2024-02-08wifi: mac80211: simplify non-chanctx driversJohannes Berg
There are still surprisingly many non-chanctx drivers, but in mac80211 that code is a bit awkward. Simplify this by having those drivers assign 'emulated' ops, so that the mac80211 code can be more unified between non-chanctx/chanctx drivers. This cuts the number of places caring about it by about 15, which are scattered across - now they're fewer and no longer in the channel context handling.

We'll use bss_conf for per-link configuration later, so move out all the non-link-specific data out into a new struct ieee80211_vif_cfg used in the vif. Some adjustments were done with the following spatch: @@ expression sdata; struct ieee80211_vif *vifp; identifier var = { assoc, ibss_joined, aid, arp_addr_list, arp_addr_cnt, ssid, ssid_len, s1g, ibss_creator }; @@ ( -sdata->vif.bss_conf.var +sdata->vif.cfg.var | -vifp->bss_conf.var +vifp->cfg.var ) @bss_conf@ struct ieee80211_bss_conf *bss_conf; identifier var = { assoc, ibss_joined, aid, arp_addr_list, arp_addr_cnt, ssid, ssid_len, s1g, ibss_creator }; @@ -bss_conf->var +vif_cfg->var (though more manual fixups were needed, e.g. replacing "vif_cfg->" by "vif->cfg." in many files.)

2022-04-11mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO supportSriram R
Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented using sta_info datastructure with the associated STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta part of it. With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level communication can happen via different advertised links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class, BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link STA parameters within a composite sta_info object called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of MLD STA are identified using the link address which can be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique link id based on the link vif. To support extension of such a model, the sta_info datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA objects with link specific params currently within sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial driver changes are expected to support this. For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink' member. For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to get the correct link ID and access the correct part of the station info. Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id being 0 for non MLO supported cases. Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the link STA info via deflink. @ieee80211_sta@ struct ieee80211_sta *s; struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr}; @@ ( s-> - var + deflink.var | si->sta. - var + deflink.var ) @sta_info@ struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {gtk, pcpu_rx_stats, rx_stats, rx_stats_avg, status_stats, tx_stats, cur_max_bandwidth}; @@ ( si-> - var + deflink.var ) Signed-off-by: Sriram R <quic_srirrama@quicinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1649086883-13246-1-git-send-email-quic_srirrama@quicinc.com [remove MLO-drivers notes from commit message, not clear yet; run spatch] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Note, that this 'bitmap_zalloc()' divides by BITS_PER_LONG the amount of memory allocated. The 'roundup()' used to computed the number of needed long should have been a DIV_ROUND_UP. Also change the corresponding 'kfree()' into 'bitmap_free()' to keep consistency. Use 'bitmap_zero()' to avoid hand writing it.

2019-10-04mac80211: simplify TX aggregation startJohannes Berg
There really is no need to make drivers call the ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() function and then schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit. Add a new return value (that was previously considered invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.

This patch removes the error branch for (queue > ar->hw->queues). It is no longer needed anymore as the "queue" value is validated by cfg80211's parse_txq_params() before the driver code gets called. Some background: In the old days (linux 2.6 and early 3.x), the parse_txq_params() function did not verify the "queue" value. That's why these drivers had to do it.

2018-06-12treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()Kees Cook
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

2013-08-21mac80211: add a flag to indicate CCK support for HT clientsFelix Fietkau
brcm80211 cannot handle sending frames with CCK rates as part of an A-MPDU session. Other drivers may have issues too. Set the flag in all drivers that have been tested with CCK rates. This fixes a reported brcmsmac regression introduced in commit ef47a5e4f1aaf1d0e2e6875e34b2c9595897bef6 "mac80211/minstrel_ht: fix cck rate sampling" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.10 Reported-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-06-13carl9170: add support for the new rate control APIChristian Lamparter
With the new rate control API, the driver can now apply the tx rate to outgoing frames just before they are uploaded to the device. This is important because the rate control can now react to fading or improving links a bit sooner. Also, the driver no longer needs to sort the outgoing frames for sample attempts (which affected the size of A-MPDUs and the throughput of the link). For aggregated data frames, the driver (and rate control) needs only to calculate and apply a single set of tx rates to every subframe of the whole aggregate.

2013-03-27carl9170: remove fast channel change featureChristian Lamparter
Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device: "I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)" <http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113> The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and really only fully debugged on some very later chips." <http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380> Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature. The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

2013-03-18mac80211: pass queue bitmap to flush operationJohannes Berg
There are a number of situations in which mac80211 only really needs to flush queues for one virtual interface, and in fact during this frames might be transmitted on other virtual interfaces. Calculate and pass a queue bitmap to the driver so it knows which queues to flush. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-01-31mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_periodEmmanuel Grumbach
Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period, mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association. This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the association, if they get it at all. To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM becomes known. This might be when changing to associated, or later when the entire association was done with only probe response information. Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period now, just not before association.

The reg_notifier()'s return value need not be checked as it is only supposed to do post regulatory work and that should never fail.

2013-01-03mac80211: split TX aggregation stop actionJohannes Berg
When TX aggregation is stopped, there are a few different cases: - connection with the peer was dropped - session stop was requested locally - session stop was requested by the peer - connection was dropped while a session is stopping The behaviour in these cases should be different, if the connection is dropped then the driver should drop all frames, otherwise the frames may continue to be transmitted, aggregated in the case of a locally requested session stop or unaggregated in the case of the peer requesting session stop. Split these different cases so that the driver can act accordingly; however, treat local and remote stop the same way and ask the driver to not send frames as aggregated packets any more. In the case of connection drop, the stop callback the driver is otherwise supposed to call is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
