2016-04-06mac80211: enable collecting station statistics per-CPUJohannes Berg
If the driver advertises the new HW flag USE_RSS, make the station statistics on the fast-rx path per-CPU. This will enable calling the RX in parallel, only hitting locking or shared cachelines when the fast-RX path isn't available. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-04-06mac80211: add fast-rx pathJohannes Berg
The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions on the driver are the following: * hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation) * hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption) * hardware/driver did de-duplication * hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation * AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode) * no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode) of which some are actually checked per packet: * de-duplication * PN checking * decryption and additionally packets must * not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device) * be data packets * not be fragmented * be unicast * have RFC 1042 header Additionally dynamically we assume: * no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed * station must be authorized * 4-addr format not enabled Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station "fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast RX path. After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of the data cached in the small fast_rx struct. This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need to be per-CPU still.)

2016-04-06mac80211: fix RX u64 stats consistency on 32-bit platformsJohannes Berg
On 32-bit platforms, the 64-bit counters we keep need to be protected to be consistently read. Use the u64_stats_sync mechanism to do that. In order to not end up with overly long lines, refactor the tidstats assignments a bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-04-06mac80211: fix last RX rate data consistencyJohannes Berg
When storing the last_rate_* values in the RX code, there's nothing to guarantee consistency, so a concurrent reader could see, e.g. last_rate_idx on the new value, but last_rate_flag still on the old, getting completely bogus values in the end. To fix this, I lifted the sta_stats_encode_rate() function from my old rate statistics code, which encodes the entire rate data into a single 16-bit value, avoiding the consistency issue.

2016-04-06mac80211: move averaged values out of rx_statsJohannes Berg
Move the averaged values out of rx_stats and into rx_stats_avg, to cleanly split them out. The averaged ones cannot be supported for parallel RX in a per-CPU fashion, while the other values can be collected per CPU and then combined/selected when needed.

2016-04-06mac80211: count MSDUs in A-MSDU properlyJohannes Berg
For the RX MSDU statistics, we need to count the number of MSDUs created and accepted from an A-MSDU. Right now, all frames in any A-MSDUs were completely ignored. Fix this by moving the RX MSDU statistics accounting into the deliver function. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-04-06mac80211: allow passing transmitter station on RXJohannes Berg
Sometimes drivers already looked up, or know out-of-band from their device, which station transmitted a given RX frame. Allow them to pass the station pointer to mac80211 to save the extra lookup. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2016-03-01mac80211: Fix Public Action frame RX in AP modeJouni Malinen
Public Action frames use special rules for how the BSSID field (Address 3) is set. A wildcard BSSID is used in cases where the transmitter and recipient are not members of the same BSS. As such, we need to accept Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID. Commit db8e17324553 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when operating as AP") added a rule that drops Action frames to TDLS-peers based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID (Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not necessarily match. Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action frame when in AP mode.

2016-03-01mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUsJohannes Berg
Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this security issue and now has the following text: The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1. Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

2016-02-24mac80211: add API to allow filtering frames in BA sessionsSara Sharon
If any frames are dropped that are part of a BA session, the reorder buffer will "indefinitely" (until the timeout) wait for them to come in (or a BAR moving the window) and won't release frames after them. This means it isn't possible to filter frames within a BA session in firmware. Introduce an API function that allows such filtering. Calling this function will move the BA window forward to the new SSN, and allows marking frames after the SSN as having been filtered, so any future reordering activity will release frames while skipping the holes.

Clean up ieee80211_rx_reorder_ready() callers by passing the RX TID struct and the index, instead of the frames list. This will make it more extensible as well. While at it, move the inline to rx.c as it's only used there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-02-24mac80211: fix unnecessary frame drops in mesh fwdingMichal Kazior
The ieee80211_queue_stopped() expects hw queue number but it was given raw WMM AC number instead. This could cause frame drops and problems with traffic in some cases - most notably if driver doesn't map AC numbers to queue numbers 1:1 and uses ieee80211_stop_queues() and ieee80211_wake_queue() only without ever calling ieee80211_wake_queues(). On ath10k it was possible to hit this problem in the following case: 1. wlan0 uses queue 0 (ath10k maps queues per vif) 2. offchannel uses queue 15 3. queues 1-14 are unused 4. ieee80211_stop_queues() 5. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=0) 6. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=15) (other queues are not woken up because both driver and mac80211 know other queues are unused) 7. ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() 8. ieee80211_select_queue_80211() returns 2 9. ieee80211_queue_stopped(q=2) returns true 10. frame is dropped (oops!)

2016-02-24mac80211: allow drivers to report (non-)monitor framesGrzegorz Bajorski
Some drivers offload some frames internally (e.g. AddBa). Reporting such frames to mac80211 would only confuse MLME. However it would be useful to be able to pass such frames to monitor interfaces for sniffing purposes, e.g. when running AP + monitor. To do that allow drivers to tell mac80211 whether a given frame should be: - processed but not delivered to any monitor vif - not processed but delievered to monitor vifs only Signed-off-by: Grzegorz Bajorski <grzegorz.bajorski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-01-14mac80211: add flag for duplication checkSara Sharon

2015-10-21mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structsJohannes Berg
Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated (TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of the struct sta_info. Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it obvious where they belong. This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2015-07-17mac80211: don't store napi structJohannes Berg
When introducing multiple RX queues, a single NAPI struct will not be sufficient. Instead of trying to store multiple, simply change the API to have the NAPI struct passed to the RX function. This of course means that drivers using rx_irqsafe() cannot use NAPI, but that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of all drivers are currently using it at all. While at it, we can now remove the IEEE80211_RX_REORDER_TIMER flag again since this code path cannot have a napi struct anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-07-17mac80211: move ieee80211_get_bssid into RX fileJohannes Berg
This function is only used in the RX code, so moving it into that file gives the compiler better optimisation possibilities and also allows us to remove the check for short frames (which in the RX path cannot happen, but as a generic utility needed to be checked.)

2015-07-17mac80211: remove short frame test and counterJohannes Berg

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.

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.
