| * | | | mac80211: OCB: remove pointless check for broadcast BSSIDJohannes Berg2015-04-241-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OCB input path already checked that the BSSID is the broadcast address, so the later check can never fail. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: clean up/rename prepare_for_handlers()Johannes Berg2015-04-241-44/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function really shouldn't be called prepare_for_handlers(), all it does is check if the frame should be dropped. Rename it to ieee80211_accept_frame() and clean it up a bit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: remove IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCHJohannes Berg2015-04-242-42/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With promisc support gone, only AP and P2P-Device type interfaces still clear IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH. In both cases this isn't really necessary though, so we can remove that flag and the code. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISCJohannes Berg2015-04-244-49/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted, frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the monitor mode support should be used instead. Removing it removes a lot of corner cases. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: make station hash table max_size configurableJohannes Berg2015-04-232-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: allow segmentation offloadsJohannes Berg2015-04-222-25/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the necessary software segmentation on the normal TX path so that fast-xmit can use segmentation offload if the hardware (or driver) supports it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: allow drivers to support S/GJohannes Berg2015-04-222-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for that being possible.) However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize(). Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the code in mac80211 at all anyway. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: allow checksum offload only in fast-xmitJohannes Berg2015-04-221-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we go through the complete TX processing, there are a number of things like fragmentation and software crypto that require the checksum to be calculated already. In favour of maintainability, instead of adding the necessary call to skb_checksum_help() in all the places that need it, just do it once before the regular TX processing. Right now this only affects the TI wlcore and QCA ath10k drivers since they're the only ones using checksum offload. The previous commits enabled fast-xmit for them in almost all cases. For wlcore this even fixes a corner case: when a key fails to be programmed to hardware software encryption gets used, encrypting frames with a bad checksum.

| * | | | mac80211: extend fast-xmit to cover IBSSJohannes Berg2015-04-221-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IBSS can be supported very easily since it uses the standard station authorization state etc. so it just needs to be covered by the header building switch statement.

| * | | | mac80211: extend fast-xmit for more ciphersJohannes Berg2015-04-222-6/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When crypto is offloaded then in some cases it's all handled by the device, and in others only some space for the IV must be reserved in the frame. Handle both of these cases in the fast-xmit path, up to a limit of 18 bytes of space for IVs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: extend fast-xmit to driver fragmentationJohannes Berg2015-04-221-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the driver handles fragmentation then it wouldn't be done in software so we can still use the fast-xmit path in that case. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: add TX fastpathJohannes Berg2015-04-228-2/+475
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
| * | | | mac80211: lock rate controlJohannes Berg2015-04-204-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Some paths (e.g. those involving mps_qos_null_tx()) unfortunately hold this spinlock across frame tx, which is soon to be disallowed. Add a new spinlock just for plink access.

All of them were related to insufficient skb tailroom and I was able to trigger these with ping6 program. AP_VLANs may inherit crypto keys from parent AP. This wasn't considered and yielded problems in some setups resulting in inability to transmit data because mac80211 wouldn't resize skbs when necessary and subsequently drop some packets due to insufficient tailroom.

All from Eric Biederman. 7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman. 8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck. 9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation, from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty table, we expand the table much more sanely. 10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric Biederman. 11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov. 12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be established in the main hash table.

| | * mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementationFelix Fietkau2015-04-0111-19/+350
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | * mac80211: use rhashtable for station tableJohannes Berg2015-04-016-85/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
