* mac80211: fixes for mesh powersave logicMarco Porsch2013-10-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes errors in the mesh powersave logic which cause that remote peers do not get peer power mode change notifications and mesh peer service periods (MPSPs) got stuck. When closing a peer link, set the (now invalid) peer-specific power mode to 'unknown'. Avoid overhead when local power mode is unchanged. Reliably clear MPSP flags on peering status update. Avoid MPSP flags getting stuck by not requesting a further MPSP ownership if we already are an MPSP owner.

* mac80211: select and adjust bitrates according to channel modeSimon Wunderlich2013-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The various components accessing the bitrates table must use consider the used channel bandwidth to select only available rates or calculate the bitrate correctly. There are some rates in reduced bandwidth modes which can't be represented as multiples of 500kbps, like 2.25 MBit/s in 5 MHz mode. The standard suggests to round up to the next multiple of 500kbps, just do that in mac80211 as well.

* mac80211: fix mesh deadlockThomas Pedersen2013-06-111-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch "cfg80211/mac80211: use cfg80211 wdev mutex in mac80211" introduced several deadlocks by converting the ifmsh->mtx to wdev->mtx. Solve these by: 1. drop the cancel_work_sync() in ieee80211_stop_mesh(). Instead make the mesh work conditional on whether the mesh is running or not. 2. lock the mesh work with sdata_lock() to protect beacon updates and prevent races with wdev->mesh_id_len or cfg80211.

* cfg80211/mac80211: use cfg80211 wdev mutex in mac80211Johannes Berg2013-05-251-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using separate locks in cfg80211 and mac80211 has always caused issues, for example having to unlock in places in mac80211 to call cfg80211, which even needed a framework to make cfg80211 calls after some functions returned etc. Additionally, I suspect some issues people have reported with the cfg80211 state getting confused could be due to such issues, when cfg80211 is asking mac80211 to change state but mac80211 is in the process of telling cfg80211 that the state changed (in another way.)

* mac80211: parse VHT channel switch IEsJohannes Berg2013-04-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg2013-02-151-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

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

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

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Drivers need the station rate info when inserting a new sta_info. The patch "mac80211: refactor mesh peer initialization" wrongly assumed the rate info could be applied after insertion. After further review, this is clearly not the case. This fixes a regression where HT parameters were not applied before inserting the sta_info, causing performance degradation. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: don't set mesh peer ht caps if ht disabledThomas Pedersen2012-04-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Blindly setting ht caps on a mesh peer's station entry would result in MCS rates being used by the rate control algorithm even if no ht had been configured. Fix this by checking the channel type before assigning ht capabilites. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

| | | | | | | | To avoid passing supp_rates and basic_rates around all the time, just derive these when needed in mesh_matches_local() and mesh_peer_init(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
