mac80211: Add support to trigger sta disconnect on hardware restart

2022-03-11T10:59:19+00:00

Currently in case of target hardware restart, we just reconfig and re-enable the security keys and enable the network queues to start data traffic back from where it was interrupted. Many ath10k wifi chipsets have sequence numbers for the data packets assigned by firmware and the mac sequence number will restart from zero after target hardware restart leading to mismatch in the sequence number expected by the remote peer vs the sequence number of the frame sent by the target firmware. This mismatch in sequence number will cause out-of-order packets on the remote peer and all the frames sent by the device are dropped until we reach the sequence number which was sent before we restarted the target hardware In order to fix this, we trigger a sta disconnect, in case of target hw restart. After this there will be a fresh connection and thereby avoiding the dropping of frames by remote peer. The right fix would be to pull the entire data path into the host which is not feasible or would need lots of complex changes and will still be inefficient.

mac80211: Add EHT capabilities to association/probe request

2022-02-16T14:44:00+00:00

Add the EHT capabilities element to both probe request and association request frames, if advertised by the driver. Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220214173004.2ec94388acee.I40d2ef06099cb091e9c2c01f8ef521b993a3d559@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Add initial support for EHT and 320 MHz channels

2022-02-16T14:43:48+00:00

Add initial support for EHT and 320 MHz bandwidth in mac80211. As a new IEEE80211_STA_RX_BW_320 is added to enum ieee80211_sta_rx_bandwidth, update the drivers to avoid compilation warnings.

mac80211: parse only HE capability elements with valid size

2022-02-16T14:40:48+00:00

The code validates the HE capability element size later, but slightly wrong, so use the new helper to do it right and only accept it if it has a good size. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220214172920.b5b06f264a61.I645ac1e2dc0ace223ef3e551cd5a71c88bd55e04@changeid Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: limit bandwidth in HE capabilities

2022-02-04T15:22:39+00:00

If we're limiting bandwidth for some reason such as regulatory restrictions, then advertise that limitation just like we do for VHT today, so the AP is aware we cannot use the higher BW it might be using.

mac80211: Add stations iterator where the iterator function may sleep

2022-01-04T14:47:15+00:00

ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() already exist, where the former allows the iterator function to sleep. Add ieee80211_iterate_stations() which is similar to ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() but allows the iterator to sleep. This is needed for adding SDIO support to the rtw88 driver. Some interators there are reading or writing registers. With the SDIO ops (sdio_readb, sdio_writeb and friends) this means that the iterator function may sleep.

mac80211: do drv_reconfig_complete() before restarting all

2021-12-14T10:22:20+00:00

When we reconfigure, the driver might do some things to complete the reconfiguration. It's strange and could be broken in some cases because we restart other works (e.g. remain-on-channel and TX) before this happens, yet only start queues later. Change this to do the reconfig complete when reconfiguration is actually complete, not when we've already started doing other things again. For iwlwifi, this should fix a race where the reconfig can race with TX, for ath10k and ath11k that also use this it won't make a difference because they just start queues there, and mac80211 also stopped the queues and will restart them later as before.
