mac80211: Move reorder-sensitive TX handlers to after TXQ dequeue

2016-09-30T12:46:57Z

The TXQ intermediate queues can cause packet reordering when more than one flow is active to a single station. Since some of the wifi-specific packet handling (notably sequence number and encryption handling) is sensitive to re-ordering, things break if they are applied before the TXQ. This splits up the TX handlers and fast_xmit logic into two parts: An early part and a late part. The former is applied before TXQ enqueue, and the latter after dequeue. The non-TXQ path just applies both parts at once. Because fragments shouldn't be split up or reordered, the fragmentation handler is run after dequeue. Any fragments are then kept in the TXQ and on subsequent dequeues they take precedence over dequeueing from the FQ structure. This approach avoids having to scatter special cases all over the place for when TXQ is enabled, at the cost of making the fast_xmit and TX handler code slightly more complex.

mac80211: add offset_tsf driver op and use it for mesh

2016-09-30T11:45:44Z

This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in programming absolute TSF. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Add API to report NAN function match

2016-09-30T11:21:57Z

Provide an API to report NAN function match. Mac80211 will lookup the corresponding cookie and report the match to cfg80211. Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Implement add_nan_func and rm_nan_func

2016-09-30T11:21:52Z

Implement add/rm_nan_func functions and handle NAN function termination notifications. Handle instance_id allocation for NAN functions and implement the reconfig flow. Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: implement nan_change_conf

2016-09-30T11:21:43Z

Implement nan_change_conf callback which allows to change current NAN configuration (master preference and dual band operation). Store the current NAN configuration in sdata, so it can be used both to provide the driver the updated configuration with changes and also it will be used in hw reconfig flows in next patches.

mac80211: add boilerplate code for start / stop NAN

2016-09-30T11:21:19Z

This code doesn't do much besides allowing to start and stop the vif. Signed-off-by: Andrei Otcheretianski Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Ayala Beker Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: allow driver to handle packet-loss mechanism

2016-09-15T14:46:20Z

Based on consecutive msdu failures, mac80211 triggers CQM packet-loss mechanism. Drivers like ath10k that have its own connection monitoring algorithm, offloaded to firmware for triggering station kickout. In case of station kickout, driver will report low ack status by mac80211 API (ieee80211_report_low_ack). This flag will enable the driver to completely rely on firmware events for station kickout and bypass mac80211 packet loss mechanism. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove sta_remove_debugfs driver callback

2016-09-15T14:46:19Z

No drivers implement this, relying either on the recursive directory removal to remove their debugfs, or not having any to start with. Remove the dead driver callback. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add support for radiotap timestamp field

2016-09-12T09:45:45Z

Use the existing device timestamp from the RX status information to add support for the new radiotap timestamp field. Currently only 32-bit counters are supported, but we also add the radiotap mactime where applicable. This new field allows more flexibility in where the timestamp is taken etc. The non-timestamp data in the field is taken from a new field in the hw struct. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
