Michal Kazior dbef536211 mac80211: prevent skb/txq mismatch
Station structure is considered as not uploaded
(to driver) until drv_sta_state() finishes. This
call is however done after the structure is
attached to mac80211 internal lists and hashes.
This means mac80211 can lookup (and use) station
structure before it is uploaded to a driver.

If this happens (structure exists, but
sta->uploaded is false) fast_tx path can still be
taken. Deep in the fastpath call the sta->uploaded
is checked against to derive "pubsta" argument for
ieee80211_get_txq(). If sta->uploaded is false
(and sta is actually non-NULL) ieee80211_get_txq()
effectively downgraded to vif->txq.

At first glance this may look innocent but coerces
mac80211 into a state that is almost guaranteed
(codel may drop offending skb) to crash because a
station-oriented skb gets queued up on
vif-oriented txq. The ieee80211_tx_dequeue() ends
up looking at info->control.flags and tries to use
txq->sta which in the fail case is NULL.

It's probably pointless to pretend one can
downgrade skb from sta-txq to vif-txq.

Since downgrading unicast traffic to vif->txq must
not be done there's no txq to put a frame on if
sta->uploaded is false. Therefore the code is made
to fall back to regular tx() op path if the
described condition is hit.

Only drivers using wake_tx_queue were affected.

Example crash dump before fix:

Johannes Berg 35f432a03e mac80211: initialize fast-xmit 'info' later
In ieee80211_xmit_fast(), 'info' is initialized to point to the skb
that's passed in, but that skb may later be replaced by a clone (if
it was shared), leading to an invalid pointer.

This can lead to use-after-free and also later crashes since the
real SKB's info->hw_queue doesn't get initialized properly.

Fix this by assigning info only later, when it's needed, after the
skb replacement (may have) happened.

Michael Braun ebceec860f mac80211: multicast to unicast conversion
Add the ability for an AP (and associated VLANs) to perform
multicast-to-unicast conversion for ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 frames
(possibly within 802.1Q). If enabled, such frames are to be sent
to each station separately, with the DA replaced by their own
MAC address rather than the group address.

Note that this may break certain expectations of the receiver,
such as the ability to drop unicast IP packets received within
multicast L2 frames, or the ability to not send ICMP destination
unreachable messages for packets received in L2 multicast (which
is required, but the receiver can't tell the difference if this
new option is enabled.)

This also doesn't implement the 802.11 DMS (directed multicast
service).

David S. Miller 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.

Michael Braun 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.

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 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.

than emitting an error on open as previously).

Previously, the action frames to group address was not encrypted. But
[1] "Table 8-38 Category values" indicates "Mesh" and "Multihop" category
action frames should be encrypted (Group addressed privacy == yes). And the
encyption key should be MGTK ([1] 10.13 Group addressed robust management frame

Michal Kazior 5caa328e38 mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows
There is no other limit other than a global
packet count limit when using software queuing.
This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
algorithms which requires a little more
sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.

Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
convergence and stability when combined with
wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

Michal Kazior 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.

Michal Kazior 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.

Felix Fietkau 6e0456b545 mac80211: add A-MSDU tx support
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.

Emmanuel Grumbach f6d4671a08 mac80211: close the SP when we enqueue frames during the SP
Since we enqueued the frame that was supposed to be sent
during the SP, and that frame may very well cary the
IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP bit, we may never close the SP
(WLAN_STA_SP will never be cleared). If that happens, we
will not open any new SP and will never respond to any poll
frame from the client.
Clear WLAN_STA_SP manually if a frame that was polled during
the SP is queued because of a starting A-MPDU session. The
client may not see the EOSP bit, but it will at least be
able to poll new frames in another SP.

Emmanuel Grumbach facde7f332 mac80211: don't send deferred frames outside the SP
Frames that are sent between
ampdu_action(IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START) and the move to the
HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state are buffered.
If we try to start an A-MPDU session while the peer is
sleeping and polling frames with U-APSD, we may have frames
that will be buffered by ieee80211_tx_prep_agg. These frames
have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set since they are sent to
a sleeping client and possibly IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP.
If the frame is buffered, we need clear these two flags
since they will be re-sent after the move to
HT_AGG_STATE_OPERATIONAL state which is very likely to
happen after the SP ends.

The mesh path and mesh gate hashtables are global, containing
all of the mpaths for every mesh interface, but the paths are
all tied logically to a single interface.  The common case is
just a single mesh interface, so optimize for that by moving
the global hashtable into the per-interface struct.

Doing so allows us to drop sdata pointer comparisons inside
the lookups and also saves a few bytes of BSS and data.

Sven Eckelmann dfdfc2beb0 mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected frames
Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").

The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.
