2013-04-16mac80211: parse VHT channel switch IEsJohannes Berg1-2/+2
VHT introduces multiple IEs that need to be parsed for a wide bandwidth channel switch. Two are (currently) needed in mac80211: * wide bandwidth channel switch element * channel switch wrapper element The former is contained in the latter for beacons and probe responses, but not for the spectrum management action frames so the IE parser needs a new argument to differentiate them.

2013-03-24mac80211: Don't restart sta-timer if not associated.Ben Greear1-1/+2
I found another crash when deleting lots of virtual stations in a congested environment. I think the problem is that the ieee80211_mlme_notify_scan_completed could call ieee80211_restart_sta_timer for a stopped interface that was about to be deleted. With the following patch I am unable to reproduce the crash.

2013-02-15mac80211: cache mesh beaconThomas Pedersen1-3/+151
Previously, the entire mesh beacon would be generated each time the beacon timer fired. Instead generate a beacon head and tail (so the TIM can easily be inserted when mesh power save is on) when starting a mesh or the MBSS parameters change.

2013-02-15mac80211: consolidate MBSS change notificationThomas Pedersen1-1/+1
A few mesh utility functions will call ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify(), and then the caller might notify the driver of the same change again.

2013-02-11mac80211: fix mesh sta teardownThomas Pedersen1-0/+25
The patch "mac80211: clean up mesh sta allocation warning" moved some mesh initialization into a path which is only called when the kernel handles peering. This causes a hang when mac80211 tries to clean up a userspace-allocated station entry and delete a timer which has never been initialized. To avoid this, only do any mesh sta peering teardown if the kernel is actually handling it. The same is true when quiescing before suspend.

2013-02-04mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch1-0/+33
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.

2013-01-29mac80211: dynamic short slot time for MBSSsThomas Pedersen1-5/+0
The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs, there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates. Increases throughput about 20% for legacy rates when enabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-16{cfg,nl,mac}80211: set beacon interval and DTIM period on mesh joinMarco Porsch1-1/+0
Move the default mesh beacon interval and DTIM period to cfg80211 and make them accessible to nl80211. This enables setting both values when joining an MBSS. Previously the DTIM parameter was not set by mac80211 so the driver's default value was used. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: assign bss_conf.bssid only onceJohannes Berg1-0/+3
Instead of checking every time bss_info_changed is called, assign the pointer once depending on the interface type and then leave it untouched until the interface type is changed. This makes the ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify() now a simple wrapper to call the driver only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-03mac80211: track enable_beacon explicitlyJohannes Berg1-0/+3
Instead of calculating in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify() whether beaconing should be enabled or not, set it in the correct places in the callers. This simplifies the logic in this function at the expense of offchannel, but is also more robust. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-11-26mac80211: convert to channel definition structJohannes Berg1-17/+11
Convert mac80211 (and where necessary, some drivers a little bit) to the new channel definition struct. This will allow extending mac80211 for VHT, which is currently restricted to channel contexts since there are no drivers using that which makes it easier. As I also don't care about VHT for drivers not using the channel context API, I won't convert the previous API to VHT support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-10-17mac80211: use channel contextsJohannes Berg1-9/+32
Instead of operating on a single channel only, use the new channel context infrastructure in all mac80211 code. This enables drivers that want to use the new channel context infrastructure to use multiple channels, while nothing should change for all the other drivers that don't support it. Right now this disables both TX power settings and spatial multiplexing powersave. Both need to be re-enabled on a channel context basis. Additionally, when channel contexts are used drop the connection when channel switch is received rather than trying to handle it. This will have to be improved later.

Using local->_oper_channel_type in the mesh code is completely wrong as this value is the combination of the various interface channel types and can be a different value from the mesh interface in case there are multiple virtual interfaces. Use sdata->vif.bss_conf.channel_type instead as it tracks the per-vif channel type. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

2012-08-13mac80211: fix unnecessary beacon update after peering status changeMarco Porsch1-8/+13
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is called everytime a peer link is established or closed, because the accepting_plinks flag in the meshconf IE *might* have changed. With this patch the corresponding functions return the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON flag when a beacon update is necessary. Also it makes mesh_accept_plinks_update the common place to update the accepting_plinks flag. mesh_accept_plinks_update is called upon plink change and also periodically from ieee80211_mesh_housekeeping.

2012-08-01mac80211: clear timer bits when disconnectingJohannes Berg1-0/+2
