wifi: mac80211_hwsim: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2023-02-14T11:09:18+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

This change replicates following commit:
  commit 15e473046cb6 ("netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion")

====================
pull-request: wireless-next-2022-10-28

First set of patches v6.2. mac80211 refactoring continues for Wi-Fi 7.
All mac80211 driver are now converted to use internal TX queues, this
might cause some regressions so we wanted to do this early in the
cycle.

Note: wireless tree was merged[1] to wireless-next to avoid some
conflicts with mac80211 patches between the trees. Unfortunately there
are still two smaller conflicts in net/mac80211/util.c which Stephen
also reported[2]. In the first conflict initialise scratch_len to
"params->scratch_len ?: 3 * params->len" (note number 3, not 2!) and
in the second conflict take the version which uses elems->scratch_pos.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: fix debugfs attribute ps with rc table support

2022-10-21T10:37:28+00:00

Fixes a warning that occurs when rc table support is enabled
(IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE) in mac80211_hwsim and the PS mode
is changed via the exported debugfs attribute.

When the PS mode is changed, a packet is broadcasted via
hwsim_send_nullfunc by creating and transmitting a plain skb with only
header initialized. The ieee80211 rate array in the control buffer is
zero-initialized. When ratetbl support is enabled, ieee80211_get_tx_rates
is called for the skb with sta parameter set to NULL and thus no
ratetbl can be used. The final rate array then looks like
[-1,0; 0,0; 0,0; 0,0] which causes the warning in ieee80211_get_tx_rate.

The issue is fixed by setting the count of the first rate with idx '0'
to 1 and hence ieee80211_get_tx_rates won't overwrite it with idx '-1'.

wifi: mac80211: add wake_tx_queue callback to drivers

2022-10-10T09:00:03+00:00

mac80211 is fully switching over to the internal TX queue (iTXQ)
implementation. Update all drivers not yet providing the now mandatory
wake_tx_queue() callback.

As an side effect the netdev interfaces of all updated drivers will
switch to the noqueue qdisc.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: avoid mac80211 warning on bad rate

2022-10-10T07:51:13+00:00

If the tool on the other side (e.g. wmediumd) gets confused
about the rate, we hit a warning in mac80211. Silence that
by effectively duplicating the check here and dropping the
frame silently (in mac80211 it's dropped with the warning).

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: always activate all links

2022-09-06T08:17:27+00:00

By default, even in client mode, hwsim always had all links
active, where it then uses them in a round-robin fashion.
Re-enable that by activating all valid links work right after
the connection is authorized.

wifi: mac80211: add vif/sta link RCU dereference macros

2022-09-06T08:14:45+00:00

Add macros (and an exported function) to allow checking some
link RCU protected accesses that are happening in callbacks
from mac80211 and are thus under the correct lock.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: send NDP for link (de)activation

2022-09-06T08:14:36+00:00

In hwsim we now track when we receive NDP (or other frames
carrying a PM bit) to see if a link should be active, but
then of course we also need to transmit NDPs to at least
set a link to inactive when we deacivate it. Implement that
as well as sending an NDP when we activate a link, which
allows receiving frames before transmitting any.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: track active STA links

2022-09-06T08:14:01+00:00

Track the powersave bit on frames where we can look up
the STA by link addresses and set the links active or
inactive accordingly, and use this information to TX
only on links that are actually active in the peer.

Note that this doesn't implement powersave fully so
if no link is active things will not work right.
