The GO_CONCURRENT regulatory definition can be extended to station interfaces requesting to IR as part of TDLS off-channel operations. Rename the GO_CONCURRENT flag to IR_CONCURRENT and allow the added use-case. Change internal users of GO_CONCURRENT to use the new definition.

If a P2P GO was allowed on a channel because of the GO concurrent relaxation, i.e., another station interface was associated to an AP on the same channel or the same UNII band, and the station interface disconnected from the AP, allow the following use cases unless the channel is marked as indoor only and the device is not operating in an indoor environment: 1. Allow the P2P GO to stay on its current channel. The rationale behind this is that if the channel or UNII band were allowed by the AP they could still be used to continue the P2P GO operation, and avoid connection breakage. 2. Allow another P2P GO to start on the same channel or another channel that is in the same UNII band as the previous instantiated P2P GO.

Currently, a cipher scheme can advertise an arbitrarily long sequence counter, but mac80211 only supports up to 16 bytes and the initial value from userspace will be truncated. Fix two things: * don't allow the driver to register anything longer than the 16 bytes that mac80211 reserves space for * require userspace to specify a starting value with the correct length (or none at all) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

For ciphers not supported by mac80211, the function currently doesn't return any PN data. Fix this by extending the driver's get_key_seq() a little more to allow moving arbitrary PN data. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT) ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.) In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED. Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only used once in the remaining code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Remove items that can be retrieved through nl80211. This also removes two items (tx_packets and tx_bytes) where only the VO counter was exposed since they are split up per AC but in the debugfs file only the first AC was shown. Also remove the useless "dev" file - the stations have long been in a sub-directory of the netdev so there's no need for that any more. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This counter is unsafe with concurrent TX and is only exposed through debugfs and ethtool. Instead of trying to fix it just remove it for now, if it's really needed then it should be exposed through nl80211 and in a way that drivers that do the fragmentation in the device could support it as well.

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's very little point in maintaining them all the time. However, even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even concurrency safe. Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally not even compiled in. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Currently while associated to an AP and sending a (public) action frame to a different AP on the same channel, the action frame will be sent like a regular tx frame without going off channel. When power save is enabled this can cause problems, since the device can go into power save and miss the response to the action frame that is sent by the other AP. Force off-channel transmission to avoid this issue in case - HW offchannel is used, - the user didn't forbid transmitting frames off channel - the frame is not sent to the AP that we are associated with (if it is we assume the response would be bufferable) Signed-off-by: Matti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> [reword commit message a bit] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When frames time out in the reordering buffer, it is a good indication that something went wrong and the driver may want to know about that to take action or trigger debug flows. It is pointless to notify the driver about each frame that is released. Notify each time the timer fires.

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 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>

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>

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.

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.
