mac80211: remove unused argument to ieee80211_sta_connection_lost()

2022-05-16T07:15:04Z

We never use the bssid argument to ieee80211_sta_connection_lost() so we might as well just remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: use ifmgd->bssid instead of ifmgd->associated->bssid

2022-05-16T07:13:22Z

Since we always track the BSSID there when we get associated, these are equivalent, but ifmgd->bssid saves a dereference and thus makes the code a bit smaller, and more readable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: fix locking in ieee80211_restart_work()

mac80211: remove unnecessary NULL check in ieee80211_register_hw()

2021-08-13T07:51:03Z

The address "&sband->iftype_data[i]" points to an array at the end of struct. It can't be NULL and so the check can be removed.

mac80211: Switch to a virtual time-based airtime scheduler

2021-06-23T16:12:00Z

This switches the airtime scheduler in mac80211 to use a virtual time-based scheduler instead of the round-robin scheduler used before. This has a couple of advantages: - No need to sync up the round-robin scheduler in firmware/hardware with the round-robin airtime scheduler. - If several stations are eligible for transmission we can schedule both of them; no need to hard-block the scheduling rotation until the head of the queue has used up its quantum. - The check of whether a station is eligible for transmission becomes simpler (in ieee80211_txq_may_transmit()). The drawback is that scheduling becomes slightly more expensive, as we need to maintain an rbtree of TXQs sorted by virtual time. This means that ieee80211_register_airtime() becomes O(logN) in the number of currently scheduled TXQs because it can change the order of the scheduled stations. We mitigate this overhead by only resorting when a station changes position in the tree, and hopefully N rarely grows too big (it's only TXQs currently backlogged, not all associated stations), so it shouldn't be too big of an issue. To prevent divisions in the fast path, we maintain both station sums and pre-computed reciprocals of the sums. This turns the fast-path operation into a multiplication, with divisions only happening as the number of active stations change (to re-compute the current sum of all active station weights). To prevent this re-computation of the reciprocal from happening too frequently, we use a time-based notion of station activity, instead of updating the weight every time a station gets scheduled or de-scheduled. As queues can oscillate between empty and occupied quite frequently, this can significantly cut down on the number of re-computations. It also has the added benefit of making the station airtime calculation independent on whether the queue happened to have drained at the time an airtime value was accounted.

mac80211: remove use of ieee80211_get_he_sta_cap()

2021-06-23T09:33:26Z

All uses of ieee80211_get_he_sta_cap() were actually wrong, in net/mac80211/mlme.c they were wrong because that code is also used for P2P (which is a different interface type), in net/mac80211/main.c that should check all interface types. Fix all that.

mac80211: Properly WARN on HW scan before restart

2021-06-23T09:29:14Z

The following race was possible: 1. The device driver requests HW restart. 2. A scan is requested from user space and is propagated to the driver. During this flow HW_SCANNING flag is set. 3. The thread that handles the HW restart is scheduled, and before starting the actual reconfiguration it checks that HW_SCANNING is not set. The flow does so without acquiring any lock, and thus the WARN fires. Fix this by checking that HW_SCANNING is on only after RTNL is acquired, i.e., user space scan request handling is no longer in transit.
