In 'net' we added a bug fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next. In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that logic was used. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2012-04-30mac80211: fix AP mode EAP tx for VLAN stationsFelix Fietkau
EAP frames for stations in an AP VLAN are sent on the main AP interface to avoid race conditions wrt. moving stations. For that to work properly, sta_info_get_bss must be used instead of sta_info_get when sending EAP packets. Previously this was only done for cooked monitor injected packets, so this patch adds a check for tx->skb->protocol to the same place.

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.

2012-04-11mac80211: add explicit monitor interface if neededJohannes Berg
The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do will break pure injection unless we handle monitor interfaces explicitly. One possible option would be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API since we already need to have queue assignments handled per virtual interface. So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor interface that is added whenever all active vifs are monitors. We could also use the state of one of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would be complicated, so allocate separate state.

2012-04-10mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization frameworkJavier Cardona
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev <pavel.zubarev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.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.

2012-03-12mac80211: Limit TID buffering during BA session setup/teardownHelmut Schaa
While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of- memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in process context while frames can still come via softirq.

2011-12-15mac80211: refactor station state transitionsJohannes Berg
Station entries can have various states, the most important ones being auth, assoc and authorized. This patch prepares us for telling the driver about these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with strange transitions, so with this we enforce that they move in the right order between them (back and forth); some transitions might happen before the driver even knows about the station, but at least runtime transitions will be ordered correctly. As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case in TX processing. When freeing a station, unwind the state so that other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely on the transitions. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2011-11-28mac80211: fix TX warningJohannes Berg
Emmanuel reported that my previous patches to enable handing all fragments to drivers at once triggered the warning that the SKB queue wasn't empty. This is happening when we actually queue up some frames and don't hand them to the driver (queues are stopped). The reason for it is that my code that splices the frame(s) over to the pending queue didn't re-init the local queue, so skb_queue_empty() was false. Fix this by using the _init versions of the splicing. Also, convert the warning to WARN_ON_ONCE.

2011-11-28mac80211: timeout tx agg sessions in way similar to rx agg sessionsNikolay Martynov
Currently tx aggregation is not being timed out even if timeout is specified when aggregation is opened. Tx tid stays active until delba arrives from recipient (i.e. recipient times out tid when it is inactive). The problem with this approach is that delba can get lost in the air and tx tid will stay perpetually opened on the originator while closed on recipient thus all data sent via this tid will be lost.

All others are not encrypted, so the only way to get to this is erroneously on no-monitor AP side. Remove the special case for authentication frames to fix the AP shared key side when operating without cooked monitor interfaces -- with cooked monitor the IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT also gets set, so we never get here -- an AP never encrypts auth frames.
