Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
The duplicate detection code currently expects A-MSDU frames to be encaped -
they're decap'ed /after/ duplicate detection.
However for ath10k (and iwm hardware later on) the firmware supports
doing A-MSDU decap in hardware - which shows up as multiple frames with
the same sequence number and IV.
This is the first part of decap handling - if we see a stretch of A-MSDU
frames from the driver with the MORE bit set, then don't treat them
as duplicates.
This isn't 100% complete as crypto sequence number handling and "A-MSDU in
A-MPDU" needs handling, but it's a start.
This should be a glorified no-op for everyone. Please tell me if it isn't.
Fragment number field (part of i_seq) is used for AAD calculation;
as a result, without this patch every driver without h/w crypto support
need to clear it before ieee80211_crypto_encap().
Also fixes rtwn(4) A-MPDU Tx with dev.rtwn.%d.hwcrypto tunable
set to 0 (h/w crypto is disabled).
Tested with:
* Intel 6205, STA mode.
* RTL8188EU, STA mode.

When doing AMSDU offload, the driver (for now!) presents 802.11 frames with
the same sequence number and crypto sequence number / IV values up to the stack.
But, this will trip afoul over the sequence number detection.
So drivers now have a way to signify that a frame is part of an offloaded
AMSDU group, so we can just ensure that we pass those frames up to the
stack.
The logic will be a bit messy - the TL;DR will be that if it's part of
the previously seen sequence number then it belongs in the same burst.
But if we get a repeat of the same sequence number (eg we sent an ACK
but the receiver didn't hear it) then we shouldn't be passing those frames
up. So, we can't just say "all subframes go up", we need to track
whether we've seen the end of a burst of frames for the given sequence
number or not, so we know whether to actually pass them up or not.
The first part of doing all of this is to ensure the ieee80211_rx_stats
struct is available in the RX sequence number check path and the
RX ampdu reorder path. So, start by passing the pointer into these
functions to avoid doing another lookup.
The actual support will come in a subsequent commit once I know the
functionality actually works!
For now there isn't any per-VAP WME state. The eventual aim is to migrate
the driver direct use of WME parameters over to use these methods as
appropriate (global for most devices, per-VAP for firmware NICs that support
it) in preparation for actual per-VAP WME (and other thing) state change
support.
This is in preparation for A-MSDU decap in A-MPDU support.
* refactor out the code to purge a single reorder slot into ampdu_rx_purge_slot().
* refactor out the code to add a frame to the given reorder slot
to ampdu_rx_add_slot().
This should be a big no-op as far as current code is concerned.

The "dispatch a frame from the A-MPDU reorder buffer" code is essentially
duplicated in a couple of places. This refactors it out into a single
place in preparation for A-MSDU in A-MPDU offload support, where multiple
A-MSDUs are decap'ed in hardware to 802.3/802.11 frames, but with the
same sequence number.

This should allow to drop 'ieee80211_ff_[age/flush]' calls from drivers

As part of (eventual) p2p/tdls/multi-STA support, a lot of global configuration
parameters (WME, ERP (slot, preamble), channel width, HT protmode, etc are the
biggest offenders) should be per-VAP.
For multi-BSS VAP operation they may be linked, but for p2p/TDLS
operation that can be off-channel they can definitely be different
(think: 2GHz STA, 5GHz p2p.)
The global configuration view of these is mostly a "configure the current
non-smart-firmware NIC" view. This should be split up into per-VAP state,
then a global non-smart-firmware-NIC management layer to handle channel
changes and such in software.
This is step one in a loooong road for this. It should be a big non-functional
change for everyone.
* create a per-VAP WME update call.
* call it if its set, and call the global callback if it isn't
This still uses global WME state - it's just preparation for a future change
which will make the WME state per-VAP and fall through to a shared WME
configuration for hostap operation.
Note: this requires a full kernel recompile; the internal net80211 ABI has changed.

After some digging and looking at packet traces, it looks like the
sequence number allocation being done by net80211 doesn't meet
802.11-2012.
Specifically, group addressed frames (broadcast, multicast) have
sequence numbers allocated from a separate pool, even if they're
QoS frames.
This patch starts to try and address this, both on transmit and
receive.
* When receiving, don't throw away multicast frames for now.
It's sub-optimal, but until we correctly track group addressed
frames via another TID counter, this is the best we can do.
* When doing A-MPDU checks, don't include group addressed frames
in the sequence number checks.
* When transmitting, don't allocate group frame sequence numbers
from the TID, instead use the NONQOS TID for allocation.
This may fix iwn(4) 11n because I /think/ this was one of the
handful of places where ni_txseqs[] was being assigned /outside/
of the driver itself.
This however doesn't completely fix things - notably the way that
TID assignment versus WME assignment for driver hardware queues
will mess up multicast ordering. For example, if all multicast
QoS frames come from one sequence number space but they're
expected to obey the QoS value assigned, they'll end up in
different queues in the hardware and go out in different
orders.
I can't fix that right now and indeed fixing it will require some
pretty heavy lifting of both the WME<->TID QoS assignment, as well
as figuring out what the correct way for drivers to behave.
For example, both iwn(4) and ath(4) shouldn't put QoS multicast
traffic into the same output queue as aggregate traffic, because
the sequence numbers are all wrong. So perhaps the correct thing
to do there is ignore the WME/TID for QoS traffic and map it all
to the best effort queue or something, and ensure it doesn't
muck up the TID/blockack window tracking. However, I'm /pretty/
sure that is still going to happen.
.. maybe I should disable multicast QoS frames in general as well,
but I don't know what that'll do for whatever the current state
of 802.11s mesh support is.
Tested:
* STA mode, ath10k NIC
* AP mode, AR9344/AR9580 AP
* iperf tcp/udp tests with concurrent multicast QoS traffic.
Before this, iperfs would fail pretty quickly because the sending
AP would start sending out QoS multicast frames that would be
out of order from the rest of the TID traffic, causing the blockack
window to get way, way out of sync.
This now doesn't occur.
TODO:
* verify which QoS frames SHOULD be tagged as M_AMPDU_MPDU.
For example, QoS NULL frames shouldn't be tagged!

* allocate an ext bit for VHT and start using it.
I added IEEE80211_TX_LOCK() a few years ago because there were races between
seqno allocation, driver queuing and crypto IV allocation. This meant that
they'd appear out of sequence and the receiver would drop them, leading to
terrible performance or flat out traffic hangs.
This flag should be set by drivers that do their own sequence number
allocation for all frames it needs to happen for, including beacon frames.
Eventually this should lead to the driver taking care of locking for
allocating seqno and other traffic-triggered events (eg addba setup.)
This is the bulk of the magic to start enabling VHT channel negotiation.
It is absolutely, positively not yet even a complete VHT wave-1 implementation.

* break apart the channel upgrade from the HT IE parsing - do it after the
VHT IEs are parsed;

This is the main bit where negotiated channel promotion through IEs occur.
* Shoehorn in VHT node init ,teardown, rate control, etc calls like the HT
versions;
* Do VHT channel adjustment where appropriate

TODO:

* VHT basic rate negotiation and acceptance criteria when scanning, associating, etc;
* VHT control/management frame handling (group managment and operating mode being

* Verify TX/RX VHT rate negotiation is actually working correctly.
Whilst here, add some comments about seqno allocation and locking. To achieve
the full VHT rates I need to push seqno allocation into the drivers and
finally remove the IEEE80211_TX_LOCK() I added years ago to fix issues. :/
This sets up:
* vht capabilities in vaps;
* calls vht_announce to announce VHT capabilities if any;
* sets up vht20, vht40 and vht80 channels, assuming the regulatory code
does the right thing with 80MHz available ranges;
* adds support to the ieee80211_add_channel_list_5ghz() code to populate
VHT channels, as this is the API my ath10k driver is using;
* add support for the freq1/freq2 field population and lookup that
VHT channels require.
The VHT80 code assumes that the regulatory domain already has limited VHT80
bands to, well, 80MHz wide chunks.
This is needed for two reasons:
* Drivers will need to know what the negotiated set of VHT capabilities
and rates are in order to configure (and reconfigure for opmode/chanwidth
changes) how to speak to a given peer; and
* Because some vendors are "special", we should be careful in what we announce
to them during peer association.
This isn't the complete solution, as I still need to make sure that when
sending out probe requests before we know what we want, we don't limit
the capabilities being announced. This is important for IBSS/mesh work
later on as probe request/response exchanges are the first hint at what
a peer supports. I'll look at adding that to the API soon.
