net/mac80211/debugfs.c: prevent build failure with CONFIG_UBSAN=y

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger: BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1); It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code deoptimizations. Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time. We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following: ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with CONFIG_UBSAN. As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of hw_flag_names array. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "David S.

mac80211: allow driver to prevent two stations w/ same address

2015-12-04T13:43:32Z

Some devices or drivers cannot deal with having the same station address for different virtual interfaces, say as a client to two virtual AP interfaces. Rather than requiring each driver with a limitation like that to enforce it, add a hardware flag for it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Conflicts: drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c net/switchdev/switchdev.c In the inet_connection_sock.c case the request socket hashing scheme is completely different in net-next. The other two conflicts were overlapping changes. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mac80211: Fix hwflags debugfs file format

2015-10-13T08:30:56Z

Commit 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap") accidentally removed the newline delimiter from the hwflags debugfs file. Fix this by adding back the newline between the HW flags.

mac80211: Copy tx'ed beacons to monitor mode

2015-09-29T13:56:33Z

When debugging wireless powersave issues on the AP side it's quite helpful to see our own beacons that are transmitted by the hardware/driver. However, this is not that easy since beacons don't pass through the regular TX queues. Preferably drivers would call ieee80211_tx_status also for tx'ed beacons but that's not always possible. Hence, just send a copy of each beacon generated by ieee80211_beacon_get_tim to monitor devices when they are getting fetched by the driver. Also add a HW flag IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS that can be used by drivers to indicate that they report TX status for beacons.

mac80211: allow the driver to advertise A-MSDU within A-MPDU Rx support

2015-09-22T13:21:24Z

Drivers may be interested in receiving A-MSDU within A-MDPU. Not all the devices may be able to do so, make it configurable. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: define TDLS wider BW support bits

2015-07-17T13:38:11Z

Allow a device to specify support for the TDLS wider-bandwidth feature. Indicate this support during TDLS setup in the ext-capab IE and set an appropriate station flag when our TDLS peer supports it. This feature gives TDLS peers the ability to use a wider channel than the base width of the BSS. For instance VHT capable TDLS peers connected on a 20MHz channel can extend the channel to 80MHz, if regulatory considerations allow it. Do not cap the bandwidth of such stations by the current BSS channel width in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove short frame test and counter

2015-07-17T13:37:55Z

Short frames less than 16 octets are already blocked in the monitor code by the should_drop_frame() function, and cannot get into the regular RX path. Therefore, this check can never trigger and the counter invariably stays zero. Remove the useless code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36Z

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly, convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long bitmaps. This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to test the bits, along with new debugfs code. The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

mac80211: remove short slot/short preamble incapable flags

2015-06-02T18:28:58Z

There are no drivers setting IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE or IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE, so any code using the two flags is dead; it's also exceedingly unlikely that any new driver could ever need to set these flags. The wcn36xx code is almost certainly broken, but this preserves the previous behaviour. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
