mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support

2022-04-11T14:42:03Z

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented using sta_info datastructure with the associated STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta part of it. With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level communication can happen via different advertised links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class, BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link STA parameters within a composite sta_info object called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of MLD STA are identified using the link address which can be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique link id based on the link vif. To support extension of such a model, the sta_info datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA objects with link specific params currently within sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial driver changes are expected to support this. For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink' member. For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to get the correct link ID and access the correct part of the station info. Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id being 0 for non MLO supported cases. Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the link STA info via deflink. @ieee80211_sta@ struct ieee80211_sta *s; struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr}; @@ ( s-> - var + deflink.var | si->sta. - var + deflink.var ) @sta_info@ struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {gtk, pcpu_rx_stats, rx_stats, rx_stats_avg, status_stats, tx_stats, cur_max_bandwidth}; @@ ( si-> - var + deflink.var ) Signed-off-by: Sriram R Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1649086883-13246-1-git-send-email-quic_srirrama@quicinc.com [remove MLO-drivers notes from commit message, not clear yet; run spatch] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: allow SMPS requests only in client mode

2021-06-23T09:29:13Z

The code currently allows this for AP mode, but then ignores it. Clarify that since the spec doesn't allow it in AP mode.

mac80211: add support for the ADDBA extension element

2019-07-29T14:40:22Z

HE allows peers to negotiate the aggregation fragmentation level to be used during transmission. The level can be 1-3. The Ext element is added behind the ADDBA request inside the action frame. The responder will then reply with the same level or a lower one if the requested one is not supported. This patch only handles the negotiation part as the ADDBA frames get passed to the ATH11k firmware, which does the rest of the magic for us aswell as generating the requests.

mac80211: allow overriding HT STBC capabilities

2019-01-19T08:53:49Z

Allow user to override STBC configuration for Rx and Tx spatial streams. In practice RX/TX STBC settings can be modified using appropriate options in wpa_supplicant configuration file: tx_stbc=-1..1 rx_stbc=-1..3 This functionality has been added to wpa_supplicant in commit cdeea70f59d0. In FullMAC case these STBC options are passed to drivers by cfg80211 connect callback in fields of cfg80211_connect_params structure. However for mac80211 drivers, e.g. for mac80211_hwsim, overrides for STBC settings are ignored. The reason why RX/TX STBC capabilities are not modified for mac80211 drivers is as follows. All drivers need to specify supported HT/VHT overrides explicitly: see ht_capa_mod_mask and vht_capa_mod_mask fields of wiphy structure. Only supported overrides will be passed to drivers by cfg80211_connect and cfg80211_mlme_assoc operations: see bitwise 'AND' performed by cfg80211_oper_and_ht_capa and cfg80211_oper_and_vht_capa. This commit adds RX/TX STBC HT capabilities to mac80211_ht_capa_mod_mask, allowing their modifications, as well as applies requested STBC modifications in function ieee80211_apply_htcap_overrides.
