mac80211: tx: delete a redundant if statement in ieee80211_check_fast_xmit()

2022-05-04T20:49:38Z

If statement is meaningless because the code will goto out regardless of whether fast_tx is NULL or not. Signed-off-by: Hangyu Hua Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220413091902.27438-1-hbh25y@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

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: MBSSID beacon handling in AP mode

2022-03-15T10:36:26Z

Add new fields in struct beacon_data to store all MBSSID elements. Generate a beacon template which includes all MBSSID elements. Move CSA offset to reflect the MBSSID element length.

mac80211: use coarse boottime for airtime fairness code

2021-12-20T09:24:41Z

The time values used by the airtime fairness code only need to be accurate enough to cover station activity detection. Using ktime_get_coarse_boottime_ns instead of ktime_get_boottime_ns will drop the accuracy down to jiffies intervals, but at the same time saves a lot of CPU cycles in a hot path Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Acked-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211217114258.14619-1-nbd@nbd.name Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
