AQL does not take into account that most HT/VHT/HE traffic is A-MPDU aggregated.
Because of that, the per-packet airtime overhead is vastly overestimated.
Improve it by assuming an average aggregation length of 16 for non-legacy
traffic if not using the VO AC queue.
This should improve performance with high data rates, especially with multiple
stations

When using 802.1X over mesh networks, at first an ordinary
mesh peering is established, then the 802.1X EAPOL dialog
happens, afterwards an authenticated mesh peering exchange
(AMPE) happens, finally the peering is complete and we can
set the STA authorized flag.
As 802.1X is an intermediate step here and key material is
not yet exchanged for stations we have to skip mesh path lookup
for these EAPOL frames. Otherwise the already configure mesh
group encryption key would be used to send a mesh path request
which no one can decipher, because we didn't already establish
key material on both peers, like with SAE and directly using AMPE.

mac80211 used to check port authorization in the Data frame enqueue case
when going through start_xmit(). However, that authorization status may
change while the frame is waiting in a queue. Add a similar check in the

authorization change. This provides additional protection against
potential leaking of frames after a station has been disconnected and
the keys for it are being removed.

If we know that we have an encrypted link (based on having had
a key configured for TX in the past) then drop all data frames
in the key selection handler if there's no key anymore.
This fixes an issue with mac80211 internal TXQs - there we can
buffer frames for an encrypted link, but then if the key is no
longer there when they're dequeued, the frames are sent without
encryption. This happens if a station is disconnected while the
frames are still on the TXQ.
Detecting that a link should be encrypted based on a first key
having been configured for TX is fine as there are no use cases
for a connection going from with encryption to no encryption.
With extended key IDs, however, there is a case of having a key
configured for only decryption, so we can't just trigger this
behaviour on a key being configured.

When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.
This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.
Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so

It turns out that this wasn't a good idea, I hit a test failure in
hwsim due to this. That particular failure was easily worked around,
but it raised questions: if an AP needs to, for example, send action
frames to each connected station, the current limit is nowhere near
enough (especially if those stations are sleeping and the frames are
queued for a while.)
Shuffle around some bits to make more room for ack_frame_id to allow
up to 8192 queued up frames, that's enough for queueing 4 frames to
each connected station, even at the maximum of 2007 stations on a
single AP.
We take the bits from band (which currently only 2 but I leave 3 in
case we add another band) and from the hw_queue, which can only need
4 since it has a limit of 16 queues.

This patch adds a new transmit path for hardware that supports 802.11
encapsulation offloading. In those cases 802.3 frames get passed

Some features such as monitor mode and TKIP would break when encapsulation
offloading is enabled. If any of these get enabled, the code will alwyas
fallback to the normal sw encapsulation data path.
The patch defines a secondary netdev_ops struct that the device gets
assigned if 802.11 encap support is available and enabled. The driver

Instead of just having an airtime flag in debugfs, turn AQL into a proper
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE, so drivers can turn it on when they are ready, and so
we also expose the presence of the feature to userspace.
This also has the effect of flipping the default, so drivers have to opt in
to using AQL instead of getting it by default with TXQs. To keep
functionality the same as pre-patch, we set this feature for ath10k (which
is where it is needed the most).
While we're at it, split out the debugfs interface so AQL gets its own
per-station debugfs file instead of using the 'airtime' file.

This effectively disables AQL for iwlwifi, where it fixes a number of

Fix overwriting of the qos_ctrl.tid field for encrypted frames injected on
a monitor interface. While qos_ctrl.tid is not encrypted, it's used as an
input into the encryption algorithm so it's protected, and thus cannot be
modified after encryption. For injected frames, the encryption may already
have been done in userspace, so we cannot change any fields.
Before passing the frame to the driver, the qos_ctrl.tid field is updated
from skb->priority. Prior to dbd50a851c skb->priority was updated in
ieee80211_select_queue_80211(), but this function is no longer always
called.

The previous commit added the ability to throttle stations when they queue
too much airtime in the hardware. This commit enables the functionality by
calculating the expected airtime usage of each packet that is dequeued from
the TXQs in mac80211, and accounting that as pending airtime.
The estimated airtime for each skb is stored in the tx_info, so we can
subtract the same amount from the running total when the skb is freed or
recycled. The throttling mechanism relies on this accounting to be
accurate (i.e., that we are not freeing skbs without subtracting any
airtime they were accounted for), so we put the subtraction into
ieee80211_report_used_skb(). As an optimisation, we also subtract the
airtime on regular TX completion, zeroing out the value stored in the
packet afterwards, to avoid having to do an expensive lookup of the station
from the packet data on every packet.
This patch does *not* include any mechanism to wake a throttled TXQ again,
on the assumption that this will happen anyway as a side effect of whatever
freed the skb (most commonly a TX completion).

In order for the Fq_CoDel algorithm integrated in mac80211 layer to operate
effectively to control excessive queueing latency, the CoDel algorithm
requires an accurate measure of how long packets stays in the queue, AKA
sojourn time. The sojourn time measured at the mac80211 layer doesn't
include queueing latency in the lower layer (firmware/hardware) and CoDel
expects lower layer to have a short queue. However, most 802.11ac chipsets
offload tasks such TX aggregation to firmware or hardware, thus have a deep
lower layer queue.
Without a mechanism to control the lower layer queue size, packets only
stay in mac80211 layer transiently before being sent to firmware queue.
As a result, the sojourn time measured by CoDel in the mac80211 layer is
almost always lower than the CoDel latency target, hence CoDel does little
to control the latency, even when the lower layer queue causes excessive
latency.
The Byte Queue Limits (BQL) mechanism is commonly used to address the
similar issue with wired network interface. However, this method cannot be
applied directly to the wireless network interface. "Bytes" is not a
suitable measure of queue depth in the wireless network, as the data rate
can vary dramatically from station to station in the same network, from a
few Mbps to over Gbps.
This patch implements an Airtime-based Queue Limit (AQL) to make CoDel work

To implement airtime queue limiting, we need to keep a running account of
the estimated airtime of all skbs queued into the device. Do to this
correctly, we need to store the airtime estimate into the skb so we can
decrease the outstanding balance when the skb is freed. This means that the
time estimate must be stored somewhere that will survive for the lifetime
of the skb.
To get this, decrease the size of the ack_frame_id field to 6 bits, and
lower the size of the ID space accordingly. This leaves 10 bits for use for
tx_time_est, which is enough to store a maximum of 4096 us, if we shift the
values so they become units of 4us.

(i.e. from process context without proper disable of bottom halves),
we add a wrapper that disables bottom halves before calling
ieee80211_tx_dequeue()
The new function is named ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni() just as all other
from-process-context versions found in mac80211.
The documentation of ieee80211_tx_dequeue() is also updated so it
mentions that the function should not be called from process context.

The requirement for mesh link metric refreshing, is that from one
mesh point we be able to send some data frames to other mesh points
which are not currently selected as a primary traffic path, but which
are only 1 hop away. The absence of the primary path to the chosen node
makes it necessary to apply some form of marking on a chosen packet
stream so that the packets can be properly steered to the selected node
for testing, and not by the regular mesh path lookup.

At Technical University of Munich we use MAC 802.11 TX status frames to
perform several measurements in MAC 802.11 setups.
With ath based drivers this was possible until commit d94a461d7a
("ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible") as the driver
ignored the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag and always delivered
tx_status frames. Since that commit, this behavior was changed and the
driver now adheres to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
Due to performance reasons, IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS is not set for
data frames from interfaces in managed mode. Hence, frames that are sent
from a managed mode interface do never deliver tx_status frames. This
remains true even if a monitor mode interface (the measurement interface)
is added to the same ieee80211 physical device. Thus, there is no
possibility for receiving tx_status frames for frames sent on an interface
in managed mode, if the driver adheres to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
In order to force delivery of tx_status frames for research and debugging
purposes, implement a debugfs option force_tx_status for ieee80211 physical
devices. When this option is set for a physical device,
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS is enabled in all packets sent from that
device. This option can be set via
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/<dev>/force_tx_status. The default is disabled.

Currently there is no way for the driver to signal to mac80211 that it should
schedule a TXQ even if there are no packets on the mac80211 part of that queue.
This is problematic if the driver has an internal retry queue to deal with
software A-MPDU retry.
This patch changes the behavior of ieee80211_schedule_txq to always schedule
the queue, as its only user (ath9k) seems to expect such behavior already:
it calls this function on tx status and on powersave wakeup whenever its
internal retry queue is not empty.
Also add an extra argument to ieee80211_return_txq to get the same behavior.
This fixes an issue on ath9k where tx queues with packets to retry (and no
new packets in mac80211) would not get serviced.

Some drivers use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX to indicate that management
frames need to be software encrypted. Since normal data packets are still
encrypted by the hardware, crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt gets decremented
after key upload to hw. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb,
which don't have the necessary tailroom for software encryption.
Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new callback, ieee80211_sta_register_airtime(), is added
that drivers can call to report airtime usage for stations.
When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling. If no airtime usage is reported
by the driver, the scheduler will default to round-robin scheduling.
For drivers that don't control TXQ scheduling in software, a new API
function, ieee80211_txq_may_transmit(), is added which the driver can use
to check if the TXQ is eligible for transmission, or should be throttled to
enforce fairness. Calls to this function must also be enclosed in
ieee80211_txq_schedule_{start,end}() calls to ensure proper locking.
The API ieee80211_txq_may_transmit() also ensures that TXQ list will be
aligned aginst driver's own round-robin scheduler list. i.e it rotates
the TXQ list till it makes the requested node becomes the first entry
in TXQ list. Thus both the TXQ list and driver's list are in sync.

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will
then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty).
The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each
scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API
then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same
session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying
about breaking the loop.
Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time.
In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple
round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the
scheduler.

If the buffered broadcast queue contains packets, letting new packets bypass

In our environment running lots of mesh nodes, we are seeing the
pending queue hang periodically, with the debugfs queues file showing
lines such as:
00: 0x00000000/348
i.e. there are a large number of frames but no stop reason set.
One way this could happen is if queue processing from the pending
tasklet exited early without processing all frames, and without having
some future event (incoming frame, stop reason flag, ...) to reschedule
it.
Exactly this can occur today if ieee80211_tx() returns false due to
packet drops or power-save buffering in the tx handlers. In the
past, this function would return true in such cases, and the change
to false doesn't seem to be intentional. Fix this case by reverting
to the previous behavior.

Rekeying PTK keys without "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed
Frames" did use a procedure not suitable to replace in-use keys and
could caused the following issues:
1) Freeze caused by incoming frames:
If the local STA installed the key prior to the remote STA we still
had the old key active in the hardware when mac80211 switched over
to the new key.
Therefore there was a window where the card could hand over frames
decoded with the old key to mac80211 and bump the new PN (IV) value
to an incorrect high number. When it happened the local replay
detection silently started to drop all frames sent with the new key.
2) Freeze caused by outgoing frames:
If mac80211 was providing the PN (IV) and handed over a clear text
frame for encryption to the hardware prior to a key change the
driver/card could have processed the queued frame after switching
to the new key. This bumped the PN value on the remote STA to an
incorrect high number, tricking the remote STA to discard all frames
we sent later.
3) Freeze caused by RX aggregation reorder buffer:
An aggregation session started with the old key and ending after the
switch to the new key also bumped the PN to an incorrect high number,
freezing the connection quite similar to 1).
4) Freeze caused by repeating lost frames in an aggregation session:
A driver could repeat a lost frame and encrypt it with the new key
while in a TX aggregation session without updating the PN for the
new key. This also could freeze connections similar to 2).
5) Clear text leak:
Removing encryption offload from the card cleared the encryption
offload flag only after the card had deleted the key and we did not
stop TX during the rekey. The driver/card could therefore get
unencrypted frames from mac80211 while no longer be instructed to
encrypt them.
To prevent those issues the key install logic has been changed:
- Mac80211 divers known to be able to rekey PTK0 keys have to set
@NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0,
- mac80211 stops queuing frames depending on the key during the replace
- the key is first replaced in the hardware and after that in mac80211
- and mac80211 stops/blocks new aggregation sessions during the rekey.
For drivers not setting
@NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 the user space must avoid PTK
rekeys if "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed Frames" is not
being used. Rekeys for mac80211 drivers without this flag will generate a
warning and use an extra call to ieee80211_flush_queues() to both
highlight and try to prevent the issues with not updated drivers.
The core of the fix changes the key install procedure from:
- atomic switch over to the new key in mac80211
- remove the old key in the hardware (stops encryption offloading, fall
back to software encryption with a potential clear text packet leak
in between)
- delete the inactive old key in mac80211
- enable hardware encryption offloading for the new key
to:
- if it's a PTK mark the old key as tainted to drop TX frames with the
outgoing key
- replace the key in hardware with the new one
- atomic switch over to the new (not marked as tainted) key in
mac80211 (which also resumes TX)
- delete the inactive old key in mac80211
With the new sequence the hardware will be unable to decrypt frames
encrypted with the old key prior to switching to the new key in mac80211
and thus prevent PNs from packets decrypted with the old key to be
accounted against the new key.
For that to work the drivers have to provide a clear boundary.
Mac80211 drivers setting @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 confirm
to provide it and mac80211 will then be able to correctly rekey in-use
PTK keys with those drivers.
The mac80211 requirements for drivers to set the flag have been added to
the "Hardware crypto acceleration" documentation section. It drills down
to:
The drivers must not hand over frames decrypted with the old key to
mac80211 once the call to set_key() with %DISABLE_KEY has been
completed. It's allowed to either drop or continue to use the old key
for any outgoing frames which are already in the queues, but it must not
send out any of them unencrypted or encrypted with the new key.
Even with the new boundary in place aggregation sessions with the
reorder buffer are problematic:
RX aggregation session started prior and completed after the rekey could
still dump frames received with the old key at mac80211 after it
switched over to the new key. This is side stepped by stopping all (RX
and TX) aggregation sessions when replacing a PTK key and hardware key
offloading.
Stopping TX aggregation sessions avoids the need to get
the PNs (IVs) updated in frames prepared for the old key and
(re)transmitted after the switch to the new key. As a bonus it improves
the compatibility when the remote STA is not handling rekeys as it
should.
When using software crypto aggregation sessions are not stopped.
Mac80211 won't be able to decode the dangerous frames and discard them
without special handling.

Initialize 'n' to 2 in order to take into account also the first
packet in the estimation of max_subframe limit for a given A-MSDU

In the error path of changing the SKB headroom of the second
A-MSDU subframe, we would not account for the already-changed
length of the first frame that just got converted to be in
A-MSDU format and thus is a bit longer now.
Fix this by doing the necessary accounting.
It would be possible to reorder the operations, but that would
make the code more complex (to calculate the necessary pad),
and the headroom expansion should not fail frequently enough
to make that worthwhile.

When building building AMSDU from non-linear SKB, we hit a
kernel panic when trying to push the padding to the tail.
Instead, put the padding at the head of the next subframe.
This also fixes the A-MSDU subframes to not have the padding
accounted in the length field and not have pad at all for
the last subframe, both required by the spec.

Sometimes, it is required to stop the transmissions momentarily and
resume it later; stopping the txqs becomes very critical in scenarios where
the packet transmission has to be ceased completely. For example, during
the hardware restart, during off channel operations,
when initiating CSA(upon detecting a radar on the DFS channel), etc.
The TX queue stop/start logic in mac80211 works well in stopping the TX
when drivers make use of netdev queues, i.e, when Qdiscs in network layer
take care of traffic scheduling. Since the devices implementing
wake_tx_queue can run without Qdiscs, packets will be handed to mac80211
directly without queueing them in the netdev queues.
Also, mac80211 does not invoke any of the
netif_stop_*/netif_wake_* APIs if wake_tx_queue is implemented.
Since the queues are not stopped in this case, transmissions can continue
and this will impact negatively on the operation of the wireless device.
For example,
During hardware restart, we stop the netdev queues so that packets are
not sent to the driver. Since ath10k implements wake_tx_queue,
TX queues will not be stopped and packets might reach the hardware while
it is restarting; this can make hardware unresponsive and the only
possible option for recovery is to reboot the entire system.
There is another problem to this, it is observed that the packets
were sent on the DFS channel for a prolonged duration after radar
detection impacting the channel closing time.
We can still invoke netif stop/wake APIs when wake_tx_queue is implemented
but this could lead to packet drops in network layer; adding stop/start
logic for software TXQs in mac80211 instead makes more sense; the change
proposed adds the same in mac80211.

Since (QoS) NDP frames shouldn't be put into aggregation nor are
assigned real sequence numbers, etc. it's better to treat them as
non-data packets and not put them on the normal TXQs, for example
when building A-MPDUs they need to be treated specially, and they
are more used for management (e.g. to see if the station is alive)
anyway.

Since we now have the convenient helper to do so, actually adjust the
TSQ pacing shift for packets going out over a WiFi interface. This
significantly improves throughput for locally-originated TCP
connections. The default pacing shift of 10 corresponds to ~1ms of
queued packet data. Adjusting this to a shift of 8 (i.e. ~4ms) improves
1-hop throughput for ath9k by a factor of 3, whereas increasing it more
has diminishing returns.
Achieved throughput for different values of sk_pacing_shift (average of
5 iterations of 10-sec netperf runs to a host on the other side of the
WiFi hop):
sk_pacing_shift 10: 43.21 Mbps (pre-patch)
sk_pacing_shift 9: 78.17 Mbps
sk_pacing_shift 8: 123.94 Mbps
sk_pacing_shift 7: 128.31 Mbps
Latency for competing flows increases from ~3 ms to ~10 ms with this
change. This is about the same magnitude of queueing latency induced by
flows that are not originated on the WiFi device itself (and so are not
limited by TSQ).

This adds airtime accounting and scheduling to the mac80211 TXQ
scheduler. A new hardware flag, AIRTIME_ACCOUNTING, is added that
drivers can set if they support reporting airtime usage of
transmissions. When this flag is set, mac80211 will expect the actual
airtime usage to be reported in the tx_time and rx_time fields of the
respective status structs.
When airtime information is present, mac80211 will schedule TXQs
(through ieee80211_next_txq()) in a way that enforces airtime fairness
between active stations. This scheduling works the same way as the ath9k
in-driver airtime fairness scheduling.

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs and changes the
interface between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling as follows:
- The wake_tx_queue callback interface no longer includes the TXQ. Instead,
the driver is expected to retrieve that from ieee80211_next_txq()
- Two new mac80211 functions are added: ieee80211_next_txq() and
ieee80211_schedule_txq(). The former returns the next TXQ that should be
scheduled, and is how the driver gets a queue to pull packets from. The
latter is called internally by mac80211 to start scheduling a queue, and
the driver is supposed to call it to re-schedule the TXQ after it is
finished pulling packets from it (unless the queue emptied).
The ath9k and ath10k drivers are changed to use the new API.
