cfg80211: allow requesting SMPS mode on ap start

2014-09-11T11:37:02Z

Add feature bits to indicate device support for static-smps and dynamic-smps modes. Add a new NL80211_ATTR_SMPS_MODE attribue to allow configuring the smps mode to be used by the ap (e.g. configuring to ap to dynamic smps mode will reduce power consumption while having minor effect on throughput) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: add WMM traffic stream API

2014-09-11T10:21:18Z

Add nl80211 and driver API to validate, add and delete traffic streams with appropriate settings. The API calls for userspace doing the action frame handshake with the peer, and then allows only to set up the parameters in the driver. To avoid setting up a session only to tear it down again, the validate API is provided, but the real usage later can still fail so userspace must be prepared for that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: enable dynack through nl80211

2014-09-05T11:54:03Z

Enable ACK timeout estimation algorithm (dynack) using mac80211 set_coverage_class API. Dynack is activated passing coverage class equals to -1 to lower drivers and it is automatically disabled setting valid value for coverage class. Define NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_DYN_ACK flag attribute to enable dynack from userspace. In order to activate dynack NL80211_FEATURE_ACKTO_ESTIMATION feature flag must be set by lower drivers to indicate dynack capability. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: Add flag attribute for RRM connections

2014-09-05T11:52:08Z

Add a flag attribute to use in associations, for tagging the target connection as supporting RRM. It is the responsibility of upper layers to set this flag only if both the underlying device, and the target network indeed support RRM. To be used in ASSOCIATE and CONNECT commands.

nl80211: Allow declaring RRM-related features

2014-09-05T11:52:08Z

Radio Resource Measurement (RRM) is a bundle of features which will require the entire stack to participate. In this patch, the driver is given the opportunity to advertise the device's support for these RRM-related features, using feature flags: 1. Support for Quiet IEs. 2. Support for adding DS Parameter Set IE to probe requests. 3. Support for adding WFA TPC Report IE to probe requests. 4. Support for inserting tx power value to tx-ed packets at a fixed offset. This is used in action frames, such as RRM's Link Measurement Report, where the actual tx power should be reported in the frame.

cfg80211: clarify BSS probe response vs. beacon data

2014-08-26T09:16:01Z

There are a few possible cases of where BSS data came from: 1) only a beacon has been received 2) only a probe response has been received 3) the driver didn't report what it received (this happens when using cfg80211_inform_bss[_width]()) 4) both probe response and beacon data has been received Unfortunately, in the userspace API, a few things weren't there: a) there was no way to differentiate cases 1) and 4) above without comparing the data of the IEs b) the TSF was always from the last frame, instead of being exposed for beacon/probe response separately like IEs Fix this by i) exporting a new flag attribute that indicates whether or not probe response data has been received - this addresses (a) ii) exporting a BEACON_TSF attribute that holds the beacon's TSF if a beacon has been received iii) not exporting the beacon attributes in case (3) above as that would just lead userspace into thinking the data actually came from a beacon when that isn't clear To implement this, track inside the IEs struct whether or not it (definitely) came from a beacon.

cfg80211: pass TDLS initiator in tdls_mgmt operations

2014-06-23T12:24:55Z

The TDLS initiator is set once during link setup. If determines the address ordering in the link identifier IE. Fix dependent drivers - mwifiex and mac80211. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: export expected throughput through get_station()

2014-05-20T13:13:32Z

Users may need information about the expected throughput towards a given peer. This value is supposed to consider the size overhead generated by the 802.11 header. This value is exported in kbps through the get_station() API by including it into the station_info object. Moreover, it is sent to user space when replying to the nl80211 GET_STATION command. This information will be useful to the batman-adv module which will use it for its new metric computation. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211: Support multiple CSA counters

2014-05-15T13:00:42Z

Change the type of NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_BEACON and NL80211_ATTR_CSA_C_OFF_PRESP to be NLA_BINARY which allows userspace to use beacons and probe responses with multiple CSA counters. This isn't breaking the API since userspace can continue to use nla_put_u16 for this attributes, which is equivalent to a single element u16 array. In addition advertise max number of supported CSA counters. This is needed when using CSA and eCSA IEs together.
