mac80211: wowlan: enable powersave if suspend while ps-polling

2015-07-17T09:13:21+00:00

If for any reason we're in the middle of PS-polling or awake after
TX due to dynamic powersave while going to suspend, go back to save
power. This might cause a response frame to get lost, but since we
can't really wait for it while going to suspend that's still better
than not enabling powersave which would cause higher power usage
during (and possibly even after) suspend.

Note that this really only affects the very few drivers that use
the powersave implementation in mac80211.

mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap

2015-06-10T14:05:36+00:00

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
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

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.

mac80211: start queues if driver rejected wowlan

2015-03-04T09:34:09+00:00

If the driver rejects WoWLAN, restart the queues before returning
to cfg80211. cfg80211 will return to mac80211, but not before it
disconnects all interfaces. If we don't start the queues, any of
the packets needed for disconnecting won't be transmitted, which
is strange. Fix that.

mac80211: remove useless double check for open_count in __ieee80211_suspend()

2015-03-04T09:34:09+00:00

We check local->open_count at the top of the __ieee80211_suspend(), so
there's no need to check for it again.  open_count is protected by the
rtnl, so there's no chance for it to have change between the two
calls.

mac80211: don't do driver suspend with auth/assoc in progress

2015-03-04T09:34:08+00:00

Drivers can't really be expected to suspend properly while auth
or assoc is in progress since then they don't have any state
they could keep with WoWLAN, nor can they actually finish the
authentication or association. In fact, keeping this can cause
subtle issues with drivers like iwlwifi that refuse WoWLAN if
not associated, but have trouble figuring out what's going on
in the middle of association.

In any case, regardless of possible driver issues in this area,
it doesn't make sense for mac80211 to try to WoWLAN-suspend in
the middle of such operations, so stop them before.

mac80211: only roll back station states for WDS when suspending

2015-01-23T09:47:40+00:00

In normal cases (i.e. when we are fully associated), cfg80211 takes
care of removing all the stations before calling suspend in mac80211.

But in the corner case when we suspend during authentication or
association, mac80211 needs to roll back the station states.  But we
shouldn't roll back the station states in the suspend function,
because this is taken care of in other parts of the code, except for
WDS interfaces.  For AP types of interfaces, cfg80211 takes care of
disconnecting all stations before calling the driver's suspend code.
For station interfaces, this is done in the quiesce code.

For WDS interfaces we still need to do it here, so move the code into
a new switch case for WDS.

mac80211: let flush() drop packets when possible

2015-01-14T08:31:18+00:00

When roaming / suspending, it makes no sense to wait until
the transmit queues of the device are empty. In extreme
condition they can be starved (VO saturating the air), but
even in regular cases, it is pointless to delay the roaming
because the low level driver is trying to send packets to
an AP which is far away. We'd rather drop these packets and
let TCP retransmit if needed. This will allow to speed up
the roaming.

For suspend, the explanation is even more trivial.

mac80211: introduce refcount for queue_stop_reasons

2014-06-23T12:22:25+00:00

Sometimes different vifs may be stopping the queues for the same
reason (e.g. when several interfaces are performing a channel switch).
Instead of using a bitmask for the reasons, use an integer that holds
a refcount instead.  In order to keep it backwards compatible,
introduce a boolean in some functions that tell us whether the queue
stopping should be refcounted or not.  For now, use not refcounted for
all calls to keep it functionally the same as before.

mac80211: fix suspend vs. authentication race

2014-03-19T20:29:53+00:00

Since Stanislaw's patch removing the quiescing code, mac80211 had
a race regarding suspend vs. authentication: as cfg80211 doesn't
track authentication attempts, it can't abort them. Therefore the
attempts may be kept running while suspending, which can lead to
all kinds of issues, in at least some cases causing an error in
iwlmvm firmware.

Fix this by aborting the authentication attempt when suspending.
