Johannes Berg 05cb910857 mac80211: disable powersave for broken APs
Only AID values 1-2007 are valid, but some APs have been
found to send random bogus values, in the reported case an
AP that was sending the AID field value 0xffff, an AID of
0x3fff (16383).

There isn't much we can do but disable powersave since
there's no way it can work properly in this case.

Eliad Peller eaa7af2ae5 mac80211: fix remain_off_channel regression
The offchannel code is currently broken - we should
remain_off_channel if the work was started, and
the work's channel and channel_type are the same
as local->tmp_channel and local->tmp_channel_type.

However, if wk->chan_type and local->tmp_channel_type
coexist (e.g. have the same channel type), we won't
remain_off_channel.

This behavior was introduced by commit da2fd1f
("mac80211: Allow work items to use existing
channel type.")

Johannes Berg d5294971f1 mac80211: dont orphan TX skb
This was another workaround for truesize "bugs".
The reason we did this was that when we orphaned
the SKB it wouldn't be truesize-checked later.
Now that the check is gone (and we just charge
the former smaller size to the socket) there's
no longer a reason to orphan the skb here.

Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is
really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This
helps flow control and allows us to get at the
socket later for other purposes.

There's no need to adjust truesize.

The history of this was that we always ran into
skb_truesize_bug (via skb_truesize_check) which

skb_truesize_check() checked that truesize  was
bigger or equal to the actual allocation, which
would trigger in mac80211 due to header adding.

Rajkumar Manoharan b6f35301ef mac80211: Send nullfunc frames at lower rate during connection monitor
Recently mac80211 was changed to use nullfunc instead of probe
request for connection monitoring for tx ack status reporting
hardwares. Sometimes in congested network, STA got disconnected
quickly after the association. It was observered that the rate
control was not adopted to environment due to minimal transmission.

As the nullfunc are used for monitoring purpose, these frames should
not be sacrificed for rate control updation. So it is better to send
the monitoring null func frames at minimum rate that could help to
retain the connection.

Johannes Berg 37fbd90800 mac80211: allow out-of-band EOSP notification
iwlwifi has a separate EOSP notification from
the device, and to make use of that properly
it needs to be passed to mac80211. To be able
to mix with tx_status_irqsafe and rx_irqsafe
it also needs to be an "_irqsafe" version in
the sense that it goes through the tasklet,
the actual flag clearing would be IRQ-safe
but doing it directly would cause reordering
issues.

This is needed in the case of a P2P GO going
into an absence period without transmitting
any frames that should be driver-released as
in this case there's no other way to inform
mac80211 that the service period ended. Note
that for drivers that don't use the _irqsafe
functions another version of this function
will be required.

iwlwifi needs to know the number of frames that are

Before uAPSD, we got by by telling the device that

uAPSD, however, that is no longer possible since
there could be more than a single frame.

To support this model, add a new callback to notify

Johannes Berg deeaee197b mac80211: reply only once to each PS-poll
If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
there is no way to detect that since it has no
sequence number. As a consequence, the standard
asks us to not react to PS-poll frames until the
response to one made it out (was ACKed or lost).

Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to
also indicate a PS-Poll "service period" and the
IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag for the response
packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.

We could use separate flags, but that will most
likely completely confuse drivers, and while the
standard doesn't exclude simultaneously polling
using uAPSD and PS-Poll, doing that seems quite
problematic.

Add uAPSD support to mac80211. This is probably not
possible with all devices, so advertising it with
the cfg80211 flag will be left up to drivers that

Due to my previous patches it is now a fairly
straight-forward extension. Drivers need to have
accurate TX status reporting for the EOSP frame.
For drivers that buffer themselves, the provided
APIs allow releasing the right number of frames,
but then drivers need to set EOSP and more-data
themselves. This is documented in more detail in

Johannes Berg 4049e09acd mac80211: allow releasing driver-buffered frames
If there are frames for a station buffered in
the driver, mac80211 announces those in the TIM
IE but there's no way to release them. Add new
API to release such frames and use it when the
station polls for a frame.

Since the API will soon also be used for uAPSD
it is easily extensible.

Note that before this change drivers announcing
driver-buffered frames in the TIM bit actually
will respond to a PS-Poll with a potentially
lower priority frame (if there are any frames
buffered in mac80211), after this patch a driver
that hasn't been changed will no longer respond
at all. This only affects ath9k, which will need
to be fixed to implement the new API.

The more likely case is maybe where the station woke

station, these won't be on the ps_tx_buf queue but
on the tx_filtered queue instead; this is done to
avoid reordering.

However, mac80211 will not expire frames from the
filtered queue, let's fix that.

Also add a more comments to what all this expiry is
doing and how it works.

Johannes Berg c868cb35d0 mac80211: unify TIM bit handling
Currently, the TIM bit for a given station is set
and cleared all over the place. Since the logic to
set/clear it will become much more complex when we
add uAPSD support, as a first step let's collect
the entire logic in one place. This requires a few
small adjustments to other places.

Johannes Berg 042ec45337 mac80211: let drivers inform it about per TID buffered frames
For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.

For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.

ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.

Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

Arik Nemtsov 941c93cd03 mac80211: data path modification for TDLS peers
Mark the STA entries of enabled TDLS peers with a new "peer authorized"
flag.

During link setup, allow special TDLS setup frames through the AP, but
otherwise drop all packets destined to the peer. This is required by the
TDLS (802.11z) specification in order to prevent reordering of MSDUs
between the AP and direct paths.

When setup completes and the peer is authorized, send data directly,
bypassing the AP.

In the Rx path, allow data to be received directly from TDLS peers.

Arik Nemtsov 07ba55d7f1 nl80211/mac80211: allow adding TDLS peers as stations
When adding a TDLS peer STA, mark it with a new flag in both nl80211 and
mac80211. Before adding a peer, make sure the wiphy supports TDLS and
our operating mode is appropriate (managed).

In addition, make sure all peers are removed on disassociation.

A TDLS peer is first added just before link setup is initiated. In later
setup stages we have more info about peer supported rates, capabilities,
etc. This info is reported via nl80211_set_station().

Arik Nemtsov dfe018bf99 mac80211: handle TDLS high-level commands and frames
Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions.

Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate
local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by
usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame,
or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or
through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification.

Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This
tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the
kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.

Johannes Berg 3b9ce80ce9 cfg80211/mac80211: apply station uAPSD parameters selectively
Currently, when hostapd sets the station as authorized
we also overwrite its uAPSD parameter. This obviously
leads to buggy behaviour (later, with my patches that
actually add uAPSD support). To fix this, only apply
those parameters if they were actually set in nl80211,
and to achieve that add a bitmap of things to apply.

I noticed a possible issue in the max_tp_rate2 management of
minstrel_ht. In particular, if we look up just among max_tp_rate2 of
each group it will be possible that the selected rate will not be the
mcs with second maximum throughput. I wrote this simple patch.
