Prepare for the coming implementation by GCC and Clang of the __counted_by attribute. Flexible array members annotated with __counted_by can have their accesses bounds-checked at run-time via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS (for array indexing) and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE (for strcpy/memcpy-family functions). While there, use struct_size() helper, instead of the open-coded version, to calculate the size for the allocation of the whole flexible structure, including of course, the flexible-array member. This code was found with the help of Coccinelle, and audited and fixed manually. Signed-off-by:

Since new criterion released by SRRC (State Radio Regulatory Commission, China) is stricter, we have adjusted TX power limit tables for it. But, due to RTL8821C HW characteristic, we still need to use specific parameter in CCK TX filter when set channel to avoid violations in some corner cases. Signed-off-by:

When frames are sent over the air, the device always applies the data rates in descending order. The driver assumed Minstrel also provided rate in descending order. However, in some cases, Minstrel can a choose a fallback rate greater than the primary rate. In this case, the two rates was inverted, the device try highest rate first and we get many retries. Since the device always applies rates in descending order, the workaround is to drop the rate when it higher than its predecessor in the rate list. Thus [ 4, 5, 3 ] becomes [ 4, 3 ]. This patch has been tested in isolated room with a series of attenuators. Here are the Minstrel statistics with 80dBm of attenuation: Without the fix: best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________ mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts] HT20 LGI 1 S MCS0 0 1477 5.6 5.2 82.7 3 0 0 3 4 HT20 LGI 1 MCS1 1 738 10.6 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 1 HT20 LGI 1 D MCS2 2 492 14.9 13.5 81.5 5 0 0 5 9 HT20 LGI 1 C MCS3 3 369 18.8 17.6 84.3 5 0 0 76 96 HT20 LGI 1 A P MCS4 4 246 25.4 22.4 79.5 5 0 0 11268 14026 HT20 LGI 1 B S MCS5 5 185 30.7 19.7 57.7 5 8 9 3918 9793 HT20 LGI 1 MCS6 6 164 33.0 0.0 0.0 5 0 0 6 102 HT20 LGI 1 MCS7 7 148 35.1 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 44 With the fix: best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________ mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts] HT20 LGI 1 S MCS0 0 1477 5.6 1.8 28.6 1 0 0 1 5 HT20 LGI 1 DP MCS1 1 738 10.6 9.7 82.6 4 0 0 14 34 HT20 LGI 1 MCS2 2 492 14.9 9.2 55.4 5 0 0 52 77 HT20 LGI 1 B S MCS3 3 369 18.8 15.6 74.9 5 1 1 417 554 HT20 LGI 1 A MCS4 4 246 25.4 16.7 59.2 5 1 1 13812 17951 HT20 LGI 1 C S MCS5 5 185 30.7 14.0 41.0 5 1 5 57 640 HT20 LGI 1 MCS6 6 164 33.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 1 0 48 HT20 LGI 1 S MCS7 7 148 35.1 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 36 We can notice the device try now to send with lower rates (and high success rates).

With some conditions, the device is able to send/receive frames during scan operation. So, it is possible to use it implement the "remain on channel" feature. We just ask for a passive scan (without sending any probe request) on one channel. This architecture allows to leverage some interesting features: - if the device is AP, the device switches channel just after the next beacon and the beacons are stopped during the off-channel interval. - if the device is connected, it advertises it is asleep before to switch channel (so the AP should stop to try to send data) Signed-off-by: -

Until now, all the traffic was blocked during scan operation. However, scan operation is going to be used to implement Remain On Channel (ROC). In this case, special frames (marked with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN) must be sent during the operation. These frames need to be sent on the virtual interface #2. Until now, this interface was only used by the device for internal purpose. But since API 3.9, it can be used to send data during scan operation (we hijack the scan process to implement ROC). Thus, we need to change a bit the way we match the frames with the interface. Fortunately, the frames received during the scan are marked with the correct interface number. So there is no change to do on this part. Signed-off-by:

Currently, one scan_lock is associated to each vif. However, concurrent scan on vifs is explicitly prohibited by the device. Currently, scan_lock is associated with a vif but it is always locked with conf_mutex (there is a case where conf_mutex is not associated to scan_lock but scan_lock is tested on all interfaces). So concurrent scan on vifs cannot happen. So, this patch relocate scan_lock to the device and simplify the code. Signed-off-by:

The device ignore the rx filters during the scan operation. wfx_configure_filter() acquires scan_lock to reflect this restriction. However, it is not really necessary since mac80211 don't try to configure Rx filters during scan. However, the things are changing. The scan operation is going to be used to implement remain-on-channel. In this case, wfx_configure_filter() can be called during the scan. Currently, this scenario generate a delay that end with a timeout in the upper layers. For the final user, some scenario of the EasyConnect specification end with a failure. So, avoid acquiring the scan_lock and just return. Signed-off-by:

The WF200 allow to start two network interfaces (one AP, one station) on two different channels. Since magic does not exist, it only works if the station interface enables power save. Thus, the driver detects this case and enforce power save as necessary. This patch fixes the case where the AP interface is stopped and it is no more necessary to enforce power saving on the station interface. Signed-off-by:

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect netdev->name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format strings and dev_info(): | dev_info(&adapter->pdev->dev, | "%s link is up %d Mbps %s\n", | netdev->name, adapter->link_speed, | adapter->link_duplex == FULL_DUPLEX ? | "full duplex" : "half duplex"); Furthermore, NUL-padding is not required as netdev is already zero-initialized through alloc_etherdev(). Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Petr Machata says: ==================== mlxsw: Control the order of blocks in ACL region Amit Cohen writes: For 12 key blocks in the A-TCAM, rules are split into two records, which constitute two lookups. The two records are linked using a "large entry key ID". Due to a Spectrum-4 hardware issue, KVD entries that correspond to key blocks 0 to 5 of 12 key blocks will be placed in the same KVD pipe if they only differ in their "large entry key ID", as it is ignored. This results in a reduced scale, we can insert less than 20k filters and get an error: $ tc -b flower.batch RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error We have an error talking to the kernel To reduce the probability of this issue, we can place key blocks with high entropy in blocks 0 to 5. The idea is to place blocks that are often changed in blocks 0 to 5, for example, key blocks that match on IPv4 addresses or the LSBs of IPv6 addresses. Such placement will reduce the probability of these blocks to be same. Mark several blocks with 'high_entropy' flag and place them in blocks 0 to 5. Note that the list of the blocks is just a suggestion, I will verify it with architects. Currently, there is a one loop that chooses which blocks should be used for a given list of elements and fills the blocks - when a block is chosen, it fills it in the region. To be able to control the order of the blocks, separate between searching blocks and filling them. Several pre-changes are required. Patch set overview: Patch #1 marks several blocks with 'high_entropy' flag. Patches #2-#4 prepare the code for filling blocks at the end of the search. Patch #5 changes the loop to just choose the blocks and fill the blocks at the end. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The previous patches prepared the code to allow separating between choosing blocks and filling blocks. Do not add blocks as part of the loop that chooses them. When all the required blocks are set in the bitmap 'chosen_blocks_bm', start filling blocks. Iterate over the bitmap twice - first add only blocks that are marked with 'high_entropy' flag. Then, fill the rest of the blocks. The idea is to place key blocks with high entropy in blocks 0 to 5. See more details in previous patches. Signed-off-by:

Currently, mlxsw_afk_picker() chooses which blocks will be used for a given list of elements, and fills the blocks during the searching - when a key block is found with most hits, it adds it and removes the elements from the count of hits. This should be changed as we want to be able to choose which blocks will be placed in blocks 0 to 5. To separate between choosing blocks and filling blocks, several pre-changes are required. Currently, the indication of whether all elements were found in the chosen blocks is by the structure 'key_info->elusage'. This structure is updated when block is filled as part of mlxsw_afk_picker_key_info_add(). A following patch will call this function only after choosing all the blocks. Add a bitmap called 'elusage_chosen' to store which elements were chosen in the chosen blocks. Change the condition in the loop to check elements that were chosen, not elements that were already filled in the blocks. Signed-off-by:

Currently, mlxsw_afk_picker() chooses which blocks will be used for a given list of elements, and fills the blocks during the searching - when a key block is found with most hits, it adds it and removes the elements from the count of hits. This should be changed as we want to be able to choose which blocks will be placed in blocks 0 to 5. To separate between choosing blocks and filling blocks, several pre-changes are required. During the search, the structure 'mlxsw_afk_picker' is used per block, it contains how many elements from the required list appear in the block. When a block is chosen and filled, this bitmap of elements is cleaned. To be able to fill the blocks at the end, add a bitmap called 'chosen_element' as part of picker. When a block is chosen, copy the 'element' bitmap to it. Use the new bitmap as part of mlxsw_afk_picker_key_info_add(). So later, when filling the block will be done at the end of the searching, we will use the copied bitmap that contains the elements that should be used in the block. Signed-off-by:

This should be changed as we want to be able to choose which blocks will be placed in blocks 0 to 5. To separate between choosing blocks and filling blocks, several pre-changes are required. The indexes of the chosen blocks should be saved, so then the relevant blocks will be filled at the end of search. Allocate a bitmap for chosen blocks, when a block is found with most hits, set the relevant bit in the bitmap. This bitmap will be used in a following patch. Signed-off-by:

For 12 key blocks in the A-TCAM, rules are split into two records, which constitute two lookups. The two records are linked using a "large entry key ID". Due to a Spectrum-4 hardware issue, KVD entries that correspond to key blocks 0 to 5 of 12 key blocks A-TCAM entries will be placed in the same KVD pipe if they only differ in their "large entry key ID", as it is ignored. This results in a reduced scale. To reduce the probability of this issue, we can place key blocks with high entropy in blocks 0 to 5. The idea is to place blocks that are changed often in blocks 0 to 5, for example, key blocks that match on IPv4 addresses or the LSBs of IPv6 addresses. Such placement will reduce the probability of these blocks to be same. Mark several blocks with 'high_entropy' flag, so later we will take into account this flag and place them in blocks 0 to 5.

Edward Cree says: ==================== sfc: conntrack offload for tunnels This series adds support for offloading TC flower rules which require both connection tracking and tunnel decapsulation. Depending on the match keys required, the left-hand-side rule may go in either the Outer Rule table or the Action Rule table. ==================== Signed-off-by:
