It is currently possible to have a race due to the station PS
unblock work like this:
* station goes to sleep with frames buffered in the driver
* driver blocks wakeup
* station wakes up again
* driver flushes/returns frames, and unblocks, which schedules
the unblock work
* unblock work starts to run, and checks that the station is
awake (i.e. that the WLAN_STA_PS_STA flag isn't set)
* we process a received frame with PM=1, setting the flag again
* ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() runs, delivering all frames
to the driver, and then clearing the WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER and
WLAN_STA_PS_STA flags
In this scenario, mac80211 will think that the station is awake,
while it really is asleep, and any TX'ed frames should be filtered
by the device (it will know that the station is sleeping) but then
passed to mac80211 again, which will not buffer it either as it
thinks the station is awake, and eventually the packets will be
dropped.
Fix this by moving the clearing of the flags to exactly where we
learn about the situation. This creates a problem of reordering,
so introduce another flag indicating that delivery is being done,
this new flag also queues frames and is cleared only while the
spinlock is held (which the queuing code also holds) so that any
concurrent delivery/TX is handled correctly.

Consider the following (relatively unlikely) scenario:
1) station goes to sleep while frames are buffered in driver
2) driver blocks wakeup (until no more frames are buffered)
3) station wakes up again
4) driver unblocks wakeup
In this case, the current mac80211 code will do the following:
1) WLAN_STA_PS_STA set
2) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER set
3) - nothing -
4) WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER cleared
As a result, no frames will be delivered to the client, even
though it is awake, until it sends another frame to us that
triggers ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() in sta_ps_end().
Since we now take the PS spinlock, we can fix this while at
the same time removing the complexity with the pending skb
queue function. This was broken since my commit 50a9432dae
("mac80211: fix powersaving clients races") due to removing
the clearing of WLAN_STA_PS_STA in the RX path.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
There's a race condition in mac80211 because we add stations
to the internal lists after adding them to the driver, which
means that (for example) the following can happen:
1. a station connects and is added
2. first, it is added to the driver
3. then, it is added to the mac80211 lists
If the station goes to sleep between steps 2 and 3, and the
firmware/hardware records it as being asleep, mac80211 will
never instruct the driver to wake it up again as it never
realized it went to sleep since the RX path discarded the
frame as a "spurious class 3 frame", no station entry was
present yet.
Fix this by adding the station in software first, and only
then adding it to the driver. That way, any state that the
driver changes will be reflected properly in mac80211's
station state. The problematic part is the roll-back if the
driver fails to add the station, in that case a bit more is
needed. To not make that overly complex prevent starting BA
sessions in the meantime.

There is a race between the TX path and the STA wakeup: while
a station is sleeping, mac80211 buffers frames until it wakes
up, then the frames are transmitted. However, the RX and TX
path are concurrent, so the packet indicating wakeup can be
processed while a packet is being transmitted.
This can lead to a situation where the buffered frames list
is emptied on the one side, while a frame is being added on
the other side, as the station is still seen as sleeping in
the TX path.
As a result, the newly added frame will not be send anytime
soon. It might be sent much later (and out of order) when the
station goes to sleep and wakes up the next time.
Additionally, it can lead to the crash below.
Fix all this by synchronising both paths with a new lock.
Both path are not fastpath since they handle PS situations.
In a later patch we'll remove the extra skb queue locks to
reduce locking overhead.

When a response for PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame is sent, the
more-data bit should be set according to 802.11-2012 11.2.1.5 h),
meaning that it should indicate more data on the relevant ACs
(delivery-enabled or nondelivery-enabled for uAPSD or PS-Poll.)
In, for example, the following scenario:
* 1 frame on VO queue (either in driver or in mac80211)
* at least 1 frame on VI queue (in the driver)
* both VO/VI are delivery-enabled
* uAPSD trigger frame received
The more-data flag to the driver would not be set, even though
it should be.
While fixing this, I noticed that we should really release frames
from multiple ACs where there's data buffered in the driver for
the corresponding TIDs.
To address all this, restructure the code a bit to consider all
ACs if we only release driver frames or only buffered frames.
This also addresses the more-data bug described above as now the
TIDs will all be marked as released, so the driver will have to
check the number of frames.
While at it, clarify some code and comments and remove the found
variable, replacing it with the appropriate sw/hw release check.

Also check that the station is actually the one being removed, the

the code is clearer this way (and we avoid the memory write.)
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Currently, mac80211 allows drivers to keep RCU-protected station
references that are cleared when the station is removed from the
driver and consequently needs to synchronize twice, once before
removing the station from the driver (so it can guarantee that
the station is no longer used in TX towards the driver) and once
after the station is removed from the driver.
Add a new pre-RCU-synchronisation station removal operation to
the API to allow drivers to clear/invalidate their RCU-protected
station pointers before the RCU synchronisation.
This will allow removing the second synchronisation by changing
the driver API so that the driver may no longer assume a valid
RCU-protected pointer after sta_remove/sta_state returns.
The alternative to this would be to synchronize_rcu() in all the
drivers that currently rely on this behaviour (only iwlmvm) but
that would defeat the purpose.

The beacon isn't updated. The association response will

Note that we wait until the end of the EAPOL. Sending an

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.

During roaming, the crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt counter
will often take values 2,1,0,1,2 because first keys are
removed and then new keys are added. This is inefficient
because during the 0->1 transition, synchronize_net must
be called to avoid packet races, although typically no
packets would be flowing during that time.
To avoid that, defer the decrement (2->1, 1->0) when keys
are removed (by half a second). This means the counter
will really have the values 2,2,2,3,4 ... 2, thus never
reaching 0 and having to do the 0->1 transition.
Note that this patch entirely disregards the drivers for
which this optimisation was done to start with, for them
the key removal itself will be expensive because it has
to synchronize_net() after the counter is incremented to
remove the key from HW crypto. For them the sequence will
look like this: 0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0 (*) which is clearly a
lot more inefficient. This could be addressed separately,
during key removal the 0->1->0 sequence isn't necessary.
(*) it starts at 0 because HW crypto is on, then goes to
1 when HW crypto is disabled for a key, then back to
0 because the key is deleted; this happens for both
keys in the example. When new keys are added, it goes
to 1 first because they're added in software; when a
key is moved to hardware it goes back to 0

Fix this by introducing a separate "timeout_started"

and is checked before timing out.
Additionally, for proper TX status handling the change
requires that the skb->dev pointer is set up for all

This is a very old bug, but there's nothing that prevents the
timer from running while the module is being removed when we
only do del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync().
The timer should normally not be running at this point, but
it's not clearly impossible (or we could just remove this.)

Unfortunately, commit b22cfcfcae, intended to speed up roaming
by avoiding the synchronize_rcu() broke AP/mesh modes as it moved
some code into that work item that will still call into the driver
at a time where it's no longer expected to handle this: after the
AP or mesh has been stopped.
To fix this problem remove the per-station work struct, maintain a
station cleanup list instead and flush this list when stations are
flushed. To keep this patch smaller for stable, do this when the
stations are flushed (sta_info_flush()). This unfortunately brings
back the original roaming delay; I'll fix that again in a separate
patch.
Also, Ben reported that the original commit could sometimes (with
many interfaces) cause long delays when an interface is set down,
due to blocking on flush_workqueue(). Since we now maintain the
cleanup list, this particular change of the original patch can be
reverted.

This patch prepares mac80211 for a later implementation of mesh or
ad-hoc powersave clients.
The structures related to powersave (buffer, TIM map, counters) are
moved from the AP-specific interface structure to a generic structure
that can be embedded into any interface type.
The functions related to powersave are prepared to allow easy
extension with different interface types. For example with:
+ } else if (sta->sdata->vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT) {
+ ps = &sdata->u.mesh.ps;
Some references to the AP's beacon structure are removed where they
were obviously not used.

Instead of operating on a single channel only,
use the new channel context infrastructure in

This enables drivers that want to use the new
channel context infrastructure to use multiple
channels, while nothing should change for all
the other drivers that don't support it.
Right now this disables both TX power settings

to be re-enabled on a channel context basis.
Additionally, when channel contexts are used
drop the connection when channel switch is

check this with a new station flag).
* rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just
plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be

If a PS-poll frame is retried (but was received)
there is no way to detect that since it has no

Implement this by using the WLAN_STA_SP flags to

packet to indicate the end of the "SP" as usual.

the buffers before really adding support for
uAPSD. This already makes some reference to the
uapsd_queues variable, but for now that will
never be non-zero.
Since book-keeping is complicated, also change
the logic for keeping a maximum of frames only
and allow 64 frames per AC (up from 128 for a
station).

mac80211 will expire normal PS-buffered frames, but
if the device rejected some frames for a sleeping
station, these won't be on the ps_tx_buf queue but
on the tx_filtered queue instead; this is done to
avoid reordering.
However, mac80211 will not expire frames from the
filtered queue, let's fix that.
Also add a more comments to what all this expiry is
doing and how it works.

Currently, the TIM bit for a given station is set
and cleared all over the place. Since the logic to
set/clear it will become much more complex when we
add uAPSD support, as a first step let's collect
the entire logic in one place. This requires a few
small adjustments to other places.

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.
ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.
Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

Juuso optimised the timer to not run all the
time in commit 3393a608c4.
However, after that it will still run once
more even if all frames just expired. Fixing
that also makes the function return value a
little clearer in the process.
Also, while at it, change the return value
to bool (instead of int).

Since my commit 34e895075e
("mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep") there is
a race in mac80211 when it clears the TIM bit because a
sleeping station disconnected, the spinlock isn't held
around the relevant code any more. Use the right API to
acquire the spinlock correctly.

When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

Divided the sta_info_insert_rcu function to 3 mini-functions:
sta_info_insert_check - the initial checks done when inserting
a new station
sta_info_insert_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition for IBSS interfaces
sta_info_insert_non_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition in other cases
The outer API was not changed.
The refactoring was done for better usage of the different

This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of
mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be
done.
Due the the previous patches, the annotations
are pretty simple. The only thing that this
actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

to wake it up even though mac80211 does not have any buffered frames for

This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering,

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.
Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.
Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.
