The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have

However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx

Beacon report radio measurement requires reporting observed BSSs
on the channels specified in the beacon request. If the measurement
mode is set to passive or active, it requires actually performing a
scan (passive or active, accordingly), and reporting the time that
the scan was started and the time each beacon/probe was received
(both in terms of TSF of the BSS of the requesting AP). If the
request mode is table, this information is optional.
In addition, the radio measurement request specifies the channel
dwell time for the measurement.
In order to use scan for beacon report when the mode is active or
passive, add a parameter to scan request that specifies the
channel dwell time, and add scan start time and beacon received time
to scan results information.
Supporting beacon report is required for Multi Band Operation (MBO).

We've accumulated a couple of different fixes now to mesh_sta_cleanup()
due to the different paths that user_mpm and !user_mpm cases take -- one
fix to flush nexthop paths and one to fix the counting.
The only caller of mesh_plink_deactivate() is mesh_sta_cleanup(), so we
can push the user_mpm checks down into there in order to share more
code.
In doing so, we can remove an extra call to mesh_path_flush_by_nexthop()
and the (unnecessary) call to mesh_accept_plinks_update(). This will
also ensure the powersaving state code gets called in the user_mpm case.

There is no other limit other than a global

This means a single flow queue can grow insanely

sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.
Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)

mac80211's software queues were designed to work
very closely with device tx queues. They are
required to make use of 802.11 packet aggregation

Due to the way 802.11 aggregation is designed it
only makes sense to keep fair queuing as close to
hardware as possible to reduce induced latency and
inertia and provide the best flow responsiveness.
This change doesn't translate directly to
immediate and significant gains. End result

Qdiscs are designed with no regard to 802.11
aggregation requirements and hand out
packet-by-packet with no guarantee they are
destined to the same tid. This does more bad than
good no matter how fairly a given qdisc may behave
on an ethernet interface.
Software queuing used per-AC netdev subqueue
congestion control whenever a global AC limit was
hit. This meant in practice a single station or
tid queue could starve others rather easily. This
could resonate with qdiscs in a bad way or could
just end up with poor aggregation performance.
Increasing the AC limit would increase induced
latency which is also bad.
Disabling qdiscs by default and performing
taildrop instead of netdev subqueue congestion
control on the other hand makes it possible for
tid queues to fill up "in the meantime" while
preventing stations starving each other.
This increases aggregation opportunities and
should allow software queuing based drivers
achieve better performance by utilizing airtime
more efficiently with big aggregates.

When using RSS, frames might not be processed in the correct order,
and thus AP_LINK_PS must be used; most likely with firmware keeping
track of the powersave state, this is the case in iwlwifi now.
In this case, the driver can use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to
still have mac80211 manage powersave buffering. However, for U-APSD
and PS-Poll this isn't sufficient. If the device can't manage that
entirely on its own, mac80211's code should be used.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
The regular RX path has a lot of code, but with a few
assumptions on the hardware it's possible to reduce the
amount of code significantly. Currently the assumptions
on the driver are the following:
* hardware/driver reordering buffer (if supporting aggregation)
* hardware/driver decryption & PN checking (if using encryption)
* hardware/driver did de-duplication
* hardware/driver did A-MSDU deaggregation
* AP_LINK_PS is used (in AP mode)
* no client powersave handling in mac80211 (in client mode)
of which some are actually checked per packet:
* de-duplication
* PN checking
* decryption
and additionally packets must
* not be A-MSDU (have been deaggregated by driver/device)
* be data packets
* not be fragmented
* be unicast
* have RFC 1042 header
Additionally dynamically we assume:
* no encryption or CCMP/GCMP, TKIP/WEP/other not allowed
* station must be authorized
* 4-addr format not enabled
Some data needed for the RX path is cached in a new per-station
"fast_rx" structure, so that we only need to look at this and
the packet, no other memory when processing packets on the fast
RX path.
After doing the above per-packet checks, the data path collapses
down to a pretty simple conversion function taking advantage of
the data cached in the small fast_rx struct.
This should speed up the RX processing, and will make it easier
to reason about parallelizing RX (for which statistics will need
to be per-CPU still.)
