Javier Cardona dbf498fbaf mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization framework
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.

Johannes Berg 074d46d1d2 wireless: rename ht_info to ht_operation
Since some of the HT code pre-dates 802.11n-2009
some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most
is that "HT operation" is called "HT information"
in our code and that causes confusion.

Johannes Berg 3df6eaea76 mac80211: accept public action frames with mismatched BSSID
Arik's patch "mac80211: allow action frames with unknown
BSSID in GO mode" allowed any action frames in P2P mode
to go through, but only to cooked monitor interfaces as
the IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH was still cleared. As a result
my no-monitor patches broke invitation responses.

Instead of allowing any action frames in P2P GO mode to
go through with a wrong BSSID like that patch did, allow
all public action frames. They will never be processed
by mac80211, but can be reported via nl80211 then.

Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate
local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by

or assembled as an action frame. It is transmitted either directly or
through the AP, as mandated by the TDLS specification.

Declare support for the TDLS external setup wiphy capability. This
tells usermode to handle link setup and discovery on its own, and use the

Javier Cardona 61ad539459 mac80211: Remove unused third address from mesh address extension header.
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

Steve deRosier cfdfa4d3a0 mac80211: Update mesh constants to approved IEEE ANA values
This patch updates IEEE802.11 mesh constants to be consistent with newly
approved values. It modifies some values, as well as adds many new constants
in preparation for updating mesh code to the current 802.11s drafts. ANA
numbers were taken from:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-0031-12-0000-ana-database-assigned-number-authority.xls

A few notes are in order:
1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as
over-the-air constants have changed.
2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code
itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to
keep the existing mesh scheme working until it can be updated. Adding the
approved values is the first step in updating the mesh code.
3. Obsolete constants have been clearly marked.
4. All ANA approved 802.11s constants have been added.

Johannes Berg 098a607091 mac80211: clean up/fix aggregation code
The aggregation code has a number of quirks, like
inventing an unneeded WLAN_BACK_TIMER value and
leaking memory under certain circumstances during
station destruction. Fix these issues by using
the regular aggregation session teardown code and
blocking new aggregation sessions, all before the
station is really destructed.

As a side effect, this gets rid of the long code
block to destroy aggregation safely.

Additionally, rename tid_state_rx which can only
have the values IDLE and OPERATIONAL to
tid_active_rx to make it easier to understand
that there is no bitwise stuff going on on the
RX side -- the TX side remains because it needs
to keep track of the driver and peer states.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
possible to save even more power.

Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Add two new functions, ieee80211_pspoll_get() and ieee80211_nullfunc_get()
which drivers need to call to get the frame. Drivers are also responsible
for updating the templates after each association.

Johannes Berg 9a418af5df mac80211: fix peer HT capabilities
I noticed yesterday, because Jeff had noticed
a speed regression, cf. bug
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with
the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits.

The bug was part of the original HT code from
over two years ago, but unfortunately nobody
noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
capabilities with our own.

While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
capabilities is completely useless for most of
the bits, so also fix those other bits.

Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
longer exists in the final 802.11n version, so
also remove that.

Jouni Malinen 636a5d3625 nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.

The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).

The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.

The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.

This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

Luis R. Rodriguez 3f2355cb91 cfg80211/mac80211: Add 802.11d support
This adds country IE parsing to mac80211 and enables its usage
within the new regulatory infrastructure in cfg80211. We parse
the country IEs only on management beacons for the BSSID you are
associated to and disregard the IEs when the country and environment
(indoor, outdoor, any) matches the already processed country IE.

To avoid following misinformed or outdated APs we build and use
a regulatory domain out of the intersection between what the AP
provides us on the country IE and what CRDA is aware is allowed
on the same country.

A secondary device is allowed to follow only the same country IE
as it make no sense for two devices on a system to be in two
different countries.

In the case the AP is using country IEs for an incorrect country
the user may help compliance further by setting the regulatory
domain before or after the IE is parsed and in that case another
intersection will be performed.

CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is supported but requires CRDA
present.

This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be
used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values
can be written into this file to change PS mode:
0 = power save disabled (constantly awake)
1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll)
2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive
    buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented
3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame)

Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested:
- move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a
  time)
- move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps'
  debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a time

Mode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but
eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a
traffic bit is set for our AID.

checked in these helpers.  They have been added for all mgmt and ctl stypes
in the same order as the STYPE defines.

3) ieee80211_get_* is meant to take a struct ieee80211_hdr * and returns a
pointer to somewhere in the struct, see get_SA, get_DA, get_qos_ctl.

The intel wireless drivers had helpers that used this namespace, convert the
all to use the new helpers and remove the byteshifting as they were defined
in cpu-order rather than little-endian.

Emmanuel Grumbach 9306102ea5 mac80211: allow disable FAT in specific configurations
This patch allows to disable FAT channel in specific configurations.

For example the configuration (8, +1), (primary channel 8, extension
channel 12) isn't permitted in U.S., but (8, -1), (primary channel 8,
extension channel 4) is. When FAT channel configuration is not
permitted, FAT channel should be reported as not supported in the
capabilities of the HT IE in association request. And sssociation is
performed on 20Mhz channel.

Ron Rindjunsky edcdf8b21a mac80211: separate Tx and Rx MCS when configuring HT
This patch follows the 11n spec in separation between Tx and Rx MCS
capabilities. Up until now, when configuring the HT possible set of Tx
MCS only Rx MCS were considered, assuming they are the same as the Tx MCS.
This patch fixed this by looking at low level driver Tx capabilities.

This patch updates mesh EID values, some of which where conflicting with
already-approved 11h EIDs (pointed out by Tomas Winkler). I wanted to use the
values suggested in the last available 802.11 draft (2.0) but it assigns 50 to
MESH_CONFIG, the same value than EXT_SUPP_RATES. Using the values proposed in
the draft incremented by one.

Daniel Drake 5628221caf [PATCH] mac80211: ERP IE handling improvements
The "protection needed" flag is currently parsed out of the ERP IE in
beacons. This patch allows the ERP IE to be available at assocation time
and causes the appropriate actions to be performed earlier.

It is slightly complicated by the fact that most APs don't include the
ERP IE in association responses. To work around this, we store ERP
values in the ieee80211_sta_bss structure.

Also added some WLAN_ERP defines for use by upcoming patches.
