71f2c3470f mac80211: End the MPSP even if EOSP frame was not acked
If QoS frame with EOSP (end of service period) subfield=1 sent by local
peer was not acked by remote peer, local peer did not end the MPSP. This
prevents local peer from going to DOZE state. And if the remote peer
goes away without closing connection, local peer continues AWAKE state
and wastes battery.

b8da6b6a99 mac80211: add separate last_ack variable
Instead of touching the rx_stats.last_rx from the status path, introduce
and use a status_stats.last_ack variable. This will make rx_stats.last_rx
indicate when the last frame was received, making it available for real
"last_rx" and statistics gathering; statistics, when done per-CPU, will
need to figure out which place was updated last for those items where the
"last" value is exposed.

da629cf111 mac80211: Don't buffer non-bufferable MMPDUs
Non-bufferable MMPDUs are sent out to STAs even while in PS mode
(for example probe responses). Applying filtered frame handling for
these doesn't seem to make much sense and will only create more
air utilization when the STA wakes up. Hence, apply filtered frame
handling only for bufferable MMPDUs.

Discovered while testing an old VOIP phone that started probing
for APs while in PS mode. The mac80211/ath9k AP where the STA is
associated would reply with a probe response but the phone sometimes
moved to a new channel already and couldn't ack the probe response
anymore. In that case mac80211 applied filtered frame handling
for the un-acked probe response.

e5a9f8d046 mac80211: move station statistics into sub-structs
Group station statistics by where they're (mostly) updated
(TX, RX and TX-status) and group them into sub-structs of
the struct sta_info.

Also rename the variables since the grouping now makes it
obvious where they belong.

This makes it easier to identify where the statistics are
updated in the code, and thus easier to think about them.

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

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.

pretty much only by wpa_supplicant, this is still not great; even

With the recent change to make mac80211 create an ack_skb for the

needs to also allocate an ack_skb, and we can store the cookie in

As TX SKBs could be encrypted, at least in the case of ANQP
while associated with the AP, copy the original SKB, store
it with an ACK frame ID and restructure the status path to
use that to return status with the original SKB. Otherwise,
userspace (in particular wpa_supplicant) will get confused.

7bedd0cfad mac80211: use rhashtable for station table
We currently have a hand-rolled table with 256 entries and are
using the last byte of the MAC address as the hash. This hash
is obviously very fast, but collisions are easily created and
we waste a lot of space in the common case of just connecting
as a client to an AP where we just have a single station. The
other common case of an AP is also suboptimal due to the size
of the hash table and the ease of causing collisions.

Convert all of this to use rhashtable with jhash, which gives
us the advantage of a far better hash function (with random
perturbation to avoid hash collision attacks) and of course
that the hash table grows and shrinks dynamically with chain
length, improving both cases above.

Use a specialised hash function (using jhash, but with fixed
length) to achieve better compiler optimisation as suggested
by Sergey Ryazanov.

Revert commit ad38bfc916 ("mac80211: Tx frame latency statistics")
(along with some follow-up fixes).

This code turned out not to be as useful in the current form as we
thought, and we've internally hacked it up more, but that's not
very suitable for upstream (for now), and we might just do that
with tracing instead.

Therefore, for now at least, remove this code. We might also need
to use the skb->tstamp field for the TCP performance issue, which
is more important than the debugging.

Since multicast frames are marked as no-ack, using
IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK to check if they have been
successfully transmitted by the driver is incorrect
since a driver can choose to ignore transmission status

for such frames.

02219b3abc mac80211: add WMM admission control support
Use the currently existing APIs between mac80211 and the low
level driver to implement WMM admission control.

The low level driver needs to report the media time used by
each transmitted packet in ieee80211_tx_status. Based on that
information, mac80211 will modify the QoS parameters of the
admission controlled Access Category when the limit is
reached. Once the original QoS parameters can be restored,
mac80211 will do so.

One issue with this approach is that management frames will
also erroneously be downgraded, but the upside is that the
implementation is simple. In the future, it can be extended
to driver- or device-based implementations that are better.

687da13223 mac80211: implement SMPS for AP
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.

3f52b7e328 mac80211: mesh power save basics
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.

1672c0e319 mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status
When sending authentication/association frames they
might take a bit of time to go out because we may
have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in
the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case
the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too
short if the beacon interval is relatively large.

For drivers that report TX status we can do better.
Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it
only when the frame status arrives. Since then the
frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the
typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait
100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted
try again right away instead of waiting.

5b632fe85e mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAIL
Commit f0425beda4 "mac80211: retry sending
failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression
on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by
commit be03d4a45c "rt2x00: Don't let
mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter
commit caused yet another problem reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22

After long discussion in this thread:
http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com
and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other
setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both
mentioned earlier commits.

To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit
f0425beda4, instead of reverting it,
introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before
the commit.
