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.Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch

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.Rename "HT information" to "HT operation" and also
the control_chan field to primary_chan to match
the name used in the spec.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

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.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Previously QoS multicast frames had the Normal Acknowledgment QoS
control bits set. This would cause broadcast frames to be discarded by
peers with which we have a BA session, since their sequence number would
fall outside the allowed range. Set No Ack QoS control bits on multicast

Register and implement the TDLS cfg80211 callback functions.
Internally prepare and send TDLS management frames. We incorporate
local STA capabilities and supported rates with extra IEs given by
usermode. The resulting packet is either encapsulated in a data frame,
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
kernel driver for sending TDLS mgmt packets.Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov

In this implementation, a mesh gate is a root node with a certain bit
set in its RANN flags. The mpath to this root node is marked as a path
to a gate, and added to our list of known gates for this if_mesh. Once a
path discovery process fails, we forward the unresolved frames to a
known gate. Thanks to Luis Rodriguez for refactoring and bug fix help.Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona

make this happen:- Change RX path to handle new self-protected frames
- Add new Peering management IE
- Remove old Peer Link IE
- Remove old plink_action field in ieee80211_mgmt headerThese changes by themselves would either break peering, or work by

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
remove it before someone does start using it.Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona

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.xlsA 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.Signed-off-by: Steve deRosier

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.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11
data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard.According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:1. It is QoS data frame.
2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield

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.Tested with wl1251 on a Nokia N900 and Cisco Aironet 1231G AP and running
various test traffic with ping.Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

Some hardware, for example wl1251 and wl1271, handle the transmission
of power save related frames in hardware, but the driver is responsible
for creating the templates. It's better to create the templates in mac80211,
that way all drivers can benefit from this.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.Also new struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr is added to ieee80211.h to make it
easy to calculate length of the Nullfunc frame.Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

Currently, we insert all user-specified IEs before the HT
IE for association, and after the HT IE for probe requests.
For association, that's correct only if the user-specified
IEs are RSN only, incorrect in all other cases including
WPA. Change this to split apart the user-specified IEs in
two places for association: before the HT IE (e.g. RSN),
after the HT IE (generally empty right now I think?) and
after WMM (all other vendor-specific IEs). For probes,
split the IEs in different places to be correct according
to the spec.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
