* mac80211: fix RX A-MPDU session reorder timer deletionJohannes Berg2015-04-011-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this: * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx) * station is destroyed * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs, accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to the use-after-free The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much more expensive. Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session() returns, which fixes the problem. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: fix offloaded BA session traffic after hw restartMichal Kazior2014-09-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When starting an offloaded BA session it is unknown what starting sequence number should be used. Using last_seq worked in most cases except after hw restart. When hw restart is requested last_seq is (rightfully so) kept unmodified. This ended up with BA sessions being restarted with an aribtrary BA window values resulting in dropped frames until sequence numbers caught up. Instead of last_seq pick seqno of a first Rxed frame of a given BA session. This fixes stalled traffic after hw restart with offloaded BA sessions (currently only ath10k).

* mac80211: add support for Rx reordering offloadingMichal Kazior2014-07-211-23/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some drivers may be performing most of Tx/Rx aggregation on their own (e.g. in firmware) including AddBa/DelBa negotiations but may otherwise require Rx reordering assistance. The patch exports 2 new functions for establishing Rx aggregation sessions in assumption device driver has taken care of the necessary negotiations.

* mac80211: fix Rx reordering with RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MOREMichal Kazior2014-07-211-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some drivers (e.g. ath10k) report A-MSDU subframes individually with identical seqno. The A-MPDU Rx reorder code did not account for that which made it practically unusable with drivers using RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE because it would end up dropping a lot of frames resulting in confusion in upper network transport layers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

HT mode and capabilities are announced in beacons. If we add a station that uses HT also, the fastest matching HT mode will be used for transmission.

In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That way the driver can limit the number of subframes in aggregates appropriately.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new timer, which will release queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT (which is at around 100 ms). The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs to release the old ones, is particularly observable when even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at low network speeds. Previously under these circumstances frames would become stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and gunning the pipes.

* mac80211: change RX aggregation lockingJohannes Berg2010-06-141-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for allowing drivers to sleep in ampdu_action, change the locking in the RX aggregation code to use a mutex, so that it would already allow drivers to sleep. But explicitly disable BHs around the callback for now since the TX part cannot yet sleep, and drivers' locking might require it.

* mac80211: defer RX agg session teardown to workJohannes Berg2010-06-141-14/+10

* mac80211: use RCU for RX aggregationJohannes Berg2010-06-141-38/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we allocate some memory for each RX aggregation session and additionally keep a flag indicating whether or not it is valid. By using RCU to protect the pointer and making sure that the memory is fully set up before it becomes visible to the RX path, we can remove the need for the bool that indicates validity, as well as for locking on the RX path since it is always synchronised against itself, and we can guarantee that all other modifications are done when the structure is not visible to the RX path. The net result is that since we remove locking requirements from the RX path, we can in the future use any kind of lock for the setup and teardown code paths.

| * mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation codeJohannes Berg2010-04-071-27/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and leaking memory under certain circumstances during station destruction. Fix these issues by using the regular aggregation session teardown code and blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the station is really destructed. As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code block to destroy aggregation safely. Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs to keep track of the driver and peer states.

* | include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
