* mac80211: init mesh timer for user authed STAsThomas Pedersen2013-03-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a corner case which wasn't being covered: userspace may authenticate and allocate stations, but still leave the peering up to the kernel. Initialize the peering timer if the MPM is not in userspace, in a path which is taken by both the kernel and userspace when allocating stations.

Also stop printing the llid and plid since these don't change across peering states and are random numbers anyway so they just amount to noise.

* mac80211: clean up mesh HT operationThomas Pedersen2013-02-181-38/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() will clean up the ht_supported flag and station bandwidth field for us if the peer beacon doesn't have an HT capability element (is operating as non-HT). Also, we don't really need a special station ch_width member to track the station operating mode any more so use sta.bandwidth instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | There's various code with strange indentation, questionable loop and locking constructs, etc. The bigger change is moving the "sdata" argument to the first argument of all functions, like all other mac80211 functions that have one.

* mac80211: cache mesh beaconThomas Pedersen2013-02-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the entire mesh beacon would be generated each time the beacon timer fired. Instead generate a beacon head and tail (so the TIM can easily be inserted when mesh power save is on) when starting a mesh or the MBSS parameters change. Also add a mutex for protecting beacon updates and preventing leaks. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* 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...)

* mac80211: consolidate MBSS change notificationThomas Pedersen2013-02-151-15/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | A few mesh utility functions will call ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify(), and then the caller might notify the driver of the same change again. Avoid this redundancy by propagating the BSS changes and generally calling bss_info_change_notify() once per change.

* mac80211: fix mesh sta teardownThomas Pedersen2013-02-111-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch2013-02-041-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mac80211: dynamic short slot time for MBSSsThomas Pedersen2013-01-291-0/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard mandates mesh STAs to set the ERP Short Slot Time capability info bit in beacons to 0. Even though this is their way of disallowing short slot time for mesh STAs, there should be no harm in enabling it if we determine all STAs in the current MBSS support ERP rates.

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.
