Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not
enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb.
Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this
commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra
head/tailroom was needed:
commit 4cd06a344d
mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls

This should decrease un-necessary flushes, on/off channel work,
and channel changes in cases where the only scanned channel is
the current operating channel.
* Removes SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL flag, uses SDATA_STATE_OFFCHANNEL
and is-scanning flags instead.
* Add helper method to determine if we are currently configured
for the operating channel.
* Do no blindly go off/on channel in work.c Instead, only call
appropriate on/off code when we really need to change channels.
Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting work,
and disable it when we are done.
* Consolidate ieee80211_offchannel_stop_station and
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_beaconing, call it
ieee80211_offchannel_stop_vifs instead.
* Accept non-beacon frames when scanning on operating channel.
* Scan state machine optimized to minimize on/off channel
transitions. Also, when going on-channel, go ahead and
re-enable beaconing. We're going to be there for 200ms,
so seems like some useful beaconing could happen.
Always enable offchannel-ps mode when starting software
scan, and disable it when we are done.
* Grab local->mtx earlier in __ieee80211_scan_completed_finish

* Pass probe-responses up the stack if scanning on local

On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]:
Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.
The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
and of course, they might miss it completely.
It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

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

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

In order for frame injection to work properly for some use cases
(e.g., finding the station entry and keys for encryption), mac80211
needs to find the correct sdata entry. This works when the main vif

broke this particular use case for station main vif. While this type of
injection is quite unusual operation, it has some uses and we should fix

vif to be selected instead of limiting it to just AP vifs. We still need

"mac80211: fix skb buffering issue" still left a race
between enabling the hardware queues and the virtual
interface queues. In hindsight it's totally obvious
that enabling the netdev queues for a hardware queue
when the hardware queue is enabled is wrong, because
it could well possible that we can fill the hw queue
with packets we already have pending. Thus, we must
only enable the netdev queues once all the pending
packets have been processed and sent off to the device.
In testing, I haven't been able to trigger this race
condition, but it's clearly there, possibly only when
aggregation is being enabled.

Many drivers would like to sleep during station
addition and removal, and currently have a high
complexity there from not being able to.
This introduces two new callbacks sta_add() and
sta_remove() that drivers can implement instead
of using sta_notify() and that can sleep, and
the new sta_add() callback is also allowed to
fail.
The reason we didn't do this previously is that
the IBSS code wants to insert stations from the
RX path, which is a tasklet, so cannot sleep.
This patch will keep the station allocation in
that path, but moves adding the station to the
driver out of line. Since the addition can now
fail, we can have IBSS peer structs the driver
rejected -- in that case we still talk to the
station but never tell the driver about it in
the control.sta pointer. If there will ever be
a driver that has a low limit on the number of
stations and that cannot talk to any stations
that are not known to it, we need to do come up
with a new strategy of handling larger IBSSs,
maybe quicker expiry or rejecting peers.

mac80211: disable software retry for now
Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
better and also points to possible solutions -- which
I can't implement right now.
I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it
must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to
know which key to use etc. Currently, mac80211 does
this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame.
Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key
pointer when selecting the key, and later check it
when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let
it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to
later simply skip the encryption function since it
no longer modifies the TX control.

To make U-APSD client mode effective, we must not wake up from dynamic power
save when transmitting frames. So if dynamic power save is enabled, it needs
check the queue the transmitted packet is in and decide if we need to wake
up or not.
In a perfect world, where all packets would have correct QoS tags, U-APSD
enabled queues should not trigger wakeup from power save. But in the real
world, where very few packets have correct QoS tags, this won't work. For
example, if only voip class has U-APSD enabled and we send a packet in voip
class, but the packets we receive are in best effort class, we would receive
the packets with the legacy power save method. And that would increase
latencies too much from a voip application point of view.
The workaround is to enable U-APSD for all qeueus and still use dynamic ps
wakeup for all other queues except voip. That way we can still save power
with a voip application and not sacrifice latency. Normal traffic (in
background, best effort or video class) would still trigger wakeup from
dynamic power save.

Extend struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask to actually use a bitfield mask

itself does not modify the behavior (except for debugfs files), but it
prepares cfg80211 and mac80211 for a new nl80211 command for setting
which rates can be used in TX rate control.
Since frames are now going through the rate control algorithm
unconditionally, the internal IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO flag can now
be removed. The RC implementations can use the rate_idx_mask value to
optimize their behavior if only a single rate is enabled.
The old max_rate_idx in struct ieee80211_tx_rate_control is maintained

If the basic rate set is configured to not include the lowest rate
(e.g., basic rate set = 6, 12, 24 Mbps in IEEE 802.11g mode), the AP
should not send out broadcast frames at 1 Mbps. This type of
configuration can be used to optimize channel usage in cases where
there is no need for backwards compatibility with IEEE 802.11b-only
devices.
In AP mode, mac80211 was unconditionally using the lowest rate for
Beacon frames and similarly, with all rate control algorithms that use
rate_control_send_low(), the lowest rate ended up being used for all
broadcast frames (and all unicast frames that are sent before
association). Change this to take into account the basic rate

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.
This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.
The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow

When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.
Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.
The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

In some situations it might be useful to run a network with an
Access Point and multiple clients, but with each client bridged
to a network behind it. For this to work, both the client and the
AP need to transmit 4-address frames, containing both source and
destination MAC addresses.
With this patch, you can configure a client to communicate using
only 4-address frames for data traffic.
On the AP side you can enable 4-address frames for individual
clients by isolating them in separate AP VLANs which are configured
in 4-address mode.
Such an AP VLAN will be limited to one client only, and this client
will be used as the destination for all traffic on its interface,
regardless of the destination MAC address in the packet headers.
The advantage of this mode compared to regular WDS mode is that it's
easier to configure and does not require a static list of peer MAC
addresses on any side.

Some devices require that all frames to a station
are flushed when that station goes into powersave
mode before being able to send frames to that
station again when it wakes up or polls -- all in
order to avoid reordering and too many or too few
frames being sent to the station when it polls.
Normally, this is the case unless the station
goes to sleep and wakes up very quickly again.
But in that case, frames for it may be pending
on the hardware queues, and thus races could
happen in the case of multiple hardware queues
used for QoS/WMM. Normally this isn't a problem,
but with the iwlwifi mechanism we need to make
sure the race doesn't happen.
This makes mac80211 able to cope with the race
with driver help by a new WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER
per-station flag that can be controlled by the
driver and tells mac80211 whether it can transmit
frames or not. This flag must be set according to
very specific rules outlined in the documentation
for the function that controls it.
When we buffer new frames for the station, we
normally set the TIM bit right away, but while
the driver has blocked transmission to that sta
we need to avoid that as well since we cannot
respond to the station if it wakes up due to the
TIM bit. Once the driver unblocks, we can set
the TIM bit.
Similarly, when the station just wakes up, we
need to wait until all other frames are flushed
before we can transmit frames to that station,
so the same applies here, we need to wait for
the driver to give the OK.

Consider the following step-by step:
1. A STA authenticates and associates with the AP and exchanges
traffic.
2. The STA reports to the AP that it is going to PS state.
3. Some time later the STA device goes to the stand-by mode (not only
its wi-fi card, but the device itself) and drops the association state
without sending a disassociation frame.
4. The STA device wakes up and begins authentication with an
Auth frame as it hasn't been authenticated/associated previously.
At the step 4 the AP "remembers" the STA and considers it is still in
the PS state, so the AP buffers frames, which it has to send to the STA.
But the STA isn't actually in the PS state and so it neither checks
TIM bits nor reports to the AP that it isn't power saving.
Because of that authentication/[re]association fails.
To fix authentication/[re]association stage of this issue, Auth, Assoc
Resp and Reassoc Resp frames are transmitted disregarding of STA's power
saving state.
