2017-03-06mac80211: Use setup_timer instead of init_timerOndřej Lysoněk
Use setup_timer() and setup_deferrable_timer() to set the data and function timer fields. It makes the code cleaner and will allow for easier change of the timer struct internals.

2016-09-15mac80211: reject TSPEC TIDs (TSIDs) for aggregationJohannes Berg
Since mac80211 doesn't currently support TSIDs 8-15 which can only be used after QoS TSPEC negotiation (and not even after WMM negotiation), reject attempts to set up aggregation sessions for them, which might confuse drivers. In mac80211 we do correctly handle that, but the TSIDs should never get used anyway, and drivers might not be able to handle it.

2016-06-09mac80211: implement fair queueing per txqMichal Kazior
mac80211's software queues were designed to work very closely with device tx queues. They are required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation easily and efficiently. Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness. This change doesn't translate directly to immediate and significant gains. End result depends on driver's induced latency. Best results can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

2016-04-06mac80211: add A-MSDU tx supportFelix Fietkau
Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only supported for debugging purposes. To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

Currently mac80211 does not inform the driver of the session block ack timeout when starting a rx aggregation session. Drivers that manage the reorder buffer need to know this parameter.

2015-06-10mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmapJohannes Berg
As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

2015-04-01mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

2015-03-30mac80211: reject aggregation sessions with non-HT peersJohannes Berg
If a peer or some local agent (rate control, ...) decides to start an aggregation session but doesn't support HT (which also implies QoS), reject it. This is mostly a corner case as such peers normally won't try to use block-ack sessions and rate control wouldn't start them, but technically QoS stations could request it according to the spec. However, since drivers don't really support such non-HT sessions it's better to reject them. Also, while at it, move the tracing for TX sessions earlier so it captures the error cases as well.

2015-03-30mac80211: agg-tx: avoid sending DelBA with sta->lock heldJohannes Berg
The rate control locking caused a potential deadlock here due to the locks being acquired in different orders, so that change cannot yet be applied. However, there's no fundamental reason for this code to hold the sta->lock while transmitting frames. Clearly it's better not to hold the lock for longer periods of time, which can happen here since we call all the way down to the driver. Change the code a bit to not hold it while doing that.

2014-11-19mac80211: synchronously reserve TID per stationLiad Kaufman
In TDLS (e.g., TDLS off-channel) there is a requirement for some drivers to supply an unused TID between the AP and the device to the FW, to allow sending PTI requests and to allow the FW to aggregate on a specific TID for better throughput. To ensure that the allocated TID is indeed unused, this patch introduces an API for blocking the driver from TXing on that TID.

2014-10-22mac80211: add WMM admission control supportJohannes Berg
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.

2014-06-23mac80211: introduce refcount for queue_stop_reasonsLuciano Coelho
Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch). Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds a refcount instead.

2014-02-04mac80211: send {ADD,DEL}BA on AC_VO like other mgmt frames, as per specKarl Beldan
ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

2013-01-24mac80211: fix aggregation state with current driversJohannes Berg
For drivers that don't actually flush their queues when aggregation stop with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH or IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH_CONT reasons is done, like iwlwifi or iwlegacy, mac80211 can then transmit on a TID that the driver still considers busy. This happens in the following way: - IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_FLUSH requested - driver marks TID as emptying - mac80211 removes tid_tx data, this can copy packets to the TX pending queues and also let new packets through to the driver - driver gets unexpected TX as it wasn't completely converted to the new API In iwlwifi, this lead to the following warning: WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/tx.c:442 iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 Tx while agg.state = 4 Modules linked in: [...] Pid: 0, comm: kworker/0:0 Tainted: G W 3.1.0 #1 Call Trace: [<c1046e42>] warn_slowpath_common+0x72/0xa0 [<c1046f13>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x40 [<fddffa17>] iwlagn_tx_skb+0xc47/0xce0 [iwldvm] [<fddfcaa3>] iwlagn_mac_tx+0x23/0x40 [iwldvm] [<fd8c98b6>] __ieee80211_tx+0xf6/0x3c0 [mac80211] [<fd8cbe00>] ieee80211_tx+0xd0/0x100 [mac80211] [<fd8cc176>] ieee80211_xmit+0x96/0xe0 [mac80211] [<fd8cc578>] ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x348/0xc80 [mac80211] [<c1445207>] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x337/0x6d0 [<c145eee9>] sch_direct_xmit+0xa9/0x210 [<c14462c0>] dev_queue_xmit+0x1b0/0x8e0 Fortunately, solving this problem is easy as the station is being destroyed, so such transmit packets can only happen due to races. Instead of trying to close the race just let the race not reach the drivers by making two changes: 1) remove the explicit aggregation session teardown in the managed mode code, the same thing will be done when the station is removed, in __sta_info_destroy. 2) When aggregation stop with AGG_STOP_DESTROY_STA is requested, leave the tid_tx data around as stopped. It will be cleared and freed in cleanup_single_sta later, but until then any racy packets will be put onto the tid_tx pending queue instead of transmitted which is fine since the station is being removed.

2013-01-03mac80211: split TX aggregation stop actionJohannes Berg
When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few different cases: - connection with the peer was dropped - session stop was requested locally - session stop was requested by the peer - connection was dropped while a session is stopping The behaviour in these cases should be different, if the connection is dropped then the driver should drop all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of the peer requesting session stop. Split these different cases so that the driver can act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as aggregated packets any more. In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-04-11mac80211: add improved HW queue controlJohannes Berg
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue is full and then try to send an off-channel frame the frame will never go out. This will become worse when we support multi-channel since then a queue on one channel might be full, but we have to stop the software queue for all channels. That is obviously not desirable. To address this problem allow drivers to register more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue the corresponding AC software queues on the correct interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally, there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This allows drivers to manage software queues closer to how the hardware works. Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues. This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it as needed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-09mac80211: optimize aggregation session timeout handlingFelix Fietkau
Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the timeout doesn't need to be so precise. Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp. Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems running on battery. This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded systems.

When a station leaves suddenly while ampdu traffic to that station is still running, there is a possibility that the ampdu pending queues are not freed due to a race condition leading to memory leaks. In '__sta_info_destroy' when we attempt to destroy the ampdu sessions in 'ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions', the driver calls 'ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe' to delete the ampdu structures (tid_tx) and splice the pending queues and this job gets queued in sdata workqueue. However, the sta entry can get destroyed before the above work gets scheduled and hence the race. Purging the queues and freeing the tid_tx to avoid the leak. The better solution would be to fix the race, but that can be taken up in a separate patch.

2011-12-07mac80211: fix another race in aggregation startJohannes Berg
Emmanuel noticed that when mac80211 stops the queues for aggregation that can leave a packet pending. This packet will be given to the driver after the AMPDU callback, but as a non-aggregated packet which messes up the sequence number etc. I also noticed by looking at the code that if packets are being processed while we clear the WANT_START bit, they might see it cleared already and queue up on tid_tx->pending. If the driver then rejects the new aggregation session we leak the packet. Fix both of these issues by changing this code to not stop the queues at all. Instead, let packets queue up on the tid_tx->pending queue instead of letting them get to the driver, and add code to recover properly in case the driver rejects the session.

2011-11-28mac80211: fix race between the AGG SM and the Tx data pathEmmanuel Grumbach
When a packet is supposed to sent be as an a-MPDU, mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU to let the driver know. On the other hand, mac80211 configures the driver for aggregration with the ampdu_action callback. There is race between these two mechanisms since the following scenario can occur when the BA agreement is torn down: Tx softIRQ drv configuration ========== ================= check OPERATIONAL bit Set the TX_CTL_AMPDU bit in the packet clear OPERATIONAL bit stop Tx AGG Pass Tx packet to the driver. In that case the driver would get a packet with TX_CTL_AMPDU set although it has already been notified that the BA session has been torn down. To fix this, we need to synchronize all the Qdisc activity after we cleared the OPERATIONAL bit. After that step, all the following packets will be buffered until the driver reports it is ready to get new packets for this RA / TID. This buffering allows not to run into another race that would send packets with TX_CTL_AMPDU unset while the driver hasn't been requested to tear down the BA session yet. This race occurs in practice and iwlwifi complains with a WARN_ON when it happens.

2011-11-28mac80211: don't stop a single aggregation session twiceJohannes Berg
Nikolay noticed (by code review) that mac80211 can attempt to stop an aggregation session while it is already being stopped. So to fix it, check whether stop is already being done and bail out if so. Also move setting the STOPPING state into the lock so things are properly atomic.

2011-10-31net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modulesPaul Gortmaker
These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence of module.h from everywhere. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-09-30mac80211: optimise station flagsJohannes Berg
The flaglock in struct sta_info has long been something that I wanted to get rid of, this finally does the conversion to atomic bitops. The conversion itself is straight-forward in most places, a few things needed to change a bit since we can no longer use multiple bits at the same time. On x86-64, this is a fairly significant code size reduction: text data bss dec hex 427861 23648 1008 452517 6e7a5 before 425383 23648 976 450007 6ddd7 after Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
