It doesn't seem problematic to change the weight for the average beacon signal from 3 to 4, so use DECLARE_EWMA. This also makes the code easier to maintain since bugs like the one fixed in the previous patch can't happen as easily.

The IEEE802.11-2012 specification is vague regarding SMPS operation during TDLS. It does not define a clear way to transition between SMPS states. To avoid interop issues, set SMPS to off when TDLS peers are connected. Accomplish this by extending the definition of the AUTOMATIC state. If the driver forces a state other than OFF, disconnect all TDLS peers. While at it, avoid changing the SMPS state of the peer STA. We have no way to control it, so try and behave correctly towards it. Move the TDLS peer-teardown function to where the rest of the TDLS code resides. Signed-off-by:

Define a station chandef, to be used for wider-bw TDLS peers. When both peers support the feature, upgrade the channel bandwidth to the maximum allowed by both peers and regulatory. Currently widths up to 80MHz are supported in the 5GHz band. When a TDLS peer connects/disconnects recalculate the channel type of the current chanctx. Make the chanctx width calculation consider wider-bw TDLS peers and similarly fix the max_required_bw calculation for the chanctx min_def. Since the sta->bandwidth is calculated only later on, take bss_conf.chandef.width as the minimal width for station interface. Set the upgraded channel width in the VHT-operation set during TDLS setup. Signed-off-by:

When introducing multiple RX queues, a single NAPI struct will not be sufficient. Instead of trying to store multiple, simply change the API to have the NAPI struct passed to the RX function. This of course means that drivers using rx_irqsafe() cannot use NAPI, but that seems a reasonable trade-off, particularly since only two of all drivers are currently using it at all. While at it, we can now remove the IEEE80211_RX_REORDER_TIMER flag again since this code path cannot have a napi struct anyway. Signed-off-by:

Due to remain-on-channel scheduling delays, when we split an ROC while coalescing, we'll usually get a picture like this: existing ROC: |------------------| current time: ^ new ROC: |------| |-------| If the expected response frames are then transmitted by the peer in the hole between the two fragments of the new ROC, we miss them and the process (e.g. ANQP query) fails. mac80211 expects that the window to miss something is small: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |------||-------| but that's normally not the case. To avoid this problem, coalesce only if the new ROC's duration is <= the remaining time on the existing one: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |-----| and never split a new one but schedule it afterwards instead: existing ROC: |------------------| new ROC: |-------------| type=bugfix bug=not-tracked fixes=unknown Reported-by:

No matter how the driver manages its NAPI context, there's no way sending frames to it from a timer can be correct, since it would corrupt the internal GRO lists. To avoid that, always use the non-NAPI path when releasing frames from the timer. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT) ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.) In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED. Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only used once in the remaining code. Signed-off-by:

Since these counters can only be read through debugfs, there's very little point in maintaining them all the time. However, even just making them depend on debugfs is pointless - they're not normally used. Additionally a number of them aren't even concurrency safe.

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 allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs. The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver - queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue management later without changing drivers using this code. This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by userspace or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic, so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to stay the same between reboots. The former, however should never be renamed, so userspace needs to be able to reliably tell the difference.

Some APs experience problems when working with U-APSD. Decreasing the probability of that happening by using legacy mode for all ACs but VO isn't enough. Cisco 4410N originally forced us to enable VO by default only because it treated non-VO ACs as legacy. However some APs (notably Netgear R7000) silently reclassify packets to different ACs. Since u-APSD ACs require trigger frames for frame retrieval clients would never see some frames (e.g. ARP responses) or would fetch them accidentally after a long time. It makes little sense to enable u-APSD queues by default because it needs userspace applications to be aware of it to actually take advantage of the possible additional powersavings. Implicitly depending on driver autotrigger frame support doesn't make much sense. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Revert commit ad38bfc9 ("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. Signed-off-by:
