2014-02-04mac80211: send {ADD,DEL}BA on AC_VO like other mgmt frames, as per specKarl Beldan
ATM, {ADD,DEL}BA and BAR frames are sent on the AC matching the TID of the BA parameters. In the discussion [1] about this patch, Johannes recalled that it fixed some races with the DELBA and indeed this behavior was introduced in [2]. While [2] is right for the BARs, the part queueing the {ADD,DEL}BAs on their BA params TID AC violates the spec and is more a workaround for some drivers. Helmut expressed some concerns wrt such drivers, in particular DELBAs in rt2x00. ATM, DELBAs are sent after a driver has called (hence "purposely") ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe and Johannes and Emmanuel gave some details wrt intentions behind the split of the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP_* given to the driver ampdu_action supposed to call this function, which could prove handy to people trying to do the right thing in faulty drivers (if their fw/hw don't get in their way).

2013-10-28mac80211: implement SMPS for APEmmanuel Grumbach
When the driver requests to move to STATIC or DYNAMIC SMPS, we send an action frame to each associated station and reconfigure the channel context / driver. Of course, non-MIMO stations are ignored. The beacon isn't updated. The association response will include the original capabilities. Stations that associate while in non-OFF SMPS mode will get an action frame right after association to inform them about our current state. Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an action frame before the EAPOL is finished can be an issue for a few clients. Clients aren't likely to send EAPOL frames in MIMO anyway. When the SMPS configuration gets more permissive (e.g. STATIC -> OFF), we don't wake up stations that are asleep We remember that they don't know about the change and send the action frame when they wake up. When the SMPS configuration gets more restrictive (e.g. OFF -> STATIC), we set the TIM bit for every sleeping STA. uAPSD stations might send MIMO until they poll the action frame, but this is for a short period of time.

2013-05-25cfg80211/mac80211: use cfg80211 wdev mutex in mac80211Johannes Berg
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.)

2013-03-06mac80211: fix HT capability overrides for AP stationJohannes Berg
HT capabilites are asymmetric -- e.g. beamforming is both an RX and TX capability. If, for example, we support RX but not TX, the RX capability of the AP station is masked out (if it supports it). This works correctly if it's really the driver capability. If, on the other hand, the reason for not supporting TX BF is that it was removed by HT capability overrides then the wrong thing happens: the AP's TX capability will be removed rather than its RX capability, because the override function works on own capabilities, not remote ones, and doesn't take the asymmetry into account. To fix this make a copy of our own capabilities, apply the overrides to them (where needed) and then use that to set up the peer's capabilities. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-03-06mac80211: don't apply HT overrides to TDLS peersJohannes Berg

2013-02-15mac80211: stop modifying HT SMPS capabilityJohannes Berg

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg
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...)

2012-04-10mac80211: set HT channel before associationJohannes Berg
Changing the channel type during operation is confusing to some drivers and will be hard to handle in multi-channel scenarios. Instead of changing the channel, set it to the right HT channel before authenticating/associating and don't change it -- just update the 20/40 MHz restrictions in rate control as needed when changed by the AP. This also fixes a problem that Paul missed in his fix for the "regulatory makes us deaf" issue -- when we couldn't use 40 MHz we still associated saying we were using 40 MHz, which could in similarly broken APs make us never even connect successfully.

2011-12-06mac80211: Add HT operation modes for IBSSAlexander Simon
The HT mode is set by iw (previous patchsets). The interface is set into the specified HT mode. 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. That means if we are using HT40+ and we add a station running on HT40-, we would transfer at HT20. If we join an IBSS with HT40, but the secondary channel is not available, we will fall back into HT20 as well. Allow frame aggregation to start in IBSS mode.

In order not to harm the system performance and user experience, the device requests not to allow any RX BA session and tear down existing RX BA sessions based on system constraints such as periodic BT activity that needs to limit WLAN activity (eg.SCO or A2DP). In such cases, the intention is to limit the duration of the RX PPDU and therefore prevent the peer device to use A-MPDU aggregation.

This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be done. Due the the previous patches, the annotations are pretty simple. The only thing that this actually changes is removing the RCU usage of key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has a single assignment done before the key even goes live).

During my quest to make mac80211 not have any RCU warnings from sparse, I came across the a-MPDU code again and it wasn't quite clear why it isn't racy. So instead of assigning the tid_tx array with just the spinlock held in ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session use a separate temporary array protected only by the spinlock and protect all assignments to the "live" array by both the spinlock and the mutex so that other code is easily verified to be correct. Due to pointer assignment atomicity I don't think this is a real issue, but I'm not sure, especially on Alpha the current code might be problematic.

2010-06-14mac80211: defer RX agg session teardown to workJohannes Berg
Since we want the code to be able to sleep in the future, it must not be called from the timer directly. To prepare, move it out into the aggregation work. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Move the block-ack session works into common code, since it will be needed for RX agg too in the next patches. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-06-14mac80211: make TX aggregation start/stop request asyncJohannes Berg
When the driver or rate control requests starting or stopping an aggregation session, that currently causes a direct callback into the driver, which could potentially cause locking problems. Also, the functions need to be callable from contexts that cannot sleep, and thus will interfere with making the ampdu_action callback sleeping. To address these issues, add a new work item for each station that will process any start or stop requests out of line. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
