* mac80211: mesh: separate plid and aid conceptsBob Copeland2015-07-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to 802.11-2012 13.3.1, a mesh STA should assign an AID upon receipt of a mesh peering open frame rather than using the link id of the peer. Using the peer link id has two potential issues: it may not be unique among the peers, and by its nature it is random, so the TIM may not compress well. In preparation for allocating it properly, use sta->sta.aid, but keep the existing behavior of using the plid in the aid we send.

* mac80211: move mesh related station fields to own structJohannes Berg2015-07-171-21/+21
| | | | | | | | There are now a fairly large number of mesh fields that really aren't needed in any other modes; move those into their own structure and allocate them separately. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: clear sequence/fragment number in QoS-null framesJohannes Berg2014-03-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid leaking data by sending uninitialized memory and setting an invalid (non-zero) fragment number (the sequence number is ignored anyway) by setting the seq_ctrl field to zero.

* mac80211: clean up mesh local link ID generationThomas Pedersen2013-11-251-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 802.11-2012 13.3.1 implicitly limits the mesh local link ID range to that of AID, since for mesh PS the local link ID must be indicated in the TIM IE, which only holds IEEE80211_MAX_AID bits. Also the code was allowing a local link ID of 0, but this is not correct since that TIM bit is used for indicating buffered mcast frames. Generate a random, unique, link ID from 1 - 2007, and drop a modulo conversion for the local link ID, but keep it for the peer link ID in case he chose something > MAX_AID.

* mac80211: fixes for mesh powersave logicMarco Porsch2013-10-281-15/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes errors in the mesh powersave logic which cause that remote peers do not get peer power mode change notifications and mesh peer service periods (MPSPs) got stuck. When closing a peer link, set the (now invalid) peer-specific power mode to 'unknown'. Avoid overhead when local power mode is unchanged. Reliably clear MPSP flags on peering status update. Avoid MPSP flags getting stuck by not requesting a further MPSP ownership if we already are an MPSP owner.

* mac80211: prevent the buffering or frame transmission to non-assoc mesh STAChun-Yeow Yeoh2013-07-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is intended to avoid the buffering to non-assoc mesh STA and also to avoid the triggering of frame to non-assoc mesh STA which could cause kernel panic in specific hw. One of the examples, is kernel panic happens to ath9k if user space inserts the mesh STA and not proceed with the SAE and AMPE, and later the same mesh STA is detected again. The sta_state of the mesh STA remains at IEEE80211_STA_NONE and if the ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup is called and subsequently the ath_tx_aggr_wakeup, the kernel panic due to ath_tx_node_init is not called before to initialize the require data structures. This issue is reported by Cedric Voncken before. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg106342.html [<831ea6b4>] ath_tx_aggr_wakeup+0x44/0xcc [ath9k] [<83084214>] ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup+0xb8/0x208 [mac80211] [<830b9824>] ieee80211_mps_sta_status_update+0x94/0x108 [mac80211] [<83099398>] ieee80211_sta_ps_transition+0xc94/0x34d8 [mac80211] [<8022399c>] nf_iterate+0x98/0x104 [<8309bb60>] ieee80211_sta_ps_transition+0x345c/0x34d8 [mac80211] Signed-off-by: Chun-Yeow Yeoh <yeohchunyeow@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
* mac80211: consolidate MBSS change notificationThomas Pedersen2013-02-151-7/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | A few mesh utility functions will call ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify(), and then the caller might notify the driver of the same change again. Avoid this redundancy by propagating the BSS changes and generally calling bss_info_change_notify() once per change.

* mac80211: mesh power save basicsMarco Porsch2013-02-041-0/+585
Add routines to - maintain a PS mode for each peer and a non-peer PS mode - indicate own PS mode in transmitted frames - track neighbor STAs power modes - buffer frames when neighbors are in PS mode - add TIM and Awake Window IE to beacons - release frames in Mesh Peer Service Periods Add local_pm to sta_info to represent the link-specific power mode at this station towards the remote station. When a peer link is established, use the default power mode stored in mesh config. Update the PS status if the peering status of a neighbor changes. Maintain a mesh power mode for non-peer mesh STAs. Set the non-peer power mode to active mode during peering. Authenticated mesh peering is currently not working when either node is configured to be in power save mode. Indicate the current power mode in transmitted frames. Use QoS Nulls to indicate mesh power mode transitions. For performance reasons, calls to the function setting the frame flags are placed in HWMP routing routines, as there the STA pointer is already available. Add peer_pm to sta_info to represent the peer's link-specific power mode towards the local station. Add nonpeer_pm to represent the peer's power mode towards all non-peer stations. Track power modes based on received frames. Add the ps_data structure to ieee80211_if_mesh (for TIM map, PS neighbor counter and group-addressed frame buffer). Set WLAN_STA_PS flag for STA in PS mode to use the unicast frame buffering routines in the tx path. Update num_sta_ps to buffer and release group-addressed frames after DTIM beacons. Announce the awake window duration in beacons if in light or deep sleep mode towards any peer or non-peer. Create a TIM IE similarly to AP mode and add it to mesh beacons. Parse received Awake Window IEs and check TIM IEs for buffered frames. Release frames towards peers in mesh Peer Service Periods. Use the corresponding trigger frames and monitor the MPSP status. Append a QoS Null as trigger frame if neccessary to properly end the MPSP. Currently, in HT channels MPSPs behave imperfectly and show large delay spikes and frame losses.
