* Backport mac80211 from 3.4 kernelWolfgang Wiedmeyer2017-01-211-33/+63
| | | | | | | | | The ath9k_htc driver depends on mac80211, but mac80211 can't be build. The reason is that net/wireless is almost completely backported from a 3.4 kernel. To follow suit, mac80211 is also backported from 3.4, more precisely from 3.4.113. This makes mac80211 build. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Wiedmeyer <wolfgit@wiedmeyer.de>

| * mac80211: fix contention time computation in minstrel, minstrel_htDaniel Halperin2011-05-121-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When transmitting a frame, the transmitter waits a random number of slots between 0 and cw. Thus, the contention time is (cw / 2) * t_slot which we can represent instead as (cw * t_slot) >> 1. Also fix a few other accounting bugs around contention time, and add comments.

* | mac80211: fix a crash in minstrel_ht in HT mode with no supported MCS ratesFelix Fietkau2011-03-281-7/+18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | When a client connects in HT mode but does not provide any valid MCS rates, the function that finds the next sample rate gets stuck in an infinite loop. Fix this by falling back to legacy rates if no usable MCS rates are found. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Shortcut minstrel_ht rate setup for non-MRR capable devicesHelmut Schaa2011-03-141-7/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Devices without multi rate retry support won't be able to use all rates as specified by mintrel_ht. Hence, we can simply skip setting up further rates as the devices will only use the first one. Also add a special case for devices with only two possible tx rates. We use sample_rate -> max_prob_rate for sampling and max_tp_rate -> max_prob_rate by default. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Add timeout to BA session start APISujith Manoharan2010-12-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow drivers or rate control algorithms to specify BlockAck session timeout when initiating an ADDBA transaction. This is useful in cases where maintaining persistent BA sessions does not incur any overhead. The current timeout value of 5000 TUs is retained for all non ath9k/ath9k_htc drivers.

* mac80211: minstrel_ht A-MPDU fixBjörn Smedman2010-10-111-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames: 1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag. 2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was ACKed or not.

* mac80211: use RCU for TX aggregationJohannes Berg2010-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we allocate some memory for each TX aggregation session and additionally keep a state bitmap indicating the state it is in. By using RCU to protect the pointer, moving the state into the structure and some locking trickery we can avoid locking when the TX agg session is fully operational.
