mac80211: allocate tailroom for forwarded mesh packets

2019-02-22T13:00:40+00:00

Forwarded packets enter the tx path through ieee80211_add_pending_skb,
which skips the ieee80211_skb_resize call.
Fixes WARN_ON in ccmp_encrypt_skb and resulting packet loss.

mac80211: Change default tx_sk_pacing_shift to 7

2019-02-22T12:32:55+00:00

When we did the original tests for the optimal value of sk_pacing_shift, we
came up with 6 ms of buffering as the default. Sadly, 6 is not a power of
two, so when picking the shift value I erred on the size of less buffering
and picked 4 ms instead of 8. This was probably wrong; those 2 ms of extra
buffering makes a larger difference than I thought.

So, change the default pacing shift to 7, which corresponds to 8 ms of
buffering. The point of diminishing returns really kicks in after 8 ms, and
so having this as a default should cut down on the need for extensive
per-device testing and overrides needed in the drivers.

mac80211: mesh: fix missing unlock on error in table_path_del()

2019-02-19T00:29:54+00:00

spin_lock_bh() is used in table_path_del() but rcu_read_unlock()
is used for unlocking. Fix it by using spin_unlock_bh() instead
of rcu_read_unlock() in the error handling case.

mac80211: Restore vif beacon interval if start ap fails

2019-02-15T12:30:24+00:00

The starting of AP interface can fail due to invalid
beacon interval, which does not match the minimum gcd
requirement set by the wifi driver. In such case, the
beacon interval of that interface gets updated with
that invalid beacon interval.

The next time that interface is brought up in AP mode,
an interface combination check is performed and the
beacon interval is taken from the previously set value.

In a case where an invalid beacon interval, i.e. a beacon
interval value which does not satisfy the minimum gcd criteria
set by the driver, is set, all the subsequent trials to
bring that interface in AP mode will fail, even if the
subsequent trials have a valid beacon interval.

To avoid this, in case of a failure in bringing up an
interface in AP mode due to interface combination error,
the interface beacon interval which is stored in bss
conf, needs to be restored with the last working value
of beacon interval.

Tested on ath10k using WCN3990.

mac80211: Free mpath object when rhashtable insertion fails

2019-02-15T12:10:32+00:00

When rhashtable insertion fails the mesh table code doesn't free
the now-orphan mesh path object.  This patch fixes that.

mac80211: Use linked list instead of rhashtable walk for mesh tables

2019-02-15T12:10:10+00:00

The mesh table code walks over hash tables for two purposes.  First of
all it's used as part of a netlink dump process, but it is also used
for looking up entries to delete using criteria other than the hash
key.

The second purpose is directly contrary to the design specification
of rhashtable walks.  It is only meant for use by netlink dumps.

This is because rhashtable is resizable and you cannot obtain a
stable walk over it during a resize process.

In fact mesh's use of rhashtable for dumping is bogus too.  Rather
than using rhashtable walk's iterator to keep track of the current
position, it always converts the current position to an integer
which defeats the purpose of the iterator.

Therefore this patch converts all uses of rhashtable walk into a
simple linked list.

This patch also adds a new spin lock to protect the hash table
insertion/removal as well as the walk list modifications.  In fact
the previous code was buggy as the removals can race with each
other, potentially resulting in a double-free.

mac80211: Fix Tx aggregation session tear down with ITXQs

2019-02-11T14:50:56+00:00

When mac80211 requests the low level driver to stop an ongoing
Tx aggregation, the low level driver is expected to call
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() to indicate that it is ready
to stop the session. The callback in turn schedules a worker
to complete the session tear down, which in turn also handles
the relevant state for the intermediate Tx queue.

However, as this flow in asynchronous, the intermediate queue
should be stopped and not continue servicing frames, as in
such a case frames that are dequeued would be marked as part
of an aggregation, although the aggregation is already been
stopped.

Fix this by stopping the intermediate Tx queue, before
calling the low level driver to stop the Tx aggregation.

mac80211: call drv_ibss_join() on restart

2019-02-11T14:50:56+00:00

If a driver does any significant activity in its ibss_join method,
then it will very well expect that to be called during restart,
before any stations are added. Do that.

mac80211: ensure that mgmt tx skbs have tailroom for encryption

2019-02-01T10:08:02+00:00

Some drivers use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX to indicate that management
frames need to be software encrypted. Since normal data packets are still
encrypted by the hardware, crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt gets decremented
after key upload to hw. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb,
which don't have the necessary tailroom for software encryption.

Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.

mac80211: Add attribute aligned(2) to struct 'action'

2019-01-25T09:17:25+00:00

During refactor in commit 9e478066eae4 ("mac80211: fix MU-MIMO
follow-MAC mode") a new struct 'action' was declared with packed
attribute as:

  struct {
          struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr hdr;
          u8 category;
          u8 action_code;
  } __packed action;

But since struct 'ieee80211_hdr_3addr' is declared with an aligned
keyword as:

  struct ieee80211_hdr {
  	__le16 frame_control;
  	__le16 duration_id;
  	u8 addr1[ETH_ALEN];
  	u8 addr2[ETH_ALEN];
  	u8 addr3[ETH_ALEN];
  	__le16 seq_ctrl;
  	u8 addr4[ETH_ALEN];
  } __packed __aligned(2);

Solve the ambiguity of placing aligned structure in a packed one by
adding the aligned(2) attribute to struct 'action'.

This removes the following warning (W=1):

  net/mac80211/rx.c:234:2: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct ' is less than 2 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
