2016-04-12cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg1-2/+2
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2016-04-05mac80211: TDLS: change BW calculation for WIDER_BW peersArik Nemtsov1-5/+25
The previous approach simply ignored chandef restrictions when calculating the appropriate peer BW for a WIDER_BW peer. This could result in a regulatory violation if both peers indicated 80MHz support, but the regdomain forbade it. Change the approach to setting a WIDER_BW peer's BW. Don't exempt it from the chandef width at first. If during TDLS negotiation the chandef width is upgraded, update the peer's BW to match.

2016-02-24mac80211: limit the A-MSDU Tx based on peer's capabilitiesEmmanuel Grumbach1-0/+17
In VHT, the specification allows to limit the number of MSDUs in an A-MSDU in the Extended Capabilities IE. There is also a limitation on the byte size in the VHT IE. In HT, the only limitation is on the byte size. Parse the capabilities from the peer and make them available to the driver. In HT, there is another limitation when a BA agreement is active: the byte size can't be greater than 4095. This is not enforced here.

An AP can send an operating channel width change in a beacon opmode notification IE as long as there's a change in the nss as well (See 802.11ac-2013 section 10.41).

2015-09-04mac80211: avoid VHT usage with no 80MHz chans allowedArik Nemtsov1-0/+15
Currently if 80MHz channels are not allowed for use, the VHT IE is not included in the probe request for an AP. This is not good enough if the AP is configured with the wrong regulatory and supports VHT even where prohibited or in TDLS scenarios. Mark the ifmgd with the DISABLE_VHT flag for the misbehaving-AP case, and unset VHT support from the peer-station entry for the TDLS case.

2015-07-17mac80211: define TDLS wider BW support bitsArik Nemtsov1-2/+6
Allow a device to specify support for the TDLS wider-bandwidth feature. Indicate this support during TDLS setup in the ext-capab IE and set an appropriate station flag when our TDLS peer supports it. This feature gives TDLS peers the ability to use a wider channel than the base width of the BSS. For instance VHT capable TDLS peers connected on a 20MHz channel can extend the channel to 80MHz, if regulatory considerations allow it. Do not cap the bandwidth of such stations by the current BSS channel width in mac80211.

Commit e1a0c6b ("mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40") mistakenly removed the actual update of sta->sta.bandwidth. Refactor ieee80211_sta_cur_vht_bw() into multiple functions (calculate caps-bw and chandef-bw separately, and min them with cur_max_bandwidth).

2014-05-09mac80211: allow VHT with peers not capable of 40MHzJohannes Berg1-3/+6
There are two (related) issues with this. One case, reported by Michal, is related to hostap: it unsets the 20/40 capability bit for stations that associate when it's in 20 MHz mode. The other case, reported by Eyal, is that some APs like Netgear R6300v2 and probably others based on the BCM4360 chipset can be configured for doing VHT at 20Mhz. In this case the beacon has a VHT IE but the HT cap indicates transmitter only support 20Mhz. In both of these cases, we currently avoid VHT and use only HT this means we can't use the highest rates (MCS8), so fixing this leads to throughput improvements.

2013-03-06mac80211: restrict peer's VHT capabilities to ownJohannes Berg1-1/+113
Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more than one device and the devices have different capabilities (often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise, due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC.

2013-02-15mac80211: track number of spatial streamsJohannes Berg1-0/+41

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg1-0/+39
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)
