mac80211: Turn AQL into an NL80211_EXT_FEATURE

2019-12-13T09:34:04Z

Instead of just having an airtime flag in debugfs, turn AQL into a proper NL80211_EXT_FEATURE, so drivers can turn it on when they are ready, and so we also expose the presence of the feature to userspace. This also has the effect of flipping the default, so drivers have to opt in to using AQL instead of getting it by default with TXQs. To keep functionality the same as pre-patch, we set this feature for ath10k (which is where it is needed the most). While we're at it, split out the debugfs interface so AQL gets its own per-station debugfs file instead of using the 'airtime' file. [Johannes:] This effectively disables AQL for iwlwifi, where it fixes a number of issues: * TSO in iwlwifi is causing underflows and associated warnings in AQL * HE (802.11ax) rates aren't reported properly so at HE rates, AQL could never have a valid estimate (it'd use 6 Mbps instead of up to 2400!)

cfg80211: VLAN offload support for set_key and set_sta_vlan

2019-11-08T10:19:19Z

This provides an alternative mechanism for AP VLAN support where a single netdev is used with VLAN tagged frames instead of separate netdevs for each VLAN without tagged frames from the WLAN driver. By setting NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_VLAN_OFFLOAD flag the driver indicates support for a single netdev with VLAN tagged frames. Separate VLAN-specific netdevs can be added using RTM_NEWLINK/IFLA_VLAN_ID similarly to Ethernet. NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY (for group keys), NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION, and NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION will optionally specify vlan_id using NL80211_ATTR_VLAN_ID.

nl80211: Document the expectation for NL80211_ATTR_IE in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT

2019-10-04T11:48:30Z

This commit documents the expectation for NL80211_ATTR_IE when included in NL80211_CMD_CONNECT, as following. Driver shall not modify the IEs specified through NL80211_ATTR_IE if NL80211_ATTR_MAC is included. However, if NL80211_ATTR_MAC_HINT is included, these IEs through NL80211_ATTR_IE are specified by the user space based on the best possible BSS selected. Thus, if the driver ends up selecting a different BSS, it can modify these IEs accordingly (e.g. userspace asks the driver to perform PMKSA caching with BSS1 and the driver ends up selecting BSS2 with different PMKSA cache entry. RSNIE has to get updated with the apt PMKID). Signed-off-by: Sunil Dutt Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1568378504-15179-1-git-send-email-usdutt@codeaurora.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

This is useful for checking how much airtime is being used up by other transmissions on the channel, e.g. by calculating (time_rx - time_bss_rx) or (time_busy - time_bss_rx - time_tx) Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190828102042.58016-1-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels

2019-08-21T09:07:35Z

802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more. Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and configuring EDMG support. Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG capabilities to the userspace: NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16 GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver. When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG. NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth configurations supported by the driver. Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect command and for AP configuration: NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG according to the 802.11ay specification.

In the 802.11ax specification a new band is introduced, which is also proposed by FCC for unlicensed use. This band is referred to as 6GHz spanning frequency range from 5925 to 7125 MHz.
