the kernel to destroy all those radios that were created by a process if that process dies. The old behaviour i.e., radios are persistent is still the default. Signed-off-by:

Instead of immediately reopening the queues (in case of block_tx), calling the post_channel_switch operation and sending the notification, wait for the first beacon on the new channel. This makes sure that we don't lose packets if the AP/GO is not on the new channel yet. Signed-off-by:

The Extended Channel Switching capability bit in the extended capabilities element must be set if the driver supports CSA on non-beaconing interfaces.
