354d381baf mac80211: add offset_tsf driver op and use it for mesh
This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental
TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in
programming absolute TSF.

Implement nan_change_conf callback which allows to change current
NAN configuration (master preference and dual band operation).
Store the current NAN configuration in sdata, so it can be used
both to provide the driver the updated configuration with changes
and also it will be used in hw reconfig flows in next patches.

add support to MU-MIMO air sniffer according groupID:

that belongs to that group using MU-MIMO.

add support for following a station according to its MAC address
using VHT MU-MIMO sniffer:
the monitors wait until they get an action MU-MIMO notification
frame, then parses it in order to find the groupID that corresponds
to the given MAC address and monitors packets destined to that

4fdbc67a25 mac80211: call get_expected_throughput only after adding station
Depending on which method the driver implements, userspace could
call this (indirectly, by getting station info) before the driver
knows about the station, possibly causing it to misbehave.

Therefore, add a check for sta->uploaded which indicates that the

This fixes a crash in wlcore because it was relying on a

f59374eb42 mac80211: synchronize driver rx queues before removing a station
Some devices, like iwlwifi, have RSS queues. This may cause a
situation where a disassociation is handled in control path and
results in station removal while there are prior RX frames
that were still not processed in other queues. When they will
be processed the station will be gone, and the frames will be
dropped.
Add a synchronization interface to avoid that. When driver returns
from the synchronization mac80211 may remove the station.

968a76cef3 mac80211: call drv_stop only if driver is started
If drv_start() fails during hw_restart, all the running
interfaces are being closed/stopped, which results in
drv_stop() being called, although the driver was never
started successfully.

This might cause drivers to perform operations on uninitialized
memory (as they assume it was initialized on drv_start)

Consider the local->started flag, and call the driver's stop()
op only if drv_start() succeeded before.

Move drv_start() and drv_stop() to driver-ops.c, as they are no
longer simple wrappers.

30686bf7f5 mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap
As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

ba8c3d6f16 mac80211: add an intermediate software queue implementation
This allows drivers to request per-vif and per-sta-tid queues from which
they can pull frames. This makes it easier to keep the hardware queues
short, and to improve fairness between clients and vifs.

The task of scheduling packet transmission is left up to the driver -
queueing is controlled by mac80211. Drivers can only dequeue packets by
calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue. This makes it possible to add active queue
management later without changing drivers using this code.

This can also be used as a starting point to implement A-MSDU
aggregation in a way that does not add artificially induced latency.

2b9a7e1bac mac80211: allow drivers to provide most station statistics
In many cases, drivers can filter things like beacons that will
skew statistics reported by mac80211. To get correct statistics
in these cases, call drivers to obtain statistics and let them
override all values, filling values from mac80211 if the driver
didn't provide them. Not all of them make sense for the driver
to fill, so some are still always done by mac80211.

Note that this doesn't currently allow a driver to say "I know
this value is wrong, don't report it at all", or to sum it up
with a mac80211 value (as could be useful for "dropped misc"),
that can be added if it turns out to be needed.

This also gets rid of the get_rssi() method as is can now be
implemented using sta_statistics().

the AP's channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since
a TDLS setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
Add a new mac80211 driver callback to allow discovery session protection.

1a5f0c13d1 mac80211: add a single-transaction driver op to switch contexts
In some cases, when the driver is already using all the channel
contexts it can handle at once, we have to do an in-place switch
(ie. we cannot afford using an extra context temporarily for the
transaction).  But some drivers may not support switching the channel
context assigned to a vif on the fly (ie. without unassigning and
assigning it) while others may only work if the context is changed on
the fly, without unassigning it first.

To allow these different scenarios, add a new driver operation that
let's the driver decide how to handle an in-place switch.

cca674d47e mac80211: export the expected throughput
Add get_expected_throughput() API to mac80211 so that each
driver can implement its own version based on the RC
algorithm they are using (might be using an HW RC algo).
The API returns a value expressed in Kbps.

Also, add the new get_expected_throughput() member
to the rate_control_ops structure in order to be
able to query the RC algorithm (this patch provides an
implementation of this API for both minstrel and
minstrel_ht).

The related member in the station_info object is now
filled accordingly when dumping a station.

f6837ba8c9 mac80211: handle failed restart/resume better
When the driver fails during HW restart or resume, the whole
stack goes into a very confused state with interfaces being
up while the hardware is down etc.

Address this by shutting down everything; we'll run into a
lot of warnings in the process but that's better than having
the whole stack get messed up.

Since the vif might be NULL, we can't add it to the tracing

37e3308cb2 mac80211: allow driver to return error from sched_scan_stop
In order to solve races with sched_scan_stop, it is necessary
for the driver to be able to return an error to propagate that
to cfg80211 so it doesn't send an event.

6a9d1b91f3 mac80211: add pre-RCU-sync sta removal driver operation
Currently, mac80211 allows drivers to keep RCU-protected station
references that are cleared when the station is removed from the
driver and consequently needs to synchronize twice, once before
removing the station from the driver (so it can guarantee that
the station is no longer used in TX towards the driver) and once
after the station is removed from the driver.

Add a new pre-RCU-synchronisation station removal operation to
the API to allow drivers to clear/invalidate their RCU-protected
station pointers before the RCU synchronisation.

This will allow removing the second synchronisation by changing
the driver API so that the driver may no longer assume a valid
RCU-protected pointer after sta_remove/sta_state returns.

The alternative to this would be to synchronize_rcu() in all the
drivers that currently rely on this behaviour (only iwlmvm) but
that would defeat the purpose.

The count field in CSA must be decremented with each beacon
transmitted. This patch implements the functionality for drivers
using ieee80211_beacon_get(). Other drivers must call back manually
after reaching count == 0.

This patch also contains the handling and finish worker for the channel
switch command, and mac80211/chanctx code to allow to change a channel
definition of an active channel context.
