After a channel switch, transmission on the new channel is only started once we see a beacon on it. Thus, beacon filtering needs to be disabled during channel switch so that mac80211 receives this beacon and finishes the process. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

We need to call ieee80211_chswitch_done() ourselves just when the absence TE started, so we perform the actual context switch early enough. To do so, add a dummy channel_switch op, which will cause mac80211 to skip the countdown timer and allow us to call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to complete the operation.

Now that mac80211 waits for the first beacon on the new channel before calling post_channel_switch, the reconfiguration of the firmware should be done in the post_channel_switch operation instead of when assigning the vif to the new context. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

Instead of using a hardcoded number of TUs before beacon 0 as the time to start the absence and actual channel switch, calculate it in relation to the beacon interval. We use 10 TUs + beacon interval before beacon 0 to target a bit before beacon 1. This gives us enough time to switch to the new channel before the AP/GO switches.

Add an absent time event when pre_channel_switch is called and use the time event started indication to set the disable_tx bit instead of doing it in unassign_vif(). This is done so that the firmware queues are stopped before the actual switch takes place to avoid losing packets while the AP/GO is performing its actual switch.

Now that all CSA flows are using the switch_vif_chanctx op, we can rely on the switching_chanctx boolean that is passed to the __iwl_mvm_assign_vif_chanctx() and __iwl_mvm_unassign_vif_chanctx() functions to decide whether the context switch flows need to be executed. In this way we make the chanctx switch flow more generic, without having to rely on the csa_active flag being set. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

The spec requires to decrement the CSA counters based on TBTT, regardless if the beacon was actually transmitted. Previously, the fw would send beacon notifications only for successfully transmitted beacons. This behavior resulted in inaccurate CSA countdown. In order to address this issue, the fw was changed to send beacon notifications also for not transmitted beacons. Such notifications have TX_STATUS_INTERNAL_ABORT (0x92). Don't start the CSA countdown before first successfully transmitted beacon, in order to guarantee that the CSA is announced for a required period.

We have code to recover and go back to the original channel context if something fails in the middle of switch_vif_chanctx, but we return the error code of the recover calls instead of the original code, so if the recovery succeeds, we will return 0 (success). Fix this by not assigning the return value of the recovery calls to ret. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

Add support to reassign vif in switch_vif_chanctx. This is similar to the existing CHANCTX_SWMODE_SWAP_CONTEXTS mode, but doesn't delete the old context nor creates a new one, doing to switch between two existing contexts. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

We only need the csa_vif in AP/GO modes, and assigning for other interfaces may cause problems, because csa_vif is never cleared. To prevent this, only assign the value if the iftype is NL80211_IFTYPE_AP. Use a switch to do this, even though, for now, only the AP interface type is handled, because soon other interface types will be added as well. Additionally, convert the WARN() in the error case when a channel-switch is already running to WARN_ONCE(). Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

A new callback has been added to prepare the device for a channel switch. Use the new callback instead of the old channel_switch_beacon operation. This makes it possible to remove the channel_switch_beacon operation from mac80211. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

Maintain a TDLS channel-switch state and update it according to notifications from FW and timeouts. Explicitly check all state transitions are valid. When switching is initiated by mac80211, use a delayed work to periodically reschedule it from iwlwifi. Give the FW mac80211 generated TDLS channel-switch request/response templates. It will change appropriate values (switch timings) and Tx them at appropriate times. Enable the channel switch wiphy capability bit when the FW supports it.

When TDLS peers are present the FW will send packets on a dedicated TID vs. the peer when performing TDLS channel-switches. The driver configures the TID on connection to the peer and the FW is responsible for maintaining the state of QoS seqno and PN/IV for encryption. If the FW asserts, the driver cannot correctly reconfigure the starting seqno/PN to the reloaded FW, thus forcing us to reconnect the peer.

When we pre-populate the skb->head for the stack, we only pull in the 802.11 header including crypto (assuming the packet isn't short enough to be in there completely.) This is fine, but in ieee80211_data_to_8023() we later unconditionally pull 8 more bytes for the SNAP header and ethertype field (except for mesh or 4-addr, where it's even more, but we don't care as much about them). Avoid the additional later pull by pulling in those 8 bytes here.

In the original driver, we decided to not implement WEP RX hardware offload because of a quirk with the firmware API - it allows setting global WEP keys that then get used for all virtual interfaces, which is clearly wrong if more than one exists, and it allows setting per- station keys but then separates multicast and unicast keys. In order to implement WEP RX hardware offload, work around these limitations by uploading each WEP key twice, once as multicast and once as unicast, but point them both to the same key slot (offset) and use the same key material so the slot overwrite on the second upload doesn't actually change anything. Upon removal, also remove the key twice so the station no longer references it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

Add a flow that handles the requests to cancel the roc time event, that has been triggered via the aux framework.

We were toggling the wrong bit when we reset the device, fix that. Moreover, since the reset can take time, we need to wait before we set the rfkill interrupt. Not doing so can be racy since the driver is enabling the rfkill interrupt while the device is resetting which will clear all the registers including the CSR_INT_MASK. This can basically lead to a situation where we don't enable the rfkill interrupt. If that happens, the user will not be able to re-enable the device when de-asserting rfkill.
