285531f9e6 mac80211: fix station inactive_time shortly after boot
In the first 5 minutes after boot (time of INITIAL_JIFFIES),
ieee80211_sta_last_active() returns zero if last_ack is zero. This
leads to "inactive time" showing jiffies_to_msecs(jiffies).

 # iw wlan0 station get fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd
 Station fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd (on wlan0)
	inactive time:	4294894049 ms
	.
	.
	connected time:	70 seconds

Fix by returning last_rx if last_ack == 0.

3e493173b7 mac80211: Do not send Layer 2 Update frame before authorization
The Layer 2 Update frame is used to update bridges when a station roams
to another AP even if that STA does not transmit any frames after the
reassociation. This behavior was described in IEEE Std 802.11F-2003 as
something that would happen based on MLME-ASSOCIATE.indication, i.e.,
before completing 4-way handshake. However, this IEEE trial-use
recommended practice document was published before RSN (IEEE Std
802.11i-2004) and as such, did not consider RSN use cases. Furthermore,
IEEE Std 802.11F-2003 was withdrawn in 2006 and as such, has not been
maintained amd should not be used anymore.

Sending out the Layer 2 Update frame immediately after association is
fine for open networks (and also when using SAE, FT protocol, or FILS
authentication when the station is actually authenticated by the time
association completes). However, it is not appropriate for cases where
RSN is used with PSK or EAP authentication since the station is actually
fully authenticated only once the 4-way handshake completes after
authentication and attackers might be able to use the unauthenticated
triggering of Layer 2 Update frame transmission to disrupt bridge
behavior.

Fix this by postponing transmission of the Layer 2 Update frame from
station entry addition to the point when the station entry is marked
authorized. Similarly, send out the VLAN binding update only if the STA
entry has already been authorized.

The remove_sta_debugfs callback in struct rate_control_ops is no longer
used by any driver, as there is no need for it (the debugfs directory is
already removed recursivly by the mac80211 core.)  Because no one needs
it, just remove it to keep anyone else from accidentally using it in the

bd718fc11d mac80211: use STA info in rate_control_send_low()
Even if we have a station, we currently call rate_control_send_low()
with the NULL station unless further rate control (driver, minstrel)
has been initialized.

Change this so we can use more information about the station to use
a better rate. For example, when we associate with an AP, we will
now use the lowest rate it advertised as supported (that we can)
rather than the lowest mandatory rate. This aligns our behaviour
with most other 802.11 implementations.

To make this possible, we need to also ensure that we have non-zero
rates at all times, so in case we really have *nothing* pre-fill
the supp_rates bitmap with the very lowest mandatory bitmap (11b
and 11a on 2.4 and 5 GHz respectively).

Additionally, hostapd appears to be giving us an empty supported
rates bitmap (it can and should do better, since the STA must have
supported for at least the basic rates in the BSS), so ignore any
such bitmaps that would actually zero out the supp_rates, and in
that case just keep the pre-filled mandatory rates.

b4809e9484 mac80211: Add airtime accounting and scheduling to TXQs
This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added
that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations.

When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling. If no airtime usage is reported
by the driver, the scheduler will default to round-robin scheduling.

For drivers that don't control TXQ scheduling in software, a new API
function, ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(), is added which the driver can use
to check if the TXQ is eligible for transmission, or should be throttled to
enforce fairness. Calls to this function must also be enclosed in
ieee80211_txq_schedule_{start,end}() calls to ensure proper locking.

The API ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() also ensures that TXQ list will be
aligned aginst driver's own round-robin scheduler list. i.e it rotates
the TXQ list till it makes the requested node becomes the first entry
in TXQ list. Thus both the TXQ list and driver's list are in sync.

1866760096 mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling API
This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will
then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty).

The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each
scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API
then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same
session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying
about breaking the loop.

Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time.
In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple
round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the
scheduler.

a421775058 mac80211: use BIT_ULL for NL80211_STA_INFO_* attribute types
The BIT macro uses unsigned long which some architectures handle as 32 bit
and therefore might cause macro's shift to overflow when used on a value
equals or larger than 32 (NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_DURATION and afterwards).

Since 'filled' member in station_info changed to u64, BIT_ULL macro
should be used with all NL80211_STA_INFO_* attribute types instead of BIT
to prevent future possible bugs when one will use BIT macro for higher
attributes by mistake.

This commit cleans up all usages of BIT macro with the above field
in mac80211 by changing it to BIT_ULL instead.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

4c02d62fa3 net/mac80211/mesh_plink: Convert timers to use timer_setup()
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly. This requires adding a pointer back
to the sta_info since container_of() can't resolve the sta_info.

d405fd8cc8 mac80211: recalculate some sta parameters after insertion
Sometimes a station is added already in ASSOC state. For example,
in AP mode, when a client station didn't get assoc resp and sends
an assoc req again. If a station is inserted when its state is ASSOC
or higher, the min chandef and allow_p2p_go_ps should be recalculated
again after the insertion.

Before this patch the recalculation happened only in sta_info_move_state
which occurs before the insertion of the sta and thus even though
it calls ieee80211_recalc_min_chandef/_p2p_go_ps_allowed functions,
since sdata->local->sta_list is still empty at this point, it doesn't do
anything.

4df864c1d9 networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers
It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.

A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

484a54c2e5 mac80211: Dynamically set CoDel parameters per station
CoDel can be too aggressive if a station sends at a very low rate,
leading reduced throughput. This gets worse the more stations are
present, as each station gets more bursty the longer the round-robin
scheduling between stations takes.

This adds dynamic adjustment of CoDel parameters per station. It uses
the rate selection information to estimate throughput and sets more
lenient CoDel parameters if the estimated throughput is below a
threshold (modified by the number of active stations).

A new callback is added that drivers can use to notify mac80211 about
changes in expected throughput, so the same adjustment can be made for
cards that implement rate control in firmware. Drivers that don't use
this will just get the default parameters.

21a8e9dd52 mac80211: Fix possible sband related NULL pointer de-reference
Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even
if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets
which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'.
Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when
channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing
the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with  'ieee80211_get_sband' which
returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL.

An example scenario is as below:

In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a
channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected)
and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel
switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the
other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid
and this results in a crash  while the clients connected to the AP vif
tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated
by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does
happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of
testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif

d98937f4ea mac80211: fix power saving clients handling in iwlwifi
iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the
PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of
order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses
explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state
of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames
coming our way from the peers.

Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in
mac80211. I tried to fix this in commit c68df2e7be
("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE")
but that was later reverted by Felix in commit 6c18a6b4e7
("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE")
since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim.

Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the
set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in
__sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not
implemented.

f9aa9dc7d2 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.

That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware.  If that fails it returns an
error.

Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.

However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

72f15d53f3 mac80211: filter multicast data packets on AP / AP_VLAN
This patch adds filtering for multicast data packets on AP_VLAN
interfaces that have no authorized station connected and changes
filtering on AP interfaces to not count stations assigned to
AP_VLAN interfaces.

This saves airtime and avoids waking up other stations currently
authorized in this BSS. When using WPA, the packets dropped could
not be decrypted by any station.

The behaviour when there are no AP_VLAN interfaces is left unchanged.

When there are AP_VLAN interfaces, this patch
1. adds filtering multicast data packets sent on AP_VLAN interfaces
   that have no authorized station connected.
   No filtering happens on 4addr AP_VLAN interfaces.
2. makes filtering of multicast data packets sent on AP interfaces
   depend on the number of authorized stations in this bss not
   assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.

Therefore, a new num_mcast_sta counter is added for AP_VLAN interfaces.
The existing one for AP interfaces is altered to not track stations
assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.

The new counter is exposed in debugfs.

bb42f2d13f mac80211: Move reorder-sensitive TX handlers to after TXQ dequeue
The TXQ intermediate queues can cause packet reordering when more than
one flow is active to a single station. Since some of the wifi-specific
packet handling (notably sequence number and encryption handling) is
sensitive to re-ordering, things break if they are applied before the
TXQ.

This splits up the TX handlers and fast_xmit logic into two parts: An
early part and a late part. The former is applied before TXQ enqueue,
and the latter after dequeue. The non-TXQ path just applies both parts
at once.

Because fragments shouldn't be split up or reordered, the fragmentation
handler is run after dequeue. Any fragments are then kept in the TXQ and
on subsequent dequeues they take precedence over dequeueing from the FQ
structure.

This approach avoids having to scatter special cases all over the place
for when TXQ is enabled, at the cost of making the fast_xmit and TX
handler code slightly more complex.

83e7e4ce9e mac80211: Use rhltable instead of rhashtable
mac80211 currently uses rhashtable with insecure_elasticity set
to true.  The latter is because of duplicate objects.  What's
more, mac80211 walks the rhashtable chains by hand which is broken
as rhashtable may contain multiple tables due to resizing or
rehashing.

This patch fixes it by converting it to the newly added rhltable
interface which is designed for use with duplicate objects.

With rhltable a lookup returns a list of objects instead of a
single one.  This is then fed into the existing for_each_sta_info
macro.

This patch also deletes the sta_addr_hash function since rhashtable
defaults to jhash.

c68df2e7be mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE
In 46fa38e84b ("mac80211: allow software PS-Poll/U-APSD with
AP_LINK_PS"), Johannes allowed to use mac80211's code for handling
stations that go to PS or send PS-Poll / uAPSD trigger frames for
devices that enable RSS.

This means that mac80211 doesn't look at frames anymore but rather
relies on a notification that will come from the device when a PS
transition occurs or when a PS-Poll / trigger frame is detected by
the device.

iwlwifi will need this capability but still needs mac80211 to take
care of the TIM IE. Today, if a driver sets AP_LINK_PS, mac80211
will not update the TIM IE. Change mac80211 to check existence of
the set_tim driver callback rather than using AP_LINK_PS to decide
if the driver handles the TIM IE internally or not.

480dd46b9d mac80211: RX BA support for sta max_rx_aggregation_subframes
The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful
in cases of IOP.

There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's)
that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps).
These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during
association (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets).

This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in
a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated
during association.

Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn
causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet.

This patch will make the subframe limitation to be held by each station,
instead of being held only by hw.

Depending on which method the driver implements, userspace could
call this (indirectly, by getting station info) before the driver
knows about the station, possibly causing it to misbehave.

Therefore, add a check for sta->uploaded which indicates that the
driver knows about the station.

fa962b9212 mac80211: implement fair queueing per txq
mac80211's software queues were designed to work
very closely with device tx queues. They are
required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation
easily and efficiently.

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.

This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result
depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

80a83cfc43 mac80211: skip netdev queue control with software queuing
Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.

Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.

Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.

This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good
performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the
need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only
supported for debugging purposes.

To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or
driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting
max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.

49ddf8e6e2 mac80211: add fast-rx path
The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few
assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the
amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions
on the driver are the following:
 * hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation)
 * hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption)
 * hardware/driver did de-duplication
 * hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation
 * AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode)
 * no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode)

of which some are actually checked per packet:
 * de-duplication
 * PN checking
 * decryption
and additionally packets must
 * not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device)
 * be data packets
 * not be fragmented
 * be unicast
 * have RFC 1042 header

Additionally dynamically we assume:
 * no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed
 * station must be authorized
 * 4-addr format not enabled

Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station
"fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and
the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast
RX path.

After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses
down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of
the data cached in the small fast_rx struct.

This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier
to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need
to be per-CPU still.)

situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and

0ef049dc11 mac80211: avoid excessive stack usage in sta_info
When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, the sta_info_insert_finish
function consumes more stack than normally, exceeding the
1024 byte limit on ARM:

net/mac80211/sta_info.c: In function 'sta_info_insert_finish':
net/mac80211/sta_info.c:561:1: error: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

It turns out that there are two functions that put a 'struct station_info'
on the stack: __sta_info_destroy_part2 and sta_info_insert_finish, and
this structure alone requires up to 792 bytes.

Hoping that both are called rarely enough, this replaces the
on-stack structure with a dynamic allocation, which unfortunately
requires some suboptimal error handling for out-of-memory.

The __sta_info_destroy_part2 function is actually affected by the
stack usage twice because it calls cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo(), which
has another instance of struct station_info on its stack.

it may not be unique among the peers, and by its nature it is random,
so the TIM may not compress well.

In preparation for allocating it properly, use sta->sta.aid, but keep
the existing behavior of using the plid in the aid we send.

433f5bc1c0 mac80211: move mesh related station fields to own struct
There are now a fairly large number of mesh fields that really
aren't needed in any other modes; move those into their own
structure and allocate them separately.

ac100ce52a mac80211: duplicate station's MAC address for hash table
Currently, the station hash table lookup (or iteration) must
access two cachelines for each station - the one with the hash
table node, and the one with the MAC address.

Duplicate the MAC address next to the hash node to get rid of
this. Since the MAC address is static there's no consistency
problem introduced by this.

30686bf7f5 mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap
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.

b04096ff33 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Four minor merge conflicts:

1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device
   from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call
   got moved further up in the probe function.

2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params
   structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the
   initializer function.

3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is
   completely removed in 'net-next'.

4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations
   had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the
   argument signature a bit.

This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen
Rothwell over the past two days.

caf22d311a mac80211: enable hash table shrinking
The hashtable behaviour change was merged into the tree
at about the same time as the mac80211 use of rhashtable,
but of course these don't really conflict in the normal
sense. Enable hash table shrinking now.

ebd82b39bf mac80211: make station hash table max_size configurable
Allow debug builds to configure the station hash table maximum
size in order to run with hash collisions in limited scenarios
such as hwsim testing. The default remains 0 which effectively
means no limit.

60f4b626d5 mac80211: fix rhashtable conversion
My conversion of the mac80211 station hash table to rhashtable
completely broke the lookup in sta_info_get() as it no longer
took into account the virtual interface. Fix that.

17c18bf880 mac80211: add TX fastpath
In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.

There's also a more detailed description in the code.

35c347ac53 mac80211: lock rate control
Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate
control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's
likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms.

In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an
update and other data access are run concurrently, for example
when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this
can cause firmware crashes.

Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult,
just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal
data structures the algorithms maintain.

I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its
advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm
running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes
this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the
client. With this change, the system survives this test.
