During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification, and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection. Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.

Since the commit below, cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() will warn if it gets a an NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED iftype as explicitely written in the commit log. When an virtual monitor interface is added, its type is set in ieee80211_sub_if_data.vif.type, but not in ieee80211_sub_if_data.wdev.iftype which is passed to cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required() hence resulting in the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 21265 at net/wireless/chan.c:376 cfg80211_chandef_dfs_required+0xbc/0x130 [cfg80211]() Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 1 PID: 21265 Comm: ifconfig Tainted: G W O 3.13.11+ #12 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

In some cases, when the driver is already using all the channel contexts it can handle at once, we have to do an in-place switch (ie. we cannot afford using an extra context temporarily for the transaction). But some drivers may not support switching the channel context assigned to a vif on the fly (ie. without unassigning and assigning it) while others may only work if the context is changed on the fly, without unassigning it first. To allow these different scenarios, add a new driver operation that let's the driver decide how to handle an in-place switch.

Channels in 2.4GHz band overlap, this means that if we send a probe request on channel 1 and then move to channel 2, we will hear the probe response on channel 2. In this case, the RSSI will be lower than if we had heard it on the channel on which it was sent (1 in this case). The firmware / low level driver can parse the channel in the DS IE or HT IE and compensate the RSSI so that it will still have a valid value even if we heard the frame on an adjacent channel. This can be done up to a certain offset. Add this offset as a configuration for the low level driver. A low level driver that can compensate the low RSSI in this case should assign the maximal offset for which the RSSI value is still valid.

Add get_expected_throughput() API to mac80211 so that each driver can implement its own version based on the RC algorithm they are using (might be using an HW RC algo). The API returns a value expressed in Kbps. Also, add the new get_expected_throughput() member to the rate_control_ops structure in order to be able to query the RC algorithm (this patch provides an implementation of this API for both minstrel and minstrel_ht). The related member in the station_info object is now filled accordingly when dumping a station.

Users may need information about the expected throughput towards a given peer. This value is supposed to consider the size overhead generated by the 802.11 header. This value is exported in kbps through the get_station() API by including it into the station_info object. Moreover, it is sent to user space when replying to the nl80211 GET_STATION command. This information will be useful to the batman-adv module which will use it for its new metric computation.

This also propagates through the drivers. The orinoco driver uses the cfg80211 API structs for internal bookkeeping, and so needs a (void *) cast that removes the const - but that's OK because it allocates those pointers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Make the beacon CSA counters part of ieee80211_mutable_offsets and don't decrement CSA counters when generating a beacon template. This permits the driver to offload the CSA counters handling. Since mac80211 updates the probe responses with the correct counter, the driver should sync the counter's value with mac80211 using ieee80211_csa_update_counter function.

Change the type of NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_BEACON and NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_PRESP to be NLA_BINARY which allows userspace to use beacons and probe responses with multiple CSA counters. This isn't breaking the API since userspace can continue to use nla_put_u16 for this attributes, which is equivalent to a single element u16 array. In addition advertise max number of supported CSA counters. This is needed when using CSA and eCSA IEs together.

It was possible for tx queues to be stuck stopped if AP CSA finalization failed. In that case neither stop_ap nor do_stop woke the queues up. This means it was impossible to perform tx at all until driver was reloaded or a successful CSA was performed later. It was possible to solve this in a simpler manner however this is more robust and future proof (having multi-vif CSA in mind). New sdata->csa_block_tx is introduced to keep track of which interfaces requested tx to be blocked for CSA. This is required because mac80211 stops all tx queues for that purpose. This means queues must be awoken only when last tx-blocking CSA interface is finished. It is still possible to have tx queues stopped after CSA failure but as soon as offending interfaces are stopped from userspace (stop_ap or ifdown) tx queues are woken up properly.
