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
since frag_tail pointer is NULL when ieee80211_amsdu_aggregate
routine analyzes the second frame.

[ Upstream commit aa58acf325 ]
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

Instead, put the padding at the head of the next subframe.
This also fixes the A-MSDU subframes to not have the padding

With TXQs, the AP_VLAN interfaces are resolved to their owner AP
interface when enqueuing the frame, which makes sense since the
frame really goes out on that as far as the driver is concerned.
However, this introduces a problem: frames to be encrypted with
a VLAN-specific GTK will now be encrypted with the AP GTK, since
the information about which virtual interface to use to select
the key is taken from the TXQ.
Fix this by preserving info->control.vif and using that in the
dequeue function. This now requires doing the driver-mapping
in the dequeue as well.
Since there's no way to filter the frames that are sitting on a
TXQ, drop all frames, which may affect other interfaces, when an
AP_VLAN is removed.

CoDel can be too aggressive if a station sends at a very low rate,
leading reduced throughput. This gets worse the more stations are
present, as each station gets more bursty the longer the round-robin
scheduling between stations takes.
This adds dynamic adjustment of CoDel parameters per station. It uses
the rate selection information to estimate throughput and sets more
lenient CoDel parameters if the estimated throughput is below a
threshold (modified by the number of active stations).
A new callback is added that drivers can use to notify mac80211 about
changes in expected throughput, so the same adjustment can be made for
cards that implement rate control in firmware. Drivers that don't use
this will just get the default parameters.

Existing API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' returns default 2 GHz band even
if the channel context configuration is NULL. This crashes for chipsets
which support 5 Ghz alone when it tries to access members of 'sband'.
Channel context configuration can be NULL in multivif case and when
channel switch is in progress (or) when it fails. Fix this by replacing
the API 'ieee80211_get_sdata_band' with 'ieee80211_get_sband' which
returns a NULL pointer for sband when the channel configuration is NULL.
An example scenario is as below:
In multivif mode (AP + STA) with drivers like ath10k, when we do a
channel switch in the AP vif (which has a number of clients connected)
and a STA vif which is connected to some other AP, when the channel
switch in AP vif fails, while the STA vifs tries to connect to the
other AP, there is a window where the channel context is NULL/invalid
and this results in a crash while the clients connected to the AP vif
tries to reconnect and this race is very similar to the one investigated
by Michal in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3788161/ and this does
happens with hardware that supports 5Ghz alone after long hours of
testing with continuous channel switch on the AP vif

Station structure is considered as not uploaded
(to driver) until drv_sta_state() finishes. This
call is however done after the structure is
attached to mac80211 internal lists and hashes.
This means mac80211 can lookup (and use) station
structure before it is uploaded to a driver.
If this happens (structure exists, but
sta->uploaded is false) fast_tx path can still be
taken. Deep in the fastpath call the sta->uploaded
is checked against to derive "pubsta" argument for
ieee80211_get_txq(). If sta->uploaded is false
(and sta is actually non-NULL) ieee80211_get_txq()
effectively downgraded to vif->txq.
At first glance this may look innocent but coerces
mac80211 into a state that is almost guaranteed
(codel may drop offending skb) to crash because a
station-oriented skb gets queued up on
vif-oriented txq. The ieee80211_tx_dequeue() ends
up looking at info->control.flags and tries to use
txq->sta which in the fail case is NULL.
It's probably pointless to pretend one can
downgrade skb from sta-txq to vif-txq.
Since downgrading unicast traffic to vif->txq must
not be done there's no txq to put a frame on if
sta->uploaded is false. Therefore the code is made
to fall back to regular tx() op path if the
described condition is hit.
Only drivers using wake_tx_queue were affected.

In ieee80211_xmit_fast(), 'info' is initialized to point to the skb
that's passed in, but that skb may later be replaced by a clone (if
it was shared), leading to an invalid pointer.
This can lead to use-after-free and also later crashes since the
real SKB's info->hw_queue doesn't get initialized properly.
Fix this by assigning info only later, when it's needed, after the
skb replacement (may have) happened.

Add the ability for an AP (and associated VLANs) to perform
multicast-to-unicast conversion for ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 frames
(possibly within 802.1Q). If enabled, such frames are to be sent
to each station separately, with the DA replaced by their own
MAC address rather than the group address.
Note that this may break certain expectations of the receiver,
such as the ability to drop unicast IP packets received within
multicast L2 frames, or the ability to not send ICMP destination
unreachable messages for packets received in L2 multicast (which
is required, but the receiver can't tell the difference if this
new option is enabled.)
This also doesn't implement the 802.11 DMS (directed multicast

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

This patch adds filtering for multicast data packets on AP_VLAN
interfaces that have no authorized station connected and changes
filtering on AP interfaces to not count stations assigned to
AP_VLAN interfaces.
This saves airtime and avoids waking up other stations currently
authorized in this BSS. When using WPA, the packets dropped could
not be decrypted by any station.
The behaviour when there are no AP_VLAN interfaces is left unchanged.
When there are AP_VLAN interfaces, this patch
1. adds filtering multicast data packets sent on AP_VLAN interfaces
that have no authorized station connected.
No filtering happens on 4addr AP_VLAN interfaces.
2. makes filtering of multicast data packets sent on AP interfaces
depend on the number of authorized stations in this bss not
assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.
Therefore, a new num_mcast_sta counter is added for AP_VLAN interfaces.
The existing one for AP interfaces is altered to not track stations
assigned to an AP_VLAN interface.
The new counter is exposed in debugfs.

The TXQ intermediate queues can cause packet reordering when more than
one flow is active to a single station. Since some of the wifi-specific
packet handling (notably sequence number and encryption handling) is
sensitive to re-ordering, things break if they are applied before the
TXQ.
This splits up the TX handlers and fast_xmit logic into two parts: An
early part and a late part. The former is applied before TXQ enqueue,
and the latter after dequeue. The non-TXQ path just applies both parts
at once.
Because fragments shouldn't be split up or reordered, the fragmentation
handler is run after dequeue. Any fragments are then kept in the TXQ and
on subsequent dequeues they take precedence over dequeueing from the FQ
structure.
This approach avoids having to scatter special cases all over the place
for when TXQ is enabled, at the cost of making the fast_xmit and TX
handler code slightly more complex.

Small devices can run out of memory from queueing too many packets. If
VHT is not supported by the PHY, having more than 4 MBytes of total
queue in the TXQ intermediate queues is not needed, and so we can safely
limit the memory usage in these cases and avoid OOM.

The A-MSDU TX code (within TXQs) didn't always check the return value
of skb_linearize() properly, resulting in potentially passing a frag-
list SKB down to the driver even when it said it can't handle it. Fix
that.

smatch pointed out that the second check of "tdls_auth" was
pointless since if it was true, we returned from the function
already. We can further simplify the code by moving the first
check (if it's a TDLS peer at all) into the outer if, to only
handle that inside. This simplifies the control flow here.

Currently the 'aqm' stats in mac80211 only keeps overlimit drop stats,
not CoDel stats. This moves the CoDel stats into the txqi structure to
keep them per txq in order to show them in debugfs.
In addition, the aqm debugfs output is restructured by splitting it up
into three files: One global per phy, one per netdev and one per
station, in the appropriate directories. The files are all called aqm,
and are only created if the driver supports the wake_tx_queue op (rather
than emitting an error on open as previously).

The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have
a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting.
However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx
status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames"
warning on module reload.
Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.

Previously, the action frames to group address was not encrypted. But
[1] "Table 8-38 Category values" indicates "Mesh" and "Multihop" category
action frames should be encrypted (Group addressed privacy == yes). And the
encyption key should be MGTK ([1] 10.13 Group addressed robust management frame
procedures). So this patch modifies the code to make it suitable for spec.

There is no other limit other than a global
packet count limit when using software queuing.
This means a single flow queue can grow insanely
long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion
algorithms which requires a little more
sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere
headdrop on limit overflow.
Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs)
CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP
convergence and stability when combined with
wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo
at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.

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
easily and efficiently.
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
depends on driver's induced latency. Best results
can be achieved if driver keeps its own tx
queue/fifo fill level to a minimum.

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.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support. For good
performance, drivers need frag_list support as well. This avoids the
need for copying data of aggregated frames. Running without it is only
supported for debugging purposes.
To avoid performance and packet size issues, the rate control module or
driver needs to limit the maximum A-MSDU size by setting
max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
