mac80211: remove unused and unneeded remove_sta_debugfs callback

2019-07-26T11:21:12Z

The remove_sta_debugfs callback in struct rate_control_ops is no longer used by any driver, as there is no need for it (the debugfs directory is already removed recursivly by the mac80211 core.) Because no one needs it, just remove it to keep anyone else from accidentally using it in the future. Cc: Johannes Berg Cc: "David S.

mac80211: minstrel: merge with minstrel_ht, always enable VHT support

2018-10-11T14:01:01Z

Legacy-only devices are not very common and the overhead of the extra code for HT and VHT rates is not big enough to justify all those extra lines of code to make it optional. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: make rate control tx status API more extensible

2017-04-28T08:57:33Z

Rename .tx_status_noskb to .tx_status_ext and pass a new on-stack struct ieee80211_tx_status instead of struct ieee80211_tx_info. This struct can be used to pass extra information, e.g. for dynamic tx power control Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: reject/clear user rate mask if not usable

2017-03-08T13:20:01Z

If the user rate mask results in no (basic) rates being usable, clear it. Also, if we're already operating when it's set, reject it instead. Technically, selecting basic rates as the criterion is a bit too restrictive, but calculating the usable rates over all stations (e.g. in AP mode) is harder, and all stations must support the basic rates. Similarly, in client mode, the basic rates will be used anyway for control frames. This fixes the "no supported rates (...) in rate_mask ..." warning that occurs on TX when you've selected a rate mask that's not compatible with the connection (e.g. an AP that enables only the rates 36, 48, 54 and you've selected only 6, 9, 12.)

mac80211: remove local pointer from rate_ctrl_ref

2017-03-06T08:21:43Z

This pointer really isn't needed, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: remove sta_info debugfs sub-struct

2016-04-05T09:59:05Z

Since the previous patch, the struct only has a single member, so remove the struct and leave just the single member. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: deinline rate_control_rate_init, rate_control_rate_update

2015-07-17T13:50:02Z

With this .config: http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config, after deinlining these functions have sizes and callsite counts as follows: rate_control_rate_init: 554 bytes, 8 calls rate_control_rate_update: 1596 bytes, 5 calls Total size reduction: about 11 kbytes.

mac80211: lock rate control

2015-04-20T11:05:29Z

Both minstrel (reported by Sven Eckelmann) and the iwlwifi rate control aren't properly taking concurrency into account. It's likely that the same is true for other rate control algorithms. In the case of minstrel this manifests itself in crashes when an update and other data access are run concurrently, for example when the stations change bandwidth or similar. In iwlwifi, this can cause firmware crashes. Since fixing all rate control algorithms will be very difficult, just provide locking for invocations. This protects the internal data structures the algorithms maintain. I've manipulated hostapd to test this, by having it change its advertised bandwidth roughly ever 150ms. At the same time, I'm running a flood ping between the client and the AP, which causes this race of update vs. get_rate/status to easily happen on the client. With this change, the system survives this test. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_status_noskb
