2012-08-13mac80211: fix unnecessary beacon update after peering status changeMarco Porsch1-1/+1
ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify is called everytime a peer link is established or closed, because the accepting_plinks flag in the meshconf IE *might* have changed. With this patch the corresponding functions return the BSS_CHANGED_BEACON flag when a beacon update is necessary. Also it makes mesh_accept_plinks_update the common place to update the accepting_plinks flag. mesh_accept_plinks_update is called upon plink change and also periodically from ieee80211_mesh_housekeeping. Thus, it also picks up changes of local->num_sta. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@etit.tu-chemnitz.de> Acked-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-06-18{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationIntervalChun-Yeow Yeoh1-0/+2
As defined in section 13.10.9.3 Case D (802.11-2012), this control variable is used to limit the mesh STA to send only one PREQ to a root mesh STA within this interval of time (in TUs). The default value for this variable is set to 2000 TUs. However, for current implementation, the maximum configurable of dot11MeshHWMPconfirmationInterval is restricted by dot11MeshHWMPactivePathTimeout.

2012-04-10mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization frameworkJavier Cardona1-0/+19
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev <pavel.zubarev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2012-04-09mac80211: fix the RANN propagation issuesChun-Yeow Yeoh1-0/+2
This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation: [1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN. [2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA). [3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done before deciding whether to propagate or not.

2011-11-09mac80211: Avoid filling up mesh preq queue with redundant requestsJavier Cardona1-0/+3
Don't accept redundant PREQs for a given destination. This fixes a problem under high load: kernel: [20386.250913] mesh_queue_preq: 235 callbacks suppressed kernel: [20386.253335] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full kernel: [20386.253352] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full (...) The 802.11s protocol has a provision to limit the rate of path requests (PREQs) are transmitted (dot11MeshHWMPpreqMinInterval) but there was no limit on the rate at which PREQs were being queued up. There is a valid reason for queuing PREQs: this way we can even out PREQ bursts. But queueing multiple PREQs for the same destination is useless.

2011-05-16mac80211: fix and simplify mesh lockingJohannes Berg1-0/+3
The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy (though really only technically since it's invoked from a single function only) since it obtains the new size of the table without any locking, so two invocations of the function could attempt the same resize. Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here. Modify the functions to only use the table lock and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().

2011-05-16mac80211: sparse RCU annotationsJohannes Berg1-1/+1
This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be done. Due the the previous patches, the annotations are pretty simple. The only thing that this actually changes is removing the RCU usage of key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has a single assignment done before the key even goes live).

2010-12-20mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.Javier Cardona1-2/+2
The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4. If there are 2, they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th address in the 802.11 header). The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2. I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft. See section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0). Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats. But I thought I better remove it before someone does start using it. Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2010-12-06cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commandsJohannes Berg1-25/+0
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up, add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured when the device goes up. Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to start the mesh on interface up. We now allow querying mesh parameters before the mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults. Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is only allowed while connected. Specify them with the new mesh join command instead where needed. In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done by testing the mesh ID.
