mac80211: Fix hwflags debugfs file format

2015-10-13T08:30:56+00:00

Commit 30686bf7f5b3 ("mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long
bitmap") accidentally removed the newline delimiter from the hwflags
debugfs file. Fix this by adding back the newline between the HW flags.

mac80211: define TDLS wider BW support bits

2015-07-17T13:38:11+00:00

Allow a device to specify support for the TDLS wider-bandwidth feature.
Indicate this support during TDLS setup in the ext-capab IE and set an
appropriate station flag when our TDLS peer supports it.
This feature gives TDLS peers the ability to use a wider channel than
the base width of the BSS. For instance VHT capable TDLS peers connected
on a 20MHz channel can extend the channel to 80MHz, if regulatory
considerations allow it.

Do not cap the bandwidth of such stations by the current BSS channel width
in mac80211.

mac80211: remove short frame test and counter

2015-07-17T13:37:55+00:00

Short frames less than 16 octets are already blocked in the monitor
code by the should_drop_frame() function, and cannot get into the
regular RX path. Therefore, this check can never trigger and the
counter invariably stays zero. Remove the useless code.

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

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.

mac80211: remove short slot/short preamble incapable flags

2015-06-02T18:28:58+00:00

There are no drivers setting IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_SLOT_INCAPABLE
or IEEE80211_HW_2GHZ_SHORT_PREAMBLE_INCAPABLE, so any code using the
two flags is dead; it's also exceedingly unlikely that any new driver
could ever need to set these flags.

The wcn36xx code is almost certainly broken, but this preserves the
previous behaviour.

mac80211: move dot11 counters under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS

2015-05-05T12:21:54+00:00

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.

Move them under MAC80211_DEBUG_COUNTERS so they're normally
not even compiled in.

mac80211: clean up global debugfs statistics

2015-05-05T12:21:54+00:00

The debugfs statistics macros are pointlessly verbose, so change
that macro to just have a single argument. While at it, remove
the unused counters and rename rx_expand_skb_head2 to the better
rx_expand_skb_head_defrag.

mac80211: remove drop_unencrypted code

2015-03-20T10:37:36+00:00

This mechanism was historic, and only ever used by IBSS, which
also doesn't need to have it as it properly manages station's
802.1X PAE state (or, with WEP, always has a key.)

Remove the mechanism to clean up the code.

mac80211: remove TX latency measurement code

2015-02-28T20:31:11+00:00

Revert commit ad38bfc916da ("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.

mac80211: move U-APSD enablement to vif flags

2014-12-15T11:34:45+00:00

In order to let drivers have more dynamic U-APSD support,
move the enablement flag to the virtual interface driver
flags. This lets drivers not only set it up differently
for different interfaces, but also enable/disable on the
fly if needed.
