mac80211: parse VHT channel switch IEs

2013-04-16T13:29:45+00:00

VHT introduces multiple IEs that need to be parsed for a
wide bandwidth channel switch. Two are (currently) needed
in mac80211:
 * wide bandwidth channel switch element
 * channel switch wrapper element

The former is contained in the latter for beacons and probe
responses, but not for the spectrum management action frames
so the IE parser needs a new argument to differentiate them.

mac80211: handle extended channel switch announcement

2013-04-16T13:29:45+00:00

Handle the (public) extended channel switch announcement
action frames. Parts of the data in these frames isn't
really in IEs, but put it into the elems struct anyway
to simplify the handling.

mac80211: support secondary channel offset in CSA

2013-04-16T13:29:44+00:00

Add support for the secondary channel offset IE in channel
switch announcements. This is necessary for proper handling
of CSA on HT access points.

For this to work it is also necessary to convert everything
here to use chandef structs instead of just channels. The
driver updates aren't really correct though. In particular,
the TI wl18xx driver update can't possibly be right since
it just ignores the new channel width for lack of firmware
API.

mac80211: support extended channel switch

2013-04-16T13:29:43+00:00

Support extended channel switch when the operating
class is one of the global operating classes as
defined in Annex E of 802.11-2012. If it isn't,
disconnect from the AP instead.

mac80211: unify CSA action frame/beacon processing

2013-04-16T13:29:42+00:00

CSA action frame content should be processed as variable IEs
rather than fixed to make it extensible. Unify the code and
process them just like CSA in beacons to make it easier to
extend for HT/VHT.

mac80211: parse Timeout Interval Element using a struct

2013-04-08T07:16:58+00:00

Instead of open-coding the accesses and length check do
the length check in the IE parser and assign a struct
pointer for use in the remaining code.

mac80211: restrict peer's VHT capabilities to own

2013-03-06T15:36:03+00:00

Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own
capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more
than one device and the devices have different capabilities
(often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but
in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to
work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise,
due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still
use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC.

wireless: remove unused VHT MCS defines

2013-03-06T15:35:47+00:00

There's an enum with the same values (but slightly
different names except for NOT_SUPPORTED) that is
actually used, so remove the defines.

ieee80211: mark 802.11 related structs as being 2-byte aligned

2013-03-06T15:35:45+00:00

Regardless of what header features they use, or if they align the IP
header or not, 802.11 packets from all drivers guarantee a 2-byte
alignment (and there's a debug WARN_ON in case they don't).

Annotate packet structs with __aligned(2) to allow the compiler to use
16-bit load/store operations on platforms with extremely inefficient
unaligned access (e.g. MIPS).

This reduces code size and improves performance on affected platforms
and causes no binary code change on others.
